Hi, dolls!

I am so excited to share with you my very first own eyeshadow palette that was fully designed by me! I want to thank BEAUTONOMY - a company that let's you either buy pre-made palettes by them, separate eyeshadows or - the most fun option out of them all - create your own palette! I mean, how cool is that? You get to pick your own shades, name them, pick the design of the palette and all the colours. It was a really fun experience to create my very first own palette just how I want it, with all the shades I use and would want in my own palette. The prices are also very reasonable and there are couple of codes you can use to make it even cheaper! 

PS. THIS POST IS IN NO WAY SPONSORED OR AN ADD. I AM NOT GETTING PAID TO TALK ABOUT THIS BRAND AND PROMOTE IT. I HONESTLY JUST LOVE THE ENTIRE IDEA OF WHAT THE COMPANY OFFERS AND THINK IT'S A GREAT THING FOR ALL OF US BEAUTY LOVERS. 

Another fun fact about Beautonomy - you can actually turn your palettes into a little shop. You place your creations to a store that other people can buy from and you get some % of each palette sold. You don't have to do it but how cool is it to create something, have people buy it and get paid for it without actually having to do any manual work? I say that is pretty amazing! 
Well... Let me introduce to you, my PEACHY PALETTE. Designed & named all shades by ME. It truly is my perfect little palette that I am so obsessed with !!!


I received this palette within 48 hours of ordering it and you will never believe how happy I was to finally have it in my hands. All the shades come packed separately, and you do have to place them in the palette by yourself. They are magnetic and stick to the palette very easily, so that wasn't a problem to me because it makes you actually design the palette again. For people that did not want to name the shades on the actual palette that can also means they can switch those colours around in the palette for as long as they want. I mean, how awesome?!



Let's get to the prices - my Peachy Palette which consists of 8 eyeshadows - 4 mattes, 3 shimmers and 1 glitter - costs £24.00. However, there are many coupon codes that can give you either 10% or 20% off so you can save up some more money. As if of today (30/07/18) there is another offer - BUY ONE get ONE FREE. Which means you get one palette for free!!! Honestly, it is the best deal you can lay your hands on. As in for the codes - you will find them on their INSTAGRAM account. 


The fact that I was able to switch these around and design where which colour would be placed as well as naming them, made me the happiest about this whole process! All these names mean something to me and I will give you guys a little scoop on each of the shades. 

1. Snow - A beautiful white shimmer shade that can be used as both, eyeshadow and highlighter. Being pale af it was always a struggle for me to find the perfect highlighter that would not be too dark for me. That's when I started using white highlighters, as those are super pretty on my skin tone. Snow looks amazing on my skin. The name SNOW also comes from the fact that I am very pale, and only recently started loving it. I used to be so jealous of everyone that wasn't pale or had a darker skin colour as I could never find anything my shade and never saw my pale skin as something nice. However, the more that this beauty community grew, the more pale skin people started talking about how we should be confident about ourselves and that is why now I enjoy being pale as hell and buying the lightest shades for everything lol.

2. Cream - Matte nude to set my base or just use on my crease for my everyday look needed to be in this palette. I hit pan in almost all of these nude shades from all of my owned palettes, therefore this is one colour that I always reach out for. The name CREAM just comes from the shade. Creamy nude. 

3. Luxy - Gold = Luxury. No? I love any golden shimmer shades as they look so beautiful on the lid with any brown eyeshadows. I also thought that it would be a good highlight for anyone with a darker skin colour. 

4. Peachy - Well, this is a PEACHY palette, and a peach matte was needed. I love anything peachy, and I think the Too Faced Peach Palette really set this trend for anything peach-like. I have been obsessed with all the peach emojis ever since, that's why I wanted a peach palette as my first very own one. 

5. Doll - A beautiful baby pink shimmer that can go with any look. Wearing pink can make you feel like a princess, as weird as it sounds, and I don't know - it's just fun and cute to switch it up for a pink look at times. The name DOLL comes from the fact that I call all my friends (girls) dolls and well all of you, my followers - you're my dolls! 

