FOTD #3 - Naked 3 Palette

So about a month ago I finally got the Naked 3 palette by Urban Decay, and need I say more because we all know how amazing the Naked line is! I really love all the colours in this palette and I think that the pink and purple shades really compliment my eyes! So I have been wearing non stop, and thought I'd share with you one of the looks I've been wearing a lot recently on a day-to-day basis!

 So the products that I used on my face today are as followed and are in the order I used them with links too! Cause I'm just so good to you guys ;) 

Face 

- Nivea Daily Essentials Light Moisturising Day Cream

- L'Oreal Infallible 24H Foundation

- Zuzka Mineral Foundation

- SEVENTEEN Phwoarr Paint

- Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Powder

- Maybelline Dream Terra Sun Bronzer

- MUA Pro-Brow Eyebrow Kit

Eyes 

- Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden

- Maybelline Color Tattoo Cream Eyeshadow in Pink Gold

- Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

- Avon SuperShock Gel Eyeliner Pencil

- L'Oréal Paris Super Liner Perfect Slim Intense

- Avon Mega Effects Mascara

- Rimmel Scandaleyes Rockin Curves Mascara

Lips

- Zuzka Natural Lipgloss in Mango

So the Naked 3 pallette was the main focus to this look and I went a bit more suttle today than what I normally do, cause I feel I dont need to go 'out, out' to got dramatic! But after applying primer potion, cause gurrll got them oil eyelids! I use the maybelline collour tattoo in pink gold over, then applied the colour Dust (1) over that as the colours match perfectly and the colour tattoo helps the it stay. Then I took Buzz (2) and applied to the outer half of my eye to help darken the corner up a little. I used Nooner (3) next and applied to my crease and outer corner and worked up to ma desired smokeiness. After I took a tapered blending brush and used Darkside (4) and applied right in the crease to add more smoke and definition. Then lastly Strange (5) to highlight my brow bone. 

If you would like to see some different looks that I have done with the Naked 3 palette or another palette let me know and I'll be on it! If you would like to see any other FOTD's I've done then just click the links below! Until next have a lovely day...

FOTD #1 Seeing Family! 

FOTD #2 - Angels Last Sin

FOTD #2 - Angels Last Sin

Ages ago I did a Fotd and a lot of you really liked it and it is one of my most viewed posts as well! So I was thinking why I have never done another one? they are super easy to do and you guys like them so here we are! If you want to see my last one that I did forever ago you can read it - here!So my face of the day today is a look I wear quite often as its a soft smokey eye that's not too dramatic and easy to do! So I'm really bad a taking good pictures of my face so you can sorta see my makeup here ahah! Im a really awkward poser okay guys, my pictures either look really cheesey or bad!

So for the eye shadow I used the Urban Decay Vice 3 palette which I am in love with and if you want to see my review on the palette you can read it - here! So for my eyes I first primed with the primer potion, its the only primer I find that works well with my oily eyelids and is honestly worth the price! I used four different colours from this palette... oh and excuse the lose shadow all of my palette! 

The first being Last Sin, which is a pearly pink shimmer shade with silver glitter and I placed this over my lid,

Then Angel which is the colour blow Last Sin, this is a light taupe colour with silver glitter and I used this in the crease and worked up,

After Angle I used the colour below Defy, which is a smokey taupe colour and I put this in the crease too, to add more definition and make my shadow look more smokey however I only blended it out a little. As well as placing a little under my lower lash line,

Lastly I used Truth, that is a pale pink/nude matte colour which I used to highlight my inner corner of my eye and brow bone.

For the rest of the eyes after the eyeshadow, I used Seventeens Precision Eyeliner to line my eyes of course then Avons gel pencil eyeliner, on my tight line and water line, and its the best eyeliner ever! I use it everyday and a gel eyeliner as a pencil is so easy and an amazing idea! For mascara I used Rimmel Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves and I did a few layers with it. For lips I used a No7 High shin lip gloss in Whisper. 

So on my face I used the MUA pro base primer which evens out my skin tone before foundation, which I used the Rimmel Wake Me Up which is one of my favourite drug store foundations I have ever tried, as it is really light, has great coverage and is easy to apply with its liquidy consistency. And I've just used the last bit of it which I'm not happy about! For concealer I used Seventeens Phwoarr Paint which is a heavy duty concealer for under your eyes but I also use on my pigmentation and spots and Its amazing jeeze! You all have to try it so bad! To set all this I used Collections Ultimate Wear Powder.

