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. The first shade from this palette, Skimp, also has a little shimmer to it, but it is not extremely noticeable.
SKIMP - Pale nude satin
STARK - Matte nude pink
FRISK - Warm matte grey
COVER - Muted matte reddish brown
PRIMAL - Muted matte brown
UNDONE - Deep smoky matte brown

This palette doesn’t include any extras like most UD palettes do, but it is supposed to be basic, but beautiful.

I really love this little palette. It has all the shades you need for a simple neutral look, which can be amped up! The shades are so soft, buttery and amazingly pigmented. I would say they are much more pigmented than the matte shades in any other Urban Decay palette. I wonder if this is because it is supposed to be just a mattes palette? I am still glad I didn’t purchase the first one because the shades just didn’t appeal to me, but this one is absolutely perfect!!

O.P.I Breakfast at Tiffany's Mini Mani Month Set

I heard that O.P.I would be releasing a Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection and I was really interesting in trying some shades, so when I was browsing the O.P.I website and came across this set, I snapped it up straight away! The packaging is like a white and lilac fashion book and it has a beauty advent calendar vibe. It is a sort of alternative to a beauty calendar. There are five rows with five shades covering two sides of the book. You can open the windows that cover the shades, but it will reveal all five shades, which is why it doesn’t quite pass as a calendar. Plus, you can’t actually take the bottles out like you would a beauty/chocolate calendar. You have to open the sides of the book and pull out the five separate plastic trays which hold the bottles. There seems to be a lot of wasted packaging this way. You get twenty-five 3.75ml bottles of Nail Lacquer and the set contains new shades from the Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection, and some old favourites already pa...

GUCCI Mini Perfume Gift Set

Today I am going to review a perfume gift set that I bought from Boots.com during their Boxing Day sales 2014. It is the GUCCI Miniatures Gift Set and it was exclusively sold in Boots stores and on Boots.com. I love the concept of mini perfume sets and it’s a shame that not more brands do them! You get to sample more scents from brands, and if there is a certain perfume you are interested in, you would be able to sample it before potentially wasting your money buying a full size bottle of a scent you might not like. In this particular set you get five (5ml) mini fragrances to sample and I actually already bought a full size of the Guilty scent, but waited until I got this set to test it! A big gamble I know, but it did pay off this time! Here are the five miniature bottles of scents included:- FLORA BY GUCCI The bottle is so cute and with a little ribbon bow too. The notes contained in this little bottle are; citrus, peony, mandarin, osmanthus, rose, sandalwood, patchouli and ...
