I'm going to get ahead of the game and start with awesome Christmas gift ideas for this years holiday season. Today I will be reviewing the Motives Cosmetics Boxed Beauty Palette.
This palette is super sleek and affordable ($37) for travellers who want to pack light, or for young girls, or anyone starting to get into make-up. It makes a great starter palette and Christmas gift.
It comes with a great size mirror, 6 eyeshadows and 2 blushes. The shades are quite versatile to create day and night looks.
You also get a little blush brush and sponge tip applicator for the eyeshadows. I would probably recommend getting the person you'd be buying this real brushes though, since these aren't the best brushes to use.
The blushes:
Now compared to the disappointing The Present by Scott Barnes for Motives Cosmetics Palette, the pigmentation for these products are WAY better. It's not too powdery that it would flake off, and the colour payoff is outstanding. A little definitely goes a long way since the colour shows up so well. The left blush would also make a great highlighter.
The eyeshadows:
These colours are absolutely gorgeous. Now if you're more of a matte eyeshadow person, then this palette is not for you. All the colours have a gorgeous shimmer to them. The only colour that kind of sucked was the white one, which didn't show up very well. My favourite would probably be the first shade on the left, which looks like a beautiful champagne colour, and the deep chocolate brown.
Recommended for fall and winter, these shades are the perfect gift for the make-up lover, or make-up newbie in your life.
What's on your Christmas wishlist this year?
