Urban Decay Ammo 2 Palette

This palette has been around for years and I didn’t really have any interest in it, until they re-vamped and re-launched it! The newest version has already been around for a few years and I still told myself NO, but this year I finally caved in and bought it.

The design of this palette is very small and compact, but it does have some weight to it. It is made of a hard cardboard type material and it is a slightly gunmetal silver shade with purple detailing. It has a magnetic closure and when you open it, a small mirror is revealed. Inside the palette there are ten mini eyeshadows and a small eyeshadow brush. Separate to the palette, but included in the set is a mini primer potion.

The ten mini eyeshadows are 0.8g and are of the amazing quality Urban Decay is renowned for. They are velvety soft, pigmented and blend really well. There is also a good shade selection in this palette and the brighter shades are not too out there, so the selection is perfect for the safe neutral lover like me.

Smog - deep copper w/bronze shimmer

Mildew - mossy green shimmer w/golden undertones

Oil Slick - deep matte black w/silver glitter

Last Call - metallic plum purple

Chopper - copper shimmer w/silver glitter

Maui Wowie - metallic golden beige w/silver glitter

Shattered - turquoise shimmer w/gold shift

Polyester Bride - snow white shimmer w/silver glitter

Grifter - sheer lavender shimmer w/silver glitter

Sin - champagne shimmer

The brush you get is a mini Good Karma Eyeshadow Brush, which is very flat and dense and enables you to pack eyeshadow onto your lids. I have several sizes of this brush from other UD palettes and I love them! You get a mini travel size (3.7ml) of Primer Potion in the original shade. This is a great primer and the packaging is lovely.

I really like this palette. It has the perfect balance of shades for me and I like that they are not full sized. The brush is great, but I do prefer a fluffier brush to apply eyeshadow on my lids. I love the primer! Overall a good buy and a way to try more UD eyeshadow shades.

Jouer Skinny Dip Palette

I first saw this palette when Jouer released their Skinny Dip make-up collection and I nearly bought it, but I changed my mind because I already have a million palettes. As you can see, I have changed my mind again and I am very glad that I did. The packaging is quite compact. It is made out of reflective foil gold cardboard and the typography is simple. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift to reveal a small rectangular mirror on one side and then the six eyeshadow pans on the other. The shade names are written underneath each pan. You get six ultra-foil shimmer eyeshadows in blinding shades with a net weight of 7.5g. The sixth shade is actually described as more of a glitter shade. STAR LIGHT - platinum BIKINI - champagne pink SKINNY DIP - champagne gold TAN LINES - antique bronze MAGIC HOUR - warm taupe MIDNIGHT SWIM - cocoa bronze The eyeshadows should be highly pigmented, have an intense shimmery and metallic finish, be long wearing and cre

Review: Rimmel Wake Me Up

Wake Me Up Foundation I bought this after seeing the advertisement for it on Rimmel’s Facebook, and I thought the description sounded perfect for me. The packaging is made of glass and it has a curved shape, with the Rimmel logo and product name printed in the centre on a bit of plastic tape. The cap is a slanted block shape made of plastic and it is a bright orange colour with glitter sparkle. This product has an orange plastic pump, which dispenses the product. All the relevant information is printed on the back, like most products. It is also packaged in a plastic wrapper, with a security tag. This product is marketed as a foundation that “instantly reawakens skin, with a healthy, radiant glow”. It is also mean’t to be light weight and give a poreless and flawless complexion. It also contains SPF15 for sun protection and illuminating pearls, which is mean’t to give your face a natural glow. It is also mean’t to “bounce your skin back to life” and banish the signs of fat
