Urban Decay Naked Palette 3 - A beauty Trilogy

Image
By


I'm a bit behind on my Naked collection. I spent the longest time convincing myself that I really didn't need the 3rd instalment of the iconic eyeshadow palettes offered up from Urban Decay.

"Rose tones? You don't need rose tones! You have cool tones and warm tones! Rose tones would be overkill. Ok yes your skin is Rose toned but seriously? You don't need another nude palette. Rose tones... Pah!!"

And then they announced the Smoky palette and once again the cycle of need began. 

"Smoky? You're too pale for smoky! Oh alright then go and get the Rose palette. There, are you satisfied?"

I was. 



The Rose palette is, quite unsurprisingly, a lot more pink than its predecessors. With the usual finishes including shimmers, mattes & metallics you have carte blanche to mix and match as much as you'd like to. I find this a little trickier to use than the previous palettes. Pink can be a hard colour to pull off when you've got ginger & green hair and blue eyes. I appreciate that is probably a niche problem. 

Nonetheless I am absolutely enamoured with the palette. My instant favourites are Dust - a pale pink shimmer which I absolutely love (it reminds me of MAC phloof which is my all time favourite MAC shadow), Trick - I'm always drawn to a gold metallic and intrigued to see how this blends with the pinky tones of the Rose palette, and Blackheart - The red flecks throughout this black are beautiful in the pan and blend out really well. It isn't so overly pigmented that you can't use it in conjunction with the paler shades (did I mention I love Dust?) and it works well as a liner along the lower lash line. I'm also looking forward to experimenting with Darkside and Mugshot. I've been loving Gunmetal in the Naked 2 so I think this could be a welcome addition. 




Naked 3 is £38, as with all of the Naked palettes, and I purchased mine from Debenhams thanks to a generous voucher given to us at their Foyleside Beauty Hall launch last week. I have plenty more treats from our trip up to Foyleside coming up so stayed tuned! 

As for the Smoky Palette? Soon my friend... soon!

"Brand New Mint In Box"

By
Of the ways to describe the most premium of items in your makeup collection "Brand New Mint In Box" should not be one of them. One of my most awful habits is buying makeup and then not using it and to my even greater shame it is usually with my most expensive purchases. There is an Alan Carr joke about the extortionate price of a Spanish Onion, the punchline is "when do you save an Onion for best?" This is kind of how I feel about expensive makeup. It's so pretty and so precious that if I get up the courage to actually purchase it, I'm then usually too scared to use it. The pride and shame of this habit is these two items from Dior.  The absolutely sublime Dior Skin Nude Tan highlighter which I purchased as a pre-release special edition from House Of Fraser TWO YEARS AGO has sat in box all tightly wrapped up only being shown the light to show off to my friends and family. Yes I do show off my prettiest of pretties to my friends and family...

No Halloween Costume Needed

By
It's become an accepted norm that once December 1st comes around the nations will don their snowflake print leggings and their novelty jumpers but so far the other seasons are lacking in their effort. Yes, Halloween is famous as being the single greatest costume day of the year but I need October to step and represent in the seasonal apparel game.  Thankfully retailers have heard my inner goth cry and have come up with some seriously cute Halloween inspired items. For those who love a slogan tee you have every variation of saying that could possibly be made by rhyming witch with bitch and if you don't say every one of with Emma Roberts' attitude then you need to watch season 3 of American Horror Story immediately!   Dressing with the seasons is clearly big money but it doesn't have to cost the world. Here are my choices of how to get into the Halloween spirit all under £30.  Boohoo Starting with my favourites because I can! I actually bought the f
