NAKED 2 PALETTE





£36.00 from Debenhams*

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past year, you would of heard about Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette. This is the second of the naked palette (hence the name) and has more cooler tones than the first. This comes with a doubled ended brush, a flat shader and a crease brush. It also comes with a sample size Lip Junkie lip gloss in Naked. It took me a while to finally get my hands on this palette, but I have literally used it every single time I've worn makeup. This is the second time I have jumped on the Naked palette bandwagon, and once again haven't regretted it. The shadows are highly pigmented and have a silk-like feel to them. I find them easy to blend and if you tap you're brush, you hardly get any fall out. They have no scent as you would expect from an eyeshadow. It comes with 12 shades and five exclusive new shades. The shadows are (L - R):
  • Foxy (Matte)
  • Half Baked (Shimmer)
  • Bootycall (Frost)
  • Chopper (Shimmer)
  • Tease (Matte) Exclusive
  • Snakebite (Shimmer) Exclusive
  • Suspect (Shimmer)
  • Pistol (Shimmer) Exclusive
  • Verve (Shimmer)
  • YDK (Shimmer)
  • Busted (Shimmer)
  • Blackout (Matte
I prefer the packaging of the Naked 2 to the original. The original seemed to attract mess and didn't seem as durable as the second. The fact that it's metal kind of gives it that high-end feel. I love this palette and I prefer it to the original as I like the cooler shades in it. Something that I don't like about it is the fact that they both have Half Baked in them. I understand that it's a popular shade but I think that there should be another matte in it. Other than that, it is amazing and I can over look this haha. I would totally recommend it to anybody and if for some reason I manage to use it all up, I would buy this palette again. Thanks for reading, have you tried this palette? What do you think of it? Let me know below!

CHLOE REVIEWS: SLEEK OH SO SPECIAL EYE SHADOW PALETTE


Hello, hope you're all well! I'm currently watching Chicago so I thought while I'm here, I may as well do a post. I hauled this product a few weeks ago, so I've given it a go test and here is what I thought..


What the website says - 'It’s the ultimate i-Divine that every woman should have in her possession, with 12 flattering on-trend shades to suit all skin tones no matter what the occasion, the Oh So Special palette will always deliver the perfect results. 
Take your look from day time chic with matte browns and creamy beiges, through to sultry evening glamour with shimmering grays and smokey plums.   A make-up bag staple and a must-have i-Divine you can rely on, so no matter where you are or what you’re doing you’ll look Oh So Special!
We've recently given our i-Divines a makeover! The outer packaging has been updated and the way the eye shadows are pressed are different. They are now pressed flat instead of the original waffle print.'

Texture and pigmentation - The texture is incredibly buttery and soft for a drugstore palette. There is a bit of fall out from the shadows but it's nothing you can't wipe away. The pigmentation is also amazing. There is a mixture of matte and shimmer shadows which is why this palette is right up my street!

 1st row L to R - Bow, Organza, Ribbon, Gift Basket, Glitz and Celebrate
2nd L to R - Pamper, Gateau, The Mail, Boxed, Wrapped Up and Noir

Scent - The scent is a powdery smell as you would expect with any eye shadow, so it shouldn't effect any with sensitive eyes. 

Packaging and Price - The packaging has the same classic matte packaging as Nars. This means that it's a bugger at attracting dirt. It's plastic and sleek, as well as durable. You can pick this up from Superdrug or SleekMakeup.com for £6.49.

I hope you all fall in love with these eyeshadows as much as I have and consider buying it, it really is amazing. If you have already tried this palette, let me know what you think in the comments below. Thank you for reading guys, it really means a lot!
