Urban Decay Naked2 palette

The Urban Decay Naked palette was sold out for months and quickly became the worlds best selling eye shadow palette of all time. Finally the most antisipated Naked palette 2 is in my hands! I've always wanted to collect each collection because I love every bit of it, from matte to shimmer, from soft to heavy colors, you'll have it all in one amazing palette.

The best thing about this palette is that you can mix and match every color deepending on the look you want to achieve. The first four shades are warm, the next four are neutral and the last four are cooler shades. The palette also comes with a full size shadow brush and a Lip Junkie Lipgloss.

Overall I give this palette two thumbs up! not just because I'm in love with Urban Decay products, but because its shadows are very pigmented and wouldnt really smere or scatter on the crease of the eye plus you have so much colors to choose from. If you already have the previous palette, get this one if you like cooler shades. :)

M.A.C. Viva Glam Nicki!

 MAC Viva Glam is back this 2012 with a Viva Glam Nicki Minaj Lipstick and a new Viva Glam Ricky Martin Lip Conditioner. This collection was released last February but unfortunately in the Philippines its always a month or two late. So I suggest you order in advance at MAC cosmetics or ask someone from the US to grab one for you.

 M.A.C. you got my heart beat runnin' away... So here's my Viva Glam Nicki Lipstick and as shown at the picture it looks like a bright yellow toned pink with a hint of coral. its a little tricky to combine. So I suggest keeping the skin and eyes pretty basic, just some subtle liner will do and really let the lips do the talking. 

If you want a subtle looks, applying a thin layer with a hint of gloss will work great. But if you like a bold in your face lip color then applying two layers this make your lips pop with pink delight.  

  Below are the pictures of the lisptick on me...

Overall rating i give it a B+ , i love the sating finish of the lipstick though you need to exfoliate your lips before applying it to prevent it from cracking or look like dried chalk. i love the color its looks shocking at first but when you actually apply it on your lips its so nice and vibrant!

Blush On, Lashes Long, Mascaras Strong!

Glam Rock

 Last month I got a request in my formspring to do a Glam rock look so I thought of doing it. Basically its just a smokey eye look top with a really light pink to nude lipgloss. Below are the things I used for this look ...

 Got my Urban Decay Book Of Shadows Volume 4 so i used some of the greyish shadows together with my NYX palette, Lancome teint foundation, falsies, etc ...

 First and for most prepping on the look. Best make up comes from having the best prep, like moisturizing then following it with a good face primer then top with your favorite foundation.

 First used the grey-ish shade on my lids spreading it to the inner corner of my eyes. then use the darker shadow for the outer corner of the eyes then blend blend blend! It is also nice to put on some shadows on the lower lids to further give shape to the eyes. 

 

 Eyeliner can be used on the lash line or the upper lids and then put on a thick false lashes to complete the look. 

I used my sisters rhinestones and played with it and also used her glitter tatoo to make a STAR figure but unforunately failed to make it look like a star.  :| 

so here it is.
