Sleek, Sophisticated, NAKED..2!
I believe Urban Decay did an amazing job upgrading the Original Naked Palette!! First the Packaging is so Sleek and Sturdy compared to the first one. The color selection I believe is a lot better. I love that the matte shades are very different especially Tease which is a light brown with purple under tones! I own nothing like it. You can use it as an everyday shade alone in your outer V or use it to blend out darker colors in a smokey eye look! So versatile already. I love that they added a Matte black as well and I will tell you why. When I do a neutral look either on me or someone else. I do not always want to use a Gel, or Liquid liner sometimes I simply push and smudge out a black shadow into the lash line both to thicken up the base of the lashes and add depth or to just give it that bit of smokeyness to the outer lash line. So I love that Urban Decay included BlackOut. The dual ended brush was a nice touch but in all honesty I preferred the 24/7 liners. Although I did get one with my order. The Lip Junkie in Naked is a nice color that you can easily toss in your bag which I do like. Also I love that I can hear the packaging snap shut. I did not liket the fact that on the Original it never stayed shut. So Urban Decay amazing job on this new palette not only on the packaging but on the amazing color selections!!!
One Coat Gorgeous, Two Coats Clumps!
For me this mascara was a bit of a bust. Not because of the first coat because that applied very well. But, it was the second coat that the clumps came to visit. I believe it is because the formulation of this mascara is very dry compared to the mascaras I usually reach for. I tend to purchase very wet mascaras. But by the second application my first coat had already dried and set & to put another coat over that was just havoc. But, if you are the kind of gal or guy who is a one coat wearer then you may love this mascara. I did like how it looked very wearable for day time. The packaging I was also not a fan of it is very easy to stab yourself with the pointed packaging. But I did love the color of the tube. All in all I wouldn't purchase it again.
Amazing Multi-Tasking Color Stick!
I picked up this Argan Color Stick and have been loving it ever since. The color I have is Petal Pink, This stick like other Josie Maran products I love it so soft and is not drying to your skin at all because of the Argan oil it contains. The stick looks bright when you see it but as you can tell from my swatch it goes on quite sheer and is buildable! It blends beautifully on to your cheeks. It does have a bit of shimmer but nothing to over powering. The best thing about this product it is a Multi-Tasking Balm that can be used on your lips, cheeks, eyes anywhere your heart desires.. I love the packaging just like I do with all of her products. A gorgeous rose gold tube. When I see packaging like that I automatically know it's Josie Maran!! If you haven't checked this great product out please do so. I can save you a few steps in your daily make up routine!
Perfect Brush Cleanser!!
I like many of you beautys out there have always been on the search for a great brush cleanser. Well, I found it! The Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps in Peppermint! It takes my stainning on my brushes and MAGICALLY takes it all away! The packaging is just your standard flip top bottle. The scent is amazing it is not to harsh. If Peppermint is not your thing they also come in other great scents. You can also put this in your bath, use it for a face pack, or message your scalp with it! So many uses. The best part is it is so concentrated that a little goes a long way.
You can never have to much Viva La Juicy!!
I have been using Viva La Juicy since it came out and it is always a repurchase for me. It just has this amazing sweet scent and no matter who wears it, it always smells amazing! It is just one of those classic scents that you smell and your like that is Viva La Juicy!! The pricing for this perfume is awesome! The packaging is of course their signature bottle with the cute little pink bow. It is just so gorgeous I love attention to detail when it comes to anything and Juicy did not disappoint with the scent or the packaging!
Great scents right in your handbag!
I love the DKNY Be Delicious Roller Ball Duo!! Not only does it give you the option of always having more then one scent in your handbag. They are gorgeous scents and the lasting power is amazing on both of these perfumes. Of course my favorite out of the two is the original Be Delicious. But having Fresh Blossom on the other end is so nice for those days when I want to feel more springy! This is such a steal because you got both of these scents for $20.00 at Sephora. If you have not smelled either of these scents you need to they are very pretty but both have there own unique smell.
Color that stays put for hours!
The Tarina Tarantino Magic Hour Cream Shadow in Golden Shadow in one of my favorites. Even as I sit here this moment after doing my swatch I can not get it off the back of my hand no matter how hard I scrub! This cream shadow is at the top of my list for staying power. Once you place it on your lid it isn't going anywhere. The product is amazing. The pigmentation is out of this world. The packaging feels far from inexpensive. It is in a heavy glass jar with Tarina Tarantino's cute pink signature packaging. This is a cream shadow that you will never regret buying.
My Favorite MAC Lipstick Finish!!
I have been using MAC lipsticks for 10 years and always liked their lip sticks. But it was not until I picked up the Sheen Supreme Lipsticks that I fell in love with MAC lipsticks. I love how moisturizing the Sheen Supreme Lipsticks are. They glide on your lips perfectly and leave such a great shine that you do not need a gloss over it! Skipping steps in my beauty routine? I am all for it! The packaging is so sleek and nice. It is by far my favorite lip packaging from MAC. The only down side to these is they do not have a big assortment of colors. But honestly the ones they do have are so nice. The pigmentation does not disappoint so try these out the next time you are near a MAC store...you will not regret it!
Amazing Pigmentation!
I love Zoya Professional Nail Lacquers they have great pigmentation. Are priced great and I have never been disappointed with the quality. I love that they have so many to choose from that I almost have a hard time picking just one. The brush gives such and easy application. Easily one of my favorite nail polish brands. Check them out if you have not. They belong in your nail rack!
Tons of Color, with a lot of class!
Deborah Lippmann make amazing polishes. The color I have is Don't Tell Mama! It goes on opaque in one coat!! For some people her polishes can seem a bit pricey. But with just the color quality and wear time. You truly get your monies worth. The packaging is gorgeous and you know it is Deborah Lippmanns from miles away because it is unique compared to other brands. This is a brand that belongs in everyones collection.
