Always and Forever

To jump straight into it, this palette is insane, you get 144 eyeshadows which are all shimmery shades and there is a huge variety of different colours to experiment with. These eyeshadow palettes are perfect for people who are just starting out with makeup, younger people, or people who are just obsessed with makeup (MEEE!!).
    
A palette with this many shades has been lacking in my collection for quite a while, so when I saw this palette I did not hesitate to purchase. I thought a palette with lots of shades would be perfect to create lots of different makeup look and with so many shades there are some colors for each season. Due to the fact I already had a positive experience with smaller makeup revolution palettes in the past, this also made the purchase unquestionable. I was over the moon to see, that this palette was an absolute bargain and retails for around £20 (at Superdrug) for 144 different shades. However, I only paid £10 because Superdrug was having a sale and I believe the sale is still current. They also had another palette with 144 different matte shade for only £10 too. So for half price, you cannot go wrong!

So overall, the majority of the colours have a very good pigmentation however, there are a very small amount of colours that aren't as pigmented and needed a couple of swatches to show the true colour.
I really love the fact that there are so many lovely shades that are so wearable and you could make any kind of shimmery look with this palette, I especially love the gold and burgundy shades that would look gorgeous packed on the lid with a matte brown in the crease. I really would love to purchase the matte palette too, to see how good those shades are. Applied on the lid they glide on smoothly and last a decent amount of time. However, I would recommend applying the shimmery shades on the lids before you put foundation or concealer on because they do tend to fall down on your skin when you pack them onto your eyelids. I really do think this palette is worth every penny and if you can grab it whilst it's only £10 I would highly recommend this, it would also be a perfect Christmas or birthday present for makeup lovers or a little treat for yourself.

One of the main reasons I love the autumn is for the great fashion during the season. In today's post, I will share with you one of my favourite autumn/winter outfits, which can be dressed up, or dressed down to suit almost any occasion. I have pieced together the outfit with a few different shoe options and a couple of layering pieces e.g coats, jackets etc. This outfit is comfy and stylish and will suit any body shape.

I have pieced together this gorgeous blush pink ribbed, lattice, v-neck top with these stylish ripped jeans to create the perfect autumn look. This style of top is really in this season and so is this blush pink/mauve colour.

Jeans- Topshop

This outfit can be layered to your preferences whether you want a thick winter coat to keep warm, or a simple fur gilet to provide a bit of extra warmth without covering up too much.

As you can see, I have styled the outfit with a simple leather jacket, which adds an edgy vibe and is the perfect staple piece for the autumn, as it will look good with any outfit.

Another way to layer is with a winter coat, which makes the outfit suitable for even the colder days leading up to winter. I love this Navy parka coat from Topshop as it keeps you warm and toasty as well as looking fab.

Finally, the last way i have decided to layer the outfit is by throwing on a faux fur gilet/vest, which keeps you warm but is very practical for autumn and when the temperature isn't as cold.

 
I also paired with it these gorgeous brown wedges which really pull the outfit together completely and adds a sophisticated touch.

However, for a more practical option, you coud finish off the outfit with a classic pair of trainers/sneakers to provide comfort and warmth.  I've been loving wearing an all white trainer for a more simple look. They also look good with anything, but get extremely dirty very quickly!

And lastly, I decided a pair of chunky black boots would look amazing with the outfit and would really pull it together nicely and they are very appropriate for the time of year.
