Urban Decay Naked 2

Open Naked 2

Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.3

You couldn't get Naked Enough? So you had to get Naked Twice? LOL So the Naked Palette from Urban Decay is AWESOME! You thought you liked the first Naked Palette you are going to Love the second. I own both and let me tell you some of the differences. In the first brown Naked palette the shades of eyeshadow are softer and have more shimmer in them. . With Naked 2 there are more Matte shades and a Matte black that I love. Both palettes are versatile and useful for various shading and color applications. Keep in mind that both palettes are Neutral but if you had to buy one I would pick the original naked because it features colors that have a more satin shimmer finish. The starting colors of the original palette like virgin and sin have a pearl satin finish that I love. Both Palettes are around 50 dollars which is perfect because all the eye shadows are full sized and multifunctional. So over all impression A grade. It is awesome I just wish more shades had that pearl finish because that type of finish lasts a longer time and it is beautiful. How ever for more oiler lids I think you would like the Naked 2 palette that has a lot of matte shades in it. Comment if you want swatches!

NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder in (SUNNY)

NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny

Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.3

Bronzer swatch is not so great because the bronzer does not come out so pigmented

 So it is summer and most of us want bronzed skin. Well run to the drugstore NYC Sunny Bronzer is Perfect and Cheap. The bronzer runs for about 2-3 dollars at most drugstores. Is it incredibly pigmented... no! is it orange/red based ...no! But it is similar to a terracotta color that is more on the brown side and features no shimmer because it is matte. Because the product is so pressed into the packaging you won't get a lot of pigmentation. But that is ok because you always want to build the color. If you have a heavy hand when applying makeup this bronzer is ok for you. It is also a very cheap alternative for people that usually don't wear bronzer and just want a slightly tanner complexion. Over All rating B- if you compare this bronzer to alot of high end bronzers it is not the best. But for the money it is worth trying out. I don't like the fact that it is so densely packed. But I do like the color range. You can buy it at any drugstore.

Aren't we all looking for a great concealer? That is true! This isn't it. This creases like crazy! The uses of this chubby concealer pencil is to cover blemishes, dark spots, and circles. I use it to cover my under eye area and it does an amazing job. I look so young and my eyes look so bright. But it creases under my eye. Not so bad to the point that I have to check every 5 minutes but I do swipe my ring finger every couple of hours. The formula is creamy and smooth and pretty opaque as you can see from my swatches. I have the color CIA it is one of the lightest colors so its good for highlighting and covering up dark under eye bags. However it is not good for blemishes if you are NC30-35 like me this is way tooo! light for pimples! This product is yellow based so it is great for Asian skin on yellow based skin tones. Over all impression C * I need to buy a sharpener for this thing and It creases but my eyes look really awake. I am very nit picky with make-up and every other product I will review because my readers deserve the best opinion. I am harsh on products because no one deserves to spend their well earned money.

High Beam Benefit

High Beam from Benefit is a cream high lighter that comes in the form of a "nail polish" bottle. So the general idea in highlighting is to at a little glow to your face. This product definitely does that. I only have this highlighter from benefit because the pink silvery hue looks great on my skin tone NC30-35. Pros It is cute packaging, It is not hard to apply. Cons If you don't use a light hand you will look like a disco ball. I love this product I first bought it about 4 years ago and it still works amazingly. It is in a glass bottle that is very heavy duty because this highlighter travels alot with me. Also the product is creamy. Not to liquidy and not too stiff. It is pliable enough to be worked into the skin. So over all B+. Why a B+ after all the great reviews? First of all it cost more than 20 dollars. I will never ever finish this bottle in my life time. The uses for a liquid highlighter are endless. But for what it is work I think I would use a powder or cream highlighter more because liquid highlighters are tricky and can set if you don't work fast enough to BLEND. You can use this product with foundation for over all glow or on certain areas of your fact like the cupids bow ecccttt.....

L'oreal Youth Code Gel Cleanser

Loreal Youth Code Gel Cleanser

L'oreal Youth Code Gel Cleanser is one of the best things to use to take off make-up. I have gone through so many products like heavy duty makeup removers and wipes and my skin always ended up dry. I bought this product at target $7.99 and it is a great drug store purchase. The whole youth code line from L'oreal is supposed to make skin look younger. This however for this cleanser it is not true. The cleanser claims to exfoliate to let radiant skin show through. This cleanser does not exfoliate your skin what so ever. But it does a good job of cleaning. It has a certain scent that bothered me at the beginning of my use but then I got used to the smell. It comes with 8.0 Fl oz and a nice and sanitary pump. I use this with my clarisonic and my neutrogena. This cleanser is also meant to take off make-up and it definitely does that job.  I already purchased a back up of this... it is handy to keep in the shower and takes off my face and eye make-up in one step. I give it an A- because the scent a classic L'oreal scent its not bothersome its just that my face smells really flowery afterwards. It removed water proof mascara!!  P.S. I got no rashes or weird reactions after using and I have this over a month now
