Amazing For Hazel Eyes
Just like the original, I love this palette too. I will be using this non stop this year, as I did with my original Naked Palette. This palette is a great buy because you have all your neutrals in one place. Each shadow is 1.5 grams, and contains 12 shadows for $50.00. Palette contains a brush that is double ended, and a gloss as well. I love that this palette has given different items to try than the usual UDPP, because I already have many backups of UDPP from other palettes. I am loving that Urban Decay is certified by the Leaping Bunny. Next year, I would love to see them do a vegan naked palette 3 with some new shades.
Vegan Version Of The Coastal Scents Palette
I get a lot of requests to use BH cosmetics and Coastal Scents Palettes. I am not positive of the cruelty free and vegan status of those brands, because they are all card stock palettes.
Luckily ELF's Mineral and Studio lines are vegan and cruelty free...so I decided to pick this palette up so my subscribers who do have the BH and coastal scents palettes would be able to follow along since the palette is the same idea. Or even pick this up instead if the subscriber was vegan. This palette does have a nice price ($20.00, often its half off for $10.00) tag in comparison to a Coastal Scents palette ($25.00 plus $10.00 shipping for one BH or CS palette) so I do recommend this over the BH and CS. BH and CS palettes have hit and miss eye shadows, as does the ELF Eyes Pro Eye Shadow Palette.
OMG! These are so pigmented, and VEGAN!
Its so hard to find brands that are cruelty free and vegan at the drugstore. I love that ELF is so wonderfully affordable, and yet they still have a wide range of versatile, multi-use products. Most of what I have tried from ELF I have really liked. The Studio line is definitely my favorite line from ELF. Packaged like NARS products, and containing a well pressed product that has similar pigmentation to a MAC blush.
Great Vegan Pigments, & Affordable For What Its Worth
These pigments come in a wide range of colors. I am almost done collecting them, but I do remember my first pigment Royal Sugar. These are a great alternative to MAC pigments if you are looking for quantity for your price tag. We all know MAC recently downsized the pigments, and kept the price tag up. Not that its possible to run out of pigments, but its the thought...
I love the range of colors, the vibrancy, the gleam...how intense they get when you add water or a form of a mixing medium.
If you are like me, and prefer to use products that are labled cruelty free and vegan, check these out.
A Great Silicone Based Eye Primer
I love Too Faced. Sometimes I feel that they are a few steps behind Urban Decay. I feel Urban Decay is usually ahead of the curve sometimes. That being said, the Urban Decay Primer Potion is the orignal, and still my love. I am allergic to this primer, as I am allergic to silicone, however, it does insure your shadow, and Too Faced had it right with the packaging all along.
A Great Matte, Silicone Free Shadow Base
I love this primer for eyelids. Its the original eyelid primer...Urban Decay had it right. Look no further than this perfect primer. Its a little more matte than Too Faced Shadow Insurance, but I love that it is silicone free. This is a great primer if you are allergic to silicone based products. This primer is lightweight, but at the same time a little goes a long way. If you have oily lids, less is more.
Creamy, Affordable, & Cruelty Free
I love that NYX has a wide range of products that are cruelty free. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils are must have cream eye color bases that are super creamy, so use very little product during application. I get excited when I see this product on the shelf. It comes in a wide range of colors. I have almost every one of the pencils. I am still collecting. I love Milk, and Cottage Cheese for highlighting, and the colors are great bases for intense eye looks.
This palette is a staple...
Everyone needs this palette in their kit. It contains mattes, shimmers, and one glitter. I love the range of nude shades, and smokey shades. This palette is a must have for everyone. Believe the hype.
Wonderful Scent, Free Of Harmful & Harsh Ingredients, Not Tested On Animals
This product is a great deodorant for anyone, particularly vegetarians, or vegans. This deodorant is dermatologist recommended, and hypo allergenic. This provides up to 8 hours of odor protection. This has essential oils that provide a light personal smell. Its not a heavy smell that everyone will be able to notice. Smells like baby powder, grapefruit, and vanilla.
