88 palette review

Ebay 88 Warm Palette | Review

15:05

If you are like me and can't get enough of neutral eyeshadows - this ones for you! This little beauty is around £5 on ebay - yes you read it right, £5!!!

As for quality, i would give it ...hmmm, i would say 8/10 (with a primer) There are one or two shadows in this palette that do fall short (very sheer and a bit chalky) but with the amount of choice you get, you really don't notice very much! The shimmery ones are very pigmented and the matte whites, creams & peaches are so soft and lovely to work with! I literally could not fault this palette.

One thing that majorly impressed me was the fact the eyeshadows don't irritate my eyes! Trust me the struggle is real, i wear contact lenses and have very easily irritated eyes. As i don't believe this palette is hypoallergenic for being such a cheap product, i did have my doubts! I can literally wear my eye make-up all day and it doesn't bother me at all! 'SQUEE'

Not a fan of neutrals? No problem! There is literally a 88/120 palette for everyone, just pop '88 palette' into ebay and see what beautys come up!

Have fun!

Hello my beauts!

Halloween's just around the corner and I'm soooo excited! Not that i'm doing anything (boooo) i live in a small town where i still don't really know anyone, plus, nothing happens! Fail. May just get dressed up and watch Hocus Pocus! ha!

Halloween and Bonfire night are my two favourite events of the year!

Just to note this was on a very humid autumn day, no way can i wear sandals now i'd freeze my tootsies off!

Oh my holy potatoes! Ladies, feast your eyes on this amazing lookbook! I think i may have actually dribbled a little when i saw it! No, but seriously look at it!! I think this has got to be one of my favourite lookbooks....ever! I ~~want~~ NEED everything (including the location - where IS this magical place?) which isn't going to happen so i'm just going to stare at it.
