If there’s one makeup product I love beyond anything – it’s eyeshadow palettes. I love eyeshadow palettes and I own quite a few of them. I love how they offer countless opportunities and give room to creativity – you can’t say the same of a foundation or a lipstick.

One of my biggest palettes with tons of colours is NYX Beauty School Dropout Freshman palette. It has 32 eyeshadows and 12 colours for face (blush, highlight, bronzer). It’s perfect for someone, who loves big palettes with lots of different colours. It’s also great for someone, who appreciates a palette, that does it all – eyes, face and brows – because obviously you can use the eyeshadows on your brows too.

I thought it would be fun to use this palette four days in a row and combine all the makeup looks in one post. It was also a challenge for myself – owning so many palettes I sometimes forget to use some of them or I don’t give the palettes their opportunity to show their full potential. So here are my four makeup looks done with the NYX Beauty School Dropout Freshman palette.

If you are looking for tutorials, you can find my tutorials done with the palette HERE and HERE.

Look 1 – Classic look with neutrals

Basically a very classic look with neutral colors. I love that shimmer color on my lid! The red lipstick is my go-to.

Look 3 – Lilac & cool-toned

This was actually the first makeup I did for this challenge. Very cool-toned, lilac look. I love purple any day. My skin looked worse here, because I used a very light coverage on that. And also, it looked particularly red that day, thanks to being a woman.

NYX Beauty School Dropout Freshman Palette

My week has been pretty awesome and let me tell you why.

(Don’t be alarmed, that it starts bad. Most good things always seem to start from something bad.)

First of all, at the beginning of this week my stomach was hurting like hell. I had some problems sleeping, so I was already tired and besides that – anxious – for feeling like I couldn’t get anything done. You know, one of those days? They usually come with the monthly surprise of craving chocolate and wanting to hide under a blanket. You get it.

There are days when I give in and take that day off. When it’s needed. But this time, I tried something different: I said to myself: ‘You can just watch motivational or positive videos from youtube. That’s it. You don’t have to do anything.’

So I took a cup of coffee, had some gingerbread (how does it taste so delicious right before and right after Christmas?) and took a nice position on the sofa.

And then I listened to Michael Hyatt telling me, how he – as a successful businessman and a blogger – often (not sometimes) feels, like there’s nothing in his head and he can not write a single word.

He also said, never to give up. That you’re so close, don’t give up. Whatever you do, don’t give up.

I don’t know if it was the warm coffee or the motivational speech that helped me, but after that I’ve been able to do the things, I always seem to leave to someday. But there is not a better day than today. Today is someday. I wrote my blog. I cleaned up the kitchen. I painted my toenails. I planned a date. I ran uphill.

Motivation is not usually my problem, but on a bad day, a splash of positivity can do wonders.
And a nap with a protein chocolate bar (“healthier” version of chocolate).

January – I think I’m starting to like you more every day.

P.S. I take that back. You can’t compare chocolate to other things. I’m sorry, chocolate. #teamrealchocolate
