2016 Palettes | Favourites

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year it feels so strange to be back in Leeds and to be writing 2017, I feel like the past year went by in a flash. I have loved so many products this year if I did an all round post we'd be here till 2018 so to prevent that from happening I'm just going to talk about my favourite palettes.

I have a number of eye shadow palettes that I always reach for and are always in my everyday make up bag. The first one wont come as as surprise, I have sworn by this palette in 2016, no joke I've worn it practically every day.
The Tartlette palette has such beautiful browns and a couple of shimmers that together make a perfect brown smokey eye - which I will add is my go to look.

Sticking with eye shadows, I have also been loving this morphe palette, it is a pretty good dupe for the tartlette so I find myself reaching for it more often than not as I am terrified of hitting pan on my tarte palette.
This palette is such good value for money, at about £11 it is such a good palette to add to your collection it has such a good selection of colours that you can make so many looks.

The final eye-shadow palette I loved this year was my naked 2 palette, I've had this for a while like a few years and although I was addicted at first now I could live without it. That being said this year I have found myself grabbing for it more than I used it, even if it's just for one specific colour.

Moving on from eye shadow palettes now, I want to talk about this Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette is so beautiful I love it so much. The colours blend so easily and the colours are perfect, all my friends steal this palette.  I highly recommend this if you're looking for a contour palette.

 The final palette I have been obsessed with in 2016 is my Glow Kit, I think it is the most beautiful highlighter set I have access to. I fricking love it so much! I will say, each highlighter is so pigmented that sometimes I can look a little too much like im shining.

 That's all for today folks, I hope you all enjoyed this little post. I have missed just sitting and writing and it's only been a couple of weeks.

My 2017 goals are to post more blog posts and do more photography so get ready for a Jessica Rose packed year!

New Products In My Life

There's nothing I love more than getting new products, swatching them and freaking out over how beautiful they are then proceeding to take a moment to appreciate that they're now in my life and I can put them on my face. Whenever I want!

Today I want to talk to you about the 3 new products that have recently been brought into my life and I have been madly obsessing over ever since.

The first thing I want to talk about is the Tartlette palette that Amy surprised me with because I did well at uni #friendshipgoals I mean I had been obsessing over it since it came out, which involved tagging her in every photo of it on Instagram. I think she got the hint.

Possibly the best thing about this palette is not the flawless colours, the incredible pigment or that its pink its the fact that it smells like mini eggs. Oh yeah every morning I am greeted with greatness.

The next product is something I have had my eye on for a while. I follow a lot of beauty bloggers and they had been ranting and raving about this product and I kept telling myself  "Jess you have to try this, your life depends on it" So after not a lot of self persuasion I decided to invest. However, it came to what felt like a lifetime to hunt one down. Jas managed to pick one up for me, what a hero. Safe to say I was a very happy human.

After Anastasia came out with the Moonshine palette (which I am madly crushing over) I have wanted to try a purple highlighter. I was not disappointed. There's footage of me in my vlog -link- where I get a little bit emotional over this product, it was a truly magical moment shared by all.

Every highlight in this quad is so pigmented I feel like a glowing fairy princess, this palette is only £8 and honestly i'd pay £80... I mean I probably wouldn't but I would seriously consider it.

The final product isn't a palette which honestly i'm just as surprised as you are, as I feel like all I ever buy is some sort of palette. I picked up a Lime Crime lipstick by accident lol. I thought I was ordering a shitty one from Amazon, turns out I was wrong.

When it arrived I didn't have high hopes since it cost about £3 but when I opened the amazon parcel and was greeted with bright red packaging my heart stopped. I couldn't believe it, this isn't my luck. Knowing me I could have ended up with a purple pen. I had never tried Lime Crime but boy was I ready to.

The liquid lipstick I got is in the colour Cashmere but it feels like silk. It is so easy to apply and the colour is a perfect bold purply-nude. I would take a photo but I have a giant spot which I have called Steve and well...he's not camera ready.

 Special thanks to Amy Clarke for being the best friend in the world
