Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics Palette

I have finally given in and decided to get this palette. The first one never really interested me, so it was a surprise that this one did. The palette itself is tiny and made of a frosted nude brown plastic material. The logo and product name is shown on the front and is in a slightly raised font. When you open it up, there is a small mirror one side and the eyeshadows on the other side. The eyeshadows are 1.3g and all shades are taupe hued and complement each other. The idea is that all six shades are matte, but the first (lightest) shade from the Naked Basics was slightly shimmery.

Maria Nila Luminous Colour Hair Masque | 250ml - £18.95 | As you may know, I’m not a hair girl so this product definitely doesn’t interest me at all! It does smell really nice and sounds like it would do a great job for colour treated hair, but I just wouldn’t use it. It’s a little expensive for a hair mask, so I am going to pass it on to someone who w...
