Usually each Halloween I like to make sure I buy some new gothic, Halloween’s, horror make up. And this year I opted for the Plouise Sept budget box which arrived second week of October. (Exactly while we were away and busy) so sadly it couldn’t be used or taken on holiday)

It was a mystery which of the two Hocus Pocus Halloween palettes you’d get, but you’d get one palette and some lip balm and oil. (I gave those away to my daughter so I can’t review or show here) the budget box cost £30 but the palette alone is £35 with other products ranging from £10 to £18 each making the value of the box over £50 so worth taking the risk on.

Using photos from their website, so photo credit to Plouise to show their palette off as it should be viewed. It’s stunning!!

It has a metal heart lock and key, you have to unlock the padlock to gain entry. Palette is shaped like a bound book, with a huge mirror and 18 shades on the front. Turn the book over and open at the back you have another huge full length mirror and another 18 shades, we have shimmers, Matte, and Glitters, with transition shades too. Huge value for money.

Honestly I would have preferred the Black book as some shades are so like my Jeffree Star Cremated Palette, and it’s darker over all, but I will either buy it at a later date, using black Friday deals, or just brave some colours for once!

I will say they can stain pretty bad, especially reds and purples, took some shifting with make up wipes. But all deep reds and purples stain.

Not the best photos but I’m new to that. I used the colours Grave Danger an orange, and Spell Check the gold glitter. Ghoul gang darkest burgundy for eye liner.
