One Week,One Palette Challenge: Juvia's Place Saharan II

Hi loves,
I'm back with another "one week, one palette" challenge with the Saharan II palette from Juvia's Place. It's a relatively new palette from the company that was inspired by the Saharan desert,  the Mosaics, Colours and Spices of Morocco. Th e formula of these shadows different from previous palettes but the quality and pigmentation is excellent; the mattes have soft velvet feel and the metallics and duo-chromes feel silky to the touch.

As with my previous palette,

• My lid base is the Urban Decay Primer Potion in Caffeine
• Eyeliners are all from Essence cosmetics
• Mascara is either Maybelline Colossal Big Shot Mascara and L'Oreal False Lash Wings
• On my face is the Stila One Step Illuminate and the NYX Cosmetics #nofilter Powder in Cocoa
• Light contouring or bronzing is done with Fez in the Saharan II palette and Aby in the Saharan Blush Palette Vol I

One Week,One Palette Challenge: Juvia's Place Nubian II

Hi peeps,
So occasionally, I like to challenge myself to use one palette to come up with multiple looks without using any other palette or eye shadow. It's a way for me to get maximum use and enjoyment out of my palette, since I spent all my hard-earned coin on these 😊

I decide to start the Nubian II palette from Juvia's Place. Out of all my palettes, this is the one I use the most. It's got good transition colours, two dark colours for a smoky eye and gorgeous jewel tones. Sometimes, I like to use the dark shades Kenya and Leyla for contour (cautiously with a light fluffy brush!) and I use Zuri and Sheba as highlighters (with a fan brush and a light hand 😉)I've compiled all my looks below, showing the shades used as well.
To prime my lids, I use the Urban Decay primer potion in Caffeine. I love how this creates a velvet even canvas on my lids. My eye makeup lasts all day without creasing or fading.
The eyeliners used for all these looks are from Essence cosmetics:
Black -Black love
Blue - Cool dawn
Green - I have a green
Purple - Purple rain

Look #1

Crease: Morocco
Outer Corner: Jezebel
Inner & Centre Lid: Nairobi
Centre lid: Nefertiti

On my lips is Black Up 2-in-1 Jumbo Lip Pencil in 08

Outer towards the centre lid: Jezebel

I've done many more looks with this palette; but these are the ones I came up during my challenge.
