So, it happened... a dream came true last Saturday! I couldn't ask for better company, a long time friend that I can call a sister, who shares the same passion for makeup and for the longest time the same dream of going to IMATS one day!

I went and I spent all day there... 7:30am I was in the queue and left at 5pm when it was closing down. I had the time of my life, saw one of my all time favourite makeup artists perform - Alex Box -  and of course got loads of makeup! That I'm sure is what brings you here today!!!

Highlighters are everywhere and even thou I don't own the amazing Champagne Pop or Soft & Gentle I still managed to grab a good variety of them that I love but... just wait for IMATS, something tells me I will come home with a few more...

From liquid to powder there's plenty of options, some more affordable than others, and for the most part differing in shade and intensity!

I managed to downsize to my favourites to 8, no judgments, I honestly love each one of these can't really skip any.

The shade selection is nothing that special, I own most of these shades in other palettes but still, it is a nice combination if you love warm shadows - like I do - since it's only 15£! Not much harm to the wallet!

Packaging, is slim cardboard, closes on magnets and has a decent size to it, good for travelling for sure! It comes with 10 round pan eyeshadows with 1,5g each, varying from matte to shimmery finishes with some pops of colours between the neutrals!

My big disappointment with this is the fall out and colour pay off! As the Vice 4 I need to do eyes before face when using this, which is a bit of a pain since I don't like to start with that, when I'm in a hurry, but oh well, it has to be this way otherwise I end up with my face full of eyeshadow!

Most of the shades are my cup of tea, the ones I like the least are Beans Are White and Infusion, the two darker shades that look the same... Colour pay off is not up to my standards of good, I pack colour and the more I pack seems the more I'm taking off... it happened with higher end palettes before, I'm not saying it's due to the price or brand itself, just this particular palette, as it's the only one I own by the brand, doesn't show up as much as I'd like to on my eyes.

Still I love most of the shades, starting with Bitter Start as the perfect brow bone shade and Sweeter End to the inner corner! Substitute For Love and Freshly Toasted are also amazing for the crease, but still I would grab Cocoa Bear and Frappe from Makeup Geek first...

As you can see by the swatches the shimmery ones show up better than the matte ones, even thou Infusion lacks on pigmentation and the shimmer is barely noticeable! 

I'm 100% sure everyone on the blogging community has at least one product they bought because of other blogger or youtuber. I'm no different but instead of doing a 'youtube made me buy it' kinda post I'm being more realistic and sharing with you what NikkieTutorials influenced me to buy. Why Nikkie? Easy! My favourite youtuber of all time and the one I trust to recommend me things.

Zoeva is the brush brand of the moment so let's be honest every blogger and their mother has at least one of the sets or individual brushes in their collections! 

I have the Complete Eye Set since July 2014 and I've used it non stop since then. It comes with 12 brushes and a bag for the price of 60€ which is super affordable in my opinion. They're all soft and some are denser than others but it has to do with their purpose. These do not shed and are a dream to wash! (excuse the not so clean ones it only shows how much I use them!)
