Travel Friendly Palettes


I am a girl who loves a good makeup palette, whether it's eyeshadows or a bronzing/blush palette I love them all! So I thought I would share my favourite travel friendly palettes as I have so many palettes I thought this would be an interesting read for those who want to find easier to travel around with makeup, which can just be popped in your handbag and won't take up to much space!

I will leave links to all of these palettes below if you want to check them out!

So the palettes I have chosen to feature in this post are:
Tanya Burr Hollywood Palette - here

Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics Palette - here

Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Palette - here

Mac quad (made myself) -  
Omega - here
Woodwinked - here
Palette (quad) -  here

Below is a photo I took of all the palettes in natural lighting so this is how they look, and they look as true to colour as I could possibly get them too. 

Tanya Burr Hollywood Palette - 
This palette is perfect for travelling, I have only tried this palette out of all of Tanya's quad palettes, and the colours are absolutely stunning! I love the shade 'gold coin' it's so pretty and looks pretty on the lids but still remains quite natural compared to other shadows. I love this palette and a I went away for the weekend a few weeks ago and took this palette and it was so travel friendly and having a mirror makes it even more handy as you can do your eyeshadow just about anywhere! 

Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics Palette - 
This palette is one perfect for everyday, in fact I use it everyday as I always use the middle shade for filling in my brows as you can see I do use it quite a lot haha! I also love using the second shade in just to cover veins on my eye lids when I just want it to look natural and barely look like I have any eye shadow on my lids, it's also a great palette for creating browny smokey eyes so it has so many uses and you can create a variety of eye looks using just this little palette!

Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Palette -
I never thought pink eyeshadow would look nice on me, I've always wanted to try it but had been too scared. So when I noticed this palette around four/five months ago I wanted to give it a go especially for the £4 price tag but I was definitely a bit skeptical because of how cheap it was, it sounded to good to be true! but It isn't! I am amazed at the quality and I am so looking forward to using this palette in the summer as I think these shades will look beautiful and I just think they look so summery. I think this is such a good palette size, it's a bit bigger than the first two palettes but it would be perfect for a date night or weekend away and they just look so pretty and girly that it looks like you've spent ages doing your makeup, they are such pigmented eyeshadows and I really recommend this gorgeous £4 palette!

Mac Quad - 
Lastly out of all my favourite travel friendly palettes is my Mac quad, I only have two eye shadows called 'Omega' and 'Woodwinked' but you can fill up these palettes yourself and pick the exact shades which you want which I think is amazing! I love using Omega for my eyebrows too sometimes to just add a bit more colour and fill them in. I think Woodwinked is such a stunning golden coloured eyeshadow which has the most gorgeous shimmer but isn't too over the top, it's perfect to pair with a pink or red lip and this palette is so small you could definitely take it most places as it'll probably fit in a clutch bag or a purse so is definitely very travel friendly!


What is your favourite palette(s) to take on your travels?

Current Drugstore Palette Favourites

Makeup Palettes take up quite a big proportion of my makeup collection, I love trying lots of different colours, mattes, shimmers glitters, I love them all so I think this is why I have quite a few palettes now with various colours and finishes to them. 

I want to focus today on my current palette faves from the 'Drugstore' and I will hopefully do a high end version of this post soon so watch this space! So Enjoy Lovely's!
Where you can find them:

The Balm Nude Tude Palette - here
Makeup Revolution Redemption Iconic 3 Palette - here
Makeup Revolution Flawless Matte Palette - here

 My First fave is a hard one to categorise as I wouldn't say it was a drugstore palette but I bought it from Superdrug which is a drugstore health and beauty shop in the UK.  It is the Balm's Nude Tude palette, and it is sold on Superdrug, intact all of these palettes 
It has lots of beautiful shades and has a wide variety for a palette, it has a mixture of shades which is great for someone like me who uses neutral shades a lot and wants to experiment with new eye shadow shades! If you want to see what the inside looks like as I forgot to take a photo of the inside for this post you can see it here in my review of it!

The second is the Makeup revolution palette ahh these shades are divine and are so pretty on so many eye colours especially the shimmery ones. It's supposed to be just like Urban Decay's Naked 3 palette, which I have never tried and I didn't know if the pink toned shades would suit my eyes so I bought this one as a dupe for only £4 yes, you did hear that right! It's incredible for that price tag and the pigmentation is amazing... I don't need the Naked 3 while I have this! The palette has a mixture of shimmers, glitters and matte shades so perfect for creating so many pinky feminine eye makeup looks!

The Last but not least is also from Makeup Revolution can you tell I love there palettes...? It's called the Flawless Mattes palette and you guessed it, they are all matte shades, this was the perfect edition to my eye shadow collection as I have so so SO many shimmery and glittery eyeshadows but always end up using the same Mac or Urban Decay shades for my crease or transition colours, and I wanted to change that and this has so many different colours and different variations of each colours so it's perfect for creating simple eyes, but also you can use it for intensive eye makeup looks too!