For dem brows I used MUAs eyebrow kit which is the only thing I've ever used to fill in my brows and I want to try something new! So let me know what you guys use and what you would recommend for me. Again another MUA product (I'm not obsessed or anything!) which is the mosaic bronzer and I use a mini kabuki brush to apply. Lastly a little bit of Benefits Lolli Tint on ma cheeks! 

So yeah to the name of this post 'Angels Last Sin' I got it from the eyeshadows I used as I am terrible with coming up with names for FOTD's and OOTD's! If you guys want me to do more FOTD's then I will be happy to do so as I do change my makeup looks quite reguarly! Hope your having a wonderful day/night wherever you are!

Vice 3 Palette Review

Kinda a bit late on starting this whole new resolution where I'm gonna post 3 times a week, but I do have a rather valid reason (which actually ticks off one of my other resolutions!) I had numerous University e-portfolios and interviews to go to and if you have applied for Uni you will know how stressful it is! But I'm all done now so this week shall be the start of my 3 posts a week thingy ma bob, so lets do this thang!

So for Christmas I got this beauty of a palette... like if you you don't think this is a beauty you are blind! So where oh where do I start with this then, we all know that Urban Decay eyeshadow are the bomb.com and they never fail to impress. I own my fair few of Urban Decay palettes, and although for me the original Naked palette will be the best this one... could be it's next contender!

I'm just gonna jump off straight away and talk about the  eyeshadow,  you get a variety of matte and shimmer shades which are perfect to create a loud dramatic smokey eye or a more calm everyday one. Like always perfectly pigmented and to high quality!

The Vice 3 comes with 20 new shades to the Vice 2 palette which I love as I feel that Urban Decay do tend to repeat shades a lot. I feel that most of the shades are more on the warmer side which is great for autumn going into winter, however some of the shades like, Dragon, Freeze, Alchemy and Sonic will translate well in summer! The palette is also set out well with the columns that the shadows are in as they seem like the theme together all most. So for example there's a column of matte shades and a column of pinks, which is my favourite! I'm not the biggest lover of pink shades on me but I think I have converted the love. 

So these are the swatches for y'all, didn't realise how white I was aha oh and I'm really bad at swatch making to, so bare with me!

From top to bottom is 

Truth - Pale pink-nude matte,

Undone - Pink-beige, matte-satin with subtle tonal pearl,
Downfall - Warm light brown matte,
DTF - Taupe matte with subtle pearl,

Dragon - Bright metallic green shimmer,
Freeze - Metallic medium blue with multidimensional micro-glitter,
Heroine - Deep navy blue with subtle tonal pearl,
Brokedown - metallic golden brown shimmer with gold micro-glitter,

Vanity - Smoky metallic eggplant with multidimensional micro-glitter,
Lucky - Metallic bronze,
Reign - Rich brown satin,
Bobby Dazzle - Metallic white with pale gold micro-glitter,

Alien - Pink-peach with golden shift,
Alchemy - Deep fuchsia satin,
Bondage - Deep, smoky burgundy shimmer,
Sonic - Metallic red-copper,

Last Sin - Shimmer with silver micro-glitter,
 Angel - Light taupe with silver micro-glitter,
Defy - Smoky taupe satin,
Revolver - Soft black satin with subtle iridescent pearl.

The packaging is what makes it the beaut it is... it has this gorgeous reflective cover a almost like sunset streaks across it as well as crystallized lettering over the top which I love to feel aha  that weird?? The palette dose come with this little pouch to put it in which has the sunset streaks on too, and it feels nice and padded so it will protect the palette if you where ever to travel with it. 

I totally prefer this packaging to the previous palette, the Vice 2 palette that was mostly purple, but the Vice 3 defiantly amps up the luxury feel! As well as the large full sized mirror with a dual ended brush which was also featured in the Vice 2. However, it dose collect a tone of finger prints like its quite substantial!

Overall I do really love this palette and the shades, but I really think its down to personal preference to what type of shades you like. This palette was designed to be experimented with so if your like me and like to try new things then hit this up! It is quite pricey at £42 pound but I think that Urban Decay palettes are really worth the money if you know you are going to use it day in and day out.

I hope you liked this review and found it helpful! If you have this palette like me know your thoughts on it down below as well as your faveorite shades to use! Until next time have an awesome amazing day....
