Holy Grail!

Fantastic.

At $44 a bottle, i feel alot of people would walk past this product, but it is WELL worth the money. This is a staple when i'm doing bride's make up for their big day. For starters it:

Photographs beautifully Doesn't make you look "cakey" It has buildable coverage Long lasting Gorgeous satin finish

Perfection. My favorite foundation.

Good, but you can find better.

This concealer does what it's meant to do - conceal. But at a price. The consistency is extremely creamy making creasing inevitable. Be sure to set the under eye area with a good powder to ensure this wont happen. This is actually the only concealer thats ever creased for me, so i tend to only use it when my other ones have run out. As far as coverage goes, it is good. It has a peachy tone to it, so it helps aid in hiding dark circles. I still think better bang for your buck would be Mac's ProLongWear concealer... that stuff is fantastic in comparison.

no thanks.

won't be repruchasing this foundation :( -highlights dry areas on face -lasted a solid 2 hours before i noticed it wearing quite thin (this was WITH a primer and power set after) -the colours are strange. Had to buy 2 to make my perfect shade -became chalky after a few hours of wear

Not really too impressed. If i wanted to get a drugstore foundation, i'd probably opt for Maybelline Fit Me as its a pretty wonderful product and in fact cheaper then this one.

pretty average

the colour is nice and buildable, but as the previous girl said it really does tend to highlight any dry areas on your lips. Best bet would be to exfoliate your lips and moisturize like crazy before any application. didn't find the product really moisturizing at all which was a shame but hey, ya win some ya lose some. Still something i would purchase for a cheap, on the go lipstick.

Absolutely #1!

By far my most favourited item in my make up kit. This is the PERFECT highlighter and can be used as eye shadow to create a gorgeous bronze, beachy look. Absolutely beautiful shimmer that isn't too powdery looking - so you wont come out looking like a powdered donut! Even if you go back for a second application (think heavier night time make up, really glowing cheeks are beautiful) it wont look over done. Gives a natural sheen to the cheeks, brow bones, cupids bow, wherever you decide to put it - it works. Its a bit of a pricey product but for one that i use almost daily, i've barely gone through 1/8 of the product so its great value. Must have for sure.

lovely!

I never owned the first Naked palette by Urban Decay because i wasn't 100% sold on the colours. A handful of them reminded me closely of Woodwinked by MAC and as beautiful as that colour is, it just doesn't look good on me. So I waited patiently for Naked2 to come out, and I am so glad I snagged the last one my local Sephora had in stock. The packaging is beautiful and sleek. I prefer this to the first edition as i saw a lot of those get very dirty, very quickly just due to the velvet finish. The brush inside Naked2 is actually really useful. The fluffy side is stiff enough for fine blending and the other side is great for smaller work. Each colour is super pigmented and a little goes a long way. They are much cooler tones than the first Naked palette, which is really ideal for my skin tone. Every colour has a purpose and i find myself debating which ones to use as they're all so beautiful on the skin. I use the very first matte colour, Foxy, almost every day and ive yet to see a dent in the product. Long lasting! The only thing i don't like about this palette is that the formula for the eyeshadow seems to come with a lot of fall down upon application. I find this is the same with most Urban Decay eyeshadows, so as long as you're willing to do your foundation routine last, or touch it up, then you won't have a problem with this gorgeous palette.
