Review - Naked 3 palette♡

Hello lovelies! Sorry I haven't posted in a while as I have had a lot of things going on at school! But today I thought I would do a review on the gorgeous Naked 3 palette. I received the Naked 3 palette at Christmas and I have been using it non stop! Recently I've been loving Urban Decay and I've had my eye on the Naked Flushed palette which comes with a bronzer, highlight and a gorgeous pink blush.
Here is a photo on what the outside of the palette looks like and the inside.
These colours are more to the pink side as the Naked 1 & 2 are more Neutral and Smokey.

I will start with the lighter side of the palette which have pink shades and golden shades.
The shades on the lighter side are called Strange,Dust,Burnout,Limit,Buzz and Trick and they are all so lovely. Strange is the perfect highlight colour as it's a very light cream colour. Limit is the perfect crease colour as it's not too dark,so if you want more of a pinky natural look I would definitely go for this colour. My favourite colours from the lighter side would have to be Burnout and Buzz as they are neither too dark or too light.

Now on to the darker side of the palette♡
The shades on the darker side are called Nooner,Liar,Factory,Mugshot,Darkside and Blackheart. I definately wear more of the darker side of the palette as I wear a subtle smokey eye on a regular basis. Nooner is the perfect taupey matte brown colour for a smokey eye and I wear this colour in the crease everyday. I've been loving Liar and Mugshot recently as they are very pigmented and have the most gorgeous shimmer to them. I can't just pick one favourite as I love them all♡
Also the palette comes with a brush as it does with all the other Naked palettes. On one side it has a broad brush which is the best for the crease. On the other side it has a thin shader brush and is the best for blending colours together. The Naked 3 Palette is £37.00 which I think is a bit pricey but worth it as the colours are beautiful. I purchased mine at Debenhams♡

Lots of love

Natural makeup look♡

Hello lovelies and welcome back to my blog. It feels like I haven't posted in forever! but today I am going to do a really lovely natural makeup look hope you enjoy♡
Products I'm using for this look:
♡ Naked 3 palette by Urban Decay
♡ Nars Blush in Deep Throat
♡ the Porefessional primer by Benefit
♡Stay Matte powder by Rimmel
♡ Revlon lash potion mascara
♡  Rimmel Wake me up concealer and Collection lasting perfection
♡ Vitalumière Aqua foundation by Chanel
♡ Rouge Coco Shine lipstick in Saga
♡ Stila lip glaze in Splendor
Firstly I'm going to apply one of my favourite primers ever which is the Porefessional primer by Benefit. This applies so smoothly and leaves your skin looking so healthy.
Next for foundation. For this look I'm wanting something a little bit more lighter and the Vitalumière Aqua foundation does the job perfectly! I blend that evenly all over my face with the Real Techniques Expert face brush.
Everyday I use these two concealers and they work brilliant together. I firstly use Rimmel's wake me up concealer which is a bit lighter than collection lasting perfection concealer. Then I use the Collection concealer beside it and blend them both together with the Real Techniques Domed shadow brush.
For powdering I'm going to be using Rimmel's Stay Matte powder which I've been loving recently. It just sets everything so perfectly and makes your skin look lovely.
Now for my favourite part of this makeup look eyes!♡
Because this makeup is natural I'm not going to use a lot of eye shadow:         

♡I'm starting off with Dust(second one one the left) which is this beautiful shimmery pink and apply that all over the lid. 
♡ For the crease I'm going to be using Limit(4th eyeshadow) which is this gorgeous taupe colour with an undertone of pink.
♡ Then take your finger or a small pointed brush and apply an inner corner highlight I will be taking Strange (first one in this palette).
It was hard to choose between this two Mascaras but I finally came to a decision and went for Dior's Black Out Mascara.
This Mascara is perfect. It makes your lashes look so long and pretty and definitely worth the money in my opinion.
Look how beautiful this blush is? I'm going to be using Nars blush in Deep Throat. This colour is a gorgeous pink with a golden peachy shimmer to it. This photo doesn't exactly show the true colour of this blush but as I said it is a golden peachy shimmer to it. I apply that with the Real Techniques Multi task brush
Lippy time♡ Recently I got given 4 of the gorgeous Stila lip glazes and I'm completely obsessed! Firstly I apply my Rouge Coco shine lipstick in Saga which is a beautiful deep barbie pink colour. To make my lips look a bit more glossy I'm applying one of my Stila Lip Glazes in Splendor. 
Here is a little picture of me with the finished result of this makeup look. It's really natural and I love it♡

I hope you enjoyed this nautral makeup look blogpost.

My Everyday makeup routine♡


Hello lovelies and welcome back to my blog! I asked on Instagram what you want to see next and a lot of you said Everyday makeup routine so that's what I'm doing today

Firstly I start off with a clean face and apply my favourite moisturiser which is Origins Ginzing energy-boosting moisturiser.
1. After moisturising I apply my favourite foundation at the moment which is Vitalumière Aqua by Chanel. I blend my foundation with the Real Techniques Expert face brush which gives a flawless finish to your skin. I tend to alternate between the buffing brush from the Core collection and the Expert face brush.
2 I then conceal my under eye circles,any pimples or any discolouration on my face. The concealer that I am currently using is Maybelline the eraser eye concealer and corrector which is my second favourite drugstore concealer after Collection lasting perfection. I blend that all together with the real techniques deluxe crease brush from the starter set. This concealer gives an amazing coverage and instantly conceals my dark circles. 
3. I then powder with Hello Flawless powder by Benefit in the shade Champagne. This morning when I was applying my powder it fell on the floor and smashed:( but I do highly reccomend this powder it makes your skin lovely and matte but not too matte so it looks cakey. I apply that with a real techniques powder brush which is one of my favourite brushes for applying powder. I now need to buy myself a new powder!
4. Next for blush! I am a massive blush fan and I own far too many! I alternate between the Rockateur blush by Benefit and M.A.C pro long wear blush in Rosy Outlook. The Rockateur gives a lovely bronzey pinky colour to your cheeks and has a suttle shimmer to it which I love. M.A.C pro long wear blush is a pinky peachy colour and is matte not shimmery. Also M.A.C blushes are super pigmented! I always apply blush with a Real Techniques Blush Brush.
5. My favourite part of my makeup routine is eyes and I use my favourite palette which is the Naked 3 by UrbanDecay. All of the colours in this palette are so beautiful!
The colours I use everyday are:
•Buzz (2nd one on the left) which is a lovely pink shimmery colour as a shadow for all over the eye. 
•Nooner (2nd one from the right) this is a matte brown colour which I apply to the crease to give a suttle smokey effect.
•Lastly I apply Strange (1st one on the left) which is a matte white for a inner corner highlight to brighten my eyes up a little! I also apply that to the brow bone with a Real Techniques Base shadow brush.
6. Then for Mascara! I am obsessed with The Falsies mascara by Maybelline. It gives a gorgeous false lash effect to your lashes. I don't apply too much of this everyday because I don't want to look like I have falsies on but I highly reccomend this mascara it's amazing!
7. I have been loving this lip combo recently which is M.A.C Ruby Woo and M.A.C Please me it makes the most gorgeous Berry shade. I have just been wearing Ruby Woo most of the time but I decided to make it look more natural looking with Please me.
8. Last but not least I finish off with the UrbanDecay setting spray which is a life saver! I tend to have oily skin and this helps to control the oilyness throughout the day.

I hope you enjoyed my Everyday Makeup routine! I will later on post a picture of me so you can see what this all looks like.
Lots of love
