Brands I wish were sold in South Africa- Urban Decay

I loved doing last weeks post on Nars so I thought I would make this a weekly post on my blog. If you follow any beauty blogs that are not South African, you will hear them rave about the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. It seems to be the must have item in your makeup kit. I have some other items that I would love from the brand.

The Naked 2 palette is obviously the item I want the most from Urban Decay. It reminds me a lot of the Stila in the light palette (review here) but with a few more colors which I could wear during the day and night. It also comes with a brush and a mini lipgloss. Naked Flushed is also very appealing to me because I love contouring and highlighting. The bronzer in the set seems quite light for my skin tone though.
Have you tried anything from Urban Decay? Would you like to try?

Brands I wish were sold in South Africa- NARS

There are so many beauty brands that I wish were available in South Africa and Nars is just one of them. I have been following beauty blogs for a while now and most of them mention Nars and their cult blush, Orgasm. I have been wanting a few of their products, not only the blush, and I thought I would share them with you. 

My two favorite products on this list would have to be the Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Never say Never and the Matte Eyeshadow in Outreamer. I only wear matte lipsticks and the deep pink color of this one appealed to me. The eyeshadow looks like it could be the perfect cobalt blue that I have been searching for. Cobalt is one of my favorite colors but I cannot seem to find it in a matte eyeshadow that I actually like. The search continues.
