Hello my lovely readers,
I can honestly say I am so glad it is the weekend! This last week has gone very quickly but it has been very busy.
In my last blog I mentioned some news that I really wanted to share but I couldn't because it wasn't completely finished yet but this week it has been. I am doing a two week placement at the Marriott Hotel in Park Lane, London!! I AM SO EXCITED! This is the industry I want to get into in the future so this work experience is an amazing opportunity for me and I seriously cannot wait. I will hopefully have time to blog about some of it but if not I will do one after the two weeks.
Todays blog is about a new Lancome palette my dad got me while he was away on a work trip. It is a cute little travel palette with a range of eye shadows and lipglosses. It is called Midnight Voyage travel palette and it is the perfect size for a handbag.
So to start off with, I love the Lancome packaging. It is very beautiful and looks very high quality. The little palette comes with a felt pouch to keep it clean and safe from other things that may be in your bag.
The packaging itself is also very nice, just a shiny black box with the Lancome rose in the bottom right corner just giving that little added extra detail.
The palette is set out really nicely. when you first open the lid you have the 6 different eye shadows and two little application tools and then when you slide the bottom out you have the three different shades of lip gloss. There is also a very good sized mirror because sometimes in travel palettes the mirror can be very small and not useful at all.
All of the colours are very good and there is a very good range of colours for different eye looks which makes this a good palette for going anywhere. The lip glosses are also very good because the three shade go from a neutral nude colour to a lovely red.
I did some swatches of the eyeshadows to show you the true colours and they are all very similar to the colours. They are all very pigmented and are super soft to touch. I like the ratio of matte to sparkly because I am not the biggest fan of sparkle but these are very nice. The colours also blend very well. Most palettes will come with little brushes to apply the makeup but unfortunately they are not the best so I would definitely recommend bringing a eyeshadow brush especially if you want to blend the eyeshadows together.
The three shades of lip gloss are also very night. I would wear them all. They are the perfect colours for the eyeshadows because you can do a dark eye look with a light lip colour or a dark lip with a light colour eye look. The swatches on my arm are two layers of the lip gloss which really helps to get the full colour of the lip glosses. Again the applicator for the lipglosses is not very good so you could either apply it with your finger or get a lip brush.
I am definitely looking forward to using this palette more in the future. Look out for pictures on my instagram @Perfect_and_Sweetblog
