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. Ambitio...

If Wanderlust Was an Eyeshadow Palette... // Urban Decay Born to Run Palette Review

I think this is probably my last post of 2018, so it seemed fitting to end the year with one of the best purchases I've made! I am honestly so impressed by this palette - it was originally released over the summer and features 24 beautiful shades and a full-size mirror, and I can tell this will definitely be a staple for whenever I travel as it's such a versatile palette. I actually bought this in October with some birthday money but I just haven't had time to sit down and write a blog post unfortunately. RRP £39.50 The palette is priced at £39.50, which is fairly standard for an Urban Decay eyeshadow palette. You get a really beautiful range of shades, from warm mattes to gorgeous jewel tones, which means you can create a real variety of looks with it: Breakaway - a shimmery ivory colour. I love this as a browbone highlight as it's quite subtle! Stranded - a champagne shimmer. Blaze - a shimmery peachy pink shade with a gorgeous gold shift. Weekender - a ...

Feeling Hot Hot Hot // Fenty Beauty Moroccan Spice Palette Review

It feels pretty fitting to be writing a post on one of this summer's hottest eyeshadow palettes whilst simultaneously melting due to Britain's current heatwave situation! So Fenty released the Moroccan Spice palette back in July and honestly I have been lusting after it ever since! I probably wouldn't have ended up getting it (it retails for £42 and I would have had to pay postage on it as I don't have a Harvey Nichols near me back home in Suffolk) however while I was in Italy earlier this summer I had a few Euros left over and the Sephora in Lucca happened to have it in stock - it worked out a bit cheaper to buy it over there as well and to be honest that's all the convincing I needed! The palette came out as part of a new launch from Fenty that included a liquid eyeliner, an eyeshadow primer and two new eyeshadow brushes. For £42, you get 16 shadows (7 matte and 9 shimmer/glitter) so it is more on the expensive side when I compare it to the other pale...

Life's a Peach // TooFaced Just Peachy Mattes Palette Review

Don't worry, I am still alive! I've been a bit quiet on the blogging front recently because I've had all my end-of-term assessments at drama school so I've had to focus on those for the last couple of weeks, but I'm back baby! I think they all went pretty well (well enough to get me into second year at least anyway) and I'm now back home in sunny Suffolk for the rest of the summer! I thought I'd start back with a review that I've been meaning to do for about a month now and I think this product is going to be perfect for summer!

Urban Decay Backtalk Palette and Hi-Fi Shine Review

I am so excited about writing this review - I have been lusting after this palette for MONTHS and it's finally been released in the UK! This palette is inspired by a Vice lipstick shade of the same name and it features 8 eyeshadows, 2 blushers and 2 highlighters. The whole palette is full of really beautiful mauve/pink shades, which was initially what drew me to it as I really love those tones! It retails for £39.99 which is fairly standard for an Urban Decay palette. I also purchased one of their new Hi-Fi Shine lipglosses in the shade "Backtalk" - these glosses are £15 each, so again fairly standard pricing for lip products from this brand.

Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics Palette Review

Oh my goodness, ok so you don't even understand my excitement for being able to write this blog post! I have been lusting after this palette ever since Urban Decay announced its release over the summer. It was released in the UK in October and ever since then I have been praying for an excuse to go and buy it. Thankfully that excuse came when I covered a shift at the Fat Face store in Stansted airport with a side-mission of blowing my wages in duty-free. It's priced at £38.50 and features 12 brand new matte shades that are exclusive to this palette, so you won't find them on any other Urban Decay eyeshadow palette. You also get a double-ended brush thrown in too, which has a fluffy blending end and a stubby brush for smudging. As you've probably guessed from my blogs, I'm a huuuuuuuuuuge Urban Decay fan (to the point where it's become a bit of a problem that I need to address). I already own the Naked 3 palette as well as an MUA Hall of Fame palette, which bo...

Urban Decay XX Vice LTD Reloaded Palette Review

To celebrate 20 years of their cosmetics line, Urban Decay released a new, limited edition palette, the XX Vice LTD Reloaded. The palette features 20 shadows, a mixture of newer shades and vintage shades that go right back to the beginning. It also has 3 new colours included. As a self-declared UD junkie, I was desperate to get my hands on this palette. It soon sold out online but it's still available at some concessions in Debenhams. The palette also comes with a large mirror and a double-ended brush like most of the other palette ranges. I also received some samples of the Primer Potion (I've heard good things about this so I'm excited to try it) and 24 sample shades of the Vice Lipsticks, which , if you've read my review of Morning After, you know I love!
