things i love.

One of the things that I find so useful from other blogs are the reviews of items bloggers' have and/or use.  I kept reading about this awesome Urban Decay Naked Palette on so many bloggers' sites.  I was tempted... oh how I was tempted. (Note: It doesn't take much to tempt me into buying something!)  I searched high and low at all the local Sephora's and online.  N-O-T-H-I-N-G! It was sold out everywhere for what seemed like a year. Low and behold, one day in February, I happened to walk through a Sephora inside a JcPenney and there it was… one left. I snatched it up and I haven't looked back since.  I have used this baby daily since I purchased it.  Let’s just say, I dieeeee.   

What it is:

It's a universally flattering palette that features twelve neutral shades.  I was one of the lucky ones that got to purchase the first edition that came with double-ended eyeliner.  The new, second edition comes with an eye shadow brush. I can't attest to how well the eye shadow brush works, but the eyeliners are ah-may-zing (a la Rachel Zoe).  The palette also comes with a small bottle of their award winning Primer Potion.  Let me just say… I LOVEEEE this stuff.  Hey, I’m not going to lie, some nights are a little rough (if you catch my drift) and I forget to take my makeup off.  I wake up the next morning, and what’s this??  Eye shadow still in the same shade I applied it.  Once again, ah-may-zing.   


For the record, I have deep set dark brown eyes, and these shadows look as lovely on my toe-headed blue eyed sister. I have never been one for eye shadows due to my deep set eyes, but this palette has changed my outlook on eye makeup. The shades all blend so well together. You don't, by any means, need to be a makeup expert to appreciate the versatility of this palette.  I highly recommend this to any, and, everyone!  So, if you happen to see this while it is in stock, snatch it up!
