Review the Primark palette.

 The palette packaging/The name of the palette/The shadows/The applicator.
So a few weeks ago i was telling you about my Primark palette and I've decided it's time for a review. As you can see there's eight shadows, two matte and six glitter pigmented. I have used all the colours and i must say i prefer the glitter pigmented to the matte just because i feel the matte takes many applications before it shows. The shadows are all very natural colours and i feel could be pulled off on a day to day bases. I do use the matte shadows much more just because they're not to much colour wise which the glitter could be depending on how much you use. I do rate the colour choice highly because they are colours you could wear for any occasion whether that be work/college/school or meeting with friends etc.
For £2.50 that's absolutely nothing for the quality you get. The only problem with quality i have is the gold spots on the outside of the packaging rub off and the palette can end up looking quite tacky. But it does look really chic and stylish to start with and it's really compact so you could take it in your bag if you really wanted to. The palette also comes with an applicator with a brush one end and an eyeshadow sponge applicator the other. There is also a mirror on the opposing side of the shadows which is always useful. I often use the mirror as my main mirror to get ready with because again it's dead compact.
So for £2.50 i would definitely recommend this palette, it's definitely worth it and is full of quality and the fact it's from Primark, i don't think you'd know if you didn't see the name on the lid.
That was just a quick review my first ever review to date and I'll definitely do more in the future.

My daily make up routine.

The make up i used/The end result. So i decided to do a post about my daily make up routine, just because being back at college puts me back into a routine and my daily make up has changed over the holidays. If someone told me a couple of years ago this would be my make up routine i would of laughed in their face because back then i was at school and i loved a bright eye shadow and i would of tried any new product and spend a ridicolous amount on products that didn't suit me, but i still wore them anyway. Now i've found a routine i'm happy with and doesn't consist of me getting up super early to get ready i also don't spend a ridicolous amount of money on products i won't get use from. By far my favourite part of any day is getting ready in the morning it always has been and i think it always will be. I'm going to list the products i use and in what order i use them just because it makes everything easier. -First things first is Spa exfoliating wipes. Which cleanses, tones and moisturises all in one go. Dead simple. -Next i apply Astral original moisturiser. I think this works well with the wipes and my foundation but no with all foundations because it's quite oily so i'd advice to use more with thicker foundations. -Then it's foundation time. For foundation i use Collection 2000 colour match foundation in Dark 6. (I only use this foundation when i have fake tan on.) -(Without fake tan) I use Witch anti-blemish tinted moisturiser in shade 02 medium. -For concealer i use MUA cover and conceal in Almond. -Because i suffer with quite bad darkenss under the eyes i also use another concealer on top which is Lizzie hide and correct conealer in Dark. -I never used to use face powder but i use this religiously just because it helps make my make up last longer and it's the Collection 2000 shine away compact powder in 3 DEEP. -I'm not completely happy with my bronzer but the one i've been using recently is the MUA bronzer in shade 1. -Blusher. I stopped using blusher for like the past 4 months but in the past couple of days i've been using the MUA blusher in shade 5 and i'm actually quite liking it. -So that's what i call my base make up done, then i move onto my eyebrows. Again i've only been using this product for like a month because i never really used to fill my brows in but now i'm hooked. I use the Beauty uk High brow-Eyebrow kit. It only comes in one shade and inside there's 3 colours and 1 wax. For my brows i use the brown powder. -I then apply the Porefessional by Benefit onto my eye lid and take it right up to my eyebrow. I blend it using my finger to make sure no excess is left. -I also apply a very small amount of the Porefessional by Benefit onto my lips just to make my lipstick last longer. (only if i'm wearing lipstick.) -I then take the lightest colour (ment for blondes) from my Beauty uk High brow-Eyebrow kit and apply it all over my lid to the crease with a fluffy brush. Then i blend it out with a blending brush into the crease. -I have a werid a habbit of applying Lipstick before Mascara just because Mascara always takes me the longest. So now i apply my Lipstick, Which today is MUA Lipstick in Juicy shade 15. I don't smother my lips in this, i just pat it onto my lips because it looks more natural. -I now curl my lashes. -Finally i apply mascara. Which i usually mix up somedays i wear brown others it's black. Today it's Constance Carroll Lots of lashes macara which specialises in lengthening and adding volume in 1 Black. -I again curl my lashes now (it honestly does make such a diffrence.) (Wait for the Mascara to dry first though.) -I now brush over my lashes using the Benefit Bad gal lash Mascara. Just to add extra volume and space out my lashes because it's a nice thick wand. That's my daily make up routine. I hope you found it useful in any way. I know it was quite a long post and i apologise for that but i wanted to include everything.
