Angel is the lipstick I am currently rocking with Mac lip liner in Oak and on top of Oak lip liner Sephora lip liner in Native nude with Mac plush glass Bountiful in the center of my lip. Sometimes I also pair Mac Cork lip liner with it for a warmer look. I have paired this lipstick with nude looks as well as bolder looks as far as eye shadow goes and it always looks great. This is one of those colors that women of color may stay away thinking it may not be a good fit for their skin tone but Angel is one of those colors that can be made to be bold or a nice nude color. Add a lip liner to manipulate the color some for your skin tone.
At first, I was not going to purchase this palette because it seem really similar to the first naked palette, but after I kept looking at it being talked about on youtube and received an email from Urban Decay that the palette had been released I decided to pick it up and I am happy I did I love the colors in the Naked 2 palette! Most of the colors have some type of shimmer or satin finish to them so if you are not into shimmer this palette may not be for you. All the colors are very soft, pigmented and easy to blend. The container it comes in is very durable and great for travel not to mention very cute.
With the Naked palette comes a double ended brush that I do like but not for applying the eye shadows or powder products. I like to use the brush for applying concealer or Mac paint pots. I do not feel like this brush is the best brush for applying and blending powder products but great used for creamy products. The lip gloss in Naked is an ok color I think it should have looked more like the color they named Naked in the palette a little more nude but it’s an ok color. I will use it to use the lip gloss up but I am not for sure if I would purchase the color on it’s on. Overall this is another great palette that Urban Decay has created. I love that they always add other items in their palettes so you really get your money worth.

Tickled Pink was not a good color for me at all. It looks nice in the packaging but it does not really show up on me and the little that does looks really ashy. It could be that I got an old blush to because when I would swatch the blush the color barely comes off on my finger. So not a winner for me.
This is a really nice fragrance that I would definitely recommend. It kind of reminds me of a man fragrance just not as strong. My only con about this fragrance is it does not last on my body for a long time but I don’t really have a problem with that, other than that the fragrance is really nice. You can pick this fragrance up for $15.00
For these tweezers to be so inexpensive they are great and they are the only tweezers I use. Once I purchased my first pair of E.L.F. tweezers and saw that they are sleek, sturdy, and able to pick of the shortest hair with the first attempt, I placed an order for several more to share with my mom and as back up’s for myself. You can’t beat a good product for a $1.00.
This is the perfect brush for me to apply my blush. The brush is not to stiff however it is not at all flimsy. It picks up a lot of product with one touch. This is not only a good brush for applying blush but it is also great for applying loose powder for under your eye and contouring your cheeks. The E.L.F. blush brush is my go to brush for my blush. I have several of these brushes and have had them for a couple of years now, they are still holding up well and I have experienced no shedding. Cost $3.00.
The Burt’s Bees beewax hand crème is a crème that does what it say’s it does. I like especially using this product at night before I go to bed. After I apply the product I put on my cotton gloves which allow my body heat and the heat of the gloves to penetrate into my skin and soften my hands even more. Once I awake in the morning my hands are extra soft. The smell is pleasant and a little product goes along way.
This product can be a little greasy and in my opinion the product is a bit expensive but other than that this is really a good product.
