Yay! Make-up Delivery: Manly 24 Eyeshadow Palette
I love when the post man delivers make-up! Today he brought me my 24 Manly eyeshadow palette. I was really excited about this delivery.
This palette was mentioned in lots of YouTube videos and beauty blogs so I decided to buy it and give it a try. I thought it would be great for more extreme and vibrant looks.
This palette is super cheap (under $20) and widely available online. It comes in s cute tin that reminded me of a kiddies art set (smells a little like dry water paints too). It also comes with a brush. There are 24 colours:
and here is what they look like on skin…
Top: Ice, Shine Orange, Bright Red, Pink, Sapphire Blue, Black
Bottom: Ocean, Dark Blue, Coffee, Paris Green, Aztec Gold, Brown
Top: Ice, Aztec Gold, Silver, Azalea, Cosmic Blue, Sun Yellow
Bottom: Iced Gold, Tangerine, Chartreuse, Jadet, Amethyst, Cosmic Violet
First impressions, the shadows are vibrant and very pigmented. Some are softer and more crumbly. They will probably perform better over a eye primer, with MAC fix plus or over a NYX jumbo pencil. I can’t wait to try them, full review and demo coming soon.
I ordered my palette from www.beauties-factory.com. They deliver worldwide. Shipping cost about €5 and delivered within 1 week of my ordering. They are also available on ebay.
Victoria Secret Lipsticks and Beauty Products Haul
I did a little beauty and make-up shopping, oopsie! I ordered some goodies from Victoria Secret.

Victoria Secret Lipsticks
This is my first experience with Victoria Secret lipsticks. I ordered 3, a sheer pink, a peach and a coral. It was tough to settle on these three but after consulting some swatches I decided these suited my requirements; a soft, medium and loud. Don’t ask why I felt the need or a loud lipstick when I am addicted to neutrals, I’m may be trying to change my ways.
Satin Sheets is the first in the picture. It’s very sheer, with little colour. It adds a lovely dimension to the lips when applied over other lipsticks. It also looks very pretty on bare lips for a soft pink sheen. This is one fo those lipsticks that will live in my handbag. Regardless of what lipstick I apply when I’m getting ready I always keep a go to lippie in my bag and I retouch with that. I think one makes lips look kissable.
Scrumptuous is a true peach. It’s much more pigmented than Satin Sheets. This is one of those lipsticks that will look great on most skintones. It’s quite a warm, fleshy shade. I notice on the show What Not to Wear that the make-up artist usually applies a peach shade on the women during the make-over; this is what this lipstick reminds me of. I applied it over concealed lips lined with MAC Buerre Liner and a dab of Love Nectar Lustre Glass. It looked quite glamorous but in a soft way. It made me look polished.
Cabana is a coral. It looks quite bright but has a semi sheer finish. It is absolutely gorgeous and bang on trend this season. Whether I have the guts to wear it is another issue!
Here are the swatches:
