Violet Voss Holy Grail Palette

I had heard of this cosmetic brand before, but I never looked into it. I’m not really sure of the origins, but a picture of this palette flashed up on the homepage of BeautyBay and I just clicked it. A few more clicks later and I am now a proud owner of the Violet Voss Holy Grail Palette!
The palette itself has a rectangular shape to it and it is slightly bulky and has a little weight to it. It has a magnetic closing and when you lift the lid it reveals the eyeshadow pans and a mirror. The packaging colour scheme matches the eyeshadow shades, brown and burgundy.
You get twenty 36g warm neutral toned eyeshadows in a variety of finishes.
CRYSTAL - champagne nude shimmer
PLOOF - bronzed rose pink neutral
THANKS A LATTE - matte nude
TRANSITION - matte honey coffee
HASHTAG - rich terracotta
AWESOME SAUCE - copper shimmer
BESTIE - matte mocha cream
TOFFEE - duo-chrome brown with shimmer
CHILL - shimmery chocolate gold
HOW U DOIN - pink toned bronze shimmer
BAT MY EYES - deep brown shimmer
COOL BEANS - pale chocolate shimmer
R U KITTEN ME - matte brown with terracotta
SO JELLY - deep rose pink shimmer
ON FLEEK - chocolate orange with petal pink
BROWNIE POINTS - matte dark coffee
TEDDY BEAR - dark burgundy with brown
GLAMPING - metallic chocolate rouge shimmer
CRANBERRY SPLASH - dark pink shimmer
WINE N DINE - matte dark berry rouge with wine

The eyeshadows should all be highly pigmented and enable smooth blending to create flawless looks.

The shade selection is absolutely gorgeous! The eyeshadows are soft, buttery, highly and extremely pigmented as well as being effortless to blend! I am completely blown away by this palette and it has now overtaken Tarte as my favourite eyeshadow brand! You can use them wet, although you don’t need to as they look so intense like they are already wet. I find just wearing eye primer underneath is all you need. I am now very excited for any future palettes Violet Voss has to offer.

Glossybox #25 - February 2019

This is my third Glossybox since I re-subscribed last year. It is also the Valentine’s Day themed box. I would say that so far, this box seems to be the one most tailored to my usual interests. I received seven products in this box, technically six because two go hand in hand. HUDA BEAUTY Lip Contour in Venus This lip pencil formula is supposed to be waterproof and transfer-free. It should glide on effortlessly and give your lips an intense shot of colour. You can use it to contour or colour your lips or pair it with a lipstick. Venus is a warm beige nude shade. It glides onto your lips very easy, but it feels a little tacky when you fill your whole lips in with it. I’m not sure how often I would use this seeing as though I have never used lip liner. I prefer liquid lipsticks and I don’t feel the need to line my lips before applying it. | 1.20g - £16.00 | NAILS INC Nail Varnish in Status Ready This nail polish should be long lasting and super glossy. It is a deep che

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shimmer

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes. Swatch Stencil: Stripes Double 14 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk Virgin - bone white (M) Good Morning - soft pink
