Urban Decay Naked Cherry Eyeshadow Palette

   The Urban Decay Naked Cherry palette has 12 all-new eyeshadows including light pinks, corals, plums and burgundy colours in a gradient from light to dark. 

   The eyeshadows are encased in a hard plastic burgundy case that has a slight gradient on it. The words Naked and Urban Decay are slightly raised on the front, with the word Cherry in script in the background, with 12 cherries going from light to dark (representing the 12 shades inside the palette). Also included in the palette is a double end eyeshadow brush that has a smudger brush and a blending brush on either side and has the words Naked Cherry on it.

Colours left to right: Hot Spot, Caution, Bang Bang, Feelz, Juicy, Turn On, Ambitious, Bing, Devilish, Young Love, Drunk Dial and Privacy.

Hot Spot (ivory matte)

Caution (soft neutral beige matte)

Bang Bang (shimmering pink with gold shift and iridescent micro-sparkle)

Feelz (soft dusty rose matte)

Juicy (soft warm peach)

Turn On (pale metallic rose shimmer)

Ambitious (metallic rose copper)

Bing (deep mauve matte)

Devilish (reddish plum matte)

Young Love (metallic cranberry)

Drunk Dial (deep metallic burgundy)

Privacy (deep brownish-plum matte)

   As I was using these shadows, I noticed that they are very powdery and I had to tap my brush off a lot to avoid fallout on my face. Every look that I did with this palette tended to turn out the same, so if you don’t like the same look over and over again, you might want to use another palette with it. These eyeshadows are very pigmented though, and do blend out very well.

   Overall this palette isn’t a stand-alone palette for me. While I do like the look it creates, I like to have a little more definition in my looks.

Viva La Juicy Sucre by Juicy Couture

This fragrance from Juicy Couture is a sweet smelling Eau De Parfum

The notes in the fragrance are:
Top: Mandarin, Red Current and Brazilian Gardenia
Middle: Jasmine Flower, Peach Nectar, Orange Flower and Almond Cream
Bottom: Whipped Cream, Cocoa Bean, Sandalwood and Vanilla Extract

   The box of the perfume has gold trim around the edge, and it has white and pink horizontal stripes that reminds me of a candy striper uniform.  The words Viva La Juicy are in big gold bubble letters and the word Sucre in pink hand writing. Like other perfumes in the Viva La Juicy line, it has a crystal on the lid with a bow wrapped around it, and their emblem on the front.

   The bow is made with a pink fishnet fabric that has white polka dots on it. The dots remind me of sprinkles on top of a cupcake. On the top of the bottle is white plastic that is made to look like icing dripping down the bottle. The bottle itself sits in a gold tray that looks like a cupcake wrapper. I really like the way that this whole bottle is created to look like a cupcake.
 
   This perfume smells very sweet and only lasts a few hours on me like most sweet perfumes. That’s okay though because I really like the scent, and the bottle is really cute.

Too Faced The Sweet Smell Of Christmas Liquified Lipstick set

   This holiday set from Too Faced has four new exclusive scented deluxe Melted Matte Liquified Long Wear Lipsticks in it. I love the packing of this set. It is made to look like a fireplace with holiday trimmings, and has four little stockings hanging from it in the colour of the Liquid Lipstick with a picture of the scent on it.

Too Faced Gingerbread Spice Eye Shadow Palette

   This eye shadow palette has 18 multi-finish shadows in it and is made with 100% natural cocoa powder. The design on the box is raised, has white piping loops all along the edge and a little gingerbread man on it. The word gingerbread looks like gingerbread, the word Spice looks like piping, and there is a peppermint candy over the I in spice. The palette itself is in a tin just like the chocolate palettes and has the same raised design on the front as the box does.
