Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette Review

Hey guys, hope you had a great Labor Day weekend, I was fortunate enough to have the entire weekend plus yesterday off. I usually will post Monday's and Thursday's but I decided to take the day off completely.☺

So let's talk SMOKY palette.
This is my favorite Urban Decay palette yet. I have to admit I only own one other, the Naked2 (which isn't a favorite at all). This one however is thebomb.com!

I purchased this palette on sephora.com for $54. It includes 12 eye shadows and one dual ended brush. One side of the brush is a blending brush and the other end is a pencil brush.
Fill Weight: Eyeshadows: 12 x 1.3 g POIDS NET/NET WT. 12 x 0.05 oz

Nine of the shades in it are new High, Dirtysweet, Slanted, Dagger, Smolder, Password, Whiskey, Combust and Thirteen, and the other three, while not completely new, will be available again exclusively in the palette Radar, Armor and Black Market.

What you see is what you get: High (champagne shimmer w/micro-glitter), Dirtysweet (medium bronze), Radar (metallic taupe w/iridescent micro-glitter), Armor (metallic silver-taupe w/tonal sparkle), Slanted (light metallic gray), Dagger (medium charcoal w/micro-shimmer), Black Market (jet-black satin), Smolder (deep plum-taupe), Password (cool taupe matte), Whiskey (rich brown matte), Combust (soft pink-taupe) and Thirteen (light beige satin).

My thoughts!
I am obsessed with this palette, it is so beautiful. I can say it has quickly become a favorite in my life. here's the thing, you can create a ton of different looks. I've created full blown dark (traditional smokey eye looks) and lighter more simple eye looks.

Lets rate this palette.
Price: Typical for an Urban Decay and or high end makeup line palette.
Packaging: By far hands down the prettiest of any Naked palette out and Palette I own overall. It has a magnetic closure and it's perfection.
Longevity: These eye shadows last all day. I do use my Urban Decay Primer Potion eye shadow primer underneath them and they last the entire day without budging.
Quality: They are smooth and super easy to blend. Surprisingly they have very little to no fall out at all. This is a top notch palette with excellent quality shadows.
Overall rating: A+ I am sure you all could tell that would be my rating based on how I have been raving about it.

I wanted to share one of my looks (which by the way was my first time using this palette).

Well guys thank you so much for joining me today. I 100% recommend this product to all of you, this is a must have palette in all beauty lovers collection.

Well guys thank you as always for visiting me today. I hope you all have a fantastic week.

Much Love,

Plan with me August 2015 plus free Photography Stickers!

Hey guys I am so excited about this month's plan with me post. I was able to have a planner party with my friends and got to create this lovely layout! This is a personal favorite of mine because it includes one of my all time favorite quotes!

It reads "Life is like a camera you focus on what's important capture the good times develop from the negative and if things don't work out take another shot".

If you have read my "Gal behind the blog" tab you will know that I LOVE pictures and photography in general.  I made these stickers myself, and I have them to share with all of you! 

I will be making a create your own sticker post soon, so stay tuned. I want to disclose that the images are not mine nor do I own the rights to them. I just found the images on Pinterest and created these lovely stickers. 

Above you will see the decorated not yet planned full month spread. I seriously love how it turned out!

And closeup of the right side of the page↑

I loved the pops of pink so I decided to plan using a pink ink pen. 

In case you are curious its just a Paper Mate flair pink pen.

I LOVE the way it looked when it was all said and done. NOW if you pay close attention you will see that on the right hand side I added more of the camera washi tape and a quote. Unfortunately I did not realize that when I started planning the last part of July into the first few days in August that it would bleed through to this page. This was my way of hiding that. I honestly preferred it without that extra stuff BUT I don't mind it either.

 

Here is a closeup of the completed left side↑

And the completed look of the right side↑

I am overall very pleased with the turn out.

Now here are the stickers I promised you! 

Just click on the actual picture below 

and you will be taken to my web document. 

You can print these off yourself and enjoy them!

For those of you that are wondering here is the Pinterest account I found them on  and  it took me to this website. As mentioned above I hold no rights to these images. My document is just some of their pictures along with quotes and a selfie sign that I created myself. Check it out and Have fun and thanks for stopping by.

Much Love,
