urban decay naked 2 palette

I'm not typically an eyeshadow girl and usually favour a bright lip over a smoky eye but recently I've been playing around with my Urban Decay Naked palettes in an effort to get a little more creative with my make up. The colours in this palette are really wearable and easy to work with, I like to use the original Naked palette for night time looks and the Naked 2 for daytime. My favourite shade in this palette is 'bootycall' which I love using as a highlight on the inner corner of my eye as it's a beautiful pearly white shimmer. I'd definitely recommend having a look at both palettes as they are full of stunning colours and perfect to take on holiday as they include a brush too.

URBAN DECAY NAKED 2 PALETTE - £36

current make-up #9

Bonjour lovelies. Lately I've been wearing the following make up look, it's still a fairly natural look but I've been venturing into wearing smoky grey eyeshadow which I think goes really well with pink lips, dewy foundation and contoured cheeks. I'm also still in love with Benefit 'they're real' mascara which lasted me six months before having to buy a new tube. Pretty much everything feature in this post are firm favourites of mine and I highly recommend getting your hands on them all. I had my hair in a messy bun also which you can't tell from the picture but I find it the perfect style to keep my hair in at the minute.

urban decay reviews

Hello beautiful people. Today I'm going to do some short and sweet reviews of some of Urban Decay's most popular products.

Eyeshadow in 'Sin'- £13.00

This is a really great neutral shade and makes a perfect warm highlight colour for either on the brow bone or the inner corner of your eye. The quality of the shadow is amazing and therefore in my opinion is worth the price tag, I love the packaging of their shadows too.

Eyeshadow Primer Potion - £14.50

I think pretty much anyone who's clued up on beauty products already knows how good the primer potion is, but for those that don't you basically apply a small amount across your eyelid before using eye shadow to make the pigment stronger and to make the look last longer. It has also recently been repackaged and I personally much prefer the tube to the pot that it used to come in as it's a lot easier to just squeeze it out. Definitely something you need in your life if you wear a lot of eye shadow. 

Glide-on Eye Pencil in 'Binge' - £13.00

Another product that Urban Decay are famed for is their pencil eyeliners due to the high pigmentation and long lasting wear. The liner applied really well and although it's really creamy it still manages to stay put all day which is really impressive. The midnight blue colour is beautiful too especially if you have hazel coloured eyes.

Complexion Primer Potion - £18.00

I've been using this for a few months now under my foundation and it makes a great alternative to a thick moisturiser and adds a lovely glow to my skin. I also found that it made my foundation much easier to apply and as I have dry skin it stopped my foundation from looking cakey. Another great thing about this product was that my foundation has been lasting longer on my skin throughout the day.

All of the products shown above are available on the Debenhams or House of Fraser website and in store. What are your favourite Urban Decay products?

urban decay naked palette

I finally got my hands on the Urban Decay Naked palette online from Debenhams the other day literally straight after it had come back in stock. It was also on 10% off and free delivery so I was really pleased when I snapped one up. It is literally full of the most beautiful and wearable colours that it will be so easy to pull off great daytime looks.

The palette also came with the Good Karma eyeshadow brush instead of the liners in the previous palettes as they couldn't produce them quick enough for the demand. I actually prefer the brush as it's a lot easier to use when the brush is there to use straight away. And of course a mini size of the famous Primer Potion is also included.

My best advice if you want to get hold of the palette is to keep an eye on the Debenhams Beauty Club facebook page as they usually do monthly updates on the stock of the palette there. But be quick as they usually sell out in just one day!
