Everyone’s favourite vlogging duo, Sam and Nic Chapman of Pixiwoos, has exciting news! Two limited edition make-up palettes are heading our way.
First up is Night Owl with everything you need for spectacular smoky eyes – smoky is a Pixiwoo speciality – with three long last shimmer shadows, a matte shadow, a dark gel liner, a perfect finish blush and a highlighter. Added to that, you’ll find two lip glosses. Almost a whole look in box, basically.
The second palette, Modern Natural, has the same number of contents, but different colour-ways – rich and sumptuous browns for velvety eyes and cheeks. It reminds me a little of Kim Kardashian’s smoky-milky-peachy daytime look.

The Real Techniques Make Up Palettes are both totally wearable and user-friendly palettes and a gorgeous entry into the colour category from Pixiwoos. Currently, these are only available in the US (but they will ship) so I’m hoping it’s part of a test-run for a fuller make-up range to come in the future. On the currency conversion, each palette is about £15 and you can find them HERE. Exciting times!
Shipping (from what I can tell on the site it looks like it’s only £1.04 to ship from US to UK in 4-10 working days – but do double check because that seems remarkable low).

That is exciting, thank you for the heads-up.

Modern Natural looks lovely x
I just ordered the Modern Natural Palette and shipping really was just $2.54. I’m from Germany and that is amazingly low. Expedited shipping would have been only $6, which is still a pretty good deal.
I need to stay away from your blog because every time I’m on here I find things I want to buy. I love the look of the Modern Natural kit!
Why would these be available to the US before the UK? Seems like a bit of a slap in the face to us Brits who have supported them for years. They are British girls as well for petes sake!
Exactly. That’s such a turn off 🙁
Real Techniques constantly look out for their american fans more so than the UK ones, the products are a fair amount cheaper out there, as well as them being available in the US first!
I think the products are manufactured in the US, and the postage is no more expensive than it would be in the UK – if it is a ‘test run’ so to speak then maybe the US market is the trickier one and therefore a better place to trial new products. It’s a bit of a wait though if the postage does take 10 days!
Yeah Rebecca I’ve got to say that went through my mind as well.
The palettes were made available worldwide, to everyone, at the same time! They just happen to be made and shipped from the US! If you watch the announcement on YouTube the girls are quite clear that they wanted everyone to be able to get them at the same time.
Mine cost about $3 to ship to Singapore, can’t see why people are complaining to be honest!
These look beautiful! Going to be investing in the Night Owl palette, what gorgeous colours! Please take a look at my beauty blog – http://www.littlemissmakeupblog.wordpress.com
