NAKED BASICS 2 TUTORIAL | EVERYDAY EYE LOOK

April 23, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Thank you, as always, for being here! I hope your week is off to a great start : )

 

 

I love the Naked Basics 2 Palette because it is so easy to grab whenever I want a cool-toned look. This palette is great because it is small enough to slip into your makeup bag, easy to travel with, and though it is small it is mighty! The Naked Basics 2 has velvety, pigmented shadows that offer shades that can give me the most basic “no makeup makeup” look or a smokey, sexy eye.

AFFORDABLE STOCKING STUFFER GIFTS FOR HER | $30 & UNDER

November 22, 2017 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you are ready to spend tomorrow with your loved ones this weekend! After Thursday, we will all be in full-on shopping mode before the holidays, and so today I wanted to share affordable stocking stuffer ideas for yourself or any lady on your list. I, of course, picked beauty items but also included some other things that I think will be fantastic in a stocking. I think stockings are such a fun thing to shop for, because who doesn’t love opening up little goodies hand selected just for you? I think everyone should get a stocking, or two, each year! I also love these ideas because you can purchase them all in your pajamas from your laptop.

 

 

 

Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Liquified Lip Set

 

I love Bit Beauty lipsticks, and this set of four of their liquid lipsticks is so tiny it can rest in the palm of your hand, and is oh-so adorable! These liquid lipsticks are a satin finish that gives the lips a pretty fullness. These do not dry down completely. This is a fantastic way to try out the formula and several shades.

 

Naked Basics Palette

The Naked Basics and Naked Basics 2 are both palettes that I reach for a lot and think are perfect are a very giftable makeup item because these neutral matte shades flatter any age and most skin tones.

 

e.l.f. Small Stipple Brush

This brush is a MUST-HAVE for me! This is perfect for liquid or cream bronzer, highlighters, or blushes. I like this inexpensive brush more than higher end stipple brushes for cream face products because it is the perfect size and doesn’t shed.

 

Roller Ball Fragrance

I love having roller ball perfumes for tossing into my handbag and for traveling.

 

Hask Monoi Oil Nourishing Deep Conditioner Packs

Haircare is so important but splurging on deep conditioners is something that people skip because it isn’t a “need”, so getting a high-quality deep conditioner is a great idea for a stocking stuffer that any woman would love.

 

Glass Nail File

After using a glass nail file I will NEVER go back to a regular nail file! Glass nail files are wonderful because the grit is perfect for getting super smooth nails, and you can use them in a back and forth motion for faster nail care. I also love that these are sanitary, easy to clean, and I have used the same one for years without needing to replace it.

 

Pop Socket

This is such a handy thing to have, and it makes it so much easier to film with your phone, take selfies, and watch videos without having to awkwardly prop up your phone.

Tempered Glass Screen Protector

I swear by these! I have cracked these because of dropping my phone (don’t tell my husband, but I drop my phone a lot…) but have  avoided cracking the phone glass because I use these.

Tech Gloves

Have you ever been standing outside and wanted to check your email or wanted to snap a picture but had to pull off your glove? Me too, and these gloves make it so much easier because you can keep you glove on. No gloves will be as easy as using your phone or device without gloves, but these make it possible to do a few things on your touch-screen without having your hand bare in the elements.

 

Viva Sol Mini Bean Bag Game

I can’t resist a great novelty item at Christmas time, and I just picture this being great for laughs with family and friends at Christmastime.

 

Christmas Novelty Socks

I think Christmas socks are a fun thing to tuck inside stockings, and something that even the most straight-laced gal can enjoy at least at home on Christmas morning. I LOVE fun socks!

 

Fine Chocolates

I love good chocolate, and a stocking isn’t complete without a treat! I don’t think I would share these chocolate covered oreos 😉

Gourmet Gummies

I got the idea to include gourmet or “adult gummies” if you will from the YouTube channel Pretty Neat Living and I think it is genius! Champagne flavored candy? Sign me up!

 

Do you get a stocking every year? Have you put together stockings for your loved ones? Stockings shouldn’t be just for little ones, I think everyone deserves a little Christmas wonder!

Thank you, as always, for reading! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a successful start to your holiday shopping! xx

Naked Basics 2 Overview with Swatches and Comparison to Naked Basics

September 8, 2014 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I got my hands on the Naked Basics 2 from Urban Decay and have been using it almost daily since, so now I feel ready to give my review and overview! This palette launched on August 19th and is avaliable at both Ulta and Sephora. I also want to share swatches of both the Naked Basics 2 and the Original Naked Basics. The Naked Basics 2 is a cool toned answer to the more warm toned Naked Basics. Both of these palettes cost $29.00 and have 6 full size highly pigmented, mostly matte, neutral eyeshadows.

I think that both of the Basics palettes are a great choice for those who don’t want to play around as much with their eye makeup and just want more basic eye shadows.They are also mostly matte, with the exception of the highlight shades, so they don’t bring attention to aging eyelids.  The Naked 1, Naked 2, and Naked 3 are beautiful palettes as well but offer lots more choices that not everyone wants or needs.

*Don’t mind the broken eyeshadow!! It broke shortly after buying it because I got a faulty box but never got around to exchanging it. I love this palette and it gets used A LOT!*

Overall I am really enjoying the Naked Basics 2. I tend to gravitate to warmer eye shadows, so it is quite a change for me but I’m really enjoying it!! I love the fact that you can get a smokey eye or a very natural eye easily with this. I think I am going to have fun bringing in some of my other eye shadows with this palette as well, but you definitely can get a complete eye look using just the shadows provided with Naked Basics 2. I love that these Basic palettes are tiny, perfect for travel, and highly pigmented!! I don’t think you *must* have both, but if you want to try out cooler toned eye shadows, this is a great way to start with some beautiful neutrals. I still am the most comfortable with warmer eye shadow colors because that is what I use the most often, so I think I would still grab the Naked over the Naked 2 for a trip away, but I am excited to keep playing with the cooler tones of the Naked 2!

Have you tried the Naked Basics or the Naked 2? Thoughts?? I would LOVE to hear from you!! I know some people have had enough with the Naked line in general but I am a neutral eye shadow lover, so for me I love trying out all of the neutral palettes!! I still need to get my hands on the Lorac Pro 2!! EEEEEEEK!

Have a wonderful week!! Thank you for reading and don’t forget to subscribe : )
