Six Corduroy Outfits

Alright, It's no secret by now; If theres one thing I am in love with at the moment - it's corduroy. I don't really know how this obsession came about, it just kinda, happened. And now it won't stop haha.

So I figured I would celebrate this, and put together a few outfits all based around corduroy pieces. I will list below all items featured! :)

Smashbox // Cover Shot Metal Petal Palette

I've been a pretty lucky girl lately with the blessing of not one, but two new palettes, the Smashbox Cover Shot Palette in Metal Petal being one of them. I have had my eye on this for quite some time, and decided to cash out my Boots points and finally invest in it. 

I had never actually seen this palette in the flesh before; the only images I had to go by were some I found on Google, so it was pretty much me going in blind. First thoughts? If were being honest, I was pretty shocked at the packaging upon first glance. It came in a flimsy little cardboard box, which had a window on the front so you could see the whole front of the palette. I don't know if there is anyone else who thought this (let me know if you have one of the Smashbox Cover Shot Palettes, and you did), but to me it instantly looked cheap and 'tacky' - not something you'd expect from a high end palette. 

Because the packaging had a window, with no protective seal the holographic image on the front on the actual palette came all scratched. I was a bit disappointed in this. I like to keep my palettes looking fresh and cute. Nevermind, we can look past that.

As you can see the colour theme is a beautiful array of pinks - shimmers and mattes. I like to have a mixture of different finishes when it comes to picking a palette. However, I am a major fan of metallics and shimmers, so the fact that the majority of this palette was just that, was great by me! And I absolutely love shimmers. I kind of feel like the last brown shade didn't need to be there though, I already have WAY too many of them. Perhaps if it was replaced with another dark toned pink; I feel like that would have complimented the theme of the palette more?

So what are the pros? Because of the shade range, this would be great for both day and night looks; it's very versatile. The colours blend so well together and you can mix and match them up, to create several different looks; every colour works well together. 

A for staying power, this stayed put and in place all day, and as you can see from the pictures, they are very pigmented. I really didn't have to use a lot of product, or 'build up coverage', because it was already there; which makes it seem silly to complain about a bit of flimsy packaging! 

Huda Beauty // Topaz Obsessions Palette

If theres one make-up trend I have been living for lately, it would be without a doubt that orange eyeshadow look. All of the 9739737 palettes I already owned, just weren't cutting it. I was looking for a palette that had an array of orange and gold tones, but also to tick all of those boxes on my checklist of what makes a 'good', durable eyeshadow.

When I first got my hands on this palette, I was quite surprised at how small it is. But really, a little goes a long way. Each colour is so soft and smooth, which means that you can pick up a lot of product with even the most gentle touch. I truly think this will last me quite a while because of this. And on the plus side, it's going to be great for travel.

You would think that because of the product itself being so 'creamy' in texture, that you would have a problem with fall out. WRONG. I have been using this since Christmas, and I have used it every day, not having this problem yet. 

I read a lot of reviews about this eyeshadow palette before committing to asking Dan to kindly get it me for Christmas. They were quite mixed, but on a whole very positive. There were all sorts of comments on how they don't find the pigment of the matte shades weren't as pigmented, or how to metallic shades didn't come out as 'shimmery' when applied to the lid. I can safely disagree with these comments. This is probably the most pigmented and beautiful eyeshadow palette I own to date. With that in mind, they blend together so effortlessly.

After having this palette in my life for just over a week, I am already trying to hold myself from buying one of the other palettes from the range; Ruby Obsessions - I'm looking at you! For anyone else obsessed with that orange grunge eye look like me, I couldn't recommend this enough. And for £25, I say thats the ultimate steal.
