Urban Decay Naked palette review with swatches

A few weeks ago I finally purchased the Urban Decay Naked2 palette I'd been eyeing for a while and within a few days I'd ordered the original naked palette too. I was so impressed with the pigmentation of the shadows that I was instantly hooked! I wasn't planning on buying the Naked3 as it has more rose and pink type shades which don't suit me as much but I have a feeling the urge to complete the set will force me to get it anyway :) The original and Naked2 palettes really do live up to the hype in my opinion.


Here's a closer look at the Naked Palette - check out my review of the Naked2 here

The first thing I noticed when I opened the box is

Urban Decay Naked 2 pallete - first look and swatches

To say I'm late to the party would be an understatement but I've finally bought myself an Urban Decay Naked pallete. I've been admiring them for quite some time now but the main reason I haven't given in and bought one is due to my love of MAC eyeshadows.

Mac paint pots - review

I've been loving my mac paint pots recently and they're especially great when I'm in a bit of a rush.

Smashbox fade to black eyeshadow pallete review

I spotted this pallete from Smashbox called fade to black and it had 50% off so I got it for £16 rather than £32. Obviously it was a great deal but I still found it hard to part with the £16 when I know I have my beloved Mac shadows at home :)

I love the

New eyelash gadget

Helloooooo,

I just had to do a quick post to tell you about my nifty new eyelash gadget. It's an accent eyelash curler which is basically a tiny version of a regular eyelash curler which makes it much easier to curl individual lashes

My top 10 Mac eyeshadows

It's no secret that I LOVE my Mac eyeshadows. I reach for them on a daily basis more than any of my other shadows or pallets and they are so long lasting and easy to blend. At £10 each for the refill pans they are a little expensive and it's taken me a while to build up my collection. I often ask for Debenhams vouchers for my birthday and Christmas and use them to get a few new ones. I bought the 15 pan empty pallet and I also have a couple of the 4 pan pallets that I use for travelling

Anyway, onto
