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:

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 - 

Buy here from www.superdrug.co.uk

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!

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!

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?

My Christmas Makeup Of The Day - Everything Drugstore

Currently it is only 3 more sleeps until christmas day! and I am actually super excited! So I thought I would do a post on the makeup I plan on wear on Christmas day and this is it, carry on if you want to see everything I used! I used only drugstore products as I'm really loving so much from Boots and Superdrug at the moment! (UK Drugstore Beauty shops)

So I first used my new favourite foundation the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, which I featured in a Drugstore Makeup haul here which gives such a flawless base and gives a light to medium coverage. I use the shade 52 which is the second lightest shade.

I then used the Soap and Glory kick ass concealer, just to cover up my dark circles with the peachier shade in the duo and then the more yellow shade to cover any pesky blemishes! It's a really good concealer duo as both shades will be good for most skin tones, to correct and conceal.

I didn't use any bronzer as I think I don't need too much with the bold lip and dramatic eyes but you could use some on your skin! I used a No7 highlighting stick to make me skin glow and look really fresh, which I think is perfect for christmas day as I can go all out with the shimmery eye shadows and glowing skin!

I will then use the gorgeous Tanya Burr Hollywood palette which you can see below, I am just going to use the first light shade called 'Nude Delight' and Then the shade 'Enchantment' which is the most pretty gold shade, but it stays on the eyes so well with minimal fallout. If there is any I will just clear this up again with my soap and glory concealer. 

This part is also optional but I then used a tiny bit of 'Bookworm' just to deepen up my crease and to just pull the eye look together. 

I then will apply generous amounts of the Maybelline Lash Sensational after I have curled my lashes lots of times to create the look of some long and curly eyelashes. 

I then have two options for lip colours but if you want a pink or a lighter red shade instead of any of these I have a Christmas lip ideas post coming on Christmas Eve, so watch out for that my loves! 

So the first shade which I may use is an affordable drugstore lipstick is Rimmel Kate Moss in 107. It is a gorgeous dark berry colour which suits so many skin tones and is perfect for the colder season.

The second is the Tanya Burr lip gloss, mine is from her limited edition Gingerbread trio which had this lip gloss and Glittery Nail Polish and a nail file, this particular lip gloss is called 'Sugar and Spice' it has a little bit of colour to it, but nothing to out there so I may use a combination of both on Christmas Day. 

I hope you enjoyed reading and watch out for my christmas lip ideas post coming on Christmas Eve. 

Merry Christmas Everyone!
