Eep, there are officially 3 days left to get your Christmas shopping done! But, no need to panic because I have two super-pretty palettes that are easy to pick up when you're out and about.
If you're near an ULTA, you're in luck. They have lots of great gifts - one of which is The Delectables Eye Shadow Palette in Delicious Shades of Cool - by Laura Geller. The colors are stunning and so beautifully pigmented, the lucky recipient won't have to re-apply mid-work day. So much pretty shimmer and sheen to the shades - perfect for any daytime or evening look. I've been able to pull off a really pretty smokey eye with minimal effort. Comes with a nice two-end brush and is housed in sleek crackled paper casing. Features the following shades:
- Marble (ivory)
- Slate (neutral beige)
- Smoke (gray brown w/shimmer)
- Frosting (golden brown with shimmer)
- Graphite (icy silver with shimmer)
- Midnight (black w/ shimmer)
- Blueberry (deep navy w/shimmer)
- Macaron (cream nude w/shimmer)
- Candy (warm pink w/ shimmer)
- Bronze (espresso infused w/ gold)
- Lilac (pink plum w/shimmer)
- Amethyst (violet with pearl)
- Plum (blackened purple)
- Carbon (rich black)
Retails for $45 and worth every penny!
The other palette I adore is one you can get at any drugstore (or ULTA if you're there anyway). It's only $19.99 so a complete and total bargain. The Colour Riche La Palette in Nude2 is my absolute favorite "budget" palette that delivers high-quality shadows. Features 10 gorgeous shadows in three varied finishes - matte, sheen and satin. The colors blend effortlessly and so many stunning looks to be created. It also comes with a really nice brush, which is unusual for brands typically found at a drugstore. Honestly, a lot of similarities to UD shadows (which makes sense as they are both under the same brand umbrella) but at half the price. Such a great deal and a lovely present!
Now, it's time to get out there and finish up that shopping! More of my beloved treats to come in a post tomorrow -
