Perfect Palette Tag

I thought I'd do a tag seeing as I'm hoarding eyeshadow palettes like they're going out of fashion... 

The questions:

1. Best Packaging
2. Best Colour Payoff
3. Most Versatile
4. Best for Travelling
5. Biggest Regret
6. Best Colour Names
7. Least Used
8. Most Used
9. Most Loved
10. Desert Island


1. Best Packaging


This had to go to the beautiful Urban Decay Vice 3. Look at it! It's slim, shiny, has a magnetic closure and a giant mirror, what more do you need!?


2. Best Colour Payoff


Urban Decay again with the Electric Pressed Pigment Palette. Because these are pressed pigments they have the best payoff EVER.


3. Most Versatile


I chose the Sugarpill Burning Heart palette as my most versatile. I use it for crazy colourful looks or I mix the warm colours with neutrals to make something more "wearable".


4. Best for Travelling

You can tell this is an instagram photo, lul. 

This is the MAC Burgundy x 9 palette. I don't travel, but if I did this is what I would take. It's teeny so won't take up much space and you still have a decent range of colours.


5. Biggest Regret


This is the Illamasqua Multi Facet Palette in Aura. This retailed for £45!!!!!!!!! I got mine in the sale just after Christmas and paid about £12 ish. Although it was a bargain, it's the palette I regret because I just don't use it. I don't get along with the cream products and I think the eyeshadows are a bit of a strange selection. 


6. Best Colour Names


Urban Decay again, are we surprised?
Pulp Fiction is one of my favourite films. I know all of the "path of the righteous man" Samuel L Jackson speech off by heart, however sad that may be. I can't use these shadows without thinking of Samuel L Jackson, which automatically make them the best names ever.


7. Least Used


I was over the frigging moon when I found the elusive VICE LTD online from Selfridges. After hearing rumours this was super duper limited edition I snapped it up quicker than you can say 'Urban Decay'. I got it in about October/November last year and I've probably used it twice. It's now June. Again I think this is an odd combination of colours for a palette as large as this. They're all quite dull colours that you need to pair with something brighter to make anything exciting. I want to use and love this palette but the colours don't really inspire me.


8. Most Used


Onto a happier note now, featuring another Urban Decay product. This is the Naked 2 Basics. You can't really tell from the photo but this baby has seen some serious use. 


9. Most Loved


There will always be a place in my heart for the Urban Decay Vice 2. This was my first more expensive piece of makeup and I blame my palette obsession entirely on the Vice 2. I haven't used it for a while, and getting it out to photograph has reaffirmed my love. This guy will be coming out more in the future.


10. Desert Island


After the obvious concerns of food and water, who doesn't need perfect eyeshadow on a desert island? This is the Urban Decay Vice 3 again. This guy is so so so so so so so so beautiful. This palette pretty much does the work for you, the colours are laid out in little families so you don't even have to think before shoving them on your eyes. 80% of these shadows are shimmery so would look fab in a desert sun, although I won't be leaving the shade, what with my ginger skin.


And there we have it. Writing this post has helped me rediscover some little gems hiding in my makeup stash and I've already been delving back into my Vice 2 palette.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my picks, if you have any suggestions of other tags you'd like to see please leave me a comment and thank you for stopping by :D
