Naked 3 Palette Review

I feel like every time I write a blog post it's about how sorry I am... wooops.

Anyway Merry Christmas and Happy new year. Today I am going to be writing about the very anticipated Naked 3 Palette by Urban Decay. I have previously bought the Naked 2 palette and I absolutely love it, its so gorgeous and filled with the perfect nudes. As I loved it so much, I decided to go out and buy the Naked 3 Palette.

Firstly the packaging on the Naked 3 is divine. It is a ruffled rose gold coloured case. It stills has the same font as the other Naked palettes. All of the Naked Palettes (there is 3) contain a small gift, this one is no exception. On the first Palette there was a small tube of Urban Decay's primer potion, on the second Palette there was a small tube of an Urban Decay lipgloss and on this Palette there was 4 or 5 small testers of their variety of primer potions. This palette also contains a brilliant double sided brush.

The cost of these Palette's is £37 each. Which may seem pricey but is actually a very good deal. I bought the Naked 2 Palette in April 2012 and it is in perfectly good shape and none of the shades have hit pan even though i've used it everyday. If we compare the palette to MAC eyeshadows(which retail at £10 each) then this palette is an amazing deal.


The colours on the Naked 3 are rose colours (pink toned). For me this is perfect as pink really goes with my blue/green shaded eyes however on some people these shades may seem like they have a disease called pig eye..oops. Basically what i'm trying to say is these tones may not suit everyone and it may be better to go for the Naked 2 palette which is all nude browns.

However these shadows are super duper pigmented, They last all day are are amazing shades. I personally love the shades dust, burnout, buzz and trick. There is a variety of matte shades and shimmery shades, which I really enjoy.

These shadows look brillant when you use them with the Urban Decay Primer Potion, which makes the shadow last all day.

I would highly recommend this product if you want a eye shadow that will stay on all day and brighten up your eyes, if you don't think this product will suit you, I recommend investing in the Naked 1 or Naked 2 palette.

Next week I will be uploading a Naked 3 Palette tutorial so stay tuned.

Recent Favourites
I don't really know how to start this blog post however I thing a apology would be a good start.
IM SORRY!!! I haven't done a beauty blogpost for a whole month. I have missed it terribly and feel ever so bad about it although I pinky promise I will post more frequently from now on.

I am also considering to start making Youtube videos as I my communication skills are sooo much better than my writing skills. However I feel I would get bullied to eternity by my pals sooo maybe not.

Anyway Enough of my pointless rambling... Today I am going to show you my recent favourites. I would call this my October Favourites however its the middle of November so its a tad late. This month I haven't done much makeup shopping although i've used some new products.

MUA- Heaven and Earth Palette
I absolutely love wearing eye shadow, I really think it makes you look amazing. Although eye shadow can be really expensive and I don't have enough money for luxurious eye shadow. I bought this palette a couple of weeks ago and it only costs £4, yes you read correctly it only costs £4. If im completely honest with you it is incredible, it not only gives you a natural smokey eye but it lasts ages. A lot of bloggers/ beauty gurus have said its a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked Palettes which retail at around £30.00. Therefore this product is incredible. It can be purchased only at Superdrug.

Mac Eyeshadow- Omega
There is nothing worse than a blonde girl drawing her eyebrows in with a eyebrow pencil waaaay too dark for her hair colour. I would know i've been there (insert awful example here)

To be fair to myself this isn't that bad however those brows are buzzing. Anyway to solve this hideous problem I have a bought myself the Omega eye shadow by Mac which was recommended by a number of beauty gurus. I didn't realise that you could use a eyeshadow to fill in your brows but apparently its legal. It looks sooo natural and I would highly recommend it if you have fair hair. Even though it is slightly pricey, I would recommend it.

Mac Lipstick- RiRi Woo
If i'm 100% honest I am not the biggest fan of Rihanna. However she has recently launched a makeup collection with mac and it is divine. As you are aware (if you've read my previous blog posts that is) I am obsessed with lipstick (especially red). Therefore when my dad visited America last month I asked him to pick up her lipstick RiRi Woo. I love it, it is the perfect red for me and its amazing. However it is very similar to Russian Red by mac but I still love it.

Primark Shirts
I am going to put my hands up and admit it, I am a Primark Snob. I absolutely HATED Primark with a passion. I hated going in there, I hated the smell, I hated the clothes, I hated the material of the clothes and I hated the scruffiness of it. I just hated it. However on my recent trip to London I visited the one on Tottenham Court Road and I actually survived a whole half an hour in there. I don't really know what came over me, I found clothes I liked, I didn't want to throw up every two seconds and I didn't feel like cleaning the place up. I found some really lovely shirts in Primark, which were only £11 each. I think they are really nice for the price and even though the material on them isn't the best, they aren't too bad.

                                     

Benefit- Boing Concelear 
When I first started wearing makeup, I remember I didn't used to wear foundation, I only wore this. I've obviously re-purchased it since then however I didn't wear it for a while. Recently i've been using it a lot as a base for my foundation and its been hiding spots and blemishes really well and I have really been enjoying wearing it. I know its slightly pricey however it's worth it. I've nearly ran out aswell ooooops.

