My Favourite Eyeshadow Palettes

I love wearing eyeshadow and I'm always keen to try out new colours but find it difficult to choose colours that go well together. I love using a palette because all the colours compliment eachother so nicely!

TOPSHOP SMOKEY EYE PALETTE; 'GOLDEN AURA'

£12

I use this almost everyday and it's brilliant for creating a natural smokey eye. I love the packaging, it's really cute and there's a good sized mirror as well. It also comes with an applicator which is useful too.

The colours are really warm and natural. I use the two lightest colours most days but the darker colours could also be worn during the day too. They're fairly pigmented but have to be built up a bit. They're quite shimmery and the colours complement eachother really nicely. I sometimes use the colours as an eyeliner which works well. However, the lightest colours are not very pigmented and the colour is not particularly long lasting but overall this is a brilliant palette! 

SOAP & GLORY LID STUFF; "SMOKEY DOKEY"

£10

I use this palette less often than the Topshop one because I think it's better for the evening or if your going out. Having said that, I do think it is more pigmented and long lasting. There are also 2 other palettes with different colours that I want to try out. I love Soap & Glory packaging and I think that it's a reasonable price given the quality of the product. 

The colours in this palette are so pretty and are perfect for a smokey eye. The two lightest colours are really shimmery whereas 'smokin' is a matte colour. I also love the glitter in the darkest shade 'black gold'. I also sometimes use the darker colours as an eyeliner which also creates a really nice effect. 

However, I do feel like the colour 'black gold' looks better in the palette as not much of the glitter actually transfers onto my eye.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed this!

Clothes Haul

I went shopping in Oxford Street a few weeks ago with a friend and thought that doing a blog on the things I bought would be a good place to start!

I needed a few things for summer so I ended up buying two tops and kimono type thing.

First stop was Topshop where I bought this pale blue cami.

£18, Topshop

Although I felt it was a bit pricey it hangs really nicely and I love the colour (there were other colours available). The material is thin and soft so it's perfect for summer and the beach! I also love the shape of the neckline, although it does fall quite low.

After that we hit Urban Outfitters and I bought a really pretty kimono in the sale.

£20, Urban Outfitters

I love the pattern on the fabric and the feel and shape of it. It's also quite versatile as I think it can be worn in Spring/Summer/Autumn and also can be casual or more dressy depending on what you wear it with. 

Finally, we went to Primark. It's so cheap I find it impossible to come out empty handed! I'm afraid I've lost the receipt and I can't remember how much this was but it was around £6/£8.

Primark

I really like the colour of this shirt. I feel like it could fit a bit better on the front but I like the small features like the gold buttons, lace detail and the sheer back. 

Thank you for reading my first proper post!
