Urban Decay Naked Flushed in Going Native

Hello dears!

I really appreciate products that are multipurpose. They make the makeup application process faster and can make packing during travel lighter. That is why I like bringing this compact when I visit other place...

Urban Decay Naked Flushed

BYS Nude 2 Eyeshadow Palette

Good evening,

I am a big fan of nude palettes and my most favorite from my stash is Urban Decay's Naked Palette. Therefore, the first time I laid eyes on the Nude palette from BYS, I just had to start comparing it. I own a Naked palette and have only seen the Nude palette from BYS, and I have to say they look very much the same. You could fool me into thinking that it actually that they are one and the same. 

However, this product, admittedly, was from the BYS anniversary event and I was given the Nude 2. 

I had originally thought that this was a dupe of Naked 2 but unlike the original Nude palette which was spot on, this wasn't.

It kind of felt like an in between dupe of Naked and Naked 2 only with lighter colors. Plus I can't say I love all the choices they put because there are so much more metallic shades which I am not a big fan of.

On the bright side, the product is pretty decent. I have to say sorry about my camera work because it does not do the product justice. It has a decent color payout and transfers well from brush to skin.

Packaging for me is ok because the covering on the lid holding the mirror always feels a little loose. I have never used the brushes that come with it, mainly because I prefer brushes with longer handles since they give me better control and also because the free brushes tend to fall out whenever I open the palette. I love the mirror though, because of its size and clarity making this palette a nice traveling companion.

It costs around Php 1,199.00 which arguably is quite a good price.

So will I buy this again? Come time my Naked palette has breathed its last, I'd most probably buy the Nude palette as its replacement since I get pretty much the same colors and performance for half the price.

Anyway, hope this helps you wrap your weekend.

Cheers,

LIZ

Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lipgloss in NAKED

 Hey everyone!

Just a quick review and swatch post for today!

 I got this mini Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lipgloss in NAKED when I bought something from GirlTalk.

It was included in a Lot I bought. And I believe this one is included in the NAKED2 set. :)

What the product says (from the website):

Get hooked on shine, without the sticky hangover. Lip Junkie features a soft, luxe texture, stay-put shades and tastes like wedding mints. Addicted yet?

You want a super-shiny gloss, but can't stand the sticky texture, right? Wait till you feel the soft, cushiony texture of this gloss! Lip Junkie stays put longer than other glosses, but never feels gummy or gooey. It comes in a range of pretty amazing shades (if we do say so ourselves), and the color payout is amazing. Take your pick from sheer pretty neutrals, kick-ass brights, or glimmering near-black. And the flavor? Think yummy wedding mints... a sweet mint with a little zing that makes breath feel fresh.

 And more info at the back of the product:

Naked Ingredients:Polybutene, Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum), Silica Silylate, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Benzyl Benzoate, Tribehenin, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Flavor (Aroma), Tocopheryl Acetate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Saccharin, Sorbitan Isostearate,Palmitoyl Oligopeptide

Oh, and Lip Junkie Lipgloss is available in 11 shades.

 

 It's in a tube. I prefer glosses with a doe applicator though. They are just easier to control.

The packaging is gorgeous as ever just like most of UD products. Especially the cap! The details are so pretty!

 The product on my hand

 and on paper. It's very sheer and has tiny glitters.

Here it is applied on my lips. My lips look... well, NAKED. Just gloss with sparkles. This is actually a plumping gloss so you will feel some sting a few seconds after you apply. It is more stingy compared to my other plumping gloss from Fusion Beauty (which are still my favorite lipglosses in my stash).

So if you are a fan of very sheer almost to the extent that you don't look like you're wearing a lippie, then you might like this. I, on the other hand, am not a fan so I barely use this. So it's good that I only have the mini one. :P

Have you tried this yet? What do you think of Urban Decay's Lip Junkie Lipgloss in NAKED?

Are you a fan of Plumping Lipglosses?

Cheers!
