A Little Something Extra

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...

It feels like I have been nothing but buying make up recently and I have decided that after this I am going to take a step back I get my hands on the Urban Decay Moondust Pallete! Anyway this is just a blog post about the few things I have picked up over month ago. First I want to get the morning one out of the way (something that isn't make up I consider boring sorry!) and those are the Skyn Blemish dots. I have been wanting to try something like these because during that fabulous time of the month spots pop up over night it seems. What these are are stickers essentially and they are coated with salicystic acid which help to reduce redness and the swelling of the spot. I use these after I cleanse my face at night, and let them work until I wake up. They do work in the terms of reducing the redness and maybe the slight appearance and texture of the swelling but it doesn't help get rid of the spot.  Now onto the three Jouer Cosmetics items that I got. I got the fr...

The palette that everybody went crazy for. I have had this palette now for about a month and I can see what the hype is about. This palette is the first permanent eyeshadow palette that ABH has released. Their eyeshadows have always been a limited edition thing and if you have been an avid collector of these palettes you know that the quality has been getting better with every palette, and as far as this one goes the quality is pretty great. Something a lot of people have had mixed reviews about is the packaging. A lot of what U have seen online is that they really like it. I personally hate this packaging. This is only because I really don't like the feeling of velvet / suede. Since its a material I can see it getting very dirty very quickly, and i have seen this as youtube who have just bought it have gotten it dirty just a couple of moments after. As you can see this is a very warm toned palette. I personally like my cool toned shadows however its good that I now have ...
