Let's Be Neutral & Naked

Hi Y'all!

I received an email from Urban Decay announcing that their infamous Naked Palette is available again for purchase on their website and will soon be available in stores! I thought I'd share because I know a lot of people who are trying to get their hands on this palette.

I'm a big fan of Urban Decay's espcially their 24/7 Pencil Eyeliners and their eyeshadows. Although the NAKED palette is beautiful and is perfect for someone looking for a nuetral palette, I think I may end up passing on it for now. I already have a a lot of these colors between my Book of Shadows II Palette Ammo Palette and single shadows in my collection. Off the top of my head I counted 7 colors that I already have.

When I really looked into it it would only make sense for me to purchase this palette for "collection" reasons or for backups of colors I really like and honestly I own a lot of eye-shadows and I could probably dupe many of the colors from other brands especially from my Two Faced Neutral Eye Kit (which I love and is slightly cheaper than the UD Naked Palette.

The Naked Palette has also increased in price a bit because instead of getting a 24/7 liner eyeliner pencil they threw in their Good Karma Brush. It's retailing for $48 which is a good deal if you take the price of single shadows, Primer Potion and the brush into account.

Eyeshadows Included~Virgin (nude satin), Sin (champagne shimmer), Naked (buff matte), Sidecar (beige sparkle), Buck (brown matte), Half Baked (bronze), Smog (golden brown shimmer), Darkhorse (bronze-plum shimmer), Toasted (taupe-bronze), Hustle (mocha shimmer), Creep (near-black metallic), Gunmetal (dark grey metallic).

Travel-size Eyeshadow Primer Potion: Original formula and Good Karma Eyeshadow Brush.

Even though I originally wanted this palette I'm glad that I took a step back and really thought about it. I have seen the palette and its great and I would recommend it to someone looking for a high quality neutral palette or to some looking to build their stash. I do wish that Urban Decay would come out with more great colors and stop recycling and remixing existing ones into new palettes.  >_<

Sephora Mini Spree!!!

So I know that's it's better to give than to receive.... But I was naughty yesterday and I gave to myself!!! I accidentally ended up in Sephora yesterday & I found some goodies that I couldn't resist. My only complaint is that stalker saleslady wouldn't leave me alone. I felt bad because she was kinda old like 65+, but she wouldn't leave me alone. I ended up dodging her by the perfumes and picked up some swag for me!!! Just 3 little things no big deal......

I got my Urban Decay Eye Primer (I've been wanting to try it for a while.)










The Shady Lady Blam Palette is AWESOME!! I tried to do a look last night (Trivia Night @ Widow Brown's), but I was in a rush and it didn't turn out the way that I wanted it too. Oh well . The color is super pigmented even on a dark-skinned chica like myself. I do want to try applying with a wet brush to see what this stuff can truely do! Some of the darker shadows can be used as eyeliner too. Something I'm not good at but willing to learn. I'm not good with non pencil/pen liners It's a super cute pallette with 9 shadow/liners and it comes with a mirror.


Colors:
Caught in the act Courtney ~Shadow & Liner
Shameless Shana ~ Shadow
Luscious Lani ~ Shadow
Jealous Jordana ~ Shadow & Liner
Risque Renee ~ Shadow & Liner
Curvy Cami ~Shadow
Jet-Setting Jennifer ~ Shadow
All About Alex ~ Shadow
Easy Wheezie ~ Shadow


I also got a Cargo shadow quad in "Bahama"the colors are really pretty but pretty neutral but I've been on the hunt for a new neutral set! No cutsey names for these colors.


I'm off now, Grandma #1 & #2 should be arriving shortly and I have some last minute chores to do before they get here. I really just want to take a NAP!

I'm looking for a new eyeshadow pallete for Christmas! I have one but it's kinda old and I'm over the colors. I got a at a job I used to have and I don't know who made it. I think it will be my gift to myself fo r finishing finals and that INC looming over my head. I'm supposed to be working on a paper now but my mind wont focus. So I'm sipping on a small Latte Lite from D&D waiting for motivation to kick in.
I was looking at Sephora's- Ultimate Blockbuster- Collector's Edition (worth $320) Cost $48

The ultimate makeup palette for eyes, face, and lips, all you need for complete classic beauty. What it does Create any look in the book, or your imagination, with the Sephora Brand Collector's Edition Palette.

A selection of applicators and a mirror embedded under the lid of the compact give you all the tools to create a polished, expert look anytime, anywhere. Now you can make your look a personal masterpiece, from trendy to timeless, the sky's the limit.

What else you need to know:

This palette has it all:
- 71 eyeshadow shades (0.04 oz each)
- 13 cream eyeshadow shades (0.03 oz each)

The user reviews r eally suck, mostly complaints about the pigments of the eyeshadows so I don't think it's worth the $48

I am kinda feeling a palette by Urban Decay but it's sold out and it has great ratings!

A palette of sixteen eyeshadows: eight best-sellers and eight exclusive new shades found only in this palette.

What it does:
Urban Decay Book of Shadows Palette is the largest (and most unique) palette Urban Decay has ever offered. Nestled inside a pull-out drawer, there are sixteen eyeshadows, two premium brushes, and a travel-size Eyeshadow Primer Potion. There's also a large mirrored vanity, framed by one-of-a-kind 3D pop-ups of Urban Decay graphics: birds, skulls, and flowers spring forward against a backdrop of flourishes, jewels, and butterflies.

What else you need to know:
This palette contains Perversion (matte black), Last Call (plum punch), Grifter (sheer lavender with lots of silver microglitter), Mayhem (deep purple), Baked (rich bronze), Smog (deep coppery bronze), Sidecar (bronze sparkle), Gridlock (medium brown), Shakedown (shimmering taupe), Roach (deep brown with reddish sheen), Scandal (peachy-pink), Midnight Cowboy (golden beige with gold glitter), Goddess (midnight blue with lots of electric blue microglitter), Shattered (bright green/blue shift), Absinthe (electric green), Protest (dark green).

Ok, I'm off to accomplish something academic today........ Might as well finish my paper on Demographics it's more than half done!!!
