Look what came in the mail yesterday!

My Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette finally arrived and I love it!

The shades included in the Naked 2 Palette are:

Foxy
Half Baked (permanent and also in original Naked Palette)
Chopper (permanent)
Suspect (repromote)
Verve (repromote)
YDK (permanent)
Blackout (repromote)
Bootycall
Tease
Snakebite
Pistol
Busted

Here are some comparison images of the first Naked Palette and Naked 2 and then I’ll tell you which one I prefer and if I think you need both.

It’s a gorgeous palette isn’t it?

But I know the number one question on your mind is do I need both?

And I have two answers for you, lol.

If you are a low maintenance girl who doesn’t own a lot of makeup then no you don’t “need” both, but if you’re a makeup addict/artist/collector/lover like myself then yes you do.

I think this palette is different enough from the first one that you should own both.

To me the original naked palette is more summery warm shades and this one is more wintery cool shades.

So which one do I prefer?

If you are only going to pick up one naked palette I would say that 2 is my favorite by far.

I just love the shades tease, pistol and verve in the new palette so gorgeous.

Hope you enjoyed this post.

If you own both I’d love to hear which one’s your favorite.

Best,

Here’s a little story I’m sure you’ll all appreciate, lol.

I was so excited about the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette being released today that I was up at 12:00 am….1:00 am….2:00am etc….etc. checking the site to see if it was up for sale yet….nothing.

Then I was up bright and early….6:00 am….7:00….

Nothing then at 1:00 I get the email and I run to the computer which is already logged in and ready to go put it in my cart and I’m checking out.

Well, all of you ladies must have gotten the email too because the site crashed at least 10 times.

But wait I finally hit submit and after waiting for what seemed like forever the site crashes again!!

Did I get it? What’s going on?

I finally got a confirmation email that says I got it!!

I hope that’s true after all the crap I just went through.

I guess we’ll see in a few days.

I’ll be sure to keep you posted.

Anyone else up all night waiting on the launch?

Did you get one?

I’d love to hear your stories.

Please share your thoughts!

I need more palettes like the Kardashians need more clothes so why then am I obsessing over them so much lately?

I currently want the Tarte True Blood Palette, Urban Decay 15 Year Anniversary Palette, Bobbi Brown Bronze Tortoiseshell Palette and the Smashbox Photo Op Eye Palette for Blue Eyes.

Not sure If I’ll end purchasing any of them as I’m not sure which one I want the most.

I think it’s the Tarte one….no Urban Decay….No Tarte….

What are you obsessing over at the moment?

Anyone planning on picking up anything?

Are you someone who has a million beauty products, but always uses the same few over and over and over?

If so you’re just like me.

It seems like I’ve used nothing, but these few products over and over again lately.

1. Prtty Peaushun Body Lotion. This stuff is amazing!
2. Xen Tan Daily Self Tan. Best self tanner I’ve ever used!
3. Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray. Use this and your makeup won’t budge all day!
4. Origins Vitazing Moisturizer. The only “foundation” I’ve been wearing lately.
5. Pro Face No Sweat Perspiration Retardant. Use this under your foundation for those days you’ll be in the sun a lot, but still want to look fresh.
6. Organix Moroccan Argan Oil. This product prevents UV damage to your hair and leaves it soft and smooth.
7. Lorac Double Feature Concealer and Highlighter. Decent product, not sure if I’d repurchase yet though.
8. Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain in Frenzy. I normally don’t like lipstains, but this is great for a day at the beach or at the pool because it stays put.
9. Urban Decay Naked Palette. Love this palette!
10. Mehron Setting Powder. This antiperspirant product is great for keeping the summer greasy look away.
11. Victoria’s Secret Radiant Face Trio in White Hot. Love this highligher. It’s just gorgeous.
12. Not pictured, but a favorite none the less is Benefits Creaseless Shadow in RSVP. Wear this under Urban Decays Sin as a primer and my shadow lasts all day.

And a swatch. Isn’t it gorgeous?

What products are you loving this month?

I love me some highlighters so when I saw the Urban Decay Urbanglow Cream Highlight in Sin at Sephora recently I squealed with excitement and quickly ran to checkout.

Immediately after leaving Sephora I perched myself on a bench and tried it out.

Yes, I am “that” girl.

So what did I think of it?

IT’S FREEEEAKING AMAZING!!!!

Was that in all cap locks?

Sorry, but I had to get the point across somehow.

This product is non-greasy and it gives your skin this amazing dewy, youthful glow.

I would say it’s a similar look to Benefit Highbeam, though I like this one better so far.

I apply it to my cheek and brow bone, cupids bow, etc.

It’s perfect for that candlelit glow.

I’ve only used it a couple of times at this point, but I have to say it may become my favorite highlighter.

Yes, It really is that good!

Have you tried this product?

What were your thoughts?

Retails for $24.00 at Sephora.
