I think that some of the best make-up purchases are on the whim, An ooh that packaging looks so pretty or that colour is to die for moment!
I've never used much Natio Makeup, I did use one of their foundations in high school, but from what I can remember (forgive me it was a long time ago !) It wasn't that impressive :)
I've been a little dubious about cream eyeshadows, My eyelids are quite oily so I do have to prime quite heavily but HOO WAHH these are to die for!!

Marshmallow
So far I've been super impressed with these. First of all they are so versatile and they stay on for so long! My favourite would have to be the Marshmallow. Given that I am not a huge fan of pink, My shadow repertoire is full of neutrals and earthy tones, I surprised myself with this choice! It's just so damn nice by itself, theres no faffing about with shader brushes, crease brushes, packing brushes {I'm just making up words now- but you get my point!} It is simple and understated and my new go to!
The other two are lovely as well- Don't get me wrong, but they don't have the same WOW affect. I own a few matte browns in very similar colours so I've been using them more as a highlight over these than as an all over cover.

And who could resist a little multi-purpose blush and bronzer palette. Am I the only one that says blush and bronzer so fast when describing these that it sounds like one word? Probably. Anywho this is a handy little thing to have, mine has taken residence in the centre console of my car for quick touch-me-ups. The champagne and goldy colours are perfect for highlighting and give and instant glow to your face! On the blushy-side of things it's not as great as they don't really transfer much colour more like a little bit of tinted shimmer, which is fine for me as I'm usually pretty flushed! So if your looking for an uber-pigmented blush this probably isn't the best choice for you.
Safe to say I'm glad I stumbled across these and can't wait to see how they stand up to the Maybelline 24hr Tattoos! {Which I may have accidentally bought almost all of... oopsie}
ps. How yummy are do the names sound! It makes me think of shimmery cupcakes :)
You have a lovely blog! This is a great post, who doesn't love a splurge every now and again?
