Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette

I managed to get my hands on one of these palettes quite early on! On 12th June, Urban Decay released a limited amount of these palettes for sale via their website. They actually launched in the UK on 27th July and are widely available. I’m not sure how many were released early, but I know I was lucky enough to get one, just a shame it has taken me this long to finally review it!
This is the fifth naked palette Urban Decay has released. They also have a Naked Basics range, but I consider those palettes to be separate from the original line up. I already own Naked 1, 2 and 3. I did have 4 (Smoky), but I gave this to my sister as the shades didn’t really appeal to me, the palette devil in me just had to buy it anyway! The Naked Heat palette is actually the one that appeals to me the most out of the five. I was originally going to wait until the official launch date to buy it because there were some Heat eyeliners and lipsticks that were released too and these were not available for pre-sale. I now have the Alkaline and Torch eyeliner pencils and Fuel lipstick.
The palette comes inside a card carton, which is supposed to represent a matchbox as you have to slide it open to get the palette out and it also reveals a graphic of matchsticks once you remove the palette from the box. The palette packaging is a bit like the Naked 4; it is made of light sleek plastic and has a magnetic opening/closing. Urban Decay says, “The artwork on the case seems as if you’re looking through vertical blinds into a hot, steamy sunset”. It has a magnetic closing and you just lift up the lid to reveal a mirror on one side and the twelve eyeshadow pans on the other.
You get twelve 1.3g of amber-hued neutral warm toned shades of eyeshadows in different finishes that will flatter all skin tones.
OUNCE - ivory shimmer
CHASER - light nude matte
SAUCED - soft terra-cotta matte
LOW BLOW - brown matte
LUMBRE - copper shimmer with gold pearl shift
HE DEVIL - burnt red matte
DIRTY TALK - metallic burnt red
SCORCHED - metallic deep red with gold micro-shimmer
CAYENNE - deep terra-cotta matte
EN FUEGO - burgundy matte
ASHES - deep reddish-brown matte
EMBER - deep metallic copper-burgundy

The palette also comes with a double ended eyeshadow brush.
The shades should be velvety in texture, rich in colour, blend easily and be very long wearing due to the pigment infusion system Urban Decay use for their eyeshadows.

The packaging is absolutely stunning! All of the shades are visually stunning and complement each other very well. The eyeshadows feel like velvet and are extremely rich in pigment. I also find them long wearing and easy to blend, just like my other UD palettes. I think this is my favourite Naked palette overall! I just can’t stop looking at it and the shimmer shades are my favourite. I love the shades Lumbre, Dirty Talk and Scorched. Although it is a summer release and the packaging reflects that, the shades a very fall inspired and Autumn happens to be my favourite season. I’m not sure what else to say about this palette, apart from I am in love with it and I can’t recommend it enough! I also recommend trying out the gorgeous eyeliners and striking lipsticks.

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 ...

Serial Sampler #33

I once sent off for a perfume sample from Lancôme on Facebook and periodically they still send me samples of their new perfume releases. I received this one a while ago (ages after it first launched), but I have only just got around to testing it.   It is Idôle by Lancôme and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   Launched: 2019   Type: Floral Notes Top: Pear and Bergamot. Middle: Turkish Rose, Rose de Mai and Indian Jasmine. Base: White Musk and Vanilla. It is a really light spring time floral scent. It isn’t too mature smelling and it is not overpowering. It reminds me of the Gucci Flora and Hugo Boss Ma Vie perfumes a little. I can really smell the Bergamot, Rose, Jasmine and Musk notes. It is a fresh floral scent and would be good for day time wear. I do really like it, although it isn’t my typical choice of scent. I personally won’t be buying a bottle of it, but I would recommend it and buy it for someone as a gift.   You can purchase the L...
