My newest pin-up palette!

Hello everyone! I couldn't be more excited to show you my newest pin-up palette. And when I say pin-up palette, I do really mean pin-up palette. 

This is the "Nude 'tude" palette by The Balm, which holds 12 colours. The special/fun thing about this palette is that there are six pin-up girls in there that have their private parts hidden with eyeshadow. Need to say more? Probably not!

I knew that this palette existed, but I've looked for it quite a while, yet I could never find it. It was last week when I was on a trip with school to the capitol of my city, that I saw this beauty. My heart almost jumped out of my chest! 

When I saw the price - €35, which is almost $50 - I doubted a little bit but at thesame time I knew that I would regret not buying this from the minute I was going back home.

This is what the palette looks like when you open it. Doesn't it just make you melt? The pigmentation of these eyeshadows is great as well! I must admit that the black colour in this palette is the only palette in my whole collection that is so pigmented. And I do have quite a big collection so that means something!

 

Here are all the girls in detail!

This one is my favourite. Such pretty colours and also, I think this pin-up girl is the most beautiful one. Well no, she just speaks to me the most!

This Saterday I had a party and I decided to use the colours from the palette for this look. I used the white, called "Sassy", the browns called "Sultry" and "Sophisticated" and the black eyeshadow called "Serious". I also used false lashes by Ardell in nr. 109. The liquid eyeliner and mascara that I used are by Essence.

 

I'm so excited about this palette. I love it and I will be using it for sure!

I'm very happy I got it!

Thanks for reading!

Catrice absolute nude palette review!

Hello sweeties! Thanks for tuning in again today!
As you probably know if you read this blog often, I like to try out new palettes. Coloured palettes, but neutral palettes I like the most.
Quite a while ago I got a new everyday neutral palette but I never wrote about it. It is what I use to create my daily looks though. I'm going to review it for you today.

 

So this is how my palette looks, I think it looks fabulous! It reminds me of the Urban Decay naked palette. It holds six nude colours.

Here are the swatches! The first picture is how the colours look with natural light and the second picture is how they look with flash.

The pigmentation could have been a little bit better. I don't have problems with getting the colours on my eyelid though. Easy to apply, build up and blend, no fall out.

Aside from the remark that the pigmentation could have been a little bit better (but hey, what am I actually doing, comparing a $5 to MAC quality), I have no other remarks. I do really like this palette. It holds colours for any occasion and any kind of look, love it! I already want to get a second one, just in case I hit pan on one of the colours soon.

I would recommend this palette to everyone who is just starting out with makeup or to girls who just really like the neutral look on their face. This palette is really nice ànd affordable. 

Have a great day!
