The Ultimate Winter Palette

 
 
 
I remember looking at this palette on the Barry M website a few months ago when it came out and I absolutely loved it. The colours screamed autumn and winter to me. But I only just picked it up a few weeks ago and let me tell you it is the prettiest palette ever. The colours are so different and autumnal, ranging from  mattes and shimmers. It is called the Starry Eyed Palette which I think is a cute name, but the thing that drew me to it was definitely the shades.

First of all, the outer packaging is a deep purple wine colour which is perfect for winter. Like the other Barry M palettes, it contains 6 eyeshadows and a blush. The Starry Eyed Palette contains a shimmery orange with a hint of gold shimmer which is nice as I don't have a shade of blush like this. There are 3 shimmer eyeshadow shades and 3 mattes, I do love matte shades so that is always good. The first colour is a creamy beige, more of a nude skin tone shade. The next one is a shimmery blue which I haven't used yet but I think that could be gorgeous for a party. One of my favourite shades is the matte mahogany red shade which is peerrrrfeeectt for autumn! There is also a shimmery gold and a matte dark brown which is another one of my favourites. The last shade is beautiful, its a shimmery brown with red and gold glitter, quite similar to the shade blackheart in the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette.

As you can see I really do love the colours in this palette, however I do have to say they aren't the most pigmented shadows I've worked with but they are still relatively pigmented. The shimmers to tend to have quite a bit of glitter fallout but I'm sure I can work with that. Overall, this palette is stunning and I am really impressed by it, it is Limited Edition though so you better get it quickly if you want it! Thank you for reading, I hope you liked this post!
