June favourties!

Hola chicas :) 

Today I'm sharing with you my favourites from the last month. I don't have that many because I didn't actually try many new products!

Ill start with my perfume favourite. It's the Marc Jacobs Daisy eau so fresh sunshine First of all it's in an absolutely beautiful bottle as are all the Marc Jacobs perfumes and smells so lovely. The Marc Jacobs website describes it as "A playful floral fruity, Daisy Eau So Fresh Sunshine reinterprets the classic Daisy Eau So Fresh with a bolder, fruitier twist. Colorful and energetic, the fragrance radiates sun-drenched juiciness with an addictive fruity top. The heart is an intoxicating breeze of airy, uplifting jasmine petals that dries down to a smooth, velvety base of warmth and subtle sweetness. 

Top Notes: Strawberry, Apple Blossom, Pink Grapefruit 
Mid Notes: Jasmine Petals, Day Lily, Rose 
Base Notes: Violet Leaf, White Oak Moss, Amber Wood"

 Next I have my Laura mercier foundation which I love! I'm in the shade rose ivory. This foundation is high coverage without looking Cakey and it's also really long lasting. Although its pricey a little bit really goes a long way which has to be taken into consideration as well

For blusher I have been loving this nyx blush in the shade peach. The nyx blushes are beautiful. So pigmented and they are so cheap and cheerful. This just gives a gorgeous colour on my cheeks that blends so easily!

I have two concealers but they are the same in different shades. It's the collection lasting perfection concealer in shade 1 fair and 2 light. I use fair under my eyes to brighten everything up and use light to conceal my blemishes. These two work so well together and I highly recommend them!

Vaseline has been my life saver this past month. My lips have been so chapped due to all the extra work I've been doing. Working really dries out my lips because of the hair conditioning in the shop so this has been fantastic. 

 This lipstick is my absolute all time favourite. It's from l'oreal And its the caresse I think in blushing sequin. Unfortunately these aren't out in the uk! I wish the were because I would have every single one! They are just so perfect. Bright but not in your face. Shiny and moisturising also long lasting. Just perfection in a bottle.

Last make up product is this mascara from no7. This is the new say perfect mascara and I absolutely love it. The brush just separates your eyelashes so well and makes them look super long and almost false lash like which I love. I also love that it's waterproof but comes off with just warm water on a cotton pad help on your eye for 30 seconds. It's just great waterproof without the hassle of taking it off. (Review here)

 Last but not lease I have a hair product. This is the Aussie dual personality curl definition and soft feel serum. I put this in my hair after I've let it dry naturally to calm down any frizz and if really works! It's a good price too! Definitely worth checking out!

 What are some f your Favouties from this past month? 

Hope your having a wonderful day and happy Independence Day to all the Americans!

Urban Decay Eye Shadow Collection + Swatches!

Well Hello there!

I Love Urban Decay eye shadow, like a lot. I started buying these palettes about 2 years ago. When you break down the price to each eye shadow buying a palette is a really good deal, but spending £25 or more on eye shadow at once is a lot. I do use them all the time though, pretty much every day I wear makeup. They are extremely good quality and the pigmentation is amazing.

Before we get into the palettes I just want to clarify that I bought most of these myself with my own money that I earned. The ones I didn't buy were given to me as birthday presents.

"Sustainable Shadow Box" - £25

top row-YDK, Flipside, Grifter, Uzi, Twice Baked

bottom row- Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Flash, Oil Slick, Kiddie Pool, Half Baked

As you can see the colours are very pigmented and shimmery. So if you are a matt shadow lover then this palette is probably not for you.

The colours Grifter, Uzi, Midnight Cowboy Rides Again and Oil Slick all have the chunky glitter that urban decay is famous for. I definitely would say they are harder to work with but it's not impossible. You just have to be extra careful because they do cause a lot of fall out.

