Urban Decay Naked Palette: Haul, Review, Photos and Swatches

Hey everyone!


Sorry there's been a lack of posts and videos recently, been really busy, but I only have 4 days left of school before the summer holidays so hopefully I'll be getting lots done then :)


So when I went to see the last Harry Potter film on Friday (which was incredible, by the way!) I swung by my nearest House of Fraser and picked up the Urban Decay Naked Palette which I have wanted since it first came out! I am sooo excited and couldn't wait to review/haul/swatch it for you so I decided to combine everything into this post.


I bought it for £32 which is really good value as that would make each eyeshadow roughly £2.70, and that's a bargain for their amazing quality! The newer edition comes with an eyeshadow brush and mini Primer Potion instead of their duo eyeliner in Zero/Bourbon. I think this is better because it means you can do your eyeshadow on the go.

(L-R)Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep, Gunmetal
Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar
 Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse
 Toasted, Hustle Creep, Gunmetal
 Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar
Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse
Toasted, Hustle, Creep, Gunmetal


Good points:
Nice, sleek packaging - good for travel
Beautiful, versatile, pigmented colours
Brush and Primer Potion included
Great value
Magnetic lid


Bad points:
No slot for Primer Potion in palette
Only 2 matte colours (but I prefer shimmery, so it's a matter of opinion)
Hard to find - out of stock a lot

Nails of the Day - Lilac and Black Crackle

Hey guys!

Sorry for the lack of videos and posting, we've been really busy with exams lately. I bought a couple of 17 polishes the other day and wanted to try them out, I like the way it turned out so I wanted to share it with you :)





The colour from 17 is called 'Sweet Kisses' and the crackle polish is the 'Instant Nail Effects' in black from Barry M.
I used 2 coats of sweet kisses and one thin coat of the crackle with a clear top coat from MUA and it's been wearing really well, I find you get a lot of compliments with crackle polish :)

Along with my order, I got a note from Kendra that said 'Tamsin, thank you for your order, I hope you enjoy your samples. Xox Kendra' and 3 free samples which was really lovely of her. The ones I got free were: Angel Baby, Cherry Kola & Conspiracy Theory

Cherry Kola, Miss Peaches, Sunday School

Good Points:

My favourites:
