Urban Decay Naked Basics

Urban Decay Naked Basics

I feel like the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette was made for me.  Eye shadow is not something that I use daily as with work I like to try and keep my make up as natural looking as possible. Don’t get me wrong I own many a gorgeous eye shadow palette but sometimes I feel these can look a bit to OTT for daytime wear.

Cue the Naked Basics palette, a pocket sized version on the infamous Urban Decay Naked palettes but filled with 6 neutral matte shades. I love how small this palette is it’s so convenient for travel and the mirror inside is a great size.

As with all of my experiences with Urban Decay eye shadows the quality is second to none. The pigmentation is very strong and the colour true to pan, they also blend beautifully for that flawless finish.

My favourites include Venus and Faint. Venus is the most perfect highlighter colour which I love to use on my brow bone. This shade does have a slight shimmer to it so it’s also lovely for the inner corner of your eyes. Faint I have actually been using for my brows! The mid tone brown colour fills in my brows so they look defined yet still natural.

If mattes are your thing or you are looking for something a little bit friendlier for everyday wear then I cannot recommend this enough.

Do you have this palette? What eye shadow do you reach for on a daily basis?

The Urban Decay Vice Palette

Urban Decay: The Vice Palette

I am so, so lucky to be able to write this post as I won this beautiful palette in Coco’s giveaway. Coco blogs over at The Beauty Milk, her blog is filled with fabulous beauty posts with stunning pictures to match; I highly recommend a read I promise you won’t be disappointed.

I remember seeing so many people on twitter enter this giveaway so when a little email popped up in my inbox saying I’d won I actually screamed and about scared my boyfriend to death. I am so excited about this palette I wanted to share my excitement with you.

The Urban Decay Vice Palette contains 20 new eye shadows which are a mix or mattes and shimmers and range from bright to neutrals, basically there is something in this palette for everyone and the amount of looks you can create are endless.

The packaging is gorgeous; it’s simple, sleek and purple which is perfect. I love the fact it has a HUGE mirror inside and it also includes a Good Karma Shadow and Crease Brush.

My favourite colours have to be Provocateur, Anonymous, Lace and, Freebird as I’m a neutral kind of girl at heart but I have also been using Vice a lot underneath the outer edge of my eye.  The quality of the shadows are amazing and it definitely makes me want to purchase for UD eye shadows  I need to start getting creative with my eye shadow!

I honestly cannot tell you how much I love this palette and how incredibly lucky I feel to have won it and I want to thank Coco once again. If you head over to The Beauty Milk now Coco has another Giveaway up to win a Tarte Blush and a Mac Lipstick! The Giveaway is running until 14^th February so what are you waiting for?
