Beauty | Urban Decay Naked Heat!


I know, I am VERY behind with writing this post and realise that everyone and their mum has probably already got a review of this little beauty up on their blogs already, but good things come to those who wait right?

I've dreamt of owning this palette ever since my eyes first saw it last summer when interning at Heat magazine (a story for another time, lol). To be completely honest with you, I just couldn't justify spending the money on buying it for myself! Just before Christmas my brother and his girlfriend Emma went to New York for a couple of days and face timed me to ask if I wanted one, of course I had said YES before Emma had even finished her sentence. 


Like most things this day and age, the packaging pretty much sold it for me. I love it when brands get creative, and Urban Decay never ever disappoint! I love how similar in shape and design this palette is to smoky as they look so cute sat on my dressing table together. Obviously with the name being Heat, the palette is full of orange, brown and gold shades that are all perfect to create a warm eye look. The pigmentation of the palette is equally as great, although I knew this would be the case!




The palette consists of 12 shades, seven mattes and five shimmers. Urban decay have gone down the right track with the perfect shimmery shade 'Lumber', which is probably my most favourite out of the whole palette. So what are the pro's and con's?

Pro's - It's a gorgeous, well thought and put together palette. The basic base shades of 'Low Blow', 'Sauced' and 'Chaser', set the eye perfectly for other colours to be effortlessly blended on top. I like to use my primer potion as a base and find it to work well with the shadows.

Con's - If I was to have to pick a con, it would probably be the fact the packaging is quite bulky. As much as I love it, a smaller design like the original Naked palette would be better for travel.

So there we go, my review finally, of the Urban Decay Naked Heat palette. It was about time I joined the beauty blogger world! I would love to know your thoughts on the palette, as well as looks I can try out!

Until next time, 



Face of the day!



Hello!
I know I am posting a little prematurely this week but I have got some plans on Sunday and I don't think that I am going to be able to get a post up on time, SO here I am at eleven on a Friday evening posting for you!

This post is a little bit different and something that I have to admit I am a little nervous of posting. On my blog I have only ever posted one 'FOTD' and was overwhelmed by the comments of support that I thought I would do another one. (I am not that confident you see!)

This makeup look is more of a special occasions look for me as I wouldn't use such a heavy eye and lip look in everyday usage. But I was testing out my new Naked 3 palette and this was the result. Enjoy!



The eyeshadow colours I used were all from the Naked 3 Palette. The first colour was 'Trick' which I put all over the lid and up to the brow bone. Then I applied a small bit of 'Dust' to give a lighter colour. I then used 'Buzz' in the crease and applied 'Liar' in the outer corner and crease also. Finally I used 'Blackout' in the outer corner and along the top lash line. I then blended this altogether so there were no harsh lines or edges. I put a little bit of 'strange' on the brow bone to highlight as a finishing touch.
