Hi my loves, 

I'm going to be completely honest about this little palette. 

As I eagerly awaited the reveal of each shade on facebook, I have to say at first I was one of those who were pretty disappointed. As a limited edition Olympics palette, I imagined bright, bold, reds, blues and greens. 

BUT, and it's a big but. I absolutely fell in love with it the moment I saw the swatches.

This palette of silvers, golds and rose golds is incredibly pigmented. One swipe and your eyelids will be bursting with colour. I was especially stunned by the strength of the gold shades. Usually you expect a pretty mediocre pay off with such colours, but these blew my mind. 

As with all MUA eyeshadows, these have brilliant staying power and if applied on top of a primer can be made even better. The shadows are creamy, smooth and apply like butter.

Along with all of  MUA's other palettes, this costs only £4 and can be purchased from their online store.
What do you guys think of this bright, bold palette?

Hi Lovelies!

This was another December Glossybox goody. This Blink+Go eyeshadow and blush palette is a full size product and retails for £14.95, you can purchase it here.

The packaging is simple, compact and easy to open, which is always a bonus for me! It also contains a mirror on the inside of the lid, which is great so if you're on the go. 

The palette contains 6 shades of eyeshadows and 2 blushes. The eyeshadows are very pigmented and s sparkly and the blushes are both very wearable shades, one being a light soft pink and the other is more of a peachy tone. 

I love all of the colours in this palette. I think the least wearable colour for me would be the green, although it would look amazing on the lower lash line teamed with a very simple upper lid and mascara.  Look out for a tutorial on that one! 

I'm excited to try the blushes as second to lipstick, it's my favourite beauty go to. 

Have any of you guys tried any of their mascaras? That's what's tempting me next from this company.
