[Review] Urban Decay Naked2 !

Hi guys! I'm sure many of you have heard or know that Urban Decay has recently released a second version of the naked palette. I myself have just gotten my hands on one. Since I live in Canada, I had to order it on Sephora.com, so for those wanting to get their hands on one check out Sephora.com. As for those who aren't able to order it online, I have heard that it will be available in stores at the end of January beginning of February so lookout for that. Okay, so comparing the naked to the naked2 the colours are pretty much the same or yet even similar. The packaging to the naked2 is like a hard plastic/metal casing that snaps the palette shut. In the naked2 instead of it coming with a mini potion primer, it actually comes with a lip junkie in the colour naked. I preferably do not like the lip junkie at all because it has somewhat of a minty scent to it. It would have been better it they included the mini potion primer. As for the brush that is included, it is a double-ended full size brush that is a shadow and crease brush.







I don't know why but I can't seem to flip this image around sorry guys!
Foxy doesn't quite show up on the camera. Colours are as follow:
Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall, Chopper, Tease, SnakeBite, Suspect,
 Pistol, Verve YDK, Busted, Blackout

My Thoughts:
Now I do own the first naked palette, I actually love the naked2 a bit more than the naked. There are pros and cons of each one. First being that I love the texture of the shadows in the naked2 because it feels very soft and silky not that the naked isn't. Although the naked and naked2 are similar in shades and colours, the naked2 is more naked (neutral) than the first. Overall, if you have already own the first palette and am not sure if you should purchase the naked2, I would say that you could probably skip it because you wont be missing out on thing special. However, if you don't have original palette, I would probably recommend getting the naked2 because I like how the shadows are more neutral than the first. Hope this helps you in making a decision on which palette to get !

New Year & Pond's Makeup Wipes

So it's the New Year and I know I haven't blogged in forever! so for this year I have decided that I will try to blog as much as I can, probably once or twice a week.

Okay, so I have been using these makeup wipes for 5 months now and am in love! Not only is it affordable but it smells fresh ! The wipes does remove most of your makeup but I do have to use a bit of liquid eye makeup remover to clean off all the makeup around the eyes. The makeup wipe contains 30 towelettes with vitamin E, chamomile and green tea. I purchased this at Walmart for $6 and it also comes with a bonus pack as well, so you are getting two for the price of one! With the bonus pack it should last you at least 2 months but it also depends on how often you wear makeup. So this is my review for the makeup wipes ! stay tuned for my next blog-post!
