The Cherry On Top // Urban Decay Naked Cherry Palette Review

Wow I'm actually sitting down to review something that isn't a Birchbox 😂 I've been meaning to write this post since October when I got this palette, but as usual school and other life stuff have meant it's taken until now to do!
RRP £42

 This palette originally launched in September as a new instalment of Urban Decay's Naked series. I was really excited by it, as it's very different to all of the other Naked palettes out there and I'm a sucker for anything remotely pink-toned. It retails for £42, making it one of the more expensive palettes in the Naked series, and inside are 12 beautiful berry-toned shades:
  • Hot Spot - a matte ivory shade. I always use these for setting my eyeshadow primer and as a browbone highlight shade.
  • Caution - a neutral matte beige.
  • Bang Bang - a pink shimmer.
  • Feelz - a dusty rose matte shade.
  • Juicy - a peachy pink matte. This is a great transition shade.
  • Turn On - a gorgeous rose-gold metallic shade.
  • Ambitious - a metallic copper rose.
  • Bing - a dusty mauve shade.
  • Devilish - a deep matte plum colour.
  • Young Love - this is almost the metallic version of Bing, so pretty!
  • Drunk Dial - a deep metallic brown.
  • Privacy - a deep reddish brown shade.
I think I've probably said this a million times, but in my opinion, Urban Decay easily have my favourite formula when it comes to eyeshadows - they're super buttery which makes them so easy to blend and always beautifully pigmented. I also really love the brush that came with this palette. There's a fluffy side for blending and a smaller brush for more precise application, although I like using it for placing shadows on the lower lashline. The only negative thing I could say about this palette is that there is a little bit of kickback and fallout, but to be honest, neither of those things a big deal-breakers for me so I'm not even going to class it as a negative! 


I also thought I'd share a little look I created using this palette. I followed a tutorial that Chloe Morello posted on YouTube and I'm really pleased with how it came out, especially as I wouldn't normally attempt a look like this!

I started with the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, followed by my Revolution Conceal & Define concealer (I always use a concealer before I apply my eyeshadow as I like to have an even base to start with) I then set that with Hot Spot. Using the fluffy end of the brush that came with the palette, I used Feelz on the inner and outer corners of the eye. I then deepened that shade with Bing, followed by Devilish. I then took another fluffy brush and used Bang Bang to blend through the crease, using my finger to apply it all over the lid. Then I used Privacy to deepen the outer corners and added Bing on my lower lashline. Finished off with some Stila Huge mascara and some Eyelure false lashes! I would definitely recommend doing the eyeshadow before you apply your foundation as there was a little bit of fallout from some of the shades.

 I am absolutely in love with this palette, I think it's stunning and definitely my favourite in the Naked series! 💕

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick "Morning After" Review

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in "Morning After" *New favourite lipstick alert*  This lipstick is seriously giving me life right now! I bought it a couple of weeks ago and since then I've been constantly reaching for it. It's part of the Vice lipsticks collection from Urban Decay, which comes in 100 different shades and 6 different finishes (Comfort Matte, Cream, Metallized, Sheer, Sheer Shimmer and Mega Matte) and they're priced at £15. This one is from the Sheer range, it's a light nude shade that's more on the pink side. What I really love about is how buildable it is in terms of colour; one coat and you just get that really subtle, pink sheen to your lips or you can build it up into a super-glossy pink look! The only bad thing I can say about it is that they haven't made this shade in the matte finish because it would be so perf! (I think the closest you'll get in this finish is "Backtalk")

Why I Came Off The Pill // Honesty Time

I wasn't 100% sure if I was going to write about coming off The Pill or not. I personally think that a lot of people, especially women, feel that they can't talk about contraception and the effects it has openly. I recently read a blog by Alex Jones (her Instagram account is @alexgracejones if you'd like to have a look) which pretty much convinced me to write this. As Alex says in her blog, contraception is a conversation I've had with friends so many times, and yet outside of those circles, you don't really hear anyone speak about it. Personally, as a woman, I've always felt it's pretty much been up to me to make sure I don't get pregnant, whether that's taking hormonal contraception or using a condom. It seems odd to me then, that there aren't many women out there talking openly about their contraception, so I think it's time we changed this! I originally went on The Pill when I was 17 because my periods were really irregular and very h...
