Urban Decay | Primer Potion & Naked2 Basics

Hi Guys, 

So I have had the Urban decay Primer Potion for a while now, and when I purchased the naked basics pallet a few weeks ago, I figured I should probably do a review on them both, but since they work so perfectly together I thought I'd 'kill 2 birds with 1 stone' (hypothetically) and review them together.  



originally I was never a huge fan of eyelid primers, but since discovering the Urban Decay Primer Potion I have been converted and I'm not sure how my eye shadows would last without this any more. It truly doe work.
It is a skin/nudy colour when it comes out of the bottle, which helps to cover up and dark veins that you can see on your eyelids.
£16




So these two items to hand in hand really, eye-shadow primer and eye shadows. I already have one of the naked pallets, which I did a review on last year. 
I decided to get the Naked2 basic pallets, because they are more compact, which means that they are easier to take out with you 'on the go'. They contain the best colours from the original pallets, which just happen to be the essential colour to do pretty much any eye-shadow look you want. 
£23


Three lighter colours, and 3 slightly darker colours, and they are all matte.
the eye-shadow formula itself is really good because it light but not too light. it wont cake on, as well as the fact that the texture is so velvety.

So if you wanted one of the naked pallets but are done want a big bulky palette or are unsure as to which one to get, then you should try out the naked basic pallet's.

The Body Shop | ALL-IN-ONE

Hi Guys, 

As it is now spring (whether it feels like it or not) I thought I'd inform you guys of some make-up products that may be useful, because personally when it gets to the spring/summer months I don't like wearing to much heavy make-up, especially foundation. Which is why I've been trying out a variety of BB creams, CC creams and lighter bases. 



I've been using this primer for over a year now, and I have to admit this body shop primer is probably one of the best high-street primers I've used... so far. I don't really know how to describe the texture its a sort of thick silicon type of moose. Which is probably why is is so good at keeping shine under control, as well as reducing the look of pores
You could even wear this on its own, as it just makes your skin look that little bit more healthier.



Unlike most BB creams it comes out as a white moisturiser, until you start rubbing into your skin, then it turns into your skin colour, it adapts to your skin tone (which is very cool), it is a very light coverage, and isn't oily at all. It just leaves you with a natural sun kissed glow.
