THE 5 EYESHADOW PALETTE’S I’LL BE REACHING FOR THIS AUTUMN/WINTER (BLOGTOBER – DAY FIFTEEN)

15th Oct 202115th Oct 2021 by Dreadfully Kelly, posted in Beauty

If you follow me over on Instagram (HERE) then you’ll know I’m a bit of a palette hoarder…

I’ve rounded up my fav autumn/winter feels palette so if you’re struggling to narrow down your shopping basket this might give you a nudge in the right direction!

Celebrating spooky season all year round with this beaut! The grungy colour story of the Unicorn Cosmetics Wicked Palette still has me hooked all these months later.

Full of vampy glam goodness that’ll see you through a multitude of situations. I really can’t see it getting old. It’s also currently on sale for £24.99!

You can use code ‘THEBEAUTYBOO’ at checkout to save some £££.

Somehow the Nabla Dreamy 2 Palette manages to be both delicate AND bold, something I’m sure we could all do with more of in our lives!

The luxury finish of these rich shadows 100% justifies the £32.50 price tag, plus the packaging is lush and I’m not sure what else you can ask for really?

The warm tones of the Pantherine Palette give off utter autumnal dream vibes but also beautiful sunset feels so you’re pretty much covered all year round for £30!

Spectrum Collections Pantherine Palette Swatches

The Spectrum Collections Pantherine Palette is a warm toned delight with (in my opinion) the perfect mix of matte and metallic shades. It’s also super pigmented and blends like a dream.

The dreamy colour story of the Rose Metal Palette will have you wishing every night was date night. Whilst definitely neutral for the most part it’s rosey tones really add that something special into the mix. Absolutely packed with pigment and the quality is second to none.

Lois Cosmetics Rose Metal Palette Swatches

Rose Metal is there to soothe the most romantic of souls and for £19.99 will leave you feeling like ever day is Valentine’s Day.

A colour story of two halves if ever there was one. Each element of the palette works so beautifully together for a truly unique experience but you really do feel like you’re getting an extra bang for your buck with so much choice and versatility.

By Beauty Bay Wilderness Palette Swatches

This vegan & cruelty free beauty is just so magical with its pigmented mattes and stunning shimmers (or a cheeky duochrome with shade ‘Ray’ which really lifts the whole palette to another level).

The By Beauty Bay Wilderness Palette is an all year round £15 bargain triumph.

THE NEXT BIG THING? BY BEAUTY BAY OF COURSE!

Beauty Bay launched their own in house cosmetics brand ‘By Beauty Bay’ in 2018 and if I’m honest, I didn’t know the beauty industry was missing something until that moment.

BEAUTY BAY’s mantra is to share our beauty obsessions with the world. Founded by two of life’s rebels who had no formal training, just a tonne of passion, we started out as a fragrance retailer and quickly discovered a whole universe of beauty just waiting to be unleashed.

By Beauty Bay The Pastels Palette.

The Colour Theory collection perfectly combines excellent quality with affordability which is something few brands have managed to achieve or sustain. From there the brand has grown it’s line of makeup and even skincare considerably with products that push the boundaries of what beauty really means to us.

By Beauty Bay x MMMMMitchell Me, Myself & MMMMitchell Palette.

I mentioned affordability earlier and I want to come back to that now because it’s something I’m really passionate about. Do I think you need to invest in expensive products to look and feel good? Absolutely fucking not, nothing could be further from the truth.

By Beauty Bay Bright Matte 42 Colour Palette.

Cost does not equal quality and Beauty Bay has proved that to be true without a shadow of a doubt. Their pigmented AF palettes pack an almighty punch and are likely to steal your heart away from your current favourite given half the chance.

By Beauty Bay Youtopia Pressed Pigment Palette.

The online retailer has always been unique in how they operate. Stocking big name brands whilst also supporting indie businesses and small creators, giving us all a boost and acknowledging our worth. That kind of recognition is priceless within the beauty community.

By Beauty Bay x Nikki Tutorials Pressed Pigment Palette.

I haven’t even mentioned their famous influencer collaborations yet! The queen that is Nikkie Tutorials released her x Beauty Bay Pressed Pigment Palette back in September and it’s still a huge fan favourite now. The unique design and versatile colour story makes it a collection staple.

