Urban Decay Naked Palette Review







 Retails for $60.00 at Sephora
This Palette is great! You can create many looks with this.
This is a very versatile palette that will take you from day to night.
Naked and Buck are the only colors in the palette that are matte.
The eyeshadows are high quality and have great pigmentation. They feel creamy and smooth and not at all powdery. 
If you like neutral looks this will be your go to palette. 
I use it everyday. The color Buck is the one I come back to most for my crease color.

Urban Decay Ammo Palette

Urban Decay Ammo Palette


I love Urban decay Eyeshadows they are highly pigmented and the colors are fun and pretty.
The only way I like to buy their eyeshadows is when they come out with palettes because on their own
they are way too expensive! Over $20.00 for one eyeshadow, for me is crazy!
The palettes are in my opinion a huge bargain.
The ammo palette you get 10 eyeshadows for $40.00 compared to $20.00 for 1 :)
Here are some swatches.

Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara

Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara


I have been using this mascara for a few years now
and its one of my favorites. I love it so much that out of all the mascara's I own,
this is the one I reach for the most. Every single one of the makeup looks on my blog
were done using Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara. I also own it in waterproof. I find the formula
to be the perfect consistency not too wet and it makes my lashes look fuller. The applicator takes a
little getting use to because its quiet large, but I love how the bristles are stiff enough to work their way through my
lashes and coat and separate each lash. I have gone through many
of these and will continue to because if it ain't broke.. well you know the rest :)

Exfoliating your face

By gently scrubbing your skin with exfoliating agents, you will remove the surface layer of dead cells. Fine lines will be less visible and your complexion will look brighter.




I love to use the Neutrogena wave
at least once a week to exfoliate my
face. I remember the first time I used
it. My face felt so soft! I liked it so
much that when my Mom came to
visit me I used it on her and she went
out and bought one the next day!





Another Product I like to use is
Oil Of Olay Daily Facials, It cleans
your face while gently exfoliating at the
same time. Its great to take all of your makeup off.

Eyeshadow Primers

Eyeshadow Primers


Have you ever gone to work with makeup on and after a few hours you look
at yourself in the mirror and see that your eyeshadows have all creased
and your eyeshadows are all one muddy color now?
Well with an eyeshadow primer on your lid that wouldn't have happened. There are
many different ones on the market, from really inexpensive ones to really pricey ones.

Now I have not tried any of the inexpensive ones YET but I soon will and will give you my opinion
but for now I'll just show you what I know of that's out there.

Elf eyeshadow primers are around $3.00
everyone on YouTube seems to only say
great things about it. So for me
it's a definite must try. 






Nyx HD Eyeshadow base is $9.99
Read a lot of reviews on this one as well and a lot of people enjoy it.

Also Loreal has one that I have not been able to find yet called L'Oreal
De-Crease Eye Shadow Base. This one goes
for around $7.99. The reviews I have read aren't
all that great but what doesn't work for some might
work for you.



This Urban decay eyeshadow primer makes your eyeshadows last all day, makes the colors brighter, and all that with no creasing!
Apply it to your lid just a small amount will go a long way , then apply your eyeshadows as usual, it drys fast so you have to make sure to work it in quick but once the silicone based primer is on, your eyes turn silky and smooth.
I got it at Sephora for about $20.00 plus taxes.Went home and used it
and it does as its advertised. It's one of my favorite eyeshadow primers now.


MAC Paint Pot



Mac Paint Pots work great as Eyeshadow primers too.
They are dryer then UDPP, you  just have to work
with it a little bit faster. They come in all sorts of colors and
if you wanted to use it as a primer and not a creme eyeshadow
I would choose one that's closest to your skin tone.
They go for around $20.00 plus taxes.
A little goes a long way, you will have it for a long time and
it works really well!

Here are some swatches


Concealer review

Dermablend smooth indulgence concealer


I have used this concealer for over a year now and still
have some in the tube. I really love it. I'm not a fan of the
price which is around $21.00 (U.S) but to be honest it has
lasted me a long time and it really conceals my dark under eye circles.
Its really creamy and blends really nicely into my skin.
I also have the setting powder and according to them it
also makes the concealer and foundations that they also sell
waterproof. They say it stays on for up to 12 hours of wear (16 hours of wear with
Setting Powder).
