Current Favourite Eyeshadow Palettes


Eyeshadow has never really been my favourite part of my make up routine, I find it can be messy and as I'm someone who prefers to apply my concealer before I create any eye look, fall down is at times inevitable and thus super annoying. Despite this, with great eyeshadow palettes making a home in my collection I find myself enjoying the process of applying eyeshadow more now, and these products are a huge reason why. 

All three of these have separate but equally positive reviews on my blog and they all very quickly became fast favourites of mine after the first use. Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita Luxury Palette, Make Up Geek Eyshadows in a small Z Palette and MeMeMe Cosmetics Ultimate Eye Palette Soft Rose. 


Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita Luxury Palette: With a clue in the name, this is a luxurious palette, pricey at £38 as expected of Charlotte Tilbury, but worth the money all the same. All four shades are different, but equally lovely, and this palette in particular is very versatile, helping to create perfect differing looks for day time through to night. Full review here.

Make Up Geek Eyeshadows & Z Palette: I was so happy when these were finally made available for UK purchase on Beauty Bay and have a review here of the first three shades I picked out. I recently purchased three more and I am so happy with the colours I added to my collection 'latte,' taupe notch' and 'mocha' all compliment each other when used together or work well on their own. I really recommend Make Up Geek eye shadows, there are so many colours to choose from, they are easy to blend and all super pigmented. Z Palette, also available at Beauty Bay have a range of different sizes and colours to choose from to store your eye shadows in. 

MeMeMe Cosmetics Ultimate Eye Palette Soft Rose: Eight subtle but lovely shades to choose from, a mix of matte and shimmer shades, these are not overly pigmented, but they can be easily built up, and the palette comes with a handy brush. Read more about it here, plus more products from MeMeMe Cosmetics.

Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita Palette




L-R: Prime, Enhance, Pop and Smoke

I am finally the proud owner of my first Charlotte Tilbury product! I decided to go with one of the beautiful colour-coded eye shadow palettes and after debating between 'Dolce Vita' and 'Vintage Vamp' I chose 'Dolce Vita' and I am so chuffed with my choice. 
Not only is the packaging beautiful- light and compact, but the product itself is so lovely that it is definitely the most luxurious product in my make up collection - which is expected for the rather hefty price tag! 
The four shades help to create such versatile looks such as a glam and golden glittery eye to a smoky burgundy look. All four shades  have a lovely texture and are so pigmented as well as easily blend-able and build-able. I have green eyes and I personally think this palette compliments them so well. 
The press on golden pigment is like no other shade I own, great for creating a look perfect for going out! 
This palette really does make me swoon and is pretty much perfection. I wouldn't say it's a palette you need in your collection in terms of being an essential item, but for what it is and the price you pay (£38) it is super luxurious and beautiful.
