Current wishlist - makeup contemplations

As many other makeup lovers, I have an constant ongoing wish-list, which is ironically eyeshadow heavy, as that is my biggest vice in regards to makeup. Especially in the light that I do not use it every day and I already have several eyeshadow palettes in my stash already.

Charlotte Tilbury - Luxury eyeshadow palette - Pillow talk - 53 USD @Sephora

I have had my eye on this palette for quite some time, and in my opinion would be the most flattering eyehsadow palette out of Charlotte Tilbury's collection for my complexion and eyecolor. As pink and mauve eyeshadows suit me very well. And am I super curious to test out CT's formula.

KKW Beauty - Classic blossom eyeshadow palette - 45 USD @kkwbeauty.com

I have been very curious about the KKW Beauty eyeshadow formula, last year I was curious about the KKW Classic palette, but when I got a chance to swatch it in Ulta last year, I realized that the original Classic palette was very warm, and as I already have two warm leaning palettes I opted out from buying that last year. 

Huda Beauty - Nude obsessions eyeshadow palette - Nude light - 29 USD @Sephora

At first I was interested in the Huda Beauty New Nudes eyeshadow palette, but I thought it was a bit too big, and contained too similar colors. So when Huda brought out this 9 shade palette I was smitten, as this smaller palette contains more of the pink hues, without the dark pink colours that the New Nudes palette contained (and I would rarely use from the New Nudes palette). This also like the New Nudes palette contains a bit of similar colors, but it does contain similar colors I do really love, and I could see myself use all the colors (except the lilac colour, in the middle of the first row - that I would use the absolute least of)

Huda Beauty - Desert dusk eyeshadow palette - 65 USD @Sephora

I am genuinely super curious about the Huda Beauty brand, as it is the fastest growing Beauty Brand in the world today. This versus the small palette, the small one is super convenient and handy, but a bit mono-chromatic in a way so it crossed my mind that maybe I should go for one of the bigger palettes, and from Huda's collection the Desert dusk is the most versitile (both warm and cool), and not too extreme in colors, plus I just love the names in the palette, Nefertiti, and Turkish delight. But on the downside, I rarely go for bigger palettes, and prefer smaller ones - ohh the dilemma.

Caia Cosmetics - Biibz signature eyeshadow palette - 52 EUR @Caia Cosmetics

This was the first product from the relatively young Swedish beauty company Caia. It is not the cheapest of palettes, and has some mixed reviews, but I am super curious about the brand, and it's eyeshadow formula. And would love to support an upcoming Scandinavian brand.

Charlotte Tilbury - Eyes to mesmerize - Marie Antoinette/Jean - 32 USD @Sephora

This is a gorgeous product, but omg the price point is up there, sadly now this is not available in store at Sephora anymore, so I might have to venture to Nordstrom to compare the two colors that are most appealing to me, because god forbid, I will not buy two cream eyeshadow products int 2020, already owning five cream eyeshadows in my stash.

Tom Ford - Eye quad - 03 Nude dip - 88 USD @Sephora

I have contemplated about the Tom ford palettes, and from a distance, I prefer the wet dry formula, and the nude dip appeals to me, even though it seems to be a super subtle eye-quad. Though I do like it, I seriously doubt that I will buy this quad this year, but it has been and will continue to be on my radar, and as Tom Ford brings out new quads, I will constantly compare them to this palette, and we will see if another one appeals more to me in the future. Plus I have heard that Tom Ford items are not as expensive in the UK, so I will for sure not buy it untill I go to England, if the rumour is true.

Have you tried any of these? How did you like them?

I for sure have to cut this list down, I think (at this point in time) I am least inclined to purchase the Huda Beuaty Desert Dusk palette, simply due to the fact I love to use smaller palettes. I still am super interested in the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow talk pallette, but at the same time wonder if I could get the same look using the Huda Beauty Nude Obsessions Nude Light palette, plus a few different looks for a considerable better price point than the Charlotte Tilbury.

I think I have also talked myself out of the Caia Cosmetics Bibbz palette, as it is quite expensive for what it is, and having to pay shipping and tax-import fees when it would arrive to Iceland is also influencing my decision.

Given the fact that I had set out to only purchase two eyeshadow palettes in 2020 (as a part of my beauty goals for 2020) it will probably be the KKW Beauty Classic Blossom (unless their new launch Classic II appeals more to me) and then it will be either Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk palette or the Huda Beauty Obsessions Nude light palette.
