LIFE IN PICTURES: I'VE CUT MY HAIR!

Yes, I did it. I cut my hair. I no longer have ombre hair which makes me a bit sad but knowing me it'll probably be back when my hair grows back a little. I wasn't very happy about cutting my hair in the first place, I liked them long but the bad condition of my hair made me do it. And now I'm glad it did as I absolutely love my new haircut!

As for the non-hairy part of my life, I came back home from Ireland last week so I've been spending a massive amount of time at the airport which wasn't that bad since I had Milky Way Magic Stars with me, there has also been some flying and reuniting with family and friends. I've also bought some new make-up treats which involved the most beautiful Sleek palette (more here) and my first ever MAC lipstick! In my free time I've watched a lot of Gilmore Girls aka the best TV show ever episodes and spent far too much time playing Flappy Bird. I swear, this game is the most annoying and addictive game I've ever played. Also, even though it's already February, this week I've seen snow for the first time this year (which lasted only one day but it was there, I promise)!   What have you been up to lately?

NEW IN: SLEEK I-DIVINE "GARDEN OF EDEN" PALETTE + SWATCHES

I've been wanting to get this palette since I first came across it in the Internet. Especially because I've been loving green smoky eye make up lately but also because this palette is perfect for green/hazel eyes like mine. The Sleek "Garden of Eden" palette consists of twelve mineral based eye shadows. The shades are all nature inspired, there are various purples, natural browns and earthy greens. Purple is great for making green/hazel eyes pop and look more dramatic and browns and greens will be perfect for the natural every-day look. I am super excited to try this palette!

My favourites are definitely going to be Tree Of Life, Python, Fauna and Gates of Eden. Probably because they're the most pigmented shadows in the palette. I've already noticed that Forbidden and Entwined are the least pigmented shadows so I think it will be difficult to get the colour out of them but I will try my best. I'm pretty sure I'll be using this palette (only) for the rest of the month, I'm totally in love with it! 

Gates of Eden, Eve's Kiss, Paradise on Earth, Python, Forbidden, Flora

Entwined, Adam's Apple, Fig, Evergreen, Fauna, Tree of Life

Have you already got your hands on this new Sleek palette? What do you think?

PERFECT EYE SHADOW PALETTES WISHLIST

I've been really loving using neutral eye shadows lately. Actually "lately" is not really a good word here, I've been using them since I learned what eye shadows are and how to use them. I don't really like colourful or full of glitter eye make-up although I have recently started using some more colours such as green or purple. Anyway, browns and grays are and will always be the shades I feel more comfortable with. I've done some research and found seven perfect neutral eye shadow palettes.

The Balm NUDE ‘tude Eyeshadow Palette: The palette is filled with 12 amazing neutral shadows. There are some mattes as well as shimmers and highlighters. What I really like about it is that it has some bold shadows that will help create a definite eye make up.

Clarins The Essentials Eye Make-up Palette Collector Edition: Unfortunately it was only a limited edition and I don't know if it might still be found in the shops but oh boy, this palette is amazing. It consists of 10 eye shadows, all beige, brown or taupe. It's the perfect palette for people who like to stay neutral (like me!).

TOO FACED The Chocolate Bar Eye Palette: Another palette filled with neutral mattes and shimmers but what's even better about this one is that all eye shadows are scented with real chocolate. I've never known who needs their make-up to be scented like food until I tried the Bourjois bronzing powder. That's when I understood.

BOBBI BROWN Old Hollywood Eye Palette: This palette consists of nine neutral eye shadows but what's great about it is that it's filled with warm and cold shadows. It can be used to create a brown warm smoky eye or a classic black smoky eye.

SEPHORA COLLECTION Event Entry Palette: This palette for me is a cheaper version of the Bobbi Brown Old Hollywood palette. It also consists of warm and cold neutral shadows. It's also in a pocket size so that it can be used everywhere. Perfect for travelling!

Sleek Make Up Garden of Eden Palette: Now this is the palette I know I'm going to buy very very soon. It's perfect for the green/hazel colour of my eyes. It has some greens, browns and purples. Still neutral but a little bit out of my comfort zone, exactly what I need!

SMASHBOX Full Exposure Palette: The last palette I would totally love to magically appear in my make-up collection is the Full Exposure Palette by Smashbox. It's also filled with warm and cold shimmers and mattes. What I really like about this one is how organised it is. Shimmers on top, mattes on the bottom. I think this might be my inner OCD speaking here...

Do you own any of these palettes? What do you think about it?
