Eyeshadow palettes are my Achilles Heel. I love them. Can't get enough of them. I need to have all the colours. All the textures. Every time a new palette enters my life I find myself hoping it will be different, more interesting, better than the last. I can't lie. There have been a fair few fails, but there's been some delightful discoveries along the way. So who can be blamed/thanked for this addiction of mine? You guys! It was the reviews on Beauty Review and the chat on the forum that saw me lured into the palette life. So what are the Top Rated* eyeshadow palettes as voted by you? Check these beauties out!

They say: The most anticipated sequel of the decade. Naked2 has 12 pigment-rich, taupe and greige neutral eyeshadows. Our palette proves once again, neutral is anything but boring, (and is downright sexy when worn Naked). Feast your eyes on our shades ranging from pale to deep, matte to sparkly. This collection lets you achieve lots of neutral looks, smoky dramatic eyes, and everything in between. Let's just say there's a whole new way to get Naked!
You say: I bought this a year ago and I have not used any other brand for eyeshadow. Very pigmented, easy to apply. The colours are versatile and can be used for neutral day make up and dressy night make up.

You say:
This is an ideal 'go to' palette for everyone - it lends itself perfectly to everything from barely there natural looks to daily glam right through to bold and smokey. The colours are highly pigmented and despite most of them being ultra matte they're silky smooth and easy to blend.
