Hey everyone, I know I haven't posted in a while but this is BIG NEWS!!!!! I found out about the new UD Naked palette 3 via another blogger in Europe (Nacha Birds).  Here are some photos!!!!!! Not sure when the release for US will be but here are some photos and names/descriptions of the colors.  I don't own any of the other Naked palettes but this one is a must!


First, there is a pastel pink mat very nude, Then Dust is a powder pink glitter, Burnout (another pink glitter but this time a bit darker pulling over to brown), the Limit ( a beautiful old pink matte), Buzz ( a dark pink glitter ), the Trick ( with a golden pink hue ), the Nooner ( a matte beige brown), the Liar (which looks a little glittery like Nooner ), the Factory ( a glittery bronze) , the Mugshot ( a nice bronze draws closer to khaki ), the Darkside ( violet brown), and blackheart ( a plum black glitter )

The glitter is suspended in a gel, so it won’t separate in the bottle (which means you don’t need to shake the bottle like you do with watery formulas). Peach and cucumber extract condition the skin, while carrot extract smooths and softens.

Our lightweight, shimmering powder is baked on a terra cotta disc for 24 hours and then hand-finished, just like our popular Baked Bronzer. Baking the formula gives Naked Illuminated Shimmering Powder a high level of just-perfect shimmer (without the metallic look of cheaper formulas). It also provides the color payoff of a loose powder, with the convenience of a pressed powder.

Urban Decay MOONDUST AND SPACE COWBOY swatches and review

Ok I JUST got these in the mail and I was SO excited to open these up to swatch it that I got a paper cut lol.  These are AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL and SPARKLYYYYYY eyeshadows. Probably the most sparkly I've seen.  I only purchased 2 of the colors but after seeing them I may end up having to buy the rest of them.  I did notice that the tiny tiny glitters may fall off onto your face but if you use their primer and PAT on the eyeshadow rather than to smudge it on it should stay put :) Enjoy!







Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner color LSD swatch!

I have been looking for a good sparkly navy blue color eyeliner and I found the ONE! I of course love the urban decay 24/7 pencils so it was only natural to pick a blue from one of their new 40 colors!!!!! So far I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!! check it out :)

Amazonian Clay Double Detox Facial System Review and Swatches

So I received this as a sample from Sephora.com and it's really an amazing way for me to try a variety of new skin care products when they let me choose 3 samples or they offer a bonus size sample of something. 
This detox clay contains jojoba beads to exfoliate and resurface skin, sweet almond oil and avocado oil to replenish rehydrate and soften skin, bentonite clay that draws out excess oil and debris while boosting circulation, and Amazonian clay which purifies and balances and minimizes the appearance of pores.
Instructions: Prep skin by washing your face with your cleanser and while slightly damp put on the clay in a circular motion to exfoliate and then leave it on till it dries completely.
I left it on for about 20 min while I was posting other blog entries lol. I went to go wash it off and this stuff is hard to take off....the clay settled into all my pores and I felt like the clay was so fine that in can crawl into the crevices of my pores and work deep inside to clean it out.  I ended up using my clarisonic mia to get the rest of the residue off.  My skin felt refreshed and brighter but didn't feel dry at all and I can tell my pores did look a bit smaller from cleansing the debris out.  I heard great reviews on their Pure Maracuja oil and put that on right after but I'll save that for another blog entry.
You can find the double detox clay at Sephora.com Amazonian clay double detox facial system


Sephora Desert Sunset Eyeshadow and Blush Palette Review and Swatches

I'm always at Sephora picking up the latest items or going there just cause I'm bored to play with makeup and you know that line you have to go through and there's all these cute little travel size items that you end up picking up? Well this was one of them!  The colors in the palette seemed so every day wear friendly and at $16 who can resist????? I love all the colors and the swatches shown are only one swipe, if you swipe it twice the color is actually must more vibrant and intense.  Pair it with your favorite eyeshadow primer and you've got so many versatile looks you can achieve.  I also love that its very thin and compact so it's easy to carry around and has a mirror inside.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain Review and swatches

I saw an add for buy one get one 50% off revlon cosmetics at Rite aid so I had my bf rush me to the nearest Rite Aid I could find to get some things I wanted to try.  One of the things I picked up was the Relvon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain and I LOVE the saturation of the colors that I purchased.  They go on really smooth and you can layer the color application for more vibrancy.  I put on the lip stain at 9am and went to lunch at 12:30pm and after I ate I looked in the mirror and my lips looked like they were *just bitten* and had a nice stain on it even after I had eaten the stain off my lips with a burrito bowl lol.  The colors lasts till the end of the day even after the initial stain is long gone from my lips.  It feels pretty hydrating and non drying on my lips so I love that I can put on carmex after if I do feel a little dry but will still have a stain of color on my lips. 


Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer

I'm always on the lookout for a new concealer for my under eyes and I've always used the MAC select moisture cover concealer and found that it works well BUT I wasn't completely convinced with it.  Now that I've found the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer I am happy to say that this will be my new go to concealer.
The consistency of the concealer is very thick but it is very blendable, the coverage is from medium to high.  It comes in 10 shades that can match any skin tone and can be used as a highlighter or as a contour cream.  It has light diffusing technology so it's great for the under eye but can be used to cover up other blemishes.  I put on the concealer under my eyes around 11am and it lasted all day and all night and I even had a hard time washing it off so I know this is a concealer that will last and last.  There was very minimal creasing but if used with a primer I think that would fix the problem.  The colors do oxidize a little bit so be aware of that.  I have swatched 4 of the colors that I purchased.

Nars Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil Swatches and Review

I have been obsessed with jumbo lip pencils lately, they are just so convenient to carry!!!! My purse is already heavy enough with all the junk I put in there and throw in a couple heavy lipsticks and lip glosses and its like holding bricks on my shoulders! Jumbo Lip pencils have solved this problem for me so I've kind of been obsessed.

With that being said this is my first jumbo lip pencil that I am reviewing and let me tell you, the texture on the nars velvet gloss is as exactly as described.  It keeps my lips hydrated and and when I press my lips it feels like there is cushions in between my lips and it has pretty good staying power. It contains vitamin E, hyaluronic spheres that help to hydrate lips and phytosterol esther; ingredients that are known to moisturize and increase hydration.

My favorite color is Mexican Rose~! Here are some of the colors swatches.ightweight formula and enriched with Vitamin E plus a blend of moisture-rich hyaluronic spheres that make lips appear fuller.
