UD Naked Palette + NARS Sheer Glow FOTD

Hey Guys!
This past week I received my Urban Decay Naked Palette in the mail as well as I decided to jump the NARS Sheer Glow bandwagon and pop by my local Sephora to purchase one of these bad boys ($60!!!!). I'm absolutely in L♥VE with both of these products. Urban Decay's Naked Palette is my favourite palette I own (by any brand) and NARS Sheer Glow may happen to be my new HG foundation! It actually looks like SKIN, not caked on makeup! I will be posting reviews on both of these products in the weeks to come. I want to get good use out of them first before I give a proper review.

REVIEW: Urban Decay Naked Palette

I've been meaning to do this post FOREVER since I got this palette a while ago when it first came out. My review is simple: my favourite palette I own! If you have a hard time finding this palette at your local Sephora, don't worry because they will keep restocking it since it is a permanent item. You get 12 wonderfully pigmented colours, with a variety of finishes, which you can create many different looks with. It is a neutral palette, but you can create smokey night time looks with it as well. You also get a double ended 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil with Zero (black) and Whiskey (brown). I've been using the Zero end so much that I need to go out and buy myself a full size one. It's my favourite black eye pencil EVER (beating out my beloved L'Oreal Extra Intense Liquid Pencil and Stila Eye Kajal)! It stays on all day and doesn't smear or smudge around my eyes. I don't have to touch it up and it looks just as good at the end of the day as it does when I first put it on. The only thing I don't like about this palette is that the casing is covered in velvet and can get dirty really easily.

Some Of My Fave's From Urban Decay

Other than my beloved Holy Grail Urban Decay Primer Potion, Urban Decay have so many wonderful products. Here is a few of my favourites.....


Ammo Palette, is a mirrored palette with a gorgeous variety of 10 eye shadows infested with intense pigment and glitz.
There is not a single shade in this palette I do not like!

Smog, Mildew, Oil Slick, Last Call, Chopper


Maui Wowie, Shattered, Polyester Bride, Grifter, Sin,


Deluxe Eyeshadow in Fishnet - Urban Decay describes this as a 'Iridescent Purple' though I would describe this as a Violet Pink with Blue Pearl. I love the consistency of this shadow, very smooth and intense.


Eyeshadow in Envy - Which is a long discontinued shade I adore. There will never be a as pretty metallic marine blue as this!


24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils- Ah these are beautiful, the best pencils I have come across by far, sorry Gosh Velvet touch liners you're just a bit behind! They do exactly as they say, and they're so intensely creamy.
Top to Bottom- Baked, Lust, Electric, Covet, Dime, Zero, 1999.


Lipstick in Voodoo- This is described as a 'Dark Pink' which I think is more on the lines as a 'Sheer Red' It is a wonderful formulation, that is moisturizing, but not 'slidey around your mouthy' The only thing I don't get is when they said it 'is infused with a decadent crème caramel scent and flavor' which I think it's smells more like licorice and the taste is a little bitter, but not too bad. I'll put up with it because I love the shade and texture so much....and of course the packaging! I'll hope I'd possibly get Confession lipstick soon. :D

2010'un Favorileri

Urban Decay Book Of Shadows III NYC

MAC Beauty Marked Eyeshadow

On the MAC site, they describe this as a 'Deep Blackened red with a sparkle/twilight effect (Velvet)

To me it appears more like, the deepest brown with pinked plum micro glitters.
It's a tad gritty but once it appears on the skin it's very smooth and blendy!

Here is my EOTD, 'before filling in my brows' and yes there is one of my long hairs on it, for some reason this always happens to me ha ha. It's also strange that my eye colour appears green, but in fact it's a light blue. Anyway I'll stop chattering away with my defects and tell you what I used.

Urban Decay Eye Primer Potion
Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner Black
Bloom Eskimo- On the brow bone & inner corners
Sleek Nightlife- on the outer corners and blended through the crease.
MAC Beauty Marked- Main colour which is blended up towards the brow bone.

And swatch...
Oh yes, if any of you lovely readers have tips on taking better EOTD's please tell me, it will greatly be appreciated.

URBAN DECAY NAKED PALETTE

I couldn't Live Without......

Or say farewell to these products!

Everyday Minerals Foundation (Semi-Matte Base)
Before this i never used to wear foundation.
Why? I never liked the feeling of it, or couldn't find a exact match anywhere.
When i came across this 'mineral' site i was stunned. So many shades available, and so many pale shades to choose from too. I've never looked back since.
As you know mineral makeup doesn't feel like your actually wearing makeup, easily blended. Quick and easy for a hectic life. Check out their kabuki brushes too they are incredibly soft and never lose their softness, no matter how many times you wash them.


Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel
This won't budge! It's perfect for giving my brows extra oomph everyday. I haven't come across another brand that has the same hue and formula as this.


Revlon ColorStay Liquid Liner in Blackest Black
So I never got into the whole 'Potted gel liner' thing. I can't get into the texture or the fact that isn't as convenient to use. Anyhow this little fellow has been with me for a long time now, being the luxurious 'Blackest Black' and it's not going anywhere. It doesn't seem to have the horrible flaking that some liquid liners have. This has the felt tip at the end, I really can't get on with brushes as much.


L'Oreal Touche Magique (Anti-Fatigue Illuminating Concealer)
Like the cheaper version of YSL Touche Eclat, which I've never wanted, hence the price tag, I've heard bad things about it like 'black mould appearing on the brush suddenly'
Anyway i love L'Oreal's version!
I am a night owl with a 4 year old son, so this helps to hide the tiredness!


Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
Last but not least....
This is a worldwide favourite, and boy would I be scared to wear eyeshadow without this stuff!
It does everything it claims and more! I promise I'll never stray!
