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!!

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...

TAG - The Good, The Bad, The British

Photo: EnchantedIvyGifts.co.uk I was browsing my subscription videos on YouTube and I saw that EssieButton uploaded a new TAG video called The British Tag, and after watching it I decided I wanted to do the TAG too. I believe this TAG was created by BeautyCrush , so all credit is awarded to her. 1. How many cups of tea do you have a day & how do you take it? I drink around three cups of tea a day and I take mine with one small sugar and a bit of semi-skimmed milk. Tea is also the only hot drink I like. 2. What is your favourite part of a Sunday roast? My favourite part of a roast is the vegetables. I love kale & leak and broccoli! My Mum’s gravy is also to die for. 3. What is your favourite dunking biscuit? I don’t dunk biscuits anymore, but when I was younger I loved dunking Bourbons. If I was to dunk a biscuit now, I would probably choose either a Rich Tea or plain Digestive. 4. What is your quintessential British pastime? I love visiting ruins/m...
