I unloaded it to see that he purchased ALMOST THE WHOLE COLLECTION for me. I walked in and IMMEDIATELY spotted the lovely black paper MAC bag sitting on my counter. I put the collection out of my mind and continued the day with errands a cleaning house, when later that night, my ridiculously amazing husband told me he had something for me in my master bathroom. I went to my local MAC store on October 2nd to window shop the collection and by 11:00 am, some of the items had already sold out. When I got the e-mail from MAC Tuesday annoucing the release, I was devastated that I would not be able to get the collection, and that it would be completely sold out by the time I would be able to purchase it. Ever since I heard that it was going to come out, I had a wishlist in mind of what I was going to get. I have been dying in anticipation for this collection. I am definitely going to be looking at the first Naked Basics palette, as well as the rest of the Naked Palettes that Urban Decay offers.ĭo you own any of the Naked palettes? Do you like Urban Decay’s shadow formulas? The price point is just right, and the shadows are high quality. I am an NC42 in MAC, so the colors are a little more muted on me than they would be on someone with fairer skin, but I think these shadows would work with most people, you just might have to use a brightening shadow primer to support the color.Īs I am getting older, I am leaning toward more matte looks, and this palette is a great starting point for a matte collection. The palette size is perfect for those who are inexperienced, because there are only 6 shades, so you won’t get overwhelmed by the choices. Because the shadows are muted, and in the same color family, they are easier to blend and they are great shadows to practice with. When I brought it home, I loved it even more. The shades in this palette are very cool-hued, and very taupe, but oh so appropriate for everyday looks. When I swatched in-store, I loved the pigmentation and the silky smooth texture of Naked2. I am usually one to wear lots of color, whether it be on my eyes, lips, or cheeks, but it is important to also be versed in netural tones as well, for certain events, so I went ahead and purchased this palette for myself. I originally purchased this palette as a gift for one of my besties, the writer of Confessions of a Filipina, and realized that I indeed wanted one for myself. (Insert cute wink and cheek click here.) My latest love has been the Naked 2 Basics palette from Urban Decay. If you have followed me long enough, you will notice that I have all of my love affairs with makeup, and I cheat often. Seriously, I wouldn’t have it any other way.Īs of late, I have been having a love affair with Urban Decay Cosmetics. It’s the first Saturday night of 2015, and here I am in my bathroom (AKA Tiny Beauty Blog Headquarters), eating discounted Christmas candy and swatching shadows. Who will this tinted moisturizer work for? Probably those with normal skin, of course!ĭo you have any recommendations for oil free tinted moisturizers? What type of makeup do you wear in the summer months? I don’t ever take back makeup, but I will be taking back this Nars Tinted Moisturizer because it just didn’t perform the way I need it to. It didn’t look pretty, and it didn’t make me feel like I was wearing less makeup. I dabbed, and an hour later, I had the same problem again! I set with a light dusting of powder, and was on my way to take on the world…īy noon, I was a complete oil slick! I could feel the tinted moisturizer sitting on top of my skin. The coverage was light to light-medium, and it applied slightly sheer which is exactly what you want out of a tinted moisturizer. So this morning before work, (I finally got a job, y’all!) I applied the tinted moisturizer with my brand new Beauty Blender and I kind of liked the result. I tried it on my hand in store, but ultimately ordered online.Ĭuba seemed like a decent match for my NC42 skin, if not just a tad dark, but I figured it would match my upcoming summertime tan. When Sephora was having their VIB Sale, I just HAD to get something, so I purchased Nars Tinted Moisturizer in Cuba. ‘Tis the season of tinted moisturizers, and since I’m a band wagoner, I hopped on the TM Train! Toot toot! I have always been a heavy matte foundation girl because I fear the oil, but I thought what the heck, it’s starting to get hot outside, and who wants to walk around with a blanket of makeup on their face in 80+ weather?
