So Santa Clause being the babe that he is brought me a Manly 120 Palette this Christmas...Here's a review:
For those who don't know, the Manly 120 Palette (Pronouced Mun-Lee) is an eyeshadow pallete with 120 colours...straightforward enough eh? It can be purchased on eBay for a surprisingly reasonable price. This is what had me sketchy about it, but we'll get to that later.
(Apologies for this being sideways, blogger seems to hate me... and also apologies for the grubbiness, I, being myself, couldn't resist getting my annoying fingerprints all over the thing)
So when it arrived it was all wrapped up in bubble wrap.
When I finally retrived the pallette after unrolling layers and layers of the damn stuff, I found a note saying that they could not give me the 8 Gift Brushes promised, as there was none left -which I was bummed about because I needed some- but instead, gave me some other goodies...
(This is sideways too...its not mean't to be...)
SO! Instead of the 8 brushes, I received false eyelashes, (You can only see the packaging because I'm an idiot and wore them today, before doing this) Some glitter pots, and a mini pack of 5 brushes...
The glitter pots...
Here is the little packet that the brushes came in...The make is "Jenny" I've never heard of it but if you have, yay for you.
They're all mini brushes but they're quite good quality...I'm happy that they didn't try to fod me off with some 'magazine gift'-quality things
Now on to the actual pallette...
I found out about these things on Make-up Bee and decided to go and see for myself. When I saw that it was €23, I grew skeptical and scourged the internet for reviews. They were generally positive, the only problem was that some people had recived the pallette damaged, but I assumed that had to do with shipping and not the pallette itself.
The pallette is divided into 2 removable trays, both include a mix of shimmery and matte colours of every shade. This is a little overwhelming when you open it up at first, (but in a good way.)
However, the shadows are fragile and break quite easily, which explains the damaged pallettes that I read about.
[If you decide to buy this, and it ends up damaged, it is super easy to fix...Find out how, here]

The colours are really nicely pigmented and blend wonderfully...I haven't got around to trying all of the colours but I have come across only 2 colours that don't really show up on my skin as they should...
TRAY NUMBER 1: Here, you can find neutral shades on the left and right side of the pallette This is my favourite tray as it contains my favourite colours along with some browns for everyday use. It also includes 2 whites: one shimmery and one matte. (This is handy because white seems to run out easily.
(Sorry a bit of the corner is missing here...I seem to be apologising a lot)
TRAY NUMBER 2: So here, brighter colours can be found...I don't know how many blues they think people need...goodness...But anyway, again, there is a mix of shimmery and matte colours which I love.
OVERALL: This pallette has some really really gorgeous shades for every thing from school to a night out.
To be honest, I don't think I'll bother with any other pallettes again...The shadows are so pigmented and are such good quality, not to mention the range of colours.
