Naked Palette Urban Decay & Beauty Bay

Antes de ler esse post, saiba que ele é gigante! :)

Eu não ia falar da Naked aqui, pois existem postagens aos montes aí com swatches, onde comprar, valores e tudo mais... E seria só mais um a se juntar a milhares.
Mas enfim... 
Resolvi falar da agradável experiência que tive com a loja britânica Beauty Bay.
Antes de comprar lá, pesquisei bastante e encontrei vários sites daqui que chegam a cobrar o triplo pela paleta. Fiquei muito triste, pois acho de uma exploração absurda.
Geralmente a pessoa que vende aqui, compra lá mesmo na fonte, o que é super barato e ainda tem a questão do frete né?
Quando eu tava desistindo, apareceu uma luz... 
A Cinthia Ferreira do Make Up Atelier (blog maravilhoso!) deu umas dicas de onde comprar a Naked. Ela sempre indica a Beauty Bay por ser uma loja séria, preocupada com o cliente e por vender tudo da Urban Decay!
Fiquei super empolgada! Pensei e resolvi comprar. 
Comprei no dia 07/01 e dia 30/01 ela chegou!
Veio numa sacola preta, numa caixa grande toda de papelão com pedaços grandes de isopor ao invés de plástico bolha. A paleta veio intacta!
Eles tiveram o cuidado de colocar GIFT no envelope, ou seja, sinalizando que era um presente e portanto correr menos risco na alfândega brasileira.
Detalhe: não paguei frete! Quando comprei a loja tava com frete grátis para o mundo todo!

Vamos à Naked?

Ela vem nessa embalagem.

Atrás da embalagem, vem informações das cores.
A embalagem é feita de papelão revestida de veludo marrom.
A paleta acompanha 1 Mini Eyeshadow Primer Potion e um Pincel.

Swatch do primer.
Algumas pessoas acham o Eyeshadow Primer Potion da Urban Decay o melhor primer do mundo, mas eu não achei isso tudo não. Ele fixa por horas sim a sombra, mas nada de muito extraordinário.
Ainda não usei o pincel (que por sinal é bem pesado).


A paleta é linda, gente! Quem gosta de tons neutros vai adorar. São 12 cores, sendo 2 cores matte.
A Naked era originalmente edição limitada. Porém, o sucesso foi tão grande que ela voltou nessa versão com pincel e mini primer. As primeiras vinham com dois lápis de olhos, nas cores marrom e preto.

Clica que aumenta.
As sombras da UD são realmente muito diferenciadas. A pigmentação é diferente: não esfarelam, são muito pigmentadas e tem uma textura meio "cremosinha", sabe? Nem é seca nem é pastosa. É uma textura perfeita!
A duração é outro espetáculo: dura MUITO tempo mesmo! Mesmo sem o Primer Potion...
A embalagem dela é linda e mais resistente que as paletas da Sigma. Fora que é escura e não mostra tanto as manchas das sombras.
Por fora é revestida de um papel aveludado marrom (que pega uma poeira enorme) e grafada o nome NAKED em dourado (com certeza vai desbotar com o tempo). Por dentro o acabamento é muito bem feito com um papelão resistente. Vem com um espelho (que ainda tá com o adesivo) e um "guarda" pincel.
Como a Bare, ela tem fechamento com imã. E atrás, vem um adesivo com a validade, componentes e etc.
Como tudo que compro na internet, tenho sempre aquela impressão de ser grande... Mas a paleta é pequena. Para vocês terem uma ideia, ela é menor que a Bare da Sigma. Mas pra mim isso nem faz tanta diferença assim.

Vamos aos swatches?



VIRGIN: 


Todos os swatches estão assim: Sem primer, com Primer Potion e com o Jumbo Milk da Nyx, nessa ordem.

SIN:


NAKED:




SIDECAR:


BUCK:


HALF BAKED:



SMOG:


DARKHORSE:


TOASTED:



HUSTLE:


CREEP:


GUNMETAL:



Cores lindas não é mesmo?
Viram a diferença com e sem primer? Prefiro usar com o Jumbo.

