No matter what goes on in my life, what always makes me
happy when I wake up in the morning is putting my make-up on. The one thing I
really enjoy about the start of the day is putting on my moisturiser and then
my foundation and then working on my eye make-up.
I feel like the whole of the beauty community online goes
crazy for any new release from Anastasia Beverly Hills. When I saw their latest
eye shadow palette, I knew I had to add this into my collection, as the colours
are absolutely BEAUTIFUL.
Their last release, the prism palette I wasn’t crazy about
as the colours looked very similar to the subculture palette. But the soft glam
palette is full of a mix of bronze, metallic and iridescent finishes, which
were too pretty not to own…
What I really like about this palette is that it’s more of a
‘softer’ version of the Modern Renaissance Palette. I found the Modern
Renaissance Palette quite wearable but I think this palette is perfect for
everyday wear.
The shades in the palette are…Tempera, Glistening, Orange Soda, Rose Pink, Sultry, Bronze, Mulberry, Dusty Rose, Fairy, Burnt Orange, Sienna, Rustic, Cyprus Umber and Noir.
As you can see from the swatches, this palette is incredibly
pigmented and the colour pay off is so good. I like how every single shade in
this palette is wearable and perfect for daytime or evening wear. My favourite
shades from this side of the palette are Dusty Rose, Fairy and Sienna.
One thing that really stuck out to me with this palette are
the glimmer/metallic shades. I really love bronze, rose pink and sultry as they
are such stunning wearable shades.
I’ve worn the following shades for an eye look, orange soda
as a base, burnt orange in the crease, sienna and Cyprus umber mixed in the
outer corner and bronze for an added shimmer on top (trust me this looks
stunning!)
What do you think of this palette? Is this on your wish list?
It feels like an
awfully long time since I dedicated a blog post to an eye shadow palette but it
takes a REALLY GOOD eye shadow palette for me to dedicate a whole blog post to
it. I’ll tell you that for sure.
If there’s one sale which ALWAYS get me and that’s the
Beauty Bay sale and yesterday there was an email in my inbox for 30% off
everything! (What dreams are made of right?!) and I just had to put together a
post of all my favourite Beauty Bay items which I absolutely ADORE and well, items
which you NEED in your life, so here it goes…
Can you believe it’s November already? I definitely can’t. I
genuinely don’t even know where this year is going but now it’s November the
daylight hours are shorter and that means it’s closer to Christmas! So I thought
I’d do a gift guide for all you SUPER early Christmas shoppers.
