10 Shades of Smoked...

As you can see, I've become quite enamored with the "50 Shades" trilogy, anyone else find it that addicting? Anyway, who is excited about the Urban Decay's new Smoked palette? (me, me, me!)

Sure there's a few repeats, but who doesn't just love a new UD palette? Oh and let me tell ya how excited I am about trying their new "Naked" foundation! I just wasn't impressed with Benefit's "Hello, Flawless Oxygen  Wow" foundation....Here's a rundown:

It dosen't cover nearly as well as I thought it would.
It feels like it's just sitting on top of your face.
Doesn't blend well.
Doesn't stay put.

But if you're just looking for something really light and quick, it feels more like a tinted moisturizer to me... And it is somewhat brightening. Maybe it's just me, thoughts?

See you next time for a "Smoked" & "Naked review ;) And hopefully a Birchbox "haul"!

Febru-favorites!

It's been a while since I posted anything, so I thought I'd do a few of my favorite things from this year!

Naked 2 palette by Urban Decay - I was so excited to get this baby for Christmas! Much like the first one, but just as beautiful! I love all these colors, I believe most of them are new as well.

It even comes with a two sided brush that is fan-tab-u-lous! One side is fluffy and the other is a flat brush.

and also includes a gloss in "Naked"! It's so beautiful on! It looks great paired with the "Naked" lip pencil. I definitely give this palette a 5/5 stars just like the original palette!



Urban Decay's 15th Anniversary palette! This thing is a beaut! It's got fancy case with a mirror and all... If your a big Urban Decay lover like me, you'll want this!
All 15 of these shadows are brand new! I've been going to raves lately and these colors are so perfect! But also good for a neutral look!

Okay, so I'm not the biggest nail polish fanatic. But I absolutely love this Zoya polish in "Demin" I got in my Birchbox (If you don't know what Birchbox is check it out here! I'll do a post when I get my next one.) I la-la-love demin, so I definitely dug this color! Zoya is a great product and all natural! You can purchase it on their website here: Zoya.com


Last time I got my hair cut my stylist (Liz at Looking Good Spa) recommended this stuff to me & raved about how much she loved it. SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! It's a little pricey, about 27$ for shampoo, 27$ for conditioner. But I got this sweet deal in the photo: shampoo, conditioner, full size hair spray, & a fancy headband for about 50$! I really adore this stuff, it's so hydrating, and smells amazing. You only need a small amount too, so it lasts a long time, plus it's all natural, and 100% Vegan!

Hope everyone has a great "hump" day!
