A Little Something Extra

Ever since I saw an empty version of this palette on Trendmoods Instagram I knew it would be a great palette and I would have to have it. I already own the shade and light eye contour palette and the formula of those shadows are great, so I was exited to see if the formula was the same. I  have to say I wasn’t immediately blown away with the colour selection. I thought to myself that it had too much colour and not enough neutrals, but I realised thats not what this palette is for. I missed out on the Mi Vida Loca Palette last year and I still regret it, so I thought to myself I had to have this palette and I am so glad that I got it. The packaging of this palette is very nice. The fact that the name Metal turns to Matte when you turn the palette upwards to downwards is very clever. Although I wouldn't consider this a travel friendly palette due to its size its an impressive value for money. In the Uk on the Debenhams Website the Shade and Light Eye Contour Palette goes...

Probably one of Urban Decays biggest launches this year was their fall collection. It included their moon dust palette, eyeliners and then it shortly followed by what Urban Decays fans had been waiting for, the all matte (but not really) Ultimate Naked Basics Palette.  I have to say that the packaging is stunning. It is plastic however it looks more substantial than the other naked basics palette due to the colour and design. The colour selection is great, and even contains some colours that I don't consider basic. When you look back at the other two Naked Basics Palettes they have made, I would consider those basic. The browns and the lights yellow/peach shades. In this palette there are hints of colour. Something that wouldn't be considered a neutral, in my opinion, a couple of years ago would be the terracotta orange shade, then a dark burgundy colour. In a way this palette, made even obvious due to having 12 shades, gives you more variety with which looks you can c...

Just a quick post to show you guys my three go to autuminal looks. These looks are all without eyeliner, so they are super easy if you decide you like them. These were done in under two minutes so they are perfect if you wan to throw something on in a hurry. (BTW I know my brows are terrible but I did these before going in the shower.)  This first look is very sinple and only takes one palette and three eyeshadows. I used the Too Faced Swwep Peach Palette. I know this palette is making a come back, and I highly recommend it. I lightly buffed the shade Puree in the crease, added Summer Yum to define the crease and the inner and outer corners of the eye. Then for a pop of brightness I used Nectar  in the center of the lid and the center of the lower lash line.   This look is a little more dramatic however with a flawless base and a nude lip its the perfect vampy look for this fall. This only took 2 affordable products. on the lid I used the Maybelline Co...
