Naked 2 palette

I finally got my hands on Urban Decay Naked 2 palette! All of last year I was contemplating about getting the original naked palette, I was going to treat myself with my birthday money, but I soon learnt Naked 2 was launching and decided to wait. I am so glad that I did! The shades work more with my skin tone, but there are also some old favourites in there too!

 Swatches of my faves; Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted, Black out

The first eyeshadow I reached for was Busted, I don't know why, maybe it's because I used to be Busteds biggest fan? ;) I love how pigmented the eye shadows are. The brush that comes with this palette is double ended, there's a full sized brush for the eye shadow, the other brush is for your crease.

Over all I think that Naked 2 is well worth the £36 that i paid. It is the most I have paid for a make up item, but I think its well worth the investment, you have 12 stunning colours. There's a variety of textures to create the look you are going for, matte,shimmer and glitter! The palette also comes with a mini lip gloss.

Have you got any of the naked pallets?

Urban decay hall of fame review

Urban decay introduces you to there most popular and lovable products, in travel size, that has been packaged in a awesome graffiti box.
I won UD hall of fame a while ago, I was so excited, as I had never owned an Urban decay product.
I have had enough time to use these, and let you know what I think and if id purchase each one fall size.
Let's start of with the contents:

• XL eyeshadow primer potion
• 24/7 glide - on eye pencil in zero
• Pocket rocket lip gloss in timothy
  
• Skyscraper multi-benefit mascara
• Lipstick in midnight cowboy

Now to what I think..

Eyeshadow Primer Potion
This is the best eyeshadow base I have ever used, and if you haven't heard of it, where have you been?! Every girl needs this in her make up bag.
This primer potion is XL, 60% bigger then regular urban decay potions.
I do not have any creases in my eyeshadow wearing this, and my shadow lasts all day!

Swatchy swatch...

This is wearable by it's self. The only disadvantage I would say is the packaging, it may look cute, but it will be hard trying to get the remains once the product starts to run out.
On that note, I'm giving the primer potion
4.5/5
Skyscraper multi benefit mascara
This mascara is amazing, the applicator gives my eyelashes such great length..
as it is so long, I just take the applicator to my eyelash root pull and curl them back, only having to do this once as I said because its so long, it covers the eye.

This mascara has multi benefits as the name suggests!
It Lengthens,Strengthens,separates,curls,brighten and thickens.
Sounds good right?
However it is not water proof, it DOES last long without fading, which I know is confusing.
You need to apply this carefully as the mascara is so gooey
I have to give most of those claims to be true, it does lengthen, not sure about strengthens just yet.
It separates quite well. Curls- It depends how you curl with the applicator. I would say it brightens and defiantly thickens! So check this out if you haven't already.I would repurchase.
4/5
Lipstick in midnight cowboy
I lurrrve the packaging!
Pretty, Shinny purlpleness :)

The colour is beaut! a shimmer nude.
It isn't drying either which is a normal hate for lipsticks for me, as I am a lip gloss kind of girl..
this is ever so moisturizing, and is near enough a gloss.
There is meant to be a midnight cow boy eye shadow too...which I must get, these babies paired up together would be lush.
The lipstick doesn't last long on this lips you may need to apply 2-3 times a day.
But I want to end on a good note- the lipstick really makes your lips look fuller, and you cant go wrong with a nude!
4.5/5


Pocket Rocket lip gloss in Timothy
Cute packaging ;) Smells fruity!
I love this because it makes your lips look brighter,

A lovely coral-red colour,with a brush applicator which is ideal for blending with a lipstick of your choice.
The red gloss, gives a sexy shine to your lips.I give this a..
4/5

24/7 eyeliner in zero
This has to be my favorite eyeliner, I am thinking of buying the normal size.
Its a love hate eyeliner, some really love it (like me) then you have people who hate it, they claim the liner doesn't last long, but for me it was okay!
The name names doesn't lie.

It lasts all day for me. Glides on so smoothly and is jet black, unlike some that aren't so intense.
This is defiantly great for the water line.
Another pro is the fact the lead doesn't snap easily!
I give the 24/7 eyeliner a
5/5


Over all I love urban decays hall of fame! I'm a massive fan now! What do you think? what are your favorites?
