With all the controversy of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture palette so big at the moment I thought it would be a good idea to remember its sister palette, Modern Renaissance.. You've no doubt heard all your favourite bloggers and you tubers talking about it, and with good reason. 

 It features a gorgeous array of pink and red tones. It contains 10 matt shades and 4 shimmer shades. The mix of colour leaves for a gorgeous spring/summer eye look, with all the shades you would need in this one palette. For example for a quick running out the door look, I put 'Tempera' all over the lid and brow bone and they pick up 'Raw Sienna' and 'Burnt Orange' on a big fluffy blending brush and take it through the crease. To finish it off I just take a mix of those two shades on a pencil brush and place them on my lower lash line. 

The quality of these shadows is like nothing i've used before. They are so nicely pigmented that they just blend out with so little effort. The only down fall I've found with these shadows is that they do have a bit off fall out on the matt shades. This is definitely not a deal breaker for me, as the blendability and the pigmentation totally outweigh the fallout. 


If you're any way on the fence about buying this palette, I would definitely say go for it. Especially if you're just getting into makeup, these shades are just so easy to work with! I wouldn't let the fact that it's slightly brighter in colour scheme put you off at all. 

The palette retails for €53 and you can get it here here

PS... Nudes Eyeshadow Palette

Pennys' (primark in the rest of Europe) makeup and beauty range 'PS...' is becoming increasingly popular. Their brushes in particular have gained a lot of popularity, because they're really good quality at really, really good prices. 

Catrice Liquid Metal Eyeshadows

I've been admiring this range of shadows for a while now, and I got these two as a gift from my cousin I was delighted. The lighter shade 010 Look me in the ice is obviously the more wearable of the two, but the navy shade 110 Underworld Evolution is just stunning and I can't wait to find a way to use it. When used dry the shadows are a bit crumbly and are more like a sheer glitter, but when i spritzed some of my fuchsia makeup setting spray onto my brush and using the shadows wet, you achieve a much more pigmented look. 

Review: Essence EyeShadow Quattro

Hey Guys, so today I thought I would review my favorite eye shadow 'pallet'. Its The Essence eye shadow Quattro in 05 'To Die For'

Just a little overview of the Pallet 

The four colours in this pallet Consist of A light shimmey brow bone Highlight shade,A champagne all over lid colour, a shimmery light-ish brown, and an almost matt but still a tiny bit shimmery darker brown colour. 

Natural Collection Eye Shadow In 'Barley'

As for how I use these colours, I usually use them to do a light Gold toned smokey that works for either Day or night. I use the Champagne colour as an All over Lid colour. Once i have done this i layer the Natural collection eye shadow in 'Barley' (As Pictured Above). I use this shade to add a bit more sparkle to the overall look. Once I have done this I the take the lighter brown shade on a Fluffy blending brush and take it lightly threw the crease and then blend it outwards towards the outer the corner of the eye. Then I take the Darker brown shade on the same brush (I feel this helps it blend better) and just blend it lightly to the outer corner. I then Finish with a light line of the double ended eyeliner marker from Essence and a coat of 'City Curl' Mascara by NYC. 

Overall I quite like this Pallet. The Pigmentation is quite Good in most colours, the only one that I feel the Pigmentation could be improved on is in the lighter brown shade as it can become a bit harder to work with at times. Other than that I have no Real complaints about this pallet. I would Give it 9/10 for the simple reason that i felt that it wasn't 100% foolproof but for its very low price point I would defiantly look into getting one.
