SMELL LIKE SNOOKI?


Sooooo... My girl Snooki from Jersey Shore (mtv) has released a perfume and it comes with a book and in some places a bag and a book. I heard it smells really good. Hmmm you say......
(giggles) i'm gonna go to Macy's and get a swatch because i'm interested and i'm a perfume girl. So will be back soon with a solid review. Have you tried it out yet? Let me know what you think. Toodles... xoxo!

NAKED VS NAKED 2 (URBAN DECAY)



OK OK! URBAN DECAY RELEASED NAKED 2, I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S BECAUSE OF THE BEST SELLER NAKED THE ORIGINAL... WELL WHAT'S THE HYPE ABOUT ANOTHER NAKED PALETTE WITH BASICALLY THE SAME COLORS......


I got excited too when I seen this in a haul video from RAEVIEW on youtube. I was like whaaaaaaat?! LOL! So I went on the urban decay website and I said its the same thing as the first one, then I grabbed my orignal palette and compared it and realized there were several new colors.....


NAKED.. I love the velvet packaging and I actually use the karma shadow brush it came with and I really don't use the primer (sin) though because I like the eden better. My favorite colors to use is ALL OF THEM, haha!
I give this palette five stars because for $48.00 I use it like I don't own any other makeup (giggles..) The colors are : virgin, sin, naked, sidecar, buck, half baked, smog, dark horse, toasted, hustle creep and gunmetal.


NAKED 2.. The case has an art-school inspired look with hinged lid almost like a tackle box - taupe metal with embossed chocolate brown artwork.  It comes with a doubled ended Good Karma Shadow/Crease Brush and  a travel-size Lip Junkie Lip gloss in Naked. This palette features five new colors but all different colors: foxy, half baked, booty call, chopper, tease, snakebite, suspect, pistol, verve, ydk, busted and blackout. And this palette goes for $50.00


The verdict: Alright this was a tough one, (Giggles...)
1. The colors are very different but look the same because it's a neutral palette.
2. The case is very cute and snaps shut opposed to it just opening and you risk breaking your shadows easier.
3. I wouldn't mind trying out the lip stick and brush but I can do without it for a lower price.


Overall if you already have the Naked palette you don't have to break your neck to get Naked 2. Especially if you already have  the bh cosmetics neutral  palette and other brands alike. There are some shimmer colors in here though that may not be in the other palettes alike. If your a makeup collector, makeup artist or youtube makeup personality or guru why not because you viewers and clients want different looks and want to know whats out there or may not have the original Naked palette and got Naked 2. Will I purchase, I believe I will but not right now maybe after the new year or valentines day, I already own Naked. But I do love this product!!!


If you are interested you may have to sign up on the email list to be alerted when its back in stock because it goes fast.
GOOD LUCK! www.urbandecay.com

NARS DEAL OF THE YEAR!!! $65

I saw this in a haul video from "Makeup by Leina Baaaby! And my jaw dropped. Because I was gonna buy each of these individually and here it is (4) blushes (1) bronzer and (1) highlight only at Sephora for only $65 for this "Danmari All about cheeks palette". It's been out for a couple weeks now and I decided i'm going buy it this weekend as a Christmas gift to myself. Remember each bronzer or blush costs about $27-$33.00 each. So I would take avantage of this deal as it sells out fast but they restock pretty quickly and it's limited edition. This is a perfect investment to start your NARS collection if you don't own any.



here is some info from the site...


What it does:
The ultimate authority in blush, this limited-edition mirrored holiday NARS compact features the essential blush and bronzer shades, ranging from warm bronze and luminous highlighting hues to shockingly bright pink. Turn a new cheek with this fashion-forward mix created exclusively for Sephora.
