This is **Breakfast at Tilbury’s,** a franken palette.
August was a whirlwind! I took this palette travelling with me four times this month and it’s really, really great for that. The mirror is good, the packaging is solid and the eyeshadows still left suit me both for casual and more glammed-up occasions.
But, as you can see, the three eyeshadows left aren’t the same as in July. Because Sunny Side Up didn’t combine as well on its own with A Nice Cup of Tea and Toast of the Town, I decided to franken this palette to be more usable. I scraped all of Toast of the Town and combined it with some powder to make more of A Nice Cup of Tea, which is now almost overflowing. I also decided to repress eyeshadow no. 1 from Charlotte Tilbury’s Exxaggereyes palette into Toast of the Town’s place. I have renamed this shimmer into Honeycomb, to fit with the breakfast theme.
Toast of the Town was never my favourite eyeshadow in here, and I consider getting 60 uses on it throughout this year quite good, especially when combined with the previous years’ usage, I’ve had exactly 230 uses on it.
Because of this, I’m changing a few of my goals. I would like to re-hit pan on A Nice Cup of Tea, but I’m not going to be mad if I don’t manage to do it. I would also like to hit pan on Honeycomb by the end of the year. I think it might be possible because using it in combination with Sunny Side Up and A Nice Cup of Tea makes for a very beautiful and cohesive look and I can also use it as a highlighter. It is also very thin in the pan.
Sunny Side Up (shimmer) doesn’t really go the best with the matte on its own, but I’m happy to report that I’ve found a look that solves that. I’m using a medium coral matte (with a very light hand) in combination with A Nice Cup of Tea and it works like a charm. I also realised this is one of the prettiest (on me and to me) shimmers I own, so I’m happy it’s getting some more use.
**Goal for August:**
* use each eyeshadow x5 times
* I managed to do this relatively easily. I didn’t force myself to use eyeshadows, especially during my travels, so I’m glad the goal uses were so low. I’m also glad I managed to
**Uses this month and total uses this year in brackets:**
* Sunny Side Up x7 (63)
* A Nice Cup of Tea x15 (100)
* Honeycomb x15 (29)
**Goals for September:**
* reach 70 uses on Sunny Side Up
* use A Nice Cup of Tea x10
* hit pan on Honeycomb