That together with a similarly intriguing offer from MMMMitchell and something altogether different created with Ayo Coralie I have no doubt that the Beauty Bay creative team are some of the best in the business. Those minds be working overtime I’m telling you!

By Beauty Bay Wilderness Palette & Laoxa Flames Earrings.

I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this underrated gem. Being the hoarder that I am I imagine my collection will grow with ease but from a practical angle (because yes, I actually can be sensible!) I’m possibly even more desperate for a bigger line of skin saviours (the Butter Cup Cleansing Balm and Super Jelly Cleansing Gel are the best possibly combination for that fresh as a daisy or buttercup?! face if you’re oily AF like me and honestly I need more of that in my life).

Do you already have any By Beauty Bay favourites and if not have I tempted you enough to see for yourself?

This vegan & cruelty free beauty is just so magical with its pigmented mattes and stunning shimmers (or a cheeky duochrome with shade ‘Ray’ which really lifts the whole palette to another level).

A colour story of two halves if ever there was one (I purposely swatched it in this way to demonstrate what I mean). Each element of the palette works so beautifully together for a truly unique experience but you really do feel like you’re getting an extra bang for your buck with so much choice and versatility.

I’m so impressed with this little gem and at only £15 you can enjoy it’s inevitable success right along with me!

BY BEAUTY BAY BRIGHT MATTE 42 COLOUR EYESHADOW PALETTE REVIEW

‘A collection of forty-two matte, rainbow-hued eyeshadows.

Combining pinks, blues, greens, yellows and purples for bold, bright results, By BEAUTY BAY Bright Matte 42 Colour Palette is the matte version of the ultimate colour spectrum collection. Each shade features intense pigment payoff and major staying power, enabling you to craft an infinite number of multidimensional looks.’

*By Beauty Bay 42 Colour Bright Matte Eyeshadow Palette Swatches.*

Have you ever seen such a stunning rainbow palette in all your life? Each perfectly selected shade is both vegan and cruelty free as well as buttery smooth and pigmented AF.

With such a incredibly range of shades it’s easy to see that it’s the perfect palette for creative artistry but what I’m most excited about (as someone who is very definitely NOT an MUA) is the freedom to explore more wearable monochromatic looks (greens aren’t usually my thing but I am soooo looking forward to diving in there head first and adding a bit of drama to the school run!).

Monochrome pink makeup look using the By Beauty Bay Bright Matte 42 Colour Palette.

If you’re looking at the Bright Matte and feeling ever so slightly intimidated (and who could blame you? She is a bad bitch!) then you’ll be pleased to know that it also contains a top line of (7 – including both a black and white) neutral shades to help ease you into the madness!

For £23 you can add this beauty to your arsenal and really amp up your makeup game!

You can pick yours up HERE.

By BEAUTY BAY is going to be one to watch guys!

BY BEAUTY BAY ‘NEW ROMANTIC’ EYESHADOW PALETTE REVIEW

26th Jul 202126th Jul 2021 by Dreadfully Kelly, posted in Beauty

With Valentines Day long gone you might think it strange of me to want to discuss a release that was had just that in mind…BUT, restrictions are fast easing and now a date night really might be in sight so it’s the perfect time to get into the mood to glam up, right?

…and guys, I have the answer!

The By Beauty Bay ‘New Romantic’ Eyeshadow Palette!

It has everything you need to really spark a fire in that creative belly of yours. Absolutely jam packed with a mix of 20 pigmented mattes and stunning shimmers.

Beauty Bay really knows how to balance outstanding quality with a bargain price tag (the palette costs just £15!) so we were always onto a winner with this warm toned dreamboat.

By Beauty Bay New Romantic Palette Swatches

Whilst certainly a Valentine’s Day inspired colour story the palette actually features a really lovely assortment of neutrals throughout too. Perfect to take you from day to night when some sort of normality resumes.

…and if you feel like going all out then you could always chuck the ‘New Romantic’ Liquid Crystal Eyeshadowsin your basket too. At £6 each or all £3 for £15 they are the perfect way to add some extra oomph into your finished look.

Massively regretting the fact I haven’t picked them up myself now but such is life.
