KARDASHIAN BEAUTY TOUCH TONES PALETTE | EYE LOOK & SWATCHES

Hey everyone I received my Kardashian Beauty Touch Tones Palette today (mouthful or what - that's what she said) in the mail, I bought it from FeelUnique.com - if you're not familiar with the site then I highly suggest you check it out because it has FREE SHIPPING omg
Does anyone else feel obligated to purchase something online if the site offers free shipping? #firstworldproblems

Anyway I got this palette for £10.52, it is originally priced at £11.95 but I used the discount code LOVE12 so see if it still works! I purchased the palette in Echo, I believe there are 3 palettes in total.
I'm not sponsored by feelunique I'm not fancy enough yet for all that lol I just really like the site & they often have discounts or sales on higher end products.

So I'll shut up and show you what the palette looks like & swatches & stuff & things

I really like the packaging personally, I love the mix of white and gold, the back of the palette is not so fancy looking but to be honest who cares what the back looks like lol, it's smaller than I expected but the eyeshadows are a decent size.
The only thing that bothers me is that the 'gradient' section in the middle aren't in seperate pans they're just kind of all together which means they could all end up smudging together and that scares me lol
It comes with an applicator which I don't use as I have my own brushes.


I did ONE swipe of each shadow. When I looked up swatches before doing this I think they swiped several times to get very opaque swatches because mine look nothing like theirs just from one go haha
I was expecting more pigmentation and the shadow didn't distribute as well as I expected.

However when I did my make up with this palette the shadows had a much better pay off than when I swatched on my arm (so weird but I've seen before in YouTube videos where the swatches are crap but when applied is much better)

So onto the look I've never done this before so if you have any suggestions on how to improve how I lay this out then feel free to comment or tweet me :) links will be at the bottom. Enjoy!

I then used Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner in 01 Intense Black to get my winged liner, and used my white eyeliner from the colortrend line by Avon in my inner corner.

Hope you enjoyed the look & swatches have a great Wednesday and I hope you're wearing pink #onwednesdayswewearpink

REVIEW & SWATCHES: AVON COLORTREND KISS N GO LIPSTICKS

So I have a small collection of the Avon Colortrend Kiss n Go lipsticks, which will probably grow because they're amazing lipsticks. Each swatch I provide is one coat of the lipstick, true story. In my opinion they're extremely good quality, opaque, smooth, moisturing and they're only £3.75, and Avon often have deals on these lipsticks I think they're currently £1.90? Don't quote me on that but anyway they're cheaper than your mum and they're amazingggggg...

I have the lipsticks in Deluxe, Rich Ruby, Passion, Doll Pink and Violet Friday. With the price I dont really care about the packaging lol but since I'm reviewing, it's certainly professional, I like that they have a transparant acrylic section so that you can see the real colour of the lipstick rather than some ratchet mock-up sticker on the bottom of the tube. Also I've had these for a while, taken them on my travels and what-not and none of the bullets have broken, nothing has cracked or smashed. Elf take note.

From left to right: Deluxe, Rich Ruby, Passion, Doll Pink, Violet Friday.

From one swipe of each lipstick: Deluxe, Rich Ruby, Passion, Doll Pink, Violet Friday.


I love that Deluxe is so pigmented its not often you find a dark lipstick on the cheaper side that is truly opaque. Rich Ruby is your staple red lip, it looks brighter in the above image than on the lips, it's certainly wearable. Passion is my favourite out of the bunch its a medium pink with a coral undertone its so pretty :) Doll Pink is another staple bright pink but in my opinion still very wearable, Violet Friday looks scary but when applied is sheer so you can build up the intensity which I like, you could easily turn this from day to night.
I tested out Passion when I went out for a meal, and it lasted through the whole meal, of course its not made of magic so it wasn't as vibrant as when first applied but I could also get away without touching up.
I don't understand why Avon do other lines of lipsticks such as Long Lasting, Colour Riche, etc. and more expensive at like £8 when these lipsticks shit all over the others and are way cheaper, I question the logic lol idk but thanks for reading hope this was helpful x