My favourite colours from of this palette are Flash, Midnight Cowboy Rides Again and Half Baked

"The Fun Palette" - £25 

top row: Woodstock, Baked, Uzi

bottom row: Sin, Flipside, Psychedelic Sister

The pigmentation is just incredible in these eye shadows, in almost every Urban Decay eye shadow for that matter!
This palette is perfect because I love playing around with coloured eye shadow.
The only eye shadow in this palette with the chunky glitter I mentioned before is Uzi.
I love all the colours in this palette but the 2 i wear the most are Sin and Phsychedelic Sister

"The Book of Shadows IV" - £46

2 of my best friends clubbed together and got this palette for me for my 16th Birthday. 

I love it so much so thank you amigas!

1st row- Blue Bus, Gunmetal, Cobra, Baked

2nd row- Bender, Gravity, Lost, Hijack

3rd row- Midnight Cowgirl, Sin, Midnight Rodeo, Crystal

4th row- Bust, Missionary, Skimp, Zephyr

The colour selection is truly fantastic in this palette it also came with a mini mascara and the 24/7 liquid eyeliner which is my favourite liquid eyeliner and mini primer potion.

My favourite colours from these are Midnight Cowgirl, I also love cobra, its got gorgeous flecks of gold in it, Gravity is another lovely purple and Zephyr is just the most beautiful white.

There is one colour in this palette that I am really disappointed with and it is Crystal. It looks like this gorgeous crystal blue but the pigmentation is absolutely terrible! On the swatch I had to  rub my finger in it for ages! I'm mostly disappointed because it's unlike Urban Decay to have a non-pigmented eye shadow.

Apart from that this palette is amazing

"25th Anniversary Palette" £35 (I Think)

1st column: Midnight Rodeo, Midnight 15, Vanilla, Flow, Chase

2nd Column: Tainted, Junkshow, Omen, Evidence, Deep End

3rd Column: Deeper. M.I.A, Ace, Blackout, Half Truth

I adore this palette. It's great if you're going away on holiday or just for a night because the colour selection is great. It has the perfect balance between coloured shadows and neutral.

Only one colour in this palette has that chunky glitter which is Midnight Rodeo

My most used from this are : Flow, Chase, Omen, Deep End, and Half Truth 

I couldn't pick favourites for this, they are all just too amazing!

 "The Naked Palette" £36 

I Paid £27 that was with 10% off (They have put the price of this up since I got it!)

left-right: Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep, Gunmetal

One of the most hyped up products ever but i definitely think it is worth it. I totally love this palette. You can create practically any look with it. The colours are super pigmented even though my camera isn't picking it up as much as I hoped.

My favourites are Sin, naked, bucked, half baked, toasted and hustle. Although I think creep is a great black too. It has fine flecks of glitter through it which makes it so pretty!

" The Naked 2 Palette" - £36

I got this one as a present from another friend for my 17th birthday, Thank You Friend! 

left-right: Foxy, Half baked, Booty Call, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted, Blackout

( you can't actually really see Foxy although it is there but it really is almost the exact colour of my skin)

This is my favourite palette right now and has been since I got it. I just love it to pieces!

I'm not even going to list favourites because I love them all!

The 2 Naked Palettes are my go to for eye shadow, I can't express my love for them to you in words!

So that's all of my urban decay eye shadow, i love them! They are pricey  but i haven't bought any since january 2012 because I am very content with what I have although I'm really eyeing up the Naked Basics palette.. 

I have spent a lot of money on these but I don't even regret it a little because I love them all and wear them all so much so they were definitely worth the money for me. Now I don't tend to buy any eye shadow at all because I have practically all the colours I could ever want.

To conclude this little collection post, I totally recommend all urban decay products, i haven't come across any I don't like (apart from crystal eyeshadow, excuse me while I go cry)

What are your thoughts on Urban Decay? Have you got any of there make up? Anything you recommend?

(All palettes were bought from debenhams)
