With all
the festivities going on in December it can be hard to come up with different
makeup looks to for every occasion. It's always helpful to have a good eyeshade
palette that combines a mixture of neutral matte and shimmery products that can
carry you through the day and night makeup looks.
But, choosing one that
doesn't break your wallet, (especially in the Christmas time when we tend to
spend our money on others). Today I prepared a selection of affordable eyeshadow
palettes that found their way into my makeup stash, complete with swatches and
my opinion about each palette.
Essence
Winter? Wonderful! TE 01 All Ice On Me
First of
all, I simply have to say that I love this festive packaging. The snowflakes
look so pretty on the palette, while a transparent lid still allows you to see
all the shades inside. While the eyeshadows are not extremely pigmented, they
blend nicely and stay on the lids. The matte brown at the right side is a
gorgeous crease colours and I've been using it in most of my makeup looks. If
you like the look of this, keep your eyes peeled as the TE collection should
soon be available in the drugstores.

Makeup Death by Chocolate
Unlike many
people, I'm not the biggest fan of the packaging and don't really enjoy the
names, but the shades inside are absolutely gorgeous. Some of the shades are
gorgeously pigmented and have a beautiful metallic finish and make this pallet
an absolute must-have this season.
Essence All
About Roses
After the
Naked 3 palette started the obsession with rose-toned shadows, they appeared
everywhere. The shadows in here are incredible, the texture, pigmentation and bendability
are impeccable and the shades are simply gorgeous. If you like this kind of
shades, the palette is perfect for you.
Catrice
Chocolate Nudes
With a
gorgeous selection of chocolate inspired shades, this palette is bound to please
any chocoholic. Even though the lighter matte shades are not that pigmented,
the dark brown matte and the shimmers are beautiful and work great to create a
lovely nude look. If you are not very experimental with the colour on your
eyes, this is just what you need.
Avon 8-in-1
Nude Shimmer
Even though
this landed on my doorstep after I took pictures fort his blog post, I had to
include it in here. With such a cute starry design and the shade selection this
is such a festive palette. While the selection of the shades is pretty standard
(but still gorgeous), the yellow gold shade is one you don't really see often
and I love it. The finishes of the metallic shades are beautiful and the mattes
work greatly with them.
Which one
of the palettes in the post do you like the most? Which one would you choose
for your festive makeup?
See you
tomorrow!
Rawr,
your Beautysaur
