I recently got these eyeshadows from Makeup Revolution, they were part of a Cyber Monday deal. All of the shadows were swatched dry, they do recommend using them wet for a more intense look.

Heavenly

Blue Planet is a light-medium blue with silver shimmer.

All of these eyeshadows were shimmer based, some swatched more intensely than others. Moon Dust is my favorite from the 'Out of this World' collection. I'm very interested in seeing these used wet. I didn't used to use shimmer shadows however this past year I have been enjoying getting more in to them. Still avoiding glitter shadows though!

Stamping Plate: Born Pretty Store - BP10

Born Pretty Store recently came out with their own range of stamping plates, I managed to get a couple of these in a special 1p sale. Having not tried any of there plates before I was interested in seeing if they actually stamped, and I was pleasantly surprised.

These plates come with a branded backing which means the edges not sharp.

Born-Pretty-Store-BP10-BPS10-Stamping-Plate

I used Kleancolor Metallic Sapphire to stamp with and as you can see I didn't have problems with any of the images. The large design will be quite versatile as you could use it in lots of different ways.

For me I like the mandala image as well as the starfish. I do think the larger image will get a lot of use as well.

Once I have used this plate you will be able to see all of them by clicking here.

I also have a 10% off code for the website which you can use if you want to;
