Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette. Review + Swatches

-

So, I went to Paris, France. It's always been one of the places on my bucket list where I've wanted to visit. All the bread, all the cheese and all the Art. I would say wine but I am not the big drinker. Whilst I was over the new Urban Decay Naked Heat palette launched, and I was planning on getting it when I was back home.However, when the day came for e to actually step into a Sephora so I could swatch it myself, I decided just to pick it up. I didn't even swatch it in the store because it was so busy there, but now I will always have a palette that will remind me of that trip.

 Let's talk about the packaging. It's very comparable to the Naked Smokey which has the very rectangle plastic with design effects, as opposed to the first where it has velvet packaging and the second and third has the tin sort of packaging. It's heavy for a naked palette, and I think that a lot of effort went into it.

The palette is a warm eyeshadow lovers dream, and I am actually tempted to call this the best naked palette they've come out with. I wasn't crazy about the consistency of the matte shadows in the Ultimate Naked Basics palette which was the last palette that I bought from UD as, although they were super pigmented, they just felt really dry. The shadows in the Heat Palette are very comparable to the formula of their older palettes like the original naked basics and the older naked palettes, where the mattes are super creamy as well as pigmented. This palette has a total of 12 shadows, 8 mattes and 4 shimmers.


The shadows I am most impressed with so far are the shades Ounce, Chaser, Lumbre and Ashes. The shade Ounce reminds me of the Kat Von D shadows in the Alchemist palette where they have a white/transparent base with pearlescent colour pigments. This shade is the peach shade that I wanted from that palette, a white base with peachy orange pearlescent pigments which is perfect as an inner corner and browbone highlight.


The shade Chaser is the perfect matte transition shade. On my skin tone, which is ghostly, its the perfect shade that you can throw in the crease just for a base as you layer other shadows on top to create a defined crease. It was a smart move on their part to add this shade as I can see myself dipping into this shade for every single look I will be creating with this palette.

Lumbre is stunning and the only way I personally would describe it would be that it is a deep rose gold. Deep in the sense that the base isn't so much pink, but a scarlet pinky red shade, and then it contains gold and bronze shimmers. I always apply my shimmers with a damp brush as you can get a better even application without having to layer up. When I first wore this I applied it all over my lids and my look was hot damn fire.

Ashes is a deep matte aubergine. The reason why I love this shade so much is that I am glad that it wasn't another black or a dark brown. Layered on tow of other shadows it almost does look black, but because it is purple it doesn't look so stark compared to the red and it blends beautifully. 


I swatched these on my arm with no primer, and the photo is only colour balanced to show you how the colours look in real life. I definitely saw the post on Instagram that showed really bad swatches and I am really shocked in comparing what they posted compared to what I have experienced myself. Everyone was going crazy, and it almost made me not buy it, but I am super happy that I did. I own UD Naked 2 + 3, Naked Smokey, Ultimate Naked basics and Naked Basics 1 and I think this is the best one, and I highly recommend.


Hope you enjoyed my post and let me know if you guys want to see looks with this palette, which I am planning on doing, but if I know that someone wants to see it I will try and make even most looks and post sooner. Plus did I mention this is a MUST palette if you have green eyes? Or eyes in general?

Many Thanks x

Last month I didn't upload a favorites post as I didn't really have anything new that I started to love that month. It takes me a long time to decide if I truly love a product ready enough to put it into an in-depth post, unless the first time I try it and I am obsessed straight off the bat.  My first favorite is a perfect no make up make up product.  BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Hydrating Tinted Cream Gel  in the shade Opal. I feel like I can wear this even if I have a few blemishes. Pop on a bit of concealer and I feel so fresh faced and look so healthy and hydrated. It doesn't cling to my dry patches and it somehow just goes over my pores making it look like I have a flawless base but it still shows my freckles. Something that most beauty addicts have is an Urban Decay Naked Palette . I have Naked 2 and Naked 3 and the Basics, but recently I have been showing some love to my first baby, Naked 2. For some reason I always go back to this when it is the summe...

Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Palette Review & Swatches

I am actually writing this section post even before I have received the palette. Why? Because I feel like I need to talk about the BeautyBay website and how checking out the palette went. So, on the 28th of September, the Jaclyn Hill x Morphe Collaboration Palette launched on the BeautyBay website. Jaclyn snap-chatted that the launch would happen at 9 is on the website. I was working that day and I only get 45 mins break. I checked the website 8:30 am and the palette was already on there, and I later found out it was an early access for registered members. I added it to my cart, and it wouldn't let me sign in. I, therefore, created new account thinking that I must have changed my password and forgot, but no, it wouldn't let me sign into the new one either. I was there for half an hour until the page suddenly came up as being out of stock. My heart sank, as I had been trying to check out nearly for all of my breaks, and they don't have a customer service line either so I co...

Make Up Forever Starlit Palette. Review & Swatches.

I have never tried Make Up Forever products and I found myself really keen on trying out this palette. I first saw this palette on the Trendmood Instagram page, and when you first look at it, it does look a lot like the Kat Von D Metal Matte Palette. Whilst looking through the comments I wasn't the only one who thought this, and I was very interested in purchasing as I was intrigued to see how they compare. I bought mine off the Debenhams website whilst it became on sale for a limited 24hrs, and even better was that the site had 15% off Beauty so I got the palette for £34 instead of the £40. I bought this completely based on my own opinion because there weren't any youtube reviews on it, and no blog posts either so I had no idea about the quality. When I got the palette I didn't really have any thoughts on the packaging. I thought the holographic aspect was really nice, but that was it. The mirror as far as I can tell is just a standard mirror, it's clear...
