When it comes to eyeshadow palettes, I have a serious problem. When I see a new palette release, there is like a switch goes off inside me and I am not right until I buy it! It is actually an illness! As a result, I am very picky as to what I want from a palette. For me, if a palette is to be a hit, it must have a good selection of colours that you can create a number of looks from. There is nothing worse than having a palette where the shadows just don’t work all that well…
Ok, so there is no denying, each time Urban Decay announces the release of a new palette, the internet, or at least the beauty addicts online, lose their minds!

For me, this is love! This palette was quite literally made for my eyes!! At this stage,…

This summer saw the launch of another new palette onto the market, as Ireland’s sweetheart, Pippa O’Connor, teamed up with the Irish brush company Blank Canvas Cosmetics, to create this multi functional eye and face palette that has the beauty world in a frenzy. With glowing reviews all over the internet, I decided it was time I not only gave the palette a spin, but shared my thoughts on whether the palette lives up to the hype that surrounds it. On first glance the Pippa Palette looks really beautiful. It comes in a heavy-duty cardboard pink palette, with a…
Urban Decay are real leaders when it comes to all things palettes. You would be hard pushed to find a lady who doesn’t own at least one of the Naked palettes. Once you mention the words Urban Decay and naked, our ears are sure to prick up and take notice.

It was met with mixed feelings from many the Naked lover, as people claimed it was far too like the original Naked basics palette and while yes they are similar, the Naked 2…
