L’Oreal La Palette Nude Rosé
Finally, drugstore brands are rolling out the nude eyeshadow palettes. I say finally, because high end brands have been churning them out left to right, while budget brands have been bringing out dupes to serve the masses. So to see affordable drugstore brands releasing their own, more original take on a neutral eye is not…

MUA Elysium eyeshadow palette
When I spotted this eyeshadow palette in the UK drugstore, I was a bit torn. “I already have so many neutral palettes”. “But you use theses type of colors all the time”. “This would be great for traveling or leaving at my parents’”. It all went through my head. Since Superdrug was doing a 3…

Chanel Tissé Fantaisie eyeshadow quad
High on my wishlist was a Chanel eyeshadow quad. In the past, it was never a must have in my book. The quality of swatches in store and that I saw online were never that good. For the hefty price you pay for this product, I never thought it worth the money, until last year.…

Catrice Absolute Rose eyeshadow palette
In last week’s Catrice shoplog I showed you the bits and pieces I picked up from Catrice’s renewed make up line for Spring/ Summer 2015. One of those pieces, was this eyeshadow palette. I’ve been reading many mixed reviews on this palette. Many people think these shadows aren’t intense enough. However, I feel, that it’s…

Inglot Freedom System palettes
A brand that people used to rave about but that hardly anyone talks about anymore is Inglot. And what a shame that is! Over the course of my make up addiction (because that’s what it is, let’s be honest), I gathered 4 of their magnificent freedom system palettes. And they are some of the best…

Charlotte Tilbury The Dolce Vita eyeshadow palette
A little while ago, a new exclusive brand was added to the beauty Valhalla that is Selfridges in London. The brand? Charlotte Tilbury. Started by MUA Charlotte Tilbury, the entire line focuses on wearable, easy to apply make up that can achieve anything from a day time to a night time look. When I was…

Make Up Revolution Flawless eyeshadow palette
Lately, I’ve seen many reviews pop up with products from a new budget brand: Make Up Revolution. I was lucky to find the stand of this brand at a Superdrug when I was in London last month. From everything that was on offer, I decided to pick up the Flawless 32 Ultra Professional eyeshadow palette.…

NARS duo eyeshadow: Isolde & Cordura
For the longest time my wishlist contained a high end brown eyeshadow palette. I had heard good things about Tom Ford’s eyeshadow palettes. I had held out until I went to Paris last summer to see them in the flesh first. And so I found myself in Galerie Lafayette in the heart of Paris, set…

MUA Matte Ever After eyeshadow palette (incl. comparison with Catrice matte palette)
Apart from the Catrice palette I showed you last week, I bought another matte, budgetproof eyeshadow palette a few weeks ago. This one is by MUA and plenty of people wanted to see how this eyeshadow palette holds up and especially how it compares to the Catrice one. And so here we are: with a…

Catrice Absolute Matt eyeshadow palette
Last week I showed you a massive drugstore make up shoplog. I asked what you’d like me to review first and many of you said the Catrice eyeshadow palette. And so here we are today with a review of this budget matte eyeshadow palette. Matte eyeshadows are hard to find in the drugstore and when…

Dior 5 Couleurs Couture Colours & Effects in Trafalgar
A casual stroll through my home town had a big impact on my make up collection. I was just browsing my local high end make up counter and found they had already stocked the fall 2014 limited edition collection by Dior. I had already seen a few sneak peeks here and there on the web,…

Marc Jacobs Style Eye-Con The Starlet
Buying luxury make up items is something I only do occasionally. Vacation time usually is the opportune moment of choice for any make up splurges. Being that I was a) in Paris on my most recent trip and b) Paris = Sephora, the situation couldn’t be more ideal. I had initially set my sights on…

Dior eyeshadow palettes
Back when I first got into make up, I was under the impression that make up was only good when it was super expensive. I thus veered mostly towards high end brands at first, and then I learned that budget brands might be as good and sometimes even better than their more expensive counterparts. That…

Urban Decay Vice 2
Talking about a long overdue post! These pictures have been sitting on the shelf for a while, but even though this isn’t the newest of palettes, I still thought I’d share the eyecandy. Later this week I’ll be doing a post showing some looks I created with this fabulous eyeshadow palette by Urban Decay. For…

Perfect palette tag
The most fun tag has been going round the Interwebs: The Perfect Palette Tag. And now there are two things I love most about make up: eyeshadows and palettes. Put those two together and you have a perfect addiction which I can’t get enough of. Curious to see which palettes I’ve picked as my favorite,…

New in: 5 pan Inglot freedom system palette
One thing I did during the past few weeks where I have had 4 weeks all to myself is shop. I didn’t shop all that much considering the time I had on my hands and so an actual haul isn’t in place. One item I purchased is special enough to get its own blog post…

Make up collection: large eyeshadow palettes
Remember a while ago I wrote a post saying I was done with posting all of my make up collection? Well turns out, I hadn’t. When browsing my computer I found some pictures which I took months ago of a part of my collection that has been ignored. Until now! And what a shame it…

Sephora + Pantone Universe review & summer make up look
If you read my shoplog which I posted on this blog earlier this week, you will have seen some of the make up I bought during my vacation in the United States and Canada. Some of the items I bought are part of the limited edition Sephora + Pantone Universe collection. As far as I…

Make Up Collection: Sleek Palettes
We are nearing the end of my showcasing my make up collection. I literally have only 2 more of these I can do and after that, I don’t have any more make up to show you. Today I will be showing you my Sleek I-Divine eyeshadow palettes. I have 7 of them and I love…

Make up collection: Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette
It’s here. It’s finally here! The other week the Urban Decay Naked 2 eyeshadow palette was introduced to the Dutch market without as much as a whisper. No one knew when or even if it would show up in our tiny country and then suddenly it did. So when I went to The Hague last…

Review: Sleek Nude Collection Au Natural I-Divine Palette (incl. surprise)
As you could read yesterday, I promised to do a review on the latest release by Sleek: the I-Divine palette from the Nude Collection. I have several Sleek palettes and love them. They are great quality eyeshadows at a reasonable price (I paid less than 10 euros for my palette) and they have a great…
