Urban Decay gets NAKED again!

Hello beauts! Hope you're all well.

Today I got a nice surprise form the postman, No not an early valentines, even better than that!

Yum!

To the swatches! As I've come to expect from Urban Decay the shadows are highly pigmented and creamy, all but one. Foxy is absolutely awful. Terrible colour pay off and just a powdery, chalky mess to be honest.

Left to right

Foxy (hmmm), Half Baked, Booty Call and Chopper.

Left to right.

Tease, Snakebite, Suspect and Pistol.

Left to right.

Verve, YDK, Busted and Blackout. Black out is a matt black ala Carbon, but its caught some of the sparkles from the other eyeshadows.

The full size double sided brush is a nice addition.

We also get a mini Lip Junkie gloss in Naked, of course. Pretty colour and it smells yummy like peppermint. Tingly goodness!

Hope the swatches have been helpful if you are still undecided!

You definitely don't "need" this palette if you have the original but I would say it's different enough. I am a bit miffed they put Half baked in it. I mean really, it's in almost every palette. STOP IT!

The Falsies vs Voluminous!

My eyelashes have been going through a very thin and lifeless stage at the moment

which has been quite depressing to say the least!

So to cheer myself up and try and encourage some much needed oomph into my lashes

I brought this!

It's on sale at Superdrug at the moment for £5.99.

This is not a proper review as I have not yet worn it out, but I thought I would do

a little comparison photo with everyones favourite, Loreal Voluminous!

Right eye - 3 coats Voluminous in carbon black

Left eye - 3 coats The Falsies in black..

I think the "full fringe" brush on The Falsies has done exactly what it said on the tin,

the outer and inner corners are much er...more there than with the Voluminous and it seems to have kept the curl better. I also think the black is slightly deeper.

So for now 1-0 to The Falsies

Hurrah!

Lips

The colour came out totally wrong on the photos, in real life it's much more

purpley and more like Megan's.

PLEASE excuse the planet sized spot on my chin, as you know

I've been under a lot of stress recently and that always makes me brake out..

Yeah cheers for that universe.

Megan's top lip it quite rounded where as mine is like two pointy triangles so I just smoothed it over my cupids bow.

Lashings of Lashes!

Please excuse hair plats, Pajamas and bed!
This was taken at about four am when we got back from my friends birthday drinks last week.

As I have said before I am a false lash feind and will wear them everyday if I have the time.
I picked up these ones in Superdrug the other day. I think they were around £4/5 each.
Eyelure are doing some beautiful L/E Tokyo lashes atm, really pretty, I brought the blue feather ones and wore them to a mates birthday (see above!). The girls loved em, well worth a tenner!
I have been wearing eyelure lashes for years and never had any problems <3.

Mac Mineralize Eye Shadow - Illusionary Burning Ambition

One word to sum this up?
Gorgeous!
It's huge as well..
The same size as the Grand Duo blushes (of which I brought three, but thats another post!)
I Used it today and I really like how it came out.




I Used MAC Painterly paint pot as a base, Loreal Voluminous mascara, which I'm not
actually that keen on to be honest, and a tiny bit of Rimmel liquid eyeliner.
I Should have spent more time on the eyeliner but I wanted a really quick look
and I didn't really want the shadow to be swamped by tons of black eyeliner.
I'm a huge fan of winged eyeliner and wear it everyday, but I liked the shadow so much
I thought I would take it easy for once.
Underneath the eye I just smudged a bit of MAC Teddy eye kohl with my finger.


pretty pretty!

Brow set in Show off


209 Brush + Fluidline = Amazing!
As I wear black eyeliner everyday and have so far been very loyal to my
Rimmel Exaggerate liquid liner and not found anything that I like using as much
I decided that I must move with the times and get funky with gel.
I did and I love it!


I was very tempted by Henna, Femme fi, Knight, Top knot and 100 Strokes
but they all looked like some Urban Decay ones I already have so I didn't bother.