Algumas considerações:
Antes que alguém pergunte: não, não sou afiliada, nem tenho cupom de afiliação, nem cupom de desconto da loja. A única "promoção" que a loja faz é frete grátis pro mundo todo em um determinado período de tempo.
Paguei £38 ou U$52, o que equivale a mais ou menos R$88.
É necessário ter cartão internacional para realizar suas compras na loja e, lembrando, nada no exterior é parcelado. Vem tudo de uma vez na fatura. Ah, na fatura vem o valor em libras esterlinas (moeda vigente no RU).
Quando acabar, você vai comprar outra? Se ainda estiver à venda, com toda certeza!
Você compraria a Naked2? Ela é igualmente linda, mas não compraria. Muitas cores se repetem... =/


O que acharam, meninas? 


Beijos,

Eu quero: Naked Palette da UD!

Eu não costumo fazer esse tipo de post (na verdade esse é o primeiro), pois acho um tanto 'deprê'... rs! Você desejar tanto uma coisa e não ter. #mimimi
Mas creio que vocês irão concordar comigo, pois esse produto merece ser desejado por todas nós (e o desejo merece ser realizado, claro).
Estou falando da Paleta mais linda de todos os tempos: a Naked da Urban Decay.
Dizem as boas línguas, que não há pigmentação, textura e cores mais incríveis na face da Terra (drama mode on). Claro que isso é um poco de exagero, mas a paleta é realmente linda.
É feita de papelão com cobertura de camurça marrom e nome da paleta em dourado impresso na capa e dentro. É uma paleta MUITO luxuosa e MUITO cara!
Ela está em torno de U$ 50, enquanto no Brasil é vendida por R$ 170 (fora o frete). Muita exploração não?
São 12 cores para criar looks mais neutros e esfumadinhos. Ela ainda vem com o incrível Primer Potion (mini) e um pincel duplo.
Acho difícil não se apaixonar pelas cores e apresentação da paleta.
Não sou de babar por certas coisas (batons da MAC são um exemplo), mas me rendi à Naked. Não, eu AINDA não comprei. haha

Mas quem sabe um dia né? 



Vamos ver a belezura?



É ou não é linda?!

Alguém aqui tem esse lindeza? Se tiver, fala desse amor...

Urban Decay Book of Shadows III


UD BOS III Cover


I bought this palette more than a month ago when Sephora had their friends & family sale and I haaate doing swatches and taking pictures because it's so time consuming, but I finally got around to it! I've always wanted a Book of Shadows, but they usually put so many permanent shadows in them that I already have that it feels like it's not really worth it to me. This one caught my eye because I really wanted Haight, Radium, and Psychedelic Sister because they're super bright and I don't have them. If I bought them individually, they would've cost $51 and the palette is $54 and with the discount it was $44 which is the same price as the UD Naked Palette! I know, I'm such a nerd with all these numbers, but I can't help it!



pop up picture


Personally, I think the packaging is really bulky. It's not bad to have on your shelf or make up table but if you're traveling it's really inconvenient. It won't fit in my Sephora train case so I just kind of have to leave it lying around in my luggage or in my purse if I travel. It takes up a lot of space and personally, I think the pop up thing is kind of unnecessary. I haven't even opened it other than the first time I got it in the mail and to take these pictures! It lights up and it's kind of cute - it's supposed to be a little snapshot of NYC (hence, NYC palette) - but it's unnecessary. The pop up kind of blocks the mirror so I don't even use the mirror.



cracked mirror =(


Traveling with make up is so tricky because you always risk damaging product! I didn't realize until I took these pictures that the mirror was cracked! I'm going to (hopefully) do a post on traveling with make up, so I'll talk more about it then.



the shadows!
Perversion, Uzi, Loaded, Kush
Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Last Call, Rockstar, Money
Haight, Maui Wowie, Smog, Bordello
Radium, Snatch, Suspect, Psychedelic Sister


