The Lo Down - NYX Custom Pro Palette

Hey Guys and Dolls,

I like finding nice and affordable eyeshadow palettes, sometimes it's almost impossible to afford the more highend alternative. I recently saw the NYX Cusom Pro palette as my friend Megan had bought one so I had to pick one up myself and I'm so glad I did. I got mine on the Boots.ie website and I always find that the service is really good whenever I've used it anyways.

I purchased the shade J'adore and Sex Kitten which are two beautiful neutral shadows that I really like. Don't you know I always go for neutral shadows I wouldn't wear anything different. This palette doesn't contain a mirror which doesn't really bother me but I wish they had the shade names on the bottom of the shadow itself, there's none to be seen though. Both eyeshadows are very pigmented and I love them alot. I've been using them quite a bit to achieve a simple eye look and the looks always turn out really nice I might purchase a darker shade the next time I make a purchase online which will probably be sooner than you think.

The palette itself costs €5 and then each individual eyeshadow costs €5 which isn't too bad at all when you consider highend palettes. I've been really impressed with this palette and I'm definitely going to pick up another one soon as there are so many shadows that I want.

Revlon Custom Eyes Palette

I love this palette!! I bought it a little over a week ago and it has come in handy. The sturdy palette contains five shades which is perfect for when your in work or on the go.

There are 6 palettes to choose from each comes with four shadows and a liner. Naturally Glamourous is the palette I picked. It has gorgeous brown neutral colours which I love. They create a natural look which would look great for day or night.

I've been using it so much lately for a daytime look for work. All the shadows are very pigmented and blend effortlessly. A diagram on the back of the palette shows you where all the shades should go on your eye. There is also a bar with numbers that corresponds to each eyeshadow so it's hassle free.

Here are some swatches of the palette...

I can see myself getting more of these palettes as I've been so impressed with this one. All the shadows are super pigmented. This would be perfect to bring on holidays instead of bringing big bulky palettes that may take up extra space in your bag.

What do you think of the Revlon Custom Eyes Palette??

Little Bits for my Holiday!!

With only nine days to go until my holiday, when I was out shopping with my mom I decided to pick up some stuff I may need while I'm away.

As I'm only going to Barcelona for five days I'm only bringing carry on luggage.  Being limited to what I can put in my bag I decided to hit Boots to pick up some travel size products. I have everything sorted for my holiday at this stage so I was delighted to get these bits out of the way.

Boots have a offer at the moment on travel sizes. If you buy five products you get the cheapest one free. This may not seem like the best offer but at the end of the day every little counts.

This is what I picked up....

Glad Hair Day Shampoo, Glad Hair Day Conditioner and Clean On Me Shower Gel

(All Soap & Glory)

I've used two of the above products before, Glad Hair Day Shampoo and Clean On Me Shower Gel. I got them in a Soap & Glory Christmas gift set and I can remember really liking them both. I also picked up a mini scrub and body butter from this brand which you can see in my last haul. Have you used Glad Hair Day Conditioner? What are your thoughts?

Charles Worthington Frizz Free Smoothing Creme

I haven't tried any Charles Worthington products before so i don't know what to expect. I have extremely frizzy hair which goes out of control. I'm hoping this product works wonders.

When I was at the till I was given a €7.50 off No7 voucher. I love getting these and always pick up a few products that I wouldn't usually buy. My mom treated me to the following goodies I got from No7.

No7 Lash Adapt Mascara and No7 Stay Perfect Eyeshadow Palette in Good Earth

I've heard such good things about No7's Lash Adapt mascara. I really can't wait to try it out. I've used a few No7 mascaras and I've always been impressed with them.

Before I left Boots, I spotted this Revlon eyeshadow palette. I hadn't seen it before so it must of been relatively new in. I fell in love with it right away.

Revlon Custom Eyes Palette in Naturally Glamourous


This palette contains all neutral colours and I've been using it daily. I love it and I'll be doing a review very soon.


Would you girls like to see a "What's in my Travel Bag?" post before I go on holidays??
