These little gems are the new edition to the Collection family, these eyeshadow palettes include a few matte shades and also some shimmer shades. Here I have the Nude Palette and also the Nude Grey Palette, there is one more in the collection but I wasn't as keen on the shades and I really didn't need three new palettes, heck I didn't really need one but that's besides the point.

Both palettes come with one of those applicators we all hate and usually ditch in the bin, these are no different, they just aren't as good as make up brushes. I have kept mine and used them and found they aren't bad at applying eyeshadow into the inner corner of my eye and also placing eyeshadow under my eye and smudging it out.

These palettes are great and even better they are so affordable, usually the high street brands struggle creating good quality matte eyeshadows so tend to stick to shimmer but these matte shades are great. There is a bit of fall out but even my favourite, expensive Urban Decay eyeshadows do that. The packaging isn't the best, it's cardboard which isn't very durable and includes a brush that we all could do without even though I've managed to make use of it. I think it'd have been great if there had been a little mirror because it's so small and compact to great for travelling but you would need a seperate mirror.

Overall I think this is a fantastic budget buy, great for those starting out with eyeshadow and want to get something cheap to begin with. It'd be great for travelling with but you'd just need an extra mirror and just be careful of any fall out falling onto your face. Definitely worth checking out.

Have you tried these palettes or do you have any budget buys you think I should try?

This Is Me

How do I begin...

How are you supposed to begin?

There aren't any rules about how to do this so it's just me doing it my way.

I'm not writing to anybody, there isn't anybody following me and I'm not aware of anybody reading this, I'm writing this for me, because I want to. It'll take my mind off things when things aren't as good. I love blogs, I love vlogs! I watch and read them daily, then it finally occurred to me that I could try it too.

So hi.

I'm Verity, I'm 20, I just turned 20 and struggling to cope with the fact I'm still pretty clueless what to do with my life.

A basic history of me is that I'm in and out of hospital all the time, I was born with an unnamed illness which affects my immune system. Which in turn affects other things. But, I manage.

I have lived in Belgium for 5 years, so I speak fluent Dutch and when I came back to the UK I did my A-Level whilst I was in year 10. I got an A*. Other than that though I haven't been the luckiest with my education. I struggled through my GCSEs getting good results but I was very stressed and looking back I wasn't all that well.
It all went down hill from there, I started college and pretty soon after I was taken into hospital with low oxygen levels. I soon fell behind with my work and became too breathless and exhausted to keep up with my friends.
I tried a part time accounting course the following year and even the one day a week was too much.


So what about me now?

Well, I live in the countryside with my mum, dad and brother. I'm a young farmer, which basically means I KNOW how to party! I don't go much though because I just can't keep up but I won't let people see me being weak. I was working at the National Trust but I want to move on and do an at home university course. Having not studied for so long I actually miss it!
I want to blog about my experiences of living in the country. I also have a MASSIVE love for make up! Every penny I save is towards make-up, so cheers to living at home forever!
Hopefully along the way you will get to know me a little better.
