Urban Decay Naked Palette

I FINALLY jumped on the Urban Decay Naked Palette bandwagon after seeing it pop up on all my favourite vloggers "top products of 2011" videos. I thought about getting the Naked 2 Palette but the colours in the original seemed more versatile.





Already I'm in love! The palette has the perfect mix of colours and they're so pigmented. The case is pretty too! I love that it's velvet and I didn't even realise that until it arrived. I'm not a HUGE fan of the eyeshadow brush. I do however love the eye primer that came with it, I tried it out over the weekend and my eyeshadow didn't crease or budge.. which is exactly what you want in an eye primer!

I'll definitely be using the primer and palette to do my makeup for the wedding. I'm thinking.. virgin, sidecar, hustle.. but we shall see.. I'll have to have a play around with the colours. There are so many combinations to try!

I got this cute little skirt for $20 from one of my favourite shops.. Felt. I discovered it about 6 months ago and have been shopping there so much! It's hard finding places to shop in canberra as there are so few stores that everyone ends up wearing the same thing! Felt is a little hidden which I like, so most of the time I can pick up something semi-unique.

Yesterday I curled my hair as a trial for the wedding, it got me all excited for the big day.. even though it's still 3 month's away. I'm pretty happy with how my hair turned out and it was easy to do so I think that's one less thing I have to think about. I still have to work out how I'm going to do my makeup.. I think something natural. I don't think I'll use fake eyelashes or anything too dramatic.. it's only going to be around my family after all.

Click here if you want to see pics of my hair, I'd love to get your thoughts. Oh and i'm planning on wearing some sort of hair accessory in it too.

Price & Size

AU$52 for 5.80g

Pros

♥ Conceals perfectly
♥ Lasts all day
♥ A little goes a long way
♥ Convenient package

Cons

♥ It's expensive

Would I buy it again?

Yep, it's ideal for covering blemishes and doesn't create that caked-on look I hate. The under-eye concealer is good, but for me it's all about the secret camouflage concealer. If you're looking for heavy under-eye coverage this product probably isn't for you, but if you're wanting to cover blemishes, scars etc then look no further, this concealer is perfect for you!

I'm a bumble-bee!

..well I was on NYE anyway :)

A big group of us went to Jindabyne (of all places) for new years and it was so much fun! It was great to do something different. I just couldn't stand the thought of another new years eve spent in a hot, crowded club where some drunk would spill something all over me. It was great to dress up too! Costumes are always fun and I loved the costumes my best friend Emma picked up for us (she's a lady bug). It was a great start to the new year..

..and what a year it will be with our wedding in April (I can't believe I'll be a Mrs soon!) and trip to Bali and Thailand for 6 weeks after that! I can't wait! There's alot of prep work to do beforehand though and I'm not just talking about wedding arrangements, I'm talking about losing some weight, not a huge amount, just enough to feel confident in my wedding dress and bikini!

I made an attempt last year to lose weight by trying to eat healthy and exercise but I kept giving up and after 5 months I'd put ON weight! So now I'm on the dukan diet (which I'm sure you've all heard about as it's the latest fad diet) which basically means no carbs, sugar, alcohol or fruit until you get to your goal weight (did I mention you can only have veggies every second day?) then you can start bringing these foods back into your diet. Well let me tell you.. I've been on this diet for a week and it's SO BORING and I'm craving sugar like a crazy person BUT I have lost 2kgs already so it must be working. Lets just hope I can stick with it!

Anyways I think I've rambled on for far too long! I hope you're all having an amazing day and I'll talk to you soon.