Uzi, Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Last Call, Haight, Maui Wowie, Smog, Snatch and Psychedelic Sister are all permanent. The rest are all limited edition. It comes with Ransom and Zero (of course) 24/7 liner and a mini UDPP. I have Smog, Uzi, and Midnight Cowboy Rides Again in my other UD palettes and I haaate having duplicates but since I don't have the other colors in the palette, it really makes it worth it for me. My FAVORITE from this palette is Psychedelic Sister! I always get complimented when I wear purples and I love the way this one looks in a purple smokey eye. It's so vibrant and soo... purple! Haight and Radium are really pretty and they caught my eye but I don't use them as much as I thought I would. I love that this palette came with Perversion instead of Zero because I prefer using matte black to smoke out and this can double as a liner too. I haven't played too much with the other colors but I do really like Snatch and Suspect.




shadows with flash



Perversion, Uzi, Loaded, Kush


The swatches of the last two rows aren't too good because Haight and Radium kind of look alike? And the purple in Psychedelic Sister isn't too bright. I think it's the flash! -__- I love wearing white on my lids but I've never been a fan of Uzi because of the chunky glitter! Midnight Cowboy Rides Again has pretty chunky glitter too so those are my least favorites (not to mention they're in every other UD palette!) Kush looks like a grass green to me and Loaded kind of reminds me of MAC's Plumage but I haven't swatched them together. Perversion looks kind of brown in my swatch but it really is matte black!




Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Last Call, Rockstar, Money


Last Call is a kind of mauve-y pink and Rockstar is a dirty plum. Money really looks like the light green color of money which I thought was kind of cool. I haven't played around with these colors too much but I like them. Most of the colors in this palette are shimmery but I like the shimmer wayy better than chunky glitter.




Haight, Maui Wowie, Smog, Bordello


Haight is a greenish turquoise that kind of reminds me of the ocean. Smog is one of my favorites for neutral looks and Maui Wowie is a great lid color. Bordello is a really light pink, I like it as a lid color with purples.




Radium, Snatch, Suspect, Psychedelic Sister


I don't know why Radium reminds me of that song "Radium Eyes" from one of the older Guitar Hero games! But it's an electric blue. Snatch is really pretty by itself on the lid - its a really light peachy orange color - or it does great with browns. Suspect kind of reminds me of Sidecar from the UD Naked Palette, but I think its slightly lighter. And of course Psychedelic Sister is my favorite! I would describe it as grape purple.




MAC Greasepaint Stick in V, Psychedelic Sister, Psychedelic Sister over V


I really love the way Psychedelic Sister looks over MAC's Greasepaint Stick in V (from the DSquared Collection). It makes it 5 times more vibrant! I can't remember if I already did a FOTD with this but it'll probably be my next FOTD.



Ransom 24/7 Liner

My idiot self forgot to take a swatch of this next to Psychedelic Sister and I didn't wanna swatch Zero next to it because I have a few already and I wanted to sell the one that came in this palette instead of letting it sit in my collection. Overall, I think its worth it. It doesn't come with as much repromotes or permanent colors as other Urban Decay palettes do and even though $54 seems a little pricey, like I said earlier 3 individual shadows pretty much almost add up to the price of the palette which has 16 shadows + 2 liners and a mini UDPP.

December 2010 Favorites



I just posted this on YouTube yesterday? I HATE how long YouTube takes to upload because I swear it took me two days to upload it! I have to leave my computer on all day, which kind of sucks! I think it's because I record in 720P HD, but I just hate waiting. I'm always paranoid that I repeated favorites from past months, but these really ARE my favorites because I use them ALL the time, not just the month that I'm talking about them in. This month is mostly MAC because I brought practically ALL my MAC products with me since I wanted to do a collection post. I'll probably take pictures today and upload them who knows when!

+ MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer in NC42 $14 at MAC stores or maccosmetics.com
I've been using this for quite a while. The little tube comes with SO much product! I don't have a lot of blemishes but I always conceal my under eye circles. I usually put MAC Studio Finish concealer first then this over, because the Studio Finish concealer can be kind of cakey, this smooths it out and evens it out with my skin tone. I do use this over my red blemishes and it covers it perfectly. I hate how the doe foot applicator gets kind of dirty after a while, but I don't think you can help that. I don't recommend this if you have oily skin though, because it might make you greasier.