6. 31 - A strong, beautiful red matte. I love any red eyeshadow, but in this case I wanted a shadow that can just remind me of my boyfriend - hence the name 31. It signifies the day we started dating and the red colour for me stands for love. I love it, lol!

7. Cosmo - The most fun and the only glitter in my palette. I named it cosmo because it looks so out of this world and looks so bomb on the eye!!!

8.  Aquarius - Blue is one of my favourites colours, so naturally I had to place it in my palette. I do not wear blue matte eyeshadow on an everyday basis but it's fun to play with it at times. The name comes - you guessed it - from my astrological sign. I'm an Aquarius - winter baby. :>

I think that for the price and the whole idea, the actual quality of the eyeshadow is very good. It almost reminds me of the Colourpop eyeshadow formulas. They blend amazingly on the eye and definitely last for a long time - but make sure to prime your eyes with a good eye primer. I use my concealer and it works just as good!

Okay guys, last but not least!
I wanted to share with you this palette and give you an opportunity to have it as well. I have decided to let BEAUTONOMY sell my designed palettes to all of you.

Hi, dolls! 
I know it's been a while since I've done a blog post, but catching up with school, private life, work and my blog can be really difficult. However, I am back today with a new blog post - I want to review the Morphe x Jaclyn Hill eyeshadow palette. If you're interested to find out more about this palette, let's get right into the review!

Jaclyn Hill - for all of you that might not know - is a famous youtuber/influencer who has done many make up collaborations with beauty brands before this palette came out. I wouldn't say that I am the biggest fan of any of the beauty youtubers, but I do like the products Jaclyn came out with. The drama side to all these beauty influencers however - as interesting as it might be, I just try not to focus on that and just pay attention to the beauty items/stuff they do and come out with. 


This palette was released around a year ago and although wanting it so badly, I have only purchased it recently. The reasons for that are simple - at first, it wasn't available in the UK and I was not going to pay customs, second - I didn't think I would use this many shades. But the more I saw it, the more I wanted it and finally just bought it without having any regrets. I got it at the beginning of June, so after a whole month of using it, I can finally do a full review and share my opinions on it with you guys. The palette costs £37, which is definitely higher than any usual Morphe palette, but from what I have read/heard, Jaclyn has used 'better' formulas for these shadows - please don't quote me on that because it might not be 100% accurate. However, I do feel like this collab had to be a bit more expensive, because otherwise it would not stand out from their other palettes as it does now. Plus, for the amount of shades you are getting, the price is really not that bad!

The swatches:



I am very curious to find out which of these 3 photos of swatches you like best when it comes to the shades. I am definitely more in love with the first two, and the last one did not really speak to me, except the minty colours. As some of you might be aware already, mattes from Morphe are a bit chalky, and that is the case with this palette too - but only when swatching. I don't seem to have this problem when putting them on my eyelids which is definitely a good thing. The shimmers - it takes one swipe to swatch them (that's how pigmented they are!!) but they do have some fall out when putting on the eye. Once again, this is not a problem to me because I always do my eye look first and then go on to do my face, but for people that tend to do their make up the other way around it can definitely be annoying. 


I wanted to show you guys the difference - above is a picture of the palette when it arrived, below is a picture of the palette after a month of constant use. There is barely any kick back in the palette - the last row has it the most because of the swatches I was doing and how chalky they are.



To conclude - I am in love with this palette! I love the shade range, how pigmented they are, how little kickback there is in this palette & how many amazing looks you can create!

What I would improve - The palette is definitely missing a light shade like the first two (that are shimmers) in a matte version, for pale ass people like myself. Second, there are too many browny shades that could be changed to more funky shades like that beautiful blue and mint colour! Last, and most important I think - ADD a mirror!!! A palette this HUGE should have a MIRROR with it. It makes me not want to travel with this palette because I'd have to carry another palette or a separate mirror which just doesn't make it travel friendly for me lol.

As always, thank you for reading my review, and please let me know in the comments whether or not you have tried this palette and your opinions about it. I saw that the new VAULT - second round of Morphe x Jaclyn Hill is coming but for now it doesn't look interesting for me, because it kind of reminds me of this palette + all the drama around it doesn't make me want to buy it. Maybe with time it will become more attractive to me. 

Love, Olivia xo
