Makeup Monday / Four Looks One Palette / Pur Festival Palette

I have been wanting to do a five looks one palette series, but I only ended up doing four last week with this palette. I think I will do 3 to five, depending on the palette. 

After using this palette several times last week I find that I like this palette a lot more than I thought I would. This pink is the best hot pink that I have in all of my collection. The purple is a unique shade as well. I swatched all of my other purples and none were this exact shade. The rest of the shades are neutral, but they are still fairly unique. I do have lot's of other browns and bronzy colors but swatching them next to each other they are still slightly different in shade. I would keep this palette for the two pops of color and the pressed glitters alone. The glitters are very nice and they stick to the eye very well without any glitter glue! 

Here are a few of the different looks that I did with this palette. There are still a couple more that I wanted to do using the pink glitter, but you can still get an idea of how useful and fun this palette really is.

One day I will get a better phone. All of these looks were so much brighter and prettier in person. 

I had a lot of fun with this palette. This one will definitely be staying in my collection. 

Makeup Monday

OK, I know today is not Monday, but I want to start a Makeup Monday weekly post.

 I have been thinking about taking one of my palettes each week and doing a different eye look with it each day of the week, or at least 5 days. 

I recently counted all of my palettes and I have 19, but a few of them are small palettes. To some, 19 seems like a lot, and to others that's hardly any at all. I have already given some away and tried to keep only the ones I really wanted. 

Yes, I love eye shadow palettes. They are my weakness. I am trying to be more careful on what I buy, as a lot of palettes are very similar to ones that I may already have. I am definitely trying to be more picky. 

One thing I noticed though was that I don't get as much use out of all of my palettes as I would like. 

I want to take one palette each week and see all of the different looks that I can come up with. As I am doing this, I feel like this will help me to decide if this is a palette that I truly love and need to keep, or if this is one that I could pass on to a friend or family member. 

These are all of my current palettes. ( I do happen to have a few more on the way, but I got them on a big sale! lol)

I decided to start with the Pur Festival palette as I just got this in my last months Boxycharm. If you are interested in signing up for Boxycharm you can use my link here. 

I love Boxycharm. It is only $21 a month and you always get over $100 worth of makeup and skin care! 

Anyhow, I am going to start with the Pur Festival palette. I have already done two looks with it, and I am loving this palette way more than I thought I would. 

I did this orangey bronze look. I wish I had a better camera because this looks so much better in person. All of this eye looks I've done look way better in person...But I loved this look. It is a great neutral look, but not as plain. 

Today I did a brown/purple look. It has purple in it but it is not wild or crazy. It is still a very wearable look. 

Two very different looks from the same palette. I can't wait to do more! This palette has pressed glitters in it as well, so at least one of my looks will have glitter. I can already tell that I could do way more than 5 looks with this palette. This is a great palette. I will have all of the looks in one post on Monday.

See you Monday!

PS...If there is a particular palette that you would like to see next, let me know!
