Born Pretty Store: 18 Color Eyeshadow Palette

Hey Everyone! 
Hope you all are well :)

Before Christmas I was contacted by the lovely Allison from the online "Born Pretty Store". Allison told me I could choose whatever makeup I liked off of the site to do a review/ tutorial on. I had not heard of the website before so I spent quite some time browsing the site before I made up my mind with regard to what I wanted to do. I was very impressed with the variety of products on the site and also the pricing. The site has everything from makeup to clothing, jewelry, stationary, toys, phone cases, nail art…the works!


 I had come across some of these products before from other companies however the ones on the Born Pretty Store won't break the bank. After hours of browsing and pondering over products I finally came to a decision about which products I was going to pick.
As you all know I love my colourful shadows so I picked a colourful eyeshadow palette and also a neutral palette. My items were so well packaged, they were wrapped in reams and reams of bubble wrap... they arrived safe and sound! I was super impressed with how efficiently the items were shipped out too, got them in no time!


Today I have a review of the 18 Color Eyeshadow Palette and also a tutorial on how to create a makeup look using some of the eyeshadows.
Over the next couple of weeks I will be doing the same for the colorful eyeshadow palette I received, so you will see how to create a colorful and neutral makeup look. You get the best of both worlds!
The palette arrived enclosed within a black cardboard case with the company logo on the front. Upon opening the case the eyeshadows come in the same style packaging, a black plastic case with the Carmella logo stamped on the front. Plain and simple like almost all of these eyeshadow palettes, nothing over the top fancy!


From the pictures on the website I had expected the eyeshadows to be larger than those in standard eyeshadow palettes. When I opened the palette I was pleasantly surprised with how large the eyeshadows actually were. 
There are no matte eyeshadows in the palette they are all shimmery shadows which I didn't mind too much. Perhaps a matte black or a matte highlight shade would have been nice! 
Almost all of the eyeshadows are highly pigmented with the exception of a couple of the lighter shades. They do not have a chalky consistency and blend easily! With the use of an eyeshadow base or primer there is little to no fallout from the eyeshadows. That is handy for anyone who applies their foundation first! In the picture below the eyeshadows are swatted once, you can see for yourself just how pigmented they are!


The palette retails at $9.99.
In terms of Euro that works out around €7.39…bargain!
Born Pretty Store offers free shipping worldwide, they ship within 24 hours and there is no minimum spend! The palette and site in general is perfect for anyone starting out in makeup and wants to experiment with eyeshadows without spending a fortune!
Allison has given me a coupon code for subscribers and readers to use :)




I don't earn any money from the code I was just sent the palette :) 
On the whole I'm very happy with the palette and overall experience with the company. I'd highly recommend them to anyone :)
If you are interested in picking up this palette you can do so here.
For more information or to browse some various other products head over to www.bornprettystore.com

Inglot Pro Store South Anne Street Launch

Hi Everyone!
Hope you all are well :)


*Disclaimer*
I cannot be held responsible for the possible damage caused to your bank balance after reading this post. If you choose to do so, drooling over products shall be done at your own risk!

Now that we have that out of the way...lets get onto the details :D

I was so chuffed to be able to potter along to the bloggers event at the store the evening before it opened. The grand opening of the store on South Anne Street (just off Grafton Street) was on the 28th of September at 11am, with goody bags supplied to the first 50 people in line.

If you haven't seen the inside of the store yet...lets have a look now!


On entering the store, to the left we have a wonderful wall filled with glorious products. First up we have nail products such as the nail enamels from various different collections like the 'noble collection', 'nightlife collection' etc.
Next to the nail varnishes we have the lip products. Included on the wall are products such as lipsticks, lip paints, sleek lip gloss, soft precision lipliners all in every shade imaginable. There are also pigments, gel eyeliners and brushes located to the left up near the counter.
As you all know by now I am a die hard Inglot fan, I don't think I have created a makeup tutorial without using one of their products. For someone who loves to create colourful makeup looks, Inglot is an absolute god sent for me!
 Great products that are highly pigmented in an array of colours at an affordable price!
What more could a girl want?


Aside from Inglots amazing colour selection, my favourite thing about the brand is that you can create your very own palettes. This is so handy for me, as a makeup artist it majorly cuts down on the weight in my case.
It is not practical for me to carry around tonnes and tonnes of eyeshadow palettes so that I can offer my client a variety of shades and finishes.
With the freedom system I can customise my palette depending on my client and his/her needs. Another brilliant thing about the freedom system is that you are not limited to just eyeshadows. With this unique system you can create your own blush, bronzer, concealer and lip palettes. I would be lost without it!
To date I customized 11 palettes...and I still need more.


The eyeshadows come in a rainbow of colours as you can see, and are situated when you walk in the door on your right.


Next to that we have all the foundations, powders, concealers, bronzers...the works! Along with two fully lit makeup stations down in the bottom corner.


The new pro store stocks all of the Inglot Cosmetics range along with a few exclusive products from 'The Professional Zuca Makeup Case' to 'The Mattifying 3S Range of Pressed and Loose Powders' and more!


One particular item caught my eye as I walked straight in the door, and that was the 'Multi Action Toner'. I had absolutely no idea that Inglot stocked a toner so I am really excited to pick that up when I can!

Amazing so far isn't it? Yes, I did say so far.
There is an upstairs too!


Upstairs is quite spacious with various makeup stations to aid private makeup courses, parties and master classes.
Speaking of which, top makeup artist Jon Hennessey is flying in from Vancouver  to celebrate this exciting launch. Jon will be hosting a couple of masterclasses sharing his tips and tricks of the trade. 
The classes will take place on the following dates:
Wednesday 2nd of October from 11am-1pm
Thursday 3rd of October from 6pm-9pm

For more information call 0873973434 as places are limited!


Rosaleen and I at the launch :) 
(check her out here!)


As there was a full house at the event, the Inglot Makeup Artists put on a couple of demonstrations for us. One upstairs and one downstairs :)


I love seeing makeup being applied on models! As a makeup artist I am always learning so it was nice to pick up a few tips and tricks from the girls and also to learn a bit more about products from Inglots range.


With makeup there are no rules. Just because a product is labelled 'eyeliner' it doesn't mean it has to be used solely on the eyes. One of the extremely talented makeup artists created this floral look on the night using an array of the gel eyeliners. So detailed, so gorgeous!


A fantastic night was had by all and of course a few cheeky purchases were made! I'm thrilled with the new location, as I am from Wicklow the easiest store for me to get to is Dundrum. I'm in college about 5 minutes away from Grafton Street so I have a feeling I won't be a stranger to the store!
If you haven't been down to the new store yet, definitely pop in..the atmosphere alone is great..you won't be disappointed! :)


Have you tried any Inglot products before?
Let me know which ones you can't live without!
