Loving the Naked-ness!

Evening Ladies :)

Just a quick post today, as most of you have already read about 1000 posts about this already!!

I was lucky enough to eventually get hold of one the Urban Decay Naked Palettes in December from Beautybay.com, after spotting a tweet saying they were back in stock! I had been stalking the Debenhams and Boots websites religiously by they never seemed to be in stock. I convinced the boy that this could be one of my Christmas presents, and this certainly did not disappoint!

A few pics...

 

It comes with a double ended eyeliner (In the shades Zero and Whiskey), and a mini Primer Potion:

If anyone would like swatches then please let me know!

Personally, this is the best £27 that I (the boy) has ever spent on makeup! Its lasting power is amazing, and bettered by the use of the primer potion. It stays put all day, the pigmentation is fab, and the colour choice allows such an array of looks for both day and night.

Is anyone else in love with the Naked pallette?

* * 17 Glitter Liners * *

Evening ladies! 

Tonight I'm sharing one of my January Sales bargains from Boots, a set of 3 17 Glitter Liners.

These were half price, so £6 down to £3, and what a bargain they were!

I had been eyeing up Collection 2000's Glam Crystals range for a while, but whenever I swatched them in store, I was always a little unsure whether to buy one. Seeing as I could get 3 of these for the price of 1 full size liner, I decided to purchase these little ones!

 

As you can see, the set includes a gold, silver and teal/turquoise liner.

 

Swatchy swatchy...

Without flash (natural light)

 

With flash

Each swatch is of 2 swipes of the little liner brush.

I am pleasantly pleased with this little set. The handy size is convenient for me, as I am a little unsure whether I would use a whole glitter liner before getting bored with it/forgetting about it/it drying up! I also like the selection of colours - classic gold and silver for smokey eyes, and a bright teal for a bit of glitz and glam!

Has anyone else tried these? What are your favourite glitter liners? Are there any that people would recommend?
