So what do you all think? Yay or Nay....

What have you been doing?... I've been getting Naked!

The Urban Decay Naked Palette has to be THE most coveted makeup product/palette of 2010 and I just got my grubby mitts on one a few weeks ago after waiting for weeks and weeks. And here it is in all its glory...

Just look at it... BEAUTIFUL!

Anyhoos, there are 12 colours in this palette, all neutrals, all soft and buttery and so brilliantly pigmented. And for £32 from Debenhams.com you cant go wrong! That worked out to just £2.66 per shadow! Brilliant value if you ask me!

As with most of the other UD palettes, this comes with the usual mini primer potion and also a double ended pencil in Zero and Whisky. These are brilliantly soft and well pigmented and last about 6 hours on my eyes.
I understand that the US customers are getting a blending brush instead of the double ended pencil due to the demand, but there has been an increase in price because of it.

Final Verdict
Would I buy again... Hell YES!
Value for money... 5/5
Overall Verdict...5/5

Smashbox O-Glow & O-Gloss Kit

I was on a shopping trip the other week and noticed that Debenhams had a Smashbox counter! (When the hell did that happen?) So to say I was excited was an understatement. I had never tried their products but have heard and read such good reviews I just had to try.

The assistant who helped me was so nice! He had me try the Photo Finish Bronzing foundation primer (which I will review another day) and the O-Glow/Gloss set. I was amazed at how brilliant these products are!

First up...O-Glow
Smashbox say...Intuitive cheek colour with Goji berry C Complex. Experience instant chemistry as this silky gel transforms from clear to the shade you blush naturally. O-Glow is packed with goji berry, Vit C, Ginko Biloba and Pomegranate seed oil for anti oxidant protection along with revitalizing marine botanics. Apply to cheeks with fingertips and blend.

I say... I LOVE this product. I am not a big fan of gel blushes, but this is so smooth and simple to use and blends perfectly. On me it goes a bright bubblegum pink shade and just blended on the apples of my cheeks gives them a lovely pink glow.

Now onto the O-Gloss
Smashbox say...Intuitive lipgloss with Goji Berry C Complex. Get a shiny pink pout all your own! This intuitive gloss transforms from clear into your own custom shade of pink. the innovative formula has goji berry c complex, ginko biloba, and pomegranate for antioxidant protection, along with revitalising marine botanics and moisturising avocado oil for luminous shine.

I say... This stuff is AMAZING. Its soft, smooth and moisturising. Not at all sticky and the colour (on me) is a shade or 2 pinker than my own colour. Because its a gloss I find that it doesn't last all that long, but I just reapply, which doesn't bother me in the slightest.

(Please ignore that you can totally see up my nose)

The final Verdict... All in all I love these products. Smashbox is onto a winner here with this one and have become firm faves in my collection.

Will I buy again... YES
Final score...Firm 5/5 from me
