Neve Makeup Delight Palette: Special Edition

Fans of buttery smooth eye shadows in rich, opulent shades are in for a treat with the launch of a new Italian palette that we expect to fly off the shelves!  Neve Makeup Delight is a Special Edition Palette of ten highly pigmented eye shadows, designed in collaboration with Italian makeup artist and beauty blogger, Giuliana Arcarese.
As Artistic Director, Giuliana directed the palette’s development at every stage, from colours and textures to design and packaging.  We’re thrilled to see an increasing number of brands work with bloggers in this way and hope to see more of it in the future. 

”The ten colors recount the adventures of a Sicilian makeup artist in America, with a heart suspended between two continents and eyes always looking for new beauty.”

NCLA AW 2013: Prized Possessions, Cookies & Gold

We’re loving the new NCLA colours so much we couldn’t resist giving you a closer look - aren’t they stunning?!

Prized Possessions reminds us of peacock feathers when it twinkles in the light!  Its royal purple base looks blue in some lights and is filled with emerald, turquoise, purple and silver glitter in a mix of small pieces and bigger hexagons.  Easily buildable, above left is two coats of glitter and on the right, a single coat.   We thinks this works beautifully alone but it can also be used as a top coat over another shade and looks especially good over navy, such as Call Me for the After Party. 

Cookies and Gold makes us think of ice cream with sprinkles and twinkly snowflakes! This contains multiple sized glitter in fuchsia, gold, electric blue and silver - all set in a milky white base, which makes its speckled effect look part cloudy, part shimmery. We’re mesmerised!

These beauties contain no nasties, so wear them as often as you like without fear of damaging your nails.
