Hi, my lovelies! 

A few days ago, I managed to sit down and film a couple of videos. I was hoping to get a New Years tutorial up, but since then I have been struck down with what I think is the norovirus. In the past 24 hours I have lost 4lbs. I know it's probably all water so I'm making sure to stay hydrated. I may feel awful but I love the fact that I have had the most sleep I've had in a long time. I no longer feel tired. 

As soon as this passes, I am hoping to film my resolutions video, along with my favourites of 2012. 

But, for now you can enjoy these. 

I, unfortunately, will not be partying tonight, but I hope you all have a fabulous New Years Eve!

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?
