Naked 2

Now I know all the recent hype has been around the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette but i'm rather late to this hype and only just got my hands on the Naked 2. If you haven't heard of any of them, where have you been?!

When comparing the palettes, although Naked and Naked 2 looked pretty similar, Naked 2 just had the slight edge for me. After reading so many rave blog posts on these palettes I just knew I had to get one and boy was it worth it! The palette includes 12 shadows, which can all be mix and matched to create various looks for day and night time. They go on smoothly with no fallout and last really well throughout the day. Since getting the palette it's pretty much all i've been using and previously I must admit I wasn't much of an eyeshadow wearer during the day but this has converted me! 

The Naked 2 palette costs £37 and can be bought from Debenhams here (currently out of stock). I know this may sound a lot but it's definitely worth it.  

I'm still undecided as to whether I should now also get the Naked 3 because it does look lovely but do I need it when i've got this? What do you think?

Wishlist #2

As i've previously mentioned, I've only recently gotten into blogs - reading and writing, but my wish list is already massive! I have already caved and bought some of the items i've been desiring (mainly the cheaper drugstore items) but that list still remains.

So here's a few more of the items i'm currently coveting...

1) Hourglass ambient lighting powder

I've seen so many rave reviews about this powder and it sounds just lovely! Quite a few people say they couldn't buy just one and a couple of people ended up buying all 6! I think i'd go for the shade Diffused, which has a slight yellow tint as this would hopefully help balance out my redness. 

2) Urban Decay Naked palette

This seems to be the best eyeshadow palette you can get, with again several people owning more than one. I think i'd go for either the basics (a bit easier on my student budget) or the Naked2 palette but think I could make good use of any of them! I'm definitely more of a nude colour girl when it comes to eyes so these would be perfect! 

3) Clinique Take the Day Off cleansing balm

This sounds like just a lovely cleanser to use and removes all make-up at the same time. As i've mentioned, i'm trying to improve my skincare routine and I'm hoping this would make a great addition. It's another Caroline Hirons recommendations so it must be good! It also seems to be sold out on quite a few sites so seems to be popular!

What are your current coveted items? Have you tried any of these?
