I love collecting eyeshadow palettes. As I typed that, I inwardly cringed because I only have a few palettes! However, this is because I manage to persuade myself whilst I am shopping in Boots or Superdrug that I don't need them and that I need to use my other palettes more before I can justify buying more. Saying this, I still want to share with you the palettes that I do own and what I think of them :).
The smallest palette I own is a quad from Avon in the colour 'Stone Taupes'. I love the shades in this as well as the fact that the colours are numbered therefore showing you which shade to apply first. It also has a mirror so it is amazing for travel especially as it is so small.
I own one palette from MUA which has 12 shades and is called 'Heaven and Earth'. I like the nearly all of the shades in this palette however I think compared to some other eyeshadows, they need a lot more product to be applied to get the same effect. As the price of these palettes are £4, you expect them to not be as good as palettes like Urban Decay or Too faced. For the price, I think they are amazing and you can still get a really nice look with the shades but it just takes a little longer. It would be great if you are just getting in to make up because it is really cheap!
I have one palette from Sleek which also has 12 shades and is called 'Storm'. I like most of these shades however I don't think I would use the green and blue colours because I love neutrals and blues and greens go a bit out of my comfort zone. I think this palette is a good all round palette and would be great if you wanted to start getting in to make up, especially as it is only £7.99.
The biggest palette I own is the 100-piece eyeshadow palette from Elf. It has a huge range of colours and I think when I bought it, it was on offer for £5 which was a total bargain! It has so many beautiful colours in and some more 'out-there' colours for when you are experimenting or feeling brave. However as it is so big it is not the best for travel! I would recommend this product if you like to experiment or you like doing make up on others.
My final palette is Urban Decay's Naked 2. I was given this as a present by two of my friends. I love all of the shades in this palette and I love the brush which comes with it. Usually the applicators which come with eyeshadow palettes, I find, are useless however with this I use the brush all of the time. The palette costs £38 so it is not cheap but if you love make up and can afford it, then I really recommend it as the eyeshadows are amazing. I think this is the best palette for colour pay-off.
