I think makeup palettes are essential at Christmas, they are perfect to give as gifts, to help you product your Christmas look and the more inexpensive ones are fabulous stocking fillers!
This is palette is nice because it has a variety of colours and includes both eyeshadows and lip glosses. I also think the slightly grungy but still glamours image on the from is stunning!

Strictly Latin Look Book
Surprisingly this is one of my favourite palettes, the colours are very wintry but still extremely wearable and it comes with eyeshadows, blushers and lipglosses. Its a perfect product to carry around in your purse and is great for someone less experienced in makeup as it comes with a step by step guide.

Studio Look Book Mini Smokey Eyes
If you love smokey eyes then you’ll love this palette! It has four baked eyeshadows perfect to create a dramatic eye and includes a glitter eyeliner perfect for any party. Don’t forget an extra coat of mascara for extra drama. Also I have a great tip coming up about glitter eyeliners and party eyes so keep an eye out!

Urban Decay Naked Palette
If you are looking to give a eyeshadow palette to one of your friends or sister then the Urban Decay Palette is essential as it has 12 basic eyeshadows every girl needs and they are all top quality! If they are slightly more daring try one of the other Urban Decay Palettes such as the Book Of Shadows.

Ive got two of my friends the MUA heaven and Earth palette and my mum the NAKED palette!! xx
these all look amazing, I wish I was more creative with my eye make-up. Maybe it'll be a new years resolution aha x
The Painted Lady reminds me of Lady Gaga! Those are nice palettes, thank you!
I had a nail varnish set and eye-shadow set by Frontcover last year and absolutely love them! I'd be happy if I received any of the palettes above.

I recently bought the naked palette and I absolutely love it!!! I just bought some sleek palettes too, they're really great!
I'm totally obsessed with make-up palettes, but as I never receive any for Christmas I tend to just gift them to myself!

The Umberto Giannini's packaging looks so pretty! I wonder if the pigmentation, staying power, etc., is as good as it looks!
I have a few MUA and Sleek pallates, and I have to admit the Sleek ones have the edge for staying power and pigmentation. x
Oh!I want all,Umberto Giannini Painted Lady cute packaging particularly!
Ohh I've never seen the Umberto Giannini palette before. It looks like a lovely design and colours I'd actually use. Although I'm never a fan of lip glosses in a palette as I rarely use them! Great choices.

I never heard of most of the brands, so thanks for sharing!
I was going to get my little sister the Naked2 but I knew she'd never use it. I don't have many friends as obsessed with makeup as me.
front colour eye shadows are so bad, i really dont like them haha but the Lip Palette looks amazing tbh haha
