Review: Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette
Everyone loves Urban Decay, and last month they came out with a great matte palette. The new Naked Basics palette is just a 6 color palette but they are great for daily use, especially if you just want to go for a more natural makeup look. Check out the colors:
They are pretty neutral, that’s why this palette would work best for a natural look. You could definitely try a smoky eye with the last three colors and you could combine them with the Naked 1 or Naked 2 eyeshadow colors.
The package is very sturdy and small, which makes it easy to carry around and even though the palette is touted as a matte one, it does have a satin finish eyeshadow called Venus. I personally love this color because is great for highlighting the brow bone and inner eye without giving you a lot of shimmer, is just enough to illuminate your eye.
In summary, some people have complained that the Naked Basics palette only has a total of 6 colors but the colors are very long lasting even without primer, they are very pigmented, easy to blend and they have very little fall out. I definitely recommend this one, is a good staple of mattes to have available in your makeup stash. Is good quality at a good price.
You can find the Naked Basics palette at Urban Decay, as well as Sephora or Ulta.

This is the Buxom Big and Health lip cream and it was one of my wish list products for December AND I finally tried it out last week. I tried the White Russian and let me first start by saying that it is a great color. Nude, kinda of in between a light rose and peachy tone to it, a very pretty lip color if you are trying to go for a soft natural look or smoky eyes with nude lips. Continue reading »

What can I say about the Illamasqua Naked Rose blush… First of all I’ve been using Revlon blushes for a long time and I like them, I really do. The day I decided to purchase this one is because I wanted to try a high end blush and see if there was really a big difference. Continue reading »
It’s been a couple of days already since I received my Lorac Pro palette. I’ve been putting off the review for the Lorac Pro because obviously I wanted to play with it. Just days before receiving this palette I also received the Naked 2 so I really wanted to test both of them.
