So despite February being extra long this year (hello Leap Year!) I've still managed to put this off until the last possible minute. As a quick recap, every month I am purchasing a single MAC eyeshadow (in January I started with a base of 3 and then added 1 for January) such that by December 2016 I will have 15 eyeshadows for a completed 100% customized palette. This month I purchased "Woodwinked". Keep reading for my thoughts on this shadow!
Each single MAC shadow retails for $12 CAD ($19 if you need the case). The palette cost $10 and the insert was $3 (I think) for the 15 shadows. Bonus? I know I will love every single shadow in my palette. Con? Wanting to buy all of the shadows at once!
Woodwinked is described as a "warm antique gold" with a Veluxe Pearl finish. This warm, rosey gold swatches richly and would be flattering on a range of skin tones. I mainly intend for this shadow to be used on my lid, but I also think it could be a neat transition shade for rich purple shadow to get that sunset look that is all over my Instagram feed.
Funny story, I knew that this was the shadow I wanted for the month, but I had to go into my MACon three occasions to find it because it was super back ordered. I was pretty delighted when I finally got my hands on it!
Here is where my palette is so far! Right now I am thinking of having the top row as neutrals, the middle row as purples and the bottom row as a surprise! Any guesses? I'm having lots of fun putting my palette together, but I am also trying to resist the urge to plan it like a grid and instead to just buy whatever shadow catches my day that month. Wish me luck!
What shadows do you recommend I try next? I think I am in the market for an under brow highlight and a nice matte taupe... :)
