Packing

I recently went away for about 5 days and I was quite shocked to see how much makeup I had to pack. When I got back, I realized that I had actually used most of what I had took.

My friend then asked me what if I could choose one thing to take with me, what would I choose? I couldn't decide on one thing and I am now torn between red lipstick and concealer!

What make up item can you not live without?

Urban Decay Naked 2

After a little break from blogging, I am back! So I will get right into it. I mentioned in a previous blogpost that I received the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette as a gift. I decided to do a review on it today but very soon I will have a post up on the different between the real and the fake palette. The palette comes with 12 neutral eyeshadows which are a mixture of matte and shimmer, a double ended eyeshadow brush and quite a large mirror in the lid.

The eyeshadows are incredibly pigmented and I found that they lasted all day. Some of the colors seemed very similar to me but once you play around with them, you find out exactly what works better in the crease and what works best on your eyelid.

My favorite shades are definitely Half Baked and Chopper. They work so well together and Chopper reminds me a lot of rose gold. Snake Bite and Busted are also winners for me because they are very neutral and seem to work with a lot of my neutral makeup looks. Another color that deserves a mention is Foxy. I have never been a person that applies eyeshadow underneath their brow but Foxy works so well for me. 

I hope everyone had a good week and has an even better weekend.

My new favorite palette

I honestly could not think of a title for this post. I am extremely excited as I type this and I hope you will be too. I recently received the Naked 2 palette as a gift and the person who bought it for me actually bought a fake palette at first. After realizing that it was fake, the original palette was purchased.

Packaging wise, you can definitely see what is real and what is fake. The real Naked 2 palette comes with the mini lipgloss and is packaged in a clear box.

Can you tell which is the real palette and which is the fake? After I took it out of the packaging, I was so confused.

Would you be interested in a post where I compare the two?
