What's in my Z-Palettes?

 At the top of the palette is my favourite shadows palette is my favourite shadows from my Naked palettes. Now obviously this isn't all of them, some I used up completely, some broke when I depotted them, and some I keep in a box somewhere lol.

Naked Cosmetics Ivory Stack: Swatches & Review

Hi guys! So last week I attended IMATS in Sydney and had the most amazing time! The main thing I wanted from IMATS was the Naked Cosmetics Ivory Stack which is basically the CND Effects of eye shadows! I was so happy to pick this up for $25 a stack (I also picked up a glitter one) which is amazing considering on the Australian Naked Cosmetics website it retails for $80!

They come in six individual pots but if you remove the lid you can screw them into the bottom of another, thus making the 'stack' which saves a lot of space.

Anyway, I decided to swatch them for you because there isn't that many on the internet!

L-R: 1,2,3,4,5,6

As you can see these pigments are sheer "topcoats" to put over other colours to give them sparkle and more dimension.

Number one is the most disappointing for me as it is just a pearly white where as the others all have a colourful sparkle that really comes out when layered over a dark colour.

L-R: 2.3.4.5.6 over NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil In Black Bean

(excuse the lump of eye pencil in the middle of the gold lol a chunk broke off)

Overall I am inlove with this collection! My favourtie is the gold it is sooooo pretty, and my least favourite is number one, it's just a pearly white - a bit boring if you ask me.

I would completely recomend this collection to give sparkle to any look!

These eyeshadows are available in the Ivory stack or each shade is sold individually on the Australian and U.S Naked Cosmetics Website.

My Sugarpill Collection Swatches!

Hi guys, today I thought I'd show you my sugarpill collection. Why? because it's beautiful! 

 

 

I keep all my sugarpill eye shadows in a Large Z-Palette. I used a sugarpill sticker and black piece of card to cover the see through plastic because I feel it looks neater :) Sugarpill eyeshadows magnetise automatically to the z-palette.

 Top Row: Love +, Flamepoint, Acidberry, Tako, Poison Plum

Middle: Buttercupcake, Mochi, Afterparty, Midori

Bottom Row: Poison Plum (Yes I Have Two), Velocity, Dollypop

I got most of my eyeshadows in their palette form which you can see here, But a few were from compacts which are really easy to de-pot :)

Please excuse the nicks in some of the shadows, that's what happens when you re-arrange them with long nails lol

Sigma Paris Palette Review!

Hi guys, so first off this doesn't have anything to do with nails lol, I recently purchased the sigma paris palette and wanted to share my thoughts :) Now from what I understand, this palette was created by seven youtube 'beauty gurus'. I used to watch two of them and really liked them, but the others I'd never heard of..

Anyway, this palette contains eight eyeshadows, two blushes and a highlight shade all inspired by the beautiful city of paris. It also contains two fullsize sigma brushes the E55 Eye shadow brush and the F40 angled blush brush. This palette is limited edition and retails for $59 on sigmabeauty.com, however, if you go to any of the youtubers chanels they give you a code for $10 off so I paid $49.

 So this is the cover slip that comes over the palette, super cute!

Teal shimmer Nails & Makeup Look!

Hi guys, today I'm showing you my teal look aha, I'm going to a party tonight and thought I'd spice it up with my makeup, I did teal nails to match but they aren't as bright as my eyes lol

 Sorry for the cellphone pic! 

This is Essie Go Overboard (ONE COAT!) I freaking love this polish such a great and pigmented formula I'm not especially used to from Essie! I then did one coat of CND Sapphire Sparkle to sort of brighten it a bit!

 Here you can see the bright vibrancy of the makeup

Here it looks a bit toned down..

I used Too Faced shadow insurance, Urban decay foxy on my brow bone, I then used the new Sigma Paris Pallette for the rest of they eye. I have Lourve in the crease and outercorner as well as the bottom lashline, I used a tiny bit or Orsay in the centre and then Verseilles in the inner corner. I also used Eiffel to darken the crease slightly and a teeny bit on the lower lashline. I also have some no name false lashes just on the edges of my eye.
