7 Reasons You Need The Jaclyn Hill Morphe Palette In Your Life


The internet has been going wild recently for this bad boy and with it just being released in the UK on beauty bay for a crazy £37 for 35 shadows, I knew I had to get my hands on it and test it out for myself! And WOW it didn't disappoint. I must say that although I follow Jaclyn and really appreciate how hard she works and how good she is at what she does, she isn't my favourite influencer and I sometimes find her lack of humbleness gets on my nerves. However, that is besides the point and my focus for this post is solely on how beaut this palette is. So onto the 10 reasons you NEED this in your life:
1) It has every shade you could possibly need for so many different eye looks
2) Each shade is so pigmented 
3) Despite being so cheap the quality of the shadows is near perfection and they blend together like a dream
4) There is a great range of shimmers and mattes so whatever look you are going for you are bound to find the perfect shades to compliment each other
5) The palette is really thin and lightweight, so super easy to travel with for such a large number of shadows
6) The price of each pan is a crazy £1.06, you can barely get an eyeshadow from the cheapest brand of the cheapest drugstore for that amount
7) If you're a UK gal or guy like me we can now join the party as it is available for us too, that's a reason in itself to get it am I right?

Okay and now for my 2 slight niggles I have with this palette, don't get me wrong the pros 100% outweigh the cons on this one but I want to be fair and give my honest opinion so I thought I may as well include them.
1) The packaging, although it looks sleek and instagrammable, is the type of material that gets grubby super easily so you have to be really careful not to get your make-upy paws all over this. However I do believe Jaclyn has announced that she is changing the packaging for this reason, so props to her for listening to her feedback!
2) Not a big deal at all, but I do find it a bit annoying and odd that the shade names aren't to be seen anywhere on the palette, again I think she mentioned that this is something that is being changed too. So anyone that gets the new and improved packaging is really getting an almost flawless palette in my opinion!

Let me know if you have this palette and what you think of it!

The Shampoo That Saved My Hair

Well that title sounds rather dramatic doesn't it! I'll give you a bit of background info about my hair, its all round difficult to manage, my ends get extremely dry if I don't take good care of them, my roots get extremely oily about 10 minutes after washing (only a slight exaggeration) and my scalp if stripped only slightly too much will begin to flake, how lovely.. So I find it very difficult to keep it looking clean, shiny and healthy, hence why I am automatically drawn to brands which I have tried and tested and know work. However a couple of weeks ago my shampoo of choice which I had been using for about 2 months (L'Oreal EverStrong) had ran out and on my dash to boots it was no where to be found. My mother picked up the Herbal Essences combo which names slips my mind at this moment in time, but it is in a pink bottle. I gave this a go as it looked okay and I had no other options but it completely ruined the state of my hair, after washing I found that my hai

Beauty On A Budget- Naked 2 Alternative

Image
         Like the look of Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette but not loving the price tag? Check out the MUA undressed palette from superdrug for an astonishing £4 compared the Naked 2 which is £37. Both come with 12 different really wearable bronzy shades. The pigmentation and colour pay off is obviously going to be quite a lot better in the naked palette but for the price you pay the MUA palette is a wonderful dupe and can create some equally as great smoky eye looks. If you wanna know more about the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette click  here  for my post on the full review and swatches of each shade. Okay guys, so I've decided to allocate particular days each week for posting new content, for the time being I will post 2 days a week, one day during the working week, most likely on a Wednesday or Thursday and then on a Sunday, I feel like this will give me a proper blogging routine and so you guys know when to come back and check out new content (if you would like t

A little bit of Luxury

Image
 I feel that facial oils get a bit of a bad rep for causing breakouts by being too heavy and greasy on the skin especially for people get oily patches i.e. me, surely if you use an oil on your face it will cause your skin to become uncontrollably greasy and unpleasant, right? I put my hands up and admit that I myself always steered away from applying anything too oily onto my face for fear of my skin reacting badly And God knows what happening. However after receiving this Bobbi Brown Extra face oil I cautiously braved it and I must say, I am converted. Super lightweight and non greasy and is absorbed into the skin within seconds. It doesn't fill my pores and I have experienced no nasty skin occurrences whilst using this for the last couple of weeks every night. It softens the skin and injects a burst of moisture whilst plumping (sounds a bit weird doesn't it, promise it's a good thing) out the face giving you a really healthy, natural glow. The price is the only dow
