PS. Love... 8 Shade Night Eyeshadow Palette Review

So, as some of you may know, from my last haul, I purchased Primark's PS. Love... 8 Shade Night Eyeshadow Palette.


 
At first, I was a little skeptical.....knowing Primark makeup isn't pricey but affordable, I didn't know how pigmented the colors would be. Although I have wanted this palette for a long time, I did hold back, but something told me one day, to just buy it......and so I did!
 

So inside the PS. Love... 8 Shade Night Eyeshadow Palette, there are five shimmery shades and three matt shades and they are all fairly dark and wearable for any occasion, which I like. My only issue with this palette, is that there are no names of what these colors are called, so that would be my only negative about this palette.


One color I have been wearing a lot, is the dark brown shimmery color, which is perfect for a easy, simple smoky eye, now that we are approaching Autumn (my favorite season, because of that's when my birthday is). It is a flattering shade which is less shimmery than MUA's Bronze and it is less obvious on your lids, hence why I have been loving this color.


The second color I have been using is this dark, intense shimmery plum color. Ok, guys.....let's just take a second.....I'm not even joking this color is fricking intense. It was only the other day I was experimenting with this color and it is so perfect for a strong, intense, dark, smoky eye.......like Primark took me by surprise there! This color will be truly worn throughout A/W season.

As for the other colors, I haven't actually tried and tested them out yet but hopefully you will see me do a few tutorials with them in the future.

If you have this palette and would like to give me your feedback on this product, then leave you comments below.

Current Drugstore Makeup Routine

A new week, a new blog!

Recently, I have been wearing this eye look, which is very flattering and appropriate for the end of the summer season, as the rain has begun to kick in.

 
So, there are two products, which I have yet to introduce to you in my next haul and these have been a great help to achieve the flattering, smoky eye look I was going for.
 

To begin this look, I primed my eyes using MUA's Pro-Base eye primer and then used MUA's matt shadow in the shade Chestnut as a transition color to help the second shadow last longer and stand out.

 
 
Over MUA's Chestnut, I then went in with MUA's Bronze and blended out well. Then I went back in with Chestnut just in the crease to achieve a smoky effect.



 
 
Then to finish off the look, I went in with MK's moisturizing lipstick in the shade Shell, which was perfect for this look!


And that's the look finished!