Shower Gel- Vanilla and Raspberry
If you could imagine heaven in a bottle, it would be this shower gel. I cannot even express how delicious this shower gel smells, I really wish you all could smell it through the screen but no technology isn't that advanced yet. For me this is the perfect scent however if you aren't really a big fan of sweet smells then its probably not the best. However i've been loving this as it smells good, does the job and its a great price. I believe I bought this from Superdrug on sale for 99p but other shops may vary.

BLOGGER

October was a really good month for me. I went on about a million job interviews and kept getting rejected however I FINALLY have a job, yay! Apart from that I have been really happy and haven't really done anything special but here are some pictures from october.

The Philippines 


On the news very recently, there has been a lot of talk about typhoons in the Philippines. This has saddened me very much as I personally visited the Philippines on a missionary in 2012. I have a big heart for the Philippines and my trip was a once in a lifetime experience. To show you more I have attached a video I made last year of my trip. I hope you enjoy the video and please pray for everyone who was in the Typhoon.

Lots of Love

How To: Style Different Red Lipsticks

I don't know about you but I never know when it is appropriate to wear red lipstick. I never know if it will make my outfit too dressy or if it will go with my outfit. Red lipstick is my absolute favourite and there isn't just one shade of red!!

My mother always tells me off when I buy a new lipstick...
Mum: You already have a red lipstick
Me: BUT ITS DIFFERENT!!!!

anyway here are a few examples of how I style red lips.

Things to bare in mind in advance

• I am not a model so I look dreadful!
• The extreme close-ups of my lips makes my lips look awful and that I havent applied it properly, its just because I have strange shape lips and i'm not a makeup artist

enjoy.

Dressy/Night Out

Maybeline Colour Sensational Lipstick in 530 Fatal Red- £7.19 (Superdrug)

Sorry for the bad application

Dress- River Island

Dressy/Night Out

For a dressy/night out I would use this lipstick from Maybeline. I like it as it is not completed matte however stays on for hours. It has a lovely shimmer and look good on all ages. I feel it will also suit all skin colours and its not too expensive.  The colour is also rather beautiful.

Gothic/Dark

Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish Lipstick in 107- £5.50 (Tesco)

Shirt- New look £17.99
Black Jeggins- New look 

Gothic/Dark

You are properly thinking "Gothic? This isn't gothic!". However I am extremely fair so being fully gothic would look awful. I love this look so much, I think its great for people like me who are very pale. I mentioned this lipstick in my september favourites because I love it that much! It also has a lovely red tint in it and I love red so I love this lipstick. I would avoid this lipstick if you have really dark skin because it may not look to good. I also absolutely love this shirt, well I love shirts in general and usually I don't suit black however I like this. 

Casual/Everyday

Mac Lipstick in Russian Red- £15.00

Not a very good picture
Dress- Next
Cardigan- Primark (£6)

Casual/ Everyday
This is one of my favourite looks to wear. Although I do find it hard to put red lipstick with a casual outfit because I am always scared of looking like a clown. Anyway I love this lipstick, possibly one of my favourites. It suits most skin types and looks fabulous on everyone. I feel this lipstick goes really nicely with my hair and makes me feel happy (I am so weird). This lipstick is completely matte so I recommend if you have quite dry lips then apply a lip balm before application.

Cherry Red Lipstick

Mac Lipstick in So Chaud- £15.00

Shirt- New Look
Jeans- River Island

Cherry Red Lipstick/Bright Lipstick
I love bright lipstick however I hardly wear it because i'm so scared of it. I really like this one by mac as it has a slight orange tint to it. I feel this lipstick would mainly suit people with blonde hair. I really love this outfit, I wear it all the time... quite literally.


What I'm Wearing On My Face

• Mac Studio Fix Fluid Foundation in NW10/NC15

Top 3 Drugstore Foundations



I don't know about you but I can't always afford to splurge out on a high end foundation. I mean I treat myself once in a while but i'm a teenager ,we never have money as we keep spending it! So I thought it would be handy to share my top three drugstore (low-end/ cheaper) foundations. Hope you enjoy.




P.s Please avoid how messy the bottles are, I'm a messy person... oops

Bourjois- Healthy Mix Serum- £10.99

I bought this foundation as it was recommended by lots of my favourite youtubers. I am very pale so I have the lightest shade which is 51- Light Vanilla (how embarrassing). Its nice as it is a low coverage foundation but still covers blemishes and imperfections. It also has a beautiful dewy finish and is really nice for school as you have some coverage but its not cakey!

LO'real- True Match Foundation- £9.99

I bought this foundation as I saw my friend Emily using a LO'real one which looked really good. So I went to boots and bought this. However hers was a completely different one...oops. But I am in love with this foundation! I am in the shade Rose Ivory. However at the moment this is slightly too light for my skin as I came back from holiday a month ago but I  still love it. I like it as they have a wide variety of shades, the coverage is fabulous and it doesn't look cakey! I think the price is fabulous as well.

Rimmel- Wake Me Up Foundation- £8.99
This foundation is the cheapest of the three however it is lovely! I did mention this in my last blog post but its only because I can't stop raving about it. My shade is 100 Ivory, I have to really blend this in as sometimes it can look orangey. I love this foundation as it has a fantastic dewy finish (some people don't like a dewy finish, but I do). I also love the fact that it makes you look so much more awake than you actually are. It makes you have a radiant glow.




I hope you enjoyed reading this post, See ya soooon!
