So naturally I love when I get full control of the shadows I put in a palette, and with so many brands doing customization I thought I talk about four that I think are great value, quality and variety.

July 2015 Beauty Favourites

July seemed like an incredibly busy month for me, and flew by (insert classic beauty blogger line about 'where did the time go?' here.) I actually think every product in July's favourites list is new to me this month, so clearly I tested a lot of great stuff - there aren't always so many hits when it comes to new launches in one month! Let's take a look at what I'm loving right now, shall we?

Friday Face | Coppered Plum Eyes

I've been having plenty of fun playing with a new customizable eyeshadow palette this week so naturally it had to be included in my favourite look of the week for the #FridayFace post. Perhaps something I would normally associate with Autumn, I've been all about the burnished plums and rose golds lately. Here's what I used to get the look:

The Friday Face | March 13th 2015

 
I've been thoroughly enjoying posting the odd 'face of the day' shots on instagram as of late, and I thought I might like to expand on that notion by occasionally posting my favourite of these looks here.

Let's take a gander at this ridiculous haul of embarrassing proportions, shall we?
