Benefit World Famous Neutrals- Most Glamorous Nudes Ever

I recently got the Benefit World Famous Neutrals- Most Glamorous Nudes Ever (can I just say that that is the longest name ever). It comes with 2 cream eyeshadows and 4 powder eyeshadows. Both formulas are really nice and long wearing and very easy to work with.

I do have a few gripes with the packaging though it is incredibly thick and bulky and I think that is due to the fact that they had to put cream eyeshadows in there and when you lift the top of the box it won't stay open which is very annoying. The packaging is very cute though but the size makes it hard to store but you can take the creams out and store somewhere out and then take out the powders as shown in the pictures below but I don't know how you would store them elsewhere as they wouldn't be protected. You can use the box for storage when all the colours are gone though so that is nice.

I love all of the colours my favourite cream would be My Two Cents and my favourite powder would be It's Complicated. I think that it is very easy to create nice looks that you can take from day to night. And if you are in a rush just apply one of the cream shadows and you are out the door!

Tarte Rainforest After Dark Palette

Today I will be reviewing the Tarte Rainforest After Dark Palette:

This palette was limited edition but I think that it is still available on amazon.
It is a beautiful palette that includes 6 eyeshadows, a highlighter and a bronzer. They have the amazonian clay formula which is so lovely and soft. One thing that I would say is that they could have just done a bronzer and not a transition colour because they are basically the same colour anyway but I guess beginners wouldn't think of using bronzer as an eyeshadow so that is most likely why they kept it.
This is my favourite palette to take on holiday as all you really need to take with it is mascara and foundation which is great!
I love the eyeshadow colours and my favourites would be the purple (plum away with me) and the gold (up to no gold).  The blush colour is a beautiful natural colour
The packaging is also adorable. It is round with like a wood look to it and a snake with a purple gem on the front.


Eyeshadows L-R Bare to explore (you can't see it on my skin it is a standard beige)Make a Mauve, Plum Away with me, Up to No Gold, Tan-gled up in you, Don't Turn a Brown

Face products L-R Highlighter (champagne), Bronzer (Park Ave Princess) and Blush (Unleashed)
Overall this palette is amazing and I would definitely recommend this palette, especially if you travel a lot.

Stila Nouveau Natural Eye Shadow Palette


Today I am going to be reviewing the Stila Nouveau Natural Eye Shadow Palette.

I bought this a few weeks ago and have worn it so much. There is a wonderful mix of mattes and shimmers. The colours in here are neutrals and they are so pretty and you can make it a daytime look or a dark smoky look for a night out so it is incredibly versatile and another palette that would make a great beginners palette or a great addition to a makeup junkies collection.

There are 12 colours in this palette and the packaging is really nice and sleek and feels very luxurious. The only complaint that I have with the packaging is that the names of the colours are on the back and not under the colours which is a pain if you are a blogger but I don't think that the average person would care. 

My favourite colours in this palette are Kitten (which is Stila's famous colour and is in a lot of their palettes).  Instinct which is a lovely light colour which is a great lid colour or highlight, Jezebel which is a lovely shimmery copper colour and gilded gold which is a brown colour with gold shimmers. It also has some fantastic transistion colours. 

This palette has quickly become one of my favourite palettes and I am always happy with the looks I make up with it.

Top Row L-R: Kitten, Dune, Instinct
Second Row L-R: Wind, Individual, Desire
Third Row L-R: Wit, Jezebel, Understanding

Fourth Row: Coco, Gilded Gold, Java

This palette is super pigmented and the colours are super blend able. It is incredibly easy to think of different looks with this as there is a lot of variety even though it is a neutral palette

Thank you for reading hope that this has helped in someway. Please leave any comments or suggestions below. If there is anything you would like me to review please let me know!

Stila in the Garden Palette

Sorry this photo isn't the best!

Today I am going to review the Stila in The Garden Palette. I do like this palette but I don't use it as much as my other palettes because it lacks a lot of neutral colours. It has a lot of different shades of green and a beautiful blue and a beautiful purple shade. One of my favourite shades in this palette is the gorgeous gold called Honey. It has absolutely wonderful pigmentation and the packaging is great and the same as the Stila in the Light palette. It has a quote above the mirror which reads "a confident woman knows her inner beauty will captivate you and her eyes will mesmerise you". Which is such a true quote.

I love that even though it is a predominantly green palette it also have a few different shades but one thing it really lacks is a transition shade which is a pain because you have to pull in a single and I would rather just use everything from the palette.

First Half
Second Half


Top Row L-R: Rosette, Freesia, Bark, Breeze, Chinois

Bottom Row T-B: Nectar, Honey, Sage, Moss, Juniper
I also like that it comes with a book of different looks as this can be hard to figure out a look with as the colours are not neutrals.
