Urban Decay Naked Basics 2| Review+Swatches

Last week I was very easily tempted into buying the Naked 2 Basics palette because the colours looked a lot more wearable for me, Then I saw on twitter that the lovely lot over at Cohorted had it going for a fraction of the price! And I managed to get it just before they all went and it arrived just a few days later and the first thing I did was take a photo of it and swatch it for you lovely lot because I have this habit of not touching products until they have been photographed. 

The Packaging
I don't have the first Basics palette so I was unaware of just how small this palette is!! And its safe to say that it is the size of my palm, which makes me love it more because for travelling and carrying it around is perfect. It also comes with a mirror which is always a bonus for all travel like things, I did however struggle opening it and ended up using my teeth - oops!

The Shadows
For me UD know exactly how to do eye-shadows, they have it sorted and better than that they do matte shadows the best compared to any other brand I have ever tried. The shadows are so buttery and soft, the pigmentation is amazing and applying them makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Skimp – nude satin

Stark – nude-pink matte

Frisk – warm grey matte

Cover – purpley-brown matte

Primal – brown matte

Undone – deep smokey brown matte

Overall

I love, love this palette not just the size but also the colours of the palette as they are very wearable and for me easy to apply on just a daily basis but also if i was going somewhere because you can really smoke it up! Let me know if I should maybe consider buying the first one as well. i am very easily convinced!

Small Autumn Primark Haul

I did a tiny little bit of shopping in Primark the week, even though I went in with the mind set of buying lots of things I didn't because it was crazy and I just wanted to get out! The things I did pick up however have filled up that little bit of extra space in my wardrobe! 

The first place I went to was the shoe department, for some new wide foot flat pumps as mine are on the verge of collapsing! Primark have the cheapest ones compared to anywhere else in the world and even though they don't last very long, they are very very comfy!

I then picked up some more nails and if you saw this post, then you will know that I loved the first packet I got and it was a no-brainer that I would be picking up some more. This time the patterned ones didn't appeal to me and instead I went with the plain coloured ones! 

Like I said, Primark was very busy and so I decided not to spend so much time looking around the busy areas and instead just picked up two things for myself. The first thing on the left is one of their basic t-shirts that has a lovely spotty pattern on, along with long sleeves so perfect for this time of year! The other buy was a patterned shirt, not only is the pattern very elegant and nice but the shirt also has a peplum feature and looks surprisingly flattering on me!

No doubt I will be going back to Primark soon to stock up on jumpers and boots!

Fashion Fair Gold| Review

Today, I am reviewing some exciting things from Fashion Fair, they contacted me recently asking if I would like to work with them and of course I said! So, today I will talk to you about some of their products and you will also be seeing some more posts in collab with them very soon so do keep your eye out!

Golden Chestnut Eye shadow - This is an oil free shadow, so for those of you like me who use primers forget them because you don't need one! I didn't use one in this picture above and it lasted all day on my face and I had two events on the same day, the formula of these are super creamy and very easy to apply and blend out. I used the gold colour as my main eyelid colour as well as putting some in the crease and it looked amazing! 

Sam Fine Supreme Lip Gloss- Canary Diamond - This lip gloss is a beaut and if you love wearing gloss then this is one for your collection! This very transparent gold colour looks great on its own and on the top of other colours such as red and you will be really sparkly! This lip gloss is also not very sticky and doesn't create that glue like feeling that many glosses do. 

Have you tried anything from FashionFair?
