Review: Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

If you've been following this blog for awhile, you've probably already know that I've been loving neutral eyeshadows lately, so there's no way I'll miss the chance to get a hold of this palette!

But to be honest, when I got this I wasn't sure if I would love this as much as I loved the Original Naked palette. However, when I swatched it and played with it, I was blown away! I just liked how it looked against my skin and it's confirmed! I love this as much as I love the Original Naked palette!

I liked how they change the packaging material from cardboard to tin, but I'm liking how it looks like a pencil case. But I still like the packaging of this than its predecessor. Another change I liked is the addition of a double side brush, a crease/blending brush on one side and a flat shadow brush on another. One change I didn't like is they included a mini Lip Junkie instead of a mini Primer Potion. I just didn't care for the Lip Junkie! It's so sheer it just looked like a clear gloss with a bith of shimmer on my lips.

As far as the quality of these shadows goes, Urban Decay still gives you fantastic quality! The eyeshadows are are pigmented and binds to the skin nicely. The only down side is that some of the eyeshadows will have glitter fallouts. But overall the quality is still above average. I hope they repeated the "Naked" or "Buck" shade instead of "Half Baked". As for the color selection, this palette features more cooler shades as Urban Decay calls it "griege" compared to the Original Naked palette. I love Snake Bite, Suspect, and Verve! Do check out the swatches below!

Do you still need this even if you have the Original Naked? Well, if you love neutral eyeshadows like I do, the answer is a big YES! You need this in your life! But if not you're a neutral eyeshadow junkie like I am, then I guess just having one of the naked palette would do. If you ask me whivk naked palette I prefer, sorry but I can't answer that because I both love them the same!

By the way, stay tuned for my valentine's day look tutorial featuring this palette!

Something New: Urban Decay Naked2 Palette

Yup! I got the new Urban Decay Naked2! I'm liking the new packaging since it's more sturdy and shut close. I also love the brush included though I would have prefer that they included a mini udpp rather than a mini lip junkie. A more concrete review plus swatches and comparison with the original Naked palette to follow!

Urban Decay Mini Haul/Review (Found my HG lipgloss!) & Mini Blog Sale & Announcement

Earlier this week,  my Urban Decay haul has arrived!
Here's what I bought!
2 pieces each of Pocket Rocket Lipglosses in Eric, James, and Timothy!

You might be wondering why I bought 2 of each...
Nope, I didn't bought this because of the nude men LOL
To know why please read til the end of this post ;P

I found my new HG Lipglosses!
These are definitely HG material!
Here's a review & why this toppled my previous HG MAC Dazzleglass and Cremesheenglass!

What Urban Decay Say about these glosses:

"Our juicy gloss is slick, sexy, and extra-shiny, infused with a yummy creme brulee flavor and hylauronic spheres to keep lips looking full. Slip this rocket in your pocket. The case is super slim (no unsightly bulge), and laced with pheromones... give it a rub to unlock them."

My take on these:
I wuuuvvvvv them!!!
I've tried them before (from a friend) and fell in love ever since!
First, the packaging... I love the packaging!
Again, not because of those hot undressing dudes nor the pheromones, but because the shape of the tube is so genius! It's so pocket friendly and let me tell you that this won't get lost in your purse!
Next, These have the consistency of the Dazzleglasses, but none of the stickiness!
The scent in these glosses is to DIE FOR!!!
These glosses smell amazing and yummy! These smell not really like creme brulee but more of a caramel and just a hint of the creme brulee or flan scent!
These glosses taste a bit sweet too!
These glosses differ in pigmentation depending on which shade you pick, which is great meaning you have more to choose from!
These have extremely wonderful brush applicator! The brush holds just the right amount of product!
These glosses pretty much last longer than Dazzleglasses!
And yes, the hyaluronic spheres works! It makes your lips fuller a bit (without stinging) in a sense that your lips will look more defined!
And these hyaluronic spheres are amazing because it completely plumped up the tiny cracks or lines in my lips and my lips looked perfect!!! (No joke!)
These glosses doesnt contain glitters or shimmers but it contains glowing (not the glow in the dark type) materials one of its kind!
Plus, you get 0.27 oz per tube which is 4.5 times more than you get on a Dazzleglass!
I haven't tried seducing men using the pheromones, but I'll update you on that! JOKE! LOL

Here are the close up of the shades I chose...


James (Sheer bright pink with pretty ultraviolet glow) Sheerest of the three...
Timothy (Very Pigmented Coral Pink with Pink glow) Most pigmented of the three...
Eric (Sheer Unique Red) This one is between Timothy and James pigmentation range wise... This one is the essential among the bunch, since this will give you that just bitten lips! I haven't found any gloss that have this shade of red! 


The reason why I bought 2 pieces of each is that these glosses are so so good that it pains me that only some people in the Philippines could get a hold of these glosses... 
So I'm selling these 3 glosses to anybody interested for 1200PHP each..
But if you plan on buying all 3 I'll just give it to you for 3200PHP...
If you're interested just comment below with the shade you like and your email..
First come first serve! I'll also include a lil surprise something from MAC...
I'll email you for payment details! 
Also open for swapping!

EDIT - PENDING (ALL 3 GLOSSES)



BTW The Winner of the last giveaway is Crystal (musicalfanlovesminerals)...
Crystal, Please send me your address!

Mail Haul!

A package arrived late this afternoon from the very nice Bathalami Chua.
She hooked me up! I've been lemming for the UD Ammo and Stila Smudge Pot ( it's sis Nikki's of Askmewhats fault for making me lem these lovely Smudge Pots I haven't tried 'em on my eyes yet but upon swatching, I think I'm gonna love it ;p)


The UD Ammo is so pretty! Though it's smaller than expected, but no biggie the shadows are pigmented so little goes a long way! The photos didn't do it justice! I swatched the eyeshadows without a primer, and it appears more vivid in person. But this palette is not for everyone. I love shimmers/glitters but I still find some of the shadows too glittery but all are pretty!!! Just an FYI, the Sin e/s looks the same as UPP Sin...
I haven't tried this so I can't give much info about this, but based on what sis Nikki's raves, it must be really good! Can't wait to try these! FYI, the smudge pot in the set is just half size of the normal ones...

Thanks again Bathalami Chua and Congratulations! I hope you have a safe delivery and healthy child!