+ MAC Bite of An Apple Blush $18 from the MAC Venomous Villains collection
I'm sorry that I didn't get a back up of this! I've been loving this color A LOT. I started using it after I did a post on it and I just fell in love! I think it's my first matte blush but I really like how it's not shimmery and gives me the perfect cheek glow.

+ MAC 266 Brush $19.50 at MAC stores, or maccosmetics.com
My favorite angled liner brush of all time! I've tried quite a few - Coastal Scents, EcoTools, etc. - and nothing compares to my MAC 266. It's the perfect width and perfect angle - I go crazy when I can't find this brush!

+ MAC Blacktrack Fluidline $15.00 at MAC stores or maccosmetics.com
This little post has lasted me forever AND still hasn't dried out on me. True to its name it is fluid and glides like buttahh on my lids [with a clean 266 brush of course!] It's my go to eyeliner. I've used Stila smudgepots before and those dry up super quick!

+ MAC Bamboo Eyeshadow $14.50 at MAC stores or maccosmetics.com
I love using this as a highlight color because it's SLIGHTLY lighter than my skin tone. It's matte so it's not shimmery at all and it complements neutral looks AND smokey eyes for me perfectly.

+ Urban Decay Psychedelic Sister Eyeshadow $17.00 at Sephora or $54.00 for the UD BOS III at Sephora
I have this in my BOS III - I didn't notice til I was editing my video that my BOS mirror is cracked! AH!! lol I don't even use that mirror, but I'll probably be posting swatches from the palette in my next post. This purple is super vibrant - I always get complimented when I wear this on my lids. I haven't found a purple this pretty in a long time, I think I've already dented this color in the palette from using it so much!

November 2010 Favorites



I put up my favorites video a little late but here it is!

FAVORITES
+ Wet & Wild Brule Eyeshadow $1.99
I've seriously been loving this eyeshadow ever since I got it. Maybe it's because it reminds me of MAC's Brule, kind of, and MAC's Brule was the very first MAC eyeshadow I ever got. The wet and wild shadows are s pigmented and I don't know why I have a thing for highlight colors!

+ MUFE Duo Mat Powder in 209 $32
I really thought this powder might have been over hyped but I'm really glad that I got it. It gives me enough coverage to hide my blemishes WITHOUT concealer and it doesn't feel heavy or look cakey on my face at all. I was just so amazed that no matter how much I put on my face, it didn't look cakey! Plus it's so lightweight, I can't even tell it's there.

+ MAC Cut A Caper Lipstick $14.50
Sometimes pinky nudes look funny on my skin because I'm more tanned, but I really like the way light corals look on me. I just ran out of my Cute-ster lipstick and I was looking for something similar and I think I actually like this more. I think it's a luster finish? Which one of my favorite finishes.

+ Kat Von D Cathedral Lipstick $18
Mine isn't a full size but the sample I got from Sephora, but I'm really loving the formula. It's really creamy AND pigmented! My lips are always super chapped so I need a lipstick that kind of moisturizes and I feel like this does that.

+ Sephora Rounded Crease Brush $17
This is my absolute favorite blending brush that I own! It's just the right amount of stiffness - it's not too soft but not too stiff either. I think it's comparable to the MAC 224 but I don't own that one so I can't really say.

+ Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow [Naked Palette $44]
Again with the highlight colors! This is one my favorites from the Naked palette because it doubles as a highlighter and blending color for me.

+ Urban Decay Sin Eyeshadow [Naked Palette $44]
This color is amaaazing by itself. It really brightens my eyes by itself - sometimes I just use this and highlight and I'm ready!


REJECTS
- EOS Lip Balm ~$3
I did a review on this lip balm - it was a complete miss for me.

