As you can tell from the title, this post will be about palettes. I've been drooling over these for a while and finally caved...
NYX Dream Catcher Palette in Dusk Till Dawn
I'm not going to lie, this was a bit of an impulse buy. I saw this palette on Ulta's website before I left and kind of forgot about it until we stopped at Target. It was our last day and I was having mixed emotions about spending money. On one hand, we had all already spent a lot of money and didn't want to spend anymore, but on the other hand, we wanted to buy whatever we could because most things are noticeably cheaper in America. This palette was only $14.95USD. That's crazy cheap for a palette, especially one with 10 different shades. Each individual pot is rather large as well. Definitely a must have palette for those on a budget.
Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette
I have heard a number of YouTubers talk about Too Faced's Chocolate Bar palette but not much about their other palettes. I like the Chocolate Bar one but it looks rather large and has a number of colours that I probably wouldn't use. I wanted to try some of Too Faced products but I wasn't sure what to try. I stumbled across this palette on Sephora's site and swatched it a couple times in store. I really liked it but here in Canada, it costs $45. In the states I think it was around $34. It's cheaper and I would pay less tax on it, almost less than half. Because of that, I decided to just go ahead and get it. I had been eyeing it for a while, and the colours are very wearable. You can easily go from a day look to a night look with this palette. I used this the next day and ended up convincing one of my friends to pick one up the next time we went to the mall. I definitely want to get my hands on the Boudoir Eyes palette as well!
Urban Decay's Naked 2 Palette
This was the number one makeup product I wanted to get while on this trip. I have been wanting this for months now and I just couldn't get myself to shell over the hefty $64. Luckily, this palette is $54 in the states. It's still expensive but more affordable than if I were to get it back home. I love it so much, I haven't even used it yet and I've been back for around 2 weeks now. I just don't want to ruin it! This probably sounds bad, but I kind of want to get Naked 3 as well. All these palettes and I still want more... Browns are my go-to for eyeshadow, but I have to say, I'm definitely digging the pink shades at the moment.
As I start to use these palettes more often, I'm hoping I'll be able to form an unbiased opinion on them and come up with a couple reviews. Some of these palettes are a big investment and I want to make sure you get all the information and opinions you can get before making the investment. I know I always google reviews on products that I'm interested in buying, but am hesitant on spending the money. It's nice to hear what people have to say about a product that they have used as opposed to a brand's biased description of their product. I find reviews are real and less sugar coded.
Are you a palette fanatic? What's your favourite palette?
