Clinque; 'Beach Plum' palette (£20.00)
This palette contains two colours, one shimmering gold colour and one golden purple, the pigmentation of these two colours is amazing, I wear the goldy colour as a base and then mix in the purple on the crease of my eye lid, then blended together and this created a smokey eye but with a difference, this palette is great for summer, if you just want to use the gold colour as a base, or go all out and add a bit of the golden purple.
Clarins; 'Palette Maquillage', make-up palette (£30.00)
The packaging for this palette is gorgeous, a mirrored gold case makes it look that bit more classy (can an eye shadow palette be classy?). This palette also contains a blush in the colour 05 rose wood, which is a dark peachy pink colour and is great for a natural summery look. The two eye shadows are 16 pink frost and 23 silver green. Again these colours are so well pigmented on the eyes and really do brighten up the eye. The pink frost is a subtle pale pink colour and really does sit well on the base of the eye, and the silver green creates the perfect subtle smokey eye. I adore the greeny colour because it looks great in winter and in summer. This is one of my favourite palettes yet, and I think it is a must have in the make up bag.
Benefit; 'Peek-A-Bright Eyes...' (£24.50)
I have always been a favourite of Benefit's blush, so I thought I would try out their eye kit and I was pleasantly surprised. This kit is supposed to brighten up your whole eye look, and it did exactly that!! The kit contains a contour and liner brush and a concealer brush, it has the famous eye bright in there and 3 eye shadow colours, a buff base colour, a warm chocolate colour and a pearly pink highlighting colour. These again are very high pigmented colours which go really well together to create any eye look you want, a natural look, a smokey eye look and a subtle summery look. This palette ticks all these boxes. The eye brightener is perfect in the morning but unfortunately creases throughout the day but as long as you keep blending through the day you will be fine!
Guerlain; 'Ombre Eclat' (£36.00)
This palette came out in the Christmas collection, and is almost sold out everywhere, but if you search hard enough you will find this beauty! This is my all time favourite eye shadow palette ever! The packaging is literally perfect, it comes in a little velvet sleeve to put the palette in and the palette is a lovely metallic rose gold colour. This eye shadows feel exactly like velvet and blend on the eye so nicely. I got the palette colour 'Bal De Minuit 407' which consists of a white gold, pale pink, metallic taupe and cool chocolate brown. These are highly pigmented and the colours mix well together in any occasion. This is my go to palette, although this is a very expensive palette but it really is worth the money, I will keep this forever!
I understand these eye shadow palettes are high end, and expensive but I do believe every girl deserves one beautiful palette in their make up which will last them a life time!
