Urban Decay Naked2 Palette

Hey everyone!

You will probably have heard the massive hype around the sequel to the cult favourite, Naked Palette. This went on sale on the 2nd December in the US, and as usual, we have to wait for it here in the UK... until February!

The palette comes with 12 neutral 'taupe and greige' shades, a mini lip gloss and a double ended brush. The case looks a lot more metallic and heavy duty than the first palette (which I still don't have!! :O )!! There are 5 brand new shades in this palette, three re-promotions and four permanent colours.

The shades included, from left to right, are:

• Naked: this is the namesake shadow which is a shimmery pink shadow.
• Half Baked: this shadow was in the original palette and is a shimmery golden bronze shadow.
• Booty Call: this is a brand new shade and it's described as a shimmery cork colour.
• Chopper: this is another permanent shadow which is a shimmery copper with silver glitter in it.
• Tease: this is a brand new shadow which is a matte pale brown.
• Snake Bite: another new shade which is a dark, shimmery bronze with metallic undertones.
• Suspect: the second re-promote in the palette. It's a shimmery golden beige shadow.
• Pistol: a brand new shade which is a shimmery grey/brown.
• Verve: the third re-promotion in the palette, it's a pearly pink, shimmery shadow.
• YDK: another permanent colour; this is a cool toned, metallic bronze.
• Busted: the last new shade. This is a shimmery deep brown.
• Blackout: a re-promotion. It's a matte black shadow.

The brush is the Good Karma double-ended shader and crease brush which is only available in the palette; it's also cruelty free! The mini lip gloss is a Lip Junkie gloss in Naked, which is quite a nice colour.

Overall, I do think this is quite a nice palette as I love my neutral eye shadows! If I had the original palette, I might think it's slight over kill as the two palettes do look quite similar... but I am an Urban Decay junkie who has been deprived of the first Naked Palette which means I am likely to get both!

My Wish List!

Hello everyone, I know I've been slacking with the blog and I am sooo sorry! But, my giveaway will be up next week, as promised, I will have a Glossy Box review and the most exciting: a report from my first ever blogging event! Woohoo!

Anyway, since we're fast approaching Christmas, I thought I'd share with you a few things I've been lusting after, but I can't afford, or I just can't justify buying it for myself before Xmas! Anyway, hope my little list of lusts will give you all some inspiration on gift ideas or what to put in your letter to Santa!

1. The new Nars Danmari All About Cheeks Pallete

Top: (from left to right) The left side of the Hungry Hearts Duo, Orgasm, Desire
Bottom: (from left to right) Casino, Super Orgasm, Sin

For £45, you get 6 blushes at 3/4 size, which is pretty good value! However, it's stll £45 that I don't have to spend on this big pallete of lovelyness! :(   If I don't get this for Christmas, I will definitely be treating myself because it's limited edition and I love it!

2. The Urban Decay Naked Pallete



Yes, I know I am seriously late on the band wagon to get this! I have been wanting this for a year - since it came out! Every time I tried to order it, it was out of stock and I can't get it in a shop near me either :(   It's £35 for 12 shadows - and who doesn't love a pallete full of shimmery and satiny neutrals anyway!?

3. The last thing on my list is a MAC gift card. I already treated myself to the holiday collection, so a MAC gift card will allow me to pick a few nice treats for myself during the next few months. I love the idea of giftcards because you don't have to spend them all at once! Who says Christmas has to end at midnight 25th December when you can still be getting presents in March!

What's on your wish list this year? Let me know in the comments!

Lots of love,
