Urban Decay Naked Reloaded Palette Review & Swatches

Hello Lovelies, 

I hope all of you are doing great. Thank you for coming to my blog and reading. Today is the day that I'll be sharing my thoughts with you on the new Urban Decay Naked Reloaded Palette. When the news came for this palette I was not that interested. I have so many Urban Decay palettes that I enjoy a lot. When I saw the swatches on UD's instagram I thought it is so pretty I have to have it. I waited till this palette was available at Sephora and picked it up the day it launched there. This palette is a"remake" for the original naked palette. I never purchased that palette but I have used my moms many times and I love it. 

First of all lets talk about the packaging, it comes in a cloth-like case. This palette is very skinny and super light. When I picked it up I could barely tell if there was anything in the box. It is not like the other UD palettes that come in a hard case. This palette includes 12 shades that are mattes, metallics and iridescent shimmer. This palette includes all the shades you will need to create a every day neutral look. I have been using this palette with and without primer. Mostly my looks have come out great with primer.

As you can see UD kept the first 2 and the last 2 shade pans bigger than the rest. These shades are larger because these are the shades that everyone uses the most. I actually like that concept because it is true, I always hit pan on my regular shades faster. This palette does not come with a brush, which I am okay with. I have so many brushes that I can use with this palette.

One of my favorite shades from this palette is Barely Baked it is a metallic medium gold shade. I love this shade all over the lid with the shade Reputation. I have played with this palette a lot and created some good looks. Over all I would say if you are a makeup lover like me and already own a lot of neutral shades and everyday shades this palette is not for you. But if you are a collector this is a must buy. This palette is not limited edition and is available every where UD is sold. Let me know your thoughts on this palette in the comments below. Thank you so much for reading and have a great day.

Revlon Photoready Candid Foundation Review

Hello Lovelies,

I hope you all are having a great day. I have been doing a lot of eye shadow palette reviews, today I am bringing a different type of post for you. First of all, let me begin with telling you that this year I am on a hunt for my perfect foundation (if there is such a thing) and concealer. I have been trying many different foundations the past two months some I love and some I don't. I am totally new to this foundation world so every foundation is new for me even though it has been on the market for a while. 

When I picked up this foundation the first thing I noticed is that this is a natural finish foundation. I am not a person who wants or wears a heavy full coverage foundation. So this was perfect for me, I picked up the foundation and concealer. I have a concealer review coming later. This foundation comes in 31 different shades, which is great because it was super easy to pick out my shade. This foundation does not include parabens, oils, phthalates, synthetic dyes, and fragrances. I am so glad it is free of these things because they are not great for the skin.

When I first wore this foundation I was amazed at how it made my skin look, it gave my skin such a natural look. I used it without a primer and actually, I really did not need a primer. It made my skin feel moisturized throughout the day. It did not feel sticky and it did not move or crease at all. This foundation did not have full coverage but it sure is buildable. I only apply one layer with my foundation brush and it gives a very natural look.

The packaging of this foundation is super cute, it comes with a pump and the pump dispenses a perfect amount you need. This lightweight foundation is perfect for everyday use. I am super impressed with it and I have been wearing it non-stop. I have gotten so many compliments on my skin because it looks so natural. I love setting it with a spray. You can buy this product at any major drugstore for a great affordable price.

Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on this foundation. Also, let me know what is your favorite foundation in the comments below. I would love to try out your recommendations. Thank you for reading and have a great day.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera Palette Review & Swatches

Hello Lovelies, 

How are you all? Thank you for coming back to my blog and reading. There are so many new makeup products coming out recently that I can't keep up with them. When ABH posted pictures of this new palette that is for the Spring 2019 collection I was in love with it. I knew I had to have this palette even though it looked very colorful. I waited and got this palette from Ulta store, I did not even need to swatch this over there because I knew I will love it. 

First of all, the packaging of this palette is super cute. This palette makes me want to get on a yacht and just enjoy. The white, blue and rose gold packaging is everything. When you open the palette you get fourteen shades that are matte and metallic. The first row includes 1 matte and the rest shimmer. The bottom row is all mattes. I love the layout of this palette because it just inspires you to create so many looks. 

I am not going to be describing each shade because all of you might have seen it so many times. The formula of the metallic shades is super nice. They go on so nice on the lids, with or without fingers. You don't need a sticky base for these, I tried them without primer and they work amazing. There is a little bit of chunk with the metallics but nothing that great. Seychelles is a beautiful aqua-marine metallic shade that goes on so smooth. I love the bright pops of pink in the palette. I was so impressed Bahamas, it is a great shade for your crease (the way I used it) for a colorful look. 

All of the shadows in this palette blend easily and are greatly pigmented. Not one shadow is disappointing. I own a lot of ABH palettes and love them equally. But this palette has a special place in my heart because I have been wearing it a lot and absolutely loving it.

Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on this palette? Are you buying it or skipping it? Thank you so much for reading, I hope all of you have a wonderful day. 

xoxo,
