benefit

hello!
       benefit make up never fails to impress me with their makeup, apart from the amazing packaging on every product the quality of every product is always insanely good. 
the benefit hello flawless foundation has been one of my favourite foundations for a while. It blends so nicely and doesn't feel like you're wearing makeup in the slightest. Only negative is that the shade the benefit lady matched me with is a tad too dark. 
Watts up highlighter is also a wee favourite of mine (funny enough) it's like a stick which feels so wrong when you're putting it on your face, it's like putting pritt stick on your face. But apart from that it makes your skin look super healthy and glowing. It comes with a wee sponge on the end to blend it and yeah, I really like it.
Fine one one is like watts up in the pritt stick department. This is a cream blusher in a stick. It has 3 shades in it that blend together and make the most perfect colour. There is a lighter colour which works for highlighting and blush. It blends nicely and makes your skin look good.
Last but in no means least, the porefessional. Probably my favourite thing from benefit. I got this little tube in May and I use it everyday and it's still going strong. It's a creamy primer which fills in your pores and makes your foundation go on so nicely. If you're not too keen on the expensive price tag that comes with this beauty definitely try out the maybelline baby skin primer, its hard to pick which one out of the porefessional and baby skin which I like more.

all things naked

Helllloooo
               so urban decay do the famous 'naked' palettes..loved by everyone. Their eyeshadows have a beautiful creamy texture which applys lovely, last all day and doesn't fade. The palettes are pricey at £36 for the naked 1 and 2 and £20 for the basics. 
all the palettes come is such different packaging. 

Original Naked

The original, I'm not going to lie, the packaging is a bit sloppy. Nevertheless the amazing quality of the eyeshadows makes me forgot about the packaging. The oringial palette is definitely my most used palette. It is so versatile. It has the perfect selection of bronzed neutrals to help create any look. The palette contains 2 mattes (correct me if I'm wrong) and the rest shimmers. That is the only thing the palette lacks is more matte shades. 
two of my favourite shades are half baked and smog, two beautiful colours.


Naked 2

Naked 2 is my most recent naked palette, I've had it about 4 months. This palette is more taupey colours. I find this palette less wearable for my eye colour compared to the original. The packaging of the naked 2 is much more sturdy. It comes in metal packaging. It also clips closed making it more suitable for traveling. 
two of my favorite colours are pistol and YDK. 

Naked basics 

as the name suggests this palette is a lot more basic than the other two. This palette contains 5 mattes and on shimmery white colour which is perfect for highlight. This palette is perfect for travelling. It's super compact and sturdy. This palette is good if you know you wouldn't use all the colours in the naked 1 and 2. It is also a lot cheaper at £20.


            have a good day!!x