- Tokidoki Blending Brush [set is $35]
This came in a set of three and this was my least favorite of them. It's not really good at blending but kind of more for outer v, but then I feel like the brush head is too big for just the outer v. It's cute though! lol

New UDPP Packaging



Sorry for my lack of posts, I've been really busy with the move and what not! I didn't think it would take so long to get everything together but I have so much random crap! =[ Anyway I saw the new Professional Size Urban Decay Primer Potion in a couple emails that I've been getting and can I just say Thank you make up gods! lol, jk. But no really. The genie shaped bottle was not really that functional! The squeeze tube with the pointy tip is SO much better. Less product wasted, and no depotting necessary! It's $29 and up on both the Urban Decay and Sephora website! I have yet to depot my current bottle, but when I run out I'm definitely getting this!

FOTD: Neutrals with UD Naked Palette

So far I'm lovin' the new Urban Decay Naked Palette! It's sold out on the Sephora and Urban Decay website, but I believe it's coming out in Sephora stores this weekend? Rumor is supposedly July 29th, but it is permanent! But I can foresee it being sold out for maybe the next month? Anyway I feel like people don't do enough neutral looks just because they're "plain" and not that much color, but really who can wear color everyday to work/school? I know I can't! Another note, I've been trying out the Benefit Bad Gal Lash mascara I got a couple months ago, and so far it's just OK. I like major drama from my mascara but looking at these pictures I'm like whoa! Anyway here's the look





FACE
+ Clinique Almost Powder Foundation in DEEP HONEY
+ MAC Blush in STRADA [contour]
+ MAC MSF Natural Shimmer in MEDIUM DARK/SHIMMER [highlight]
+ ELF Blush in BLUSHING ROSE

EYES
+ Urban Decay Primer Potion
+ NYX Eyeshadow Base in SKIN TONE
+ MAC Brow Shader in SOFT CHARCOAL [brows]
+ Urban Decay Eyeshadow in SIDECAR [lid]
+ Urban Decay Eyeshadow in TOASTED [crease/blend]
+ Urban Decay Eyeshadow in HUSTLE [outer v]
+ Urban Decay Eyeshadow in VIRGIN [highlight]
+ MAC BLACKTRACK Fluidline
+ Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in ZERO [waterline]
+ Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara

LIPS
+ NYX HERADES Lipstick
+ Bath & Body WOrks Liplicious Lipgloss in FROZEN DAQUIRI

Urban Decay Naked Palette



So I finally got my Urban Decay Naked Palette! I ordered it from Sephora last Friday and I got it in yesterday. I know there's a lot of hype around this palette but I saw it in person at IMATS last month and after finding how much product it comes with it's definitely a steal!



The packaging is so pretty. Definitely a step up from Urban Decay. I have their Sustainable Palette which is supposed to be sustainable but the cover broke on me! This packaging is definitely more luxe its covered in velvet? Or fake velvet? I'm not sure but it's really pretty! My only gripe is that it's velvet so if it gets dirty I can't wash it or anything. The inside is made out of cardboard but it's pretty sturdy and considering that there are 12 eyeshadows, it's pretty compact. I think it would be great for travel!


the palette!

SWATCHES

Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep, Gunmetal


Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked


Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep, Gunmetal

I loove the way it looks! I haven't done any looks with it yet but I can tell it's love at first sight. I love that Urban Decay released new colors with this! I was kind of getting tired of seeing Midnight Cowboy in EVERY palette. I like that except for Creep, they don't have the gritty silver glitter that a lot of the UD shadows have. A lot of the colors are definitely wearable for everyday - seriously not everyone can wear bright eyeshadow to work! Sin, Naked, Half Baked, Smog, Toasted, and Gunmetal are permanent - so half th epalette is permanent and I think the other 6 are brand new shades. I know Half Baked is in a LOT of the palettes but the only other colors besides that tone that I have are Smog and Toasted so I'm really happy that I got it. Each eyeshadow in the palette is 0.05 oz/1.3 g and the full size shadows are 0.05 oz/1.3 g too! So you're getting 12 full size eyeshadows + a double ended 24/7 liners for $44! That's like $3-4 per eyeshadow when a full size by itself cost $17! In my opinion it's definitely worth it but I might be jumping the gun before I even do a FOTD with it! I'll post a FOTD tomorrow!
