Urban Decay Haul

Hello Everyone!

Recently I was a bit naughty and I had a rather spontaneous Urban Decay splurge. As you may be able to tell from my previous posts I love my NAKED pallet, so I wanted some more and accidentally ended up buying all of them oops. Lets start the haul...

The first thing that I bought was the first NAKED pallet. I already have one of these ones but I have hit pan on the majority of the shades so I bought myself a new one so that my love for it can continue.

Next thing was the NAKED 2 pallet. I think the colours in this pallet are gorgeous they are very warm, neutral tones and some are beautifully shimmery and all of the colours in these pallets are very well pigmented with or without primer.

Then was, yep... you guessed it, the NAKED 3 pallet, these are the more shimmery, goldy, pinky shades and they are very beautiful and I am very excited to experiment with all of these colours.

Lastly for the NAKED pallets is the SMOKEY NAKED pallet. I bought this for my mum on her birthday and I fell in love with the colours so I had to buy myself one it is lovely. It's more of a night time going out pallet but I love it none the less and I'm sure I will use it loads!

I then bought the Gwen Stefani pallet and I have to admit I was most excited for this one to arrive because I have heard so many people raving about it and when I saw the pallet, I can definitely see why. I have to be honest I'm not sure how I will use the pink, blue and green shades but I will try my best to figure something out because the colours are sooooo pretty.

Lastly I bought the primer potion face primer because I've also heard good things about this, so I wanted to try it out for myself. Although my foundation stays on my face pretty well throughout the day, it does tend to crease and go a bit shiny around the five hour mark, so I wanted to try this and see if it solves all of my wrinkly foundation issues.

That is everything that I bought from Urban Decay. I hope you enjoyed seeing everything that I bought!

Thank you so much for reading ! :) <3

Urban Decay NAKED palette Review

Hello Everyone!!

I've been wanting to do a review on this for a while but I wanted to make sure that I used it a lot to get a fair opinion on it!

I was always quite sceptical of the naked palettes because they are priced at around
£36.00 (it may have gone up now but that was how much it was when I bought it) but I was sure that you could find a high-street/drug-store dupe that was just as good, however after hearing so many people raving about how amazing it is I decided to buy it and it did not disappoint! I use this palette every day, I LOVE IT.

This palette contains 12 colours that you would easily be able to achieve multiple looks with. 10 of the colours are shimmery ans 2 of them are matte with the tiniest bit of glitter in them. The palette also comes with a make up brush however I do not use it.

All of the colours in the palette are extremely pigmented ( I will leave pictures of swatches below) even without primer, obviously they would be a bit brighter with primer but you could easily go without which I think is very hard to find especially in a high-street/drug-store brand of eye-shadow. The product also stays put for hours however is very easily removed with make up remover or wipes.

The colours in this palette are: browns, golds, pinks, purples and greys therefore many looks can be achieve from a glam golden goddess eye look to a dark smoky party look.

I will include some different pictures of me wearing the eye-shadows down below.

The colours that I use for my everyday make up are: Virgin (to highlight brow bone) Sin (to highlight the inside corners of my eyes) side car (eyelid) Half Baked (blended next to Side Car on eyelid)

Smog (blended next to Half Baked on eye lid) and Dark Horse (blended into crease).

All though this palette is not cheap it lasts an extremely long time! I've had mine for a year and I haven't even hit pan on any colours yet, this is amazing considering I use it every day, as well as this all of the colours look exactly the same on your eyes as they do in the palette so I think it's definitely worth the price! and I will be purchasing the other palettes too!

If you have any requests on what you would like me to blog about next then please lave a comment below :)
