Palettes I'm Coveting

Today I'd like to post about makeup wants! Turns out once the passion for beauty is ignited it never really dies down...

There are some beautiful palettes out in Autumn/Winter of this year as well as a few I've previously missed that I've added to this post.

1) Urban Decay Vice 4

The colours really appeal to me, although they don't seem to be entirely original, I tend to get on with UD eyeshadows really well.

2) Lancome's Auda(city) in Paris

The shades look gorgeous, the palette sleek and I love the promo shot!

3) Urban Decay Naked Smoky

Makeup Inventory Update #1


This is the first update of my makeup inventory I did a while back, it's around a 7 month update. I will try to post updates more regularly as I hopefully get through products quicker.

I've shaded in the numbers which have gone down in green and remained the same in amber. Fortunately there weren't any reds! I would like to add a skincare/bodycare/nail polish inventory at some point too.

I still have a long way to go with makeup so wish me luck! I removed lip balm because it's technically skincare, I would like to keep track of how many I own though.

My ideal numbers have also changed, I want even less. I've also removed glitters as a category as I can use them for nail art and I probably wouldn't use them for my face.

The majority of categories have seen a decluttering/using up and the rest have remained the same. For the next update I will omit the categories with 0 as the goal once I reach it.

I still need to use up 99 products or get rid of them which is a lot! I hope to finish up more soon and have another update.

Thank you so much for reading!:)
