Eyeshadow Haul :)

Two blog posts in one evening :) what a good blogger I am...lol

Anyways...Many many years ago (well about 5...) I used to wear heavy eyeliner and loads of eyeshadow but as I got more and more into makeup I just didn't like the look of eyeshadow on myself. I loved watching the tutorials on youtube but whenever I wore eyeshadow myself I felt like a clown.

I'm trying to break away from this and start using eyeshadows so I decided to buy myself some new shadows for some inspiration.

So I started my adventure at TK Maxx and here are the goodies I found...

First off we have Benefit products...

From left to right we have -

Fishnets - a dark matte chocolate brown, perfect for the crease instead of black.

Low Profile - a creamy matte beige, I tried this on my lid with a shimmery shadow nearer the edge of my eye which turned out ok but meh I'm not sure about this one yet...

Pre-nup - creaseless cream shadow/liner, I love these! They are shimmery and can be used as a base or on its own. This is one a deep rose/coppery brown sort of colour. I don't know what else to say, these are just sooo nice :)

Anyway onto prices...I got the eyeshadows for £5.99 each, I can't remember off the top of my head what they retail for but my guess is £10-£12. I got the creaseless cream shadow/liner for £7.99 and again my guess is probably around £15 for these. There are a few blushers and other Benefit products in TK Maxx just now (not just my local one, the Glasgow one had these products too) so if you want to try these out now is the time to do so!

Now it was time to hit Boots! Here are the two shadows I picked up...

On the top is No,7's Truffle (65). Its a medium brown with shimmer running through it. Its quite pigmented, not extremely but good enough. This was £7 but I got it for £2 with a £5 off voucher you are getting from Boots at the moment (otherwise I think I would of passed this one up...). I just can't condone selling a "boots own" brand for that ammount of money.

Underneath we have number 17's statuesque. This is a pinky beige colour in almost a metallic form. It is very pigmented and for £3.19 (the £3 is right but the pence may be wrong) I can't complain!

Now because my university is right next to TK Maxx I couldn't help but to go in the next day for another peek. This time I found another creasless cream shadow/liner in Bunny Hop, a gorgeous creamy brown/beige with shimmers and blue undertones - yum! I had this before but left the top off and dried it up :(

Here is the swatch of Bunny Hop

And here is my lovely dried up Bunny Hop with its new friend :)

So after all this I decided it was time to invest in the legendary Urban Decay Primer Potion. I would go into detail, you all know the score - creaseless shadow that lasts all day, yes please!

And what would this blog be without a picture for fun sake :)

Im happy with my shadows, although I love my MAC shadows even more :):):):):) but I'm slowly but surely building my collection!

What's your favourite eyeshadows?
