HUDA BEAUTY The New Nude Palette

I currently own all four of the big HUDA BEAUTY palettes, and I fell for the colour story of this one as soon as I saw it. The designs for the bigger palettes always look stunning!

THE PACKAGING

The packaging is quite simple and made of nude pink cardboard, but it has Huda’s face on the front. Huda’s eyes are closed and it looks like she is wearing a fascinator, which is covering part of her face. The palette has a magnetic closing and you just lift it up to reveal the mirror and square eyeshadow pans.

THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA

You get eighteen eyeshadows with a net weight of 19.7g in Matte (M), Reflective (R), Glitter (G), Pressed Pearl (PP) and Cream Base (CB) finishes.

·        Insane Pigmentation

·        Flatter any skin tone

·        Cruelty-Free

MY THOUGHTS

·        Primer/Base - The eyeshadows are pigmented enough without a primer or base, but I would always layer one down. I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance and Too Faced Glitter Glue.

·        Pigmentation - The pigmentation is ok, but building is required with some of the matte shades. The metallics are ok and the glitters are not bad when applied over glitter glue. I wouldn’t say the pigmentation is insane, like it is advertised to be!

·        Application (wet/dry) - The eyeshadows can be applied wet or dry. I always use mattes dry, unless I am applying them to my lower lash line or using them as eyeliner. The cream/metallics/glitters are best applied with your finger, wet or dry.

·        Blending - The mattes blend ok, but a lot of the colours look the same when blended out.

·        Kick-Back - Obviously, there is always going to be kick-back in your eyeshadow pans as you are disturbing powders. The kick-back was not a concern or issue for me in this particular palette.

·        Fallout - I didn’t notice any fallout with the cream, matte or metalli shades, but you will get slight fallout with the two glitters. A very tacky glitter glue is a necessity!

 

I was so excited to try out this palette, but I was left slightly disappointed by it. The shades are very light and mauvy toned and all look the same when blended out. The pigmentation is just above average, but blending was effortless. I’m not sure if the shades really flatter any skin tone as Lace and Secret were too light for me and barely showed up. You do have to build up the lighter matte shades quite a bit too. I really don’t get the cream base shade. It is very thin and sheer, but it can work as a base but I wouldn’t trust it without primer anyway. The metallic sort of shades were just not metallic enough. They look kind of magical and molten in the pans, but this definitely does not transfer to the eyes. I’m not overly keen on pressed glitters and I have tried better and more inexpensive pressed glitters before. I really dislike when brands overly mix up formulas in one palette. My favourite shade is Daydream. Overall, this palette is great for a natural look, but it just isn’t my vibe!

 

You can purchase the HUDA BEAUTY The New Nude Palette for £56.00 ($65.00) from HudaBeauty.com.

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...

Empties #10 - August & September 2013

I have combined two month’s worth of empties again. At the end of August my box wasn’t that full, so I decided to carry on collecting and hope I use up more stuff. The majority of stuff I used up was necessities as usual, but there are some extra bits too. Here is what I managed to use up within two months:- Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser | 100ml I have used another tube of this and have already re-purchased it. It works really well and doubles as a hand cream and most importantly, it is very inexpensive. Price - £1.49 Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) | 500ml This is my favourite mouthwash and I have already re-purchased it. Although I get it for around £2.99, I still wish it was cheaper. Price - £4.60 Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant | 150ml + 250ml I have used more of these as usual and I still haven’t found anything that is better. I have however found a cheaper place to buy it f...

Review: Travalo Classic

I was sorting through some old pictures in my blog folder on my computer and I came across some Travalo pictures I took, and remembered I was mean’t to do a post about it. So better late than never, I am going to share with you how to use it and what I think. About the Travalo The Travalo is a small and handy perfume atomiser that allows you to decant a small amount of your favourite perfume into the tube and carry it with you, so you don’t have to carry around the bottle. It is made of strong, light aluminium and is 80mm in size and holds 4ml of liquid, which is approximately fifty sprays. It is also a “perfectly” rounded shape, which means there are no corners, so you don’t have to worry about it ripping your handbag, purse and pockets or scratching any furniture and surfaces. How to Use It If you want to decant some perfume to put in the Travalo you need to: 1. Take the spray cap off the perfume bottle 2. Get your Travalo and hold it upright over the spray s...
