Oh hello! It's been a little while hasn't it... Have I forgotten how to do this? On don't you worry my ability to ramble on about makeup, shoes, clothes, cakes and travels is definitely still in full force!
So let's get straight into it shall we?
In the last few months I've been a busy bee working for Benefit Cosmetics and have spent most of my mornings travelling by train, giving all the early morning lucky commuters some private makeup tutorials, they love it!
So with all this travelling and my recent holiday to Mykonos (it was an absolute dream, if you haven't been GO) I have been really into palettes, they just are so easy and compact to chuck into my not so little makeup bag every day and allow me options... every girl needs options! Don't get me wrong I do tend to find myself steering towards and creating similar looks, but who doesn't want to have that bronze goddess glam errrrrday alllllday?
Eyes - Kat Von D and Nude'tude Palettes
Contour Bronze and Blush - Chatlotte Tilbury
Highlight - Makeup Revolution
Lips - Mac Lip Pro Palette
Me being me I've also found myself frantically telling/forcing my friends to try out my most loved pallets that I simply couldn't live without now. In fact some I have used to death I've had to re purchase... that's when you know your obsessed!
So as I have neglected you lot lately I would give you something back... some Palettes you will fall in love with!
These pallets range from high end to very affordable drugstore, and just a little warning some of these are very well loved they come with me everywhere!
Here they are...
My top 5 Palette Picks
Kat Von D Shade and Light eye contour Palette $46
If you have yet to hear about this pallets where have you been?? It's massive in the beauty world and I can really see why, all the orange and rust smokey eye shades that are so on trend at the moment you will find carefully placed between bronze and taupe transition shades! I'm in love, I wear the last 4 shades in the palette (there is a picture below) on my eyes most days, get ready for some envy inducing eye!
Charlotte Tilbury - Instant look in a Palette £49
For my she can do no wrong, everything she brings is just a makeup lovers dream! This Palette doesn't disappoint, it has the perfect bronze/blush/highlight trio swell as having some great everyday eye look shades. The products are so creamy and pigmented, such good quality and worth the high price. The most handy I have because it's eye, cheeks and contour in one!

MAC - 6 Modern Browns Pro Lip Pallete £35
Nudes, nudes, nudes, everyone is wearing them everyone is wanting them. The thing I love about this mini palette is that they aren't matte. Yep, I said it, they don't dry my lips out, they are long lasting but they aren't glossy. They all just look good and feel good isn't that the key? A great range of soft peachy nudes to cool taupe's and warm browns. Perfection!

The Balm Cosmetics - Nude'tude £37.50 (cheaper on Amazon)
I have become SUCH a big fan of this brand in the last year, I love there highlighters and blushes too!
But this shadow palette is just SO wearable and the shimmer and matte shades all just go with each other to make some really stunning looks, I always find I'm asked what I'm wearing when I use these colours as they are very unusual, also comes with a brush too. Look on Amazon as The Balm is really cheap on there, thank me later!
Makeup Revolution - Golden Sugar Blush Palette £6 (yes I know)
So I thought I'd save the best for last, when I brought this it was just an experiment because I liked the colours and It was cheaper than most of my lunches so I thought why not! I've used it so much I'm now on my second one n 3 months! The highlighters in this palette are insane, the best I've ever used. Bold statement I know! The matte bronze shade is great as well, it's a lovely warm tone so you won't get that that ashy muddy contour that I notice some girls have, they need this palette!
The swatch says it all, I know where you'll be this weekend ladies, Superdrug!
