Is anyone
superstitious out there?
In order to try to
alleviate some of the Friday 13th blues, I thought I would introduce
you to my new favourite eyeshadow palette (for now, at least!).
I love neutral
eyeshadows. They’re just so easy to wear – either just as a wash of colour over
the lids for the daytime, or built up into a smoky eye for the evening.
This 12-shade palette
has got a great mix of work-appropriate as well as more dramatic shades. I feel
as though this leans slightly warmer than other palettes I’ve got, but
cool-toned ladies will be able to work with this too (unlike the Naked
palette…!). The finishes are all satin-shimmer, so if you’re after some matte
shades this isn’t the one for you. However, none of them venture into
disco-glitterball territory so ladies of all ages and dispositions can wear
this with pride (although I personally don’t subscribe to the whole
“older-ladies-can’t-wear-shimmer” mindset – who made that one up?!).
I have taken to
wearing one of the lighter shades all over the lid during the daytime, as it
takes about five seconds to apply (more time in bed!) but the subtle shimmer
really gives your eyes a boost, and makes them look more awake and twinkly.
Some of the darker
shades would benefit from being applied over a primer as they do crease a
little, but to be honest I tend not to bother on a day-to-day basis.
There are loads of
these in the MUA store. I’ve currently got my eye on the Undressed
palette (‘cos a girl can never have too many neutrals, yano?). Apparently it’s
a fabulous dupe for the Naked palette; although I already own Naked I would
be interested to see what the differences are. I also quite like the look of the Glamour
Days palette, it seems to have some interesting purply-colour shades I’d love to
try. And for a mere £4.00 each, I think this is an addiction I can afford to
fuel….!
Anyway, let’s have a
look at Heaven and Earth:

Are there any others
