Hello everyone, Linda here. Welcome to my little blog of reviews and tutorials.

I stumbled upon 'ulzzangs, feizls and gyarus' about 3/4 years ago whilst I was on google and Instagram, I was fascinated by their style of clothes and makeup and started to research upon their unique makeup styles and it wasn't long before I started to experiment with their makeup e.t.c leading me to make this blog.

I'll be posting reviews on products, tips and tutorials

`Urban Decay Naked Palette 3 review and swatches

For Christmas I received the infamous Naked 3 palette by Urban Decay from my boyfriend after choosing with naked palette I'd rather have first (it was mainly between 1 and 3)

It came to me wrapped in a hardy board board box sealed tightly in 2 layers of glad wrap.

Around the outside of the box of the palatte there was lovely purple tissue paper and then finally the box.

At first I was a little anxious about its authenticity as there are many fake naked palettes around on eBay e.t.c and they looked really similar from each other

After a hard scan I was sure it was legit ☺️~ Phew ~

I was also anxious about how well the colour would show up on my skin tone as I get tanned in summer and the colours might just blend into my skin tone😨

The Naked 3 Palette comes with the palette itself with a crease and shadow eyeshadow brush inside and a mini booklet of 4 different Urban Decay eye primer potion samples

( Original, Eden, sin and anti-aging)

The booklet

Original and Eden:

Original; undercover primer potion that keeps colour in place

Eden; A nude matte formula that preps the kids and prevents eyeshadow meltdown

Sin and anti-aging

Sin; A shimmering formula that prevents fading and creasing

Anti-aging; makes eyeshadow last and in an 8 week study, 100% of participants had a measurable improvement in the appearance of find lines and wrinkles as well as brighter skin, radience and clarity.

Back of the booklet, the left side of the photo is eyeshadow without any primer while the right is with primer

What the samples of original and Eden look like.

Sin and anti-aging

The palatte also comes with an eyeshadow brush for crease and shadow.

It's a dual ended brush. The quality is ok. But compared to my bubbi dual ended eyeshadow brush, my bubbi brushe wins.

Comparasion of swatches with my bubbi brush on the left and the urban decay brush on the right with the shade Buzz

As you can see, my bubbi brushes picks up more colour and the micro sparkles as well, and the urban decay brush doesn't give off as much colour and also doesn't pick up the micro sparkles.

The naked palette itself is really lovely and reminds me of a chocolate bar 😀 i love the packaging because it's made out of metal and not plastic which seems sturdier and less likely to break. It's not bulky either which is great for travelling. There is also a long mirror inside which is super handy and a dip which contains the eyeshadow brush.

The box

Back

The palette contains 12 (1.3grams each shade. 15.6grams for all shades) totally new rose hued neutral eyeshadow shades which are all exclusive to this set ☺️. This palette contains 3 matte shades and 9 shimmery shades in;

❄️Strange (matte shade); a pale neutral pink matte satin

❄️Dust; pale metallic pink shimmer with iridescent micro glitter

❄️Burnout; light pinky peach satin

❄️Limit (matte shade); light dusty rose matte

❄️Buzz; metallic pinky copper shimmer with silver micro glitter

❄️Trick; light metallic pinky copper shimmer with tonal micro sparkle

❄️Nooner (matte shade); medium pinky brown matte

❄️Liar; medium metallic mauve shimmer

❄️Factory; pinky brown satin

❄️Mugshot; metallic taupe shimmer with slight pink shift

❄️Dark side; deep taupe mauve satin

❄️Blackheart; smoky black matte with rosy micro sparkle

With flash on the palette, this is basically what the colours look like under bright natrual light too.

The colours themselves are nicely pigmented, although I expected it to be amazingly pigmented from the reviews I've read and seen about it. I'd say the pigmentation level is slightly lesser or around the same as my maybelline duo marbled eyeshadows.

Some swatches

My arms get pretty tanned in summer and it's probably not the same colour as my face at the moment. The swatches are in order of the palette. With flash on

Without flash in natrual light

My the first three colours are almost blended in >.<

Overall review; While some say that this palette isn't a must and only something that maybe you should have if you're a makeup junkie or collecting, I think this palette is still really nice to have although hard to find and a little pricy to buy.

The shades are all really nicely created and they compliment each other well.

The colour pay off is really nice and strong and blends really easily.

This palette would probably suit people with cooler tones or lighter skin as some shades are pretty light and may not show up as well. Although I do love how this palette has really natrual colours and is great for casual or formal wear.

I'm in love ❤️❤️😍

`D.I.Y makeup boards and brush holders

So recently whislt I was browsing online I found these gorgeous and convenient ways to DIY store and use your makeup and brushes ~~~ I also made a makeup board and a makeup brush divider c:

If you're like me and you think DIY is great but you try follow instructions and it turns out nothing like other people's DIY masterpieces, these are some fool proof ways to create some stunning personalised makeup storage pieces ☺️

Magnetic makeup boards

For the magnetic makeup board you can either use a white board or an old frame as a base for the board.

You'll need;

-an old frame and a magnetic board or a whiteboard

- if you're using the frame and magnetic board base, you'll also need fabric to cover up the magnetic board

- you'll need little magnetic circles to attach it to the backs of your makeup

- hot glue gun or magnetic tape

( what I used)

- A self standing frame ( with glass cover) as I wasn't going to hang up the board

- some fabric for design

-blu tack

How to

1.You'll need to find a magnetic board that's around the same size as your frame. (Or if you're doing the whiteboard option skip to step 4)

2.When you do, wrap your chosen fabric around the magnetic board

3. Stick your board into your frame and close it properly.

4. Using your hot glue gun, stick the little magnets onto the back of your makeup items, some larger ones may require more than one magnet I.e you might want a brush holder on it.

5. Place the items however you want. I.e placing the magnet or blu tac on the lid of your eyeliner pencil instead of the body so when you go to use it, its easy.

6. Secure your board with blu tac or nails

7. Now you're done ☺️☺️☺️

My board: I stuck the items on upside down so the lids wouldn't affect me as I wasn't planning to take the items down to use them from the board and it would also be easier to use. It reminds me of an artists paint palette 😯

The items I put on the board are things that I use a lot/ moderately but I wouldn't need to take off and put into my makeup bag when I go places e.t.c I just think it would be a hassle taking the pieces off then putting things on again (blu tack is hard to remove)

I put my stand on top of a green tea tin to make it taller and easier to acess.

Blu tack is really good to use since it's re-usable

I left my eyeshadows and powders slightly agar so it would be easier to access because when I tried to open it from when it was closed, the whole item came off with it.

If you're planning to hang your board then you'll need one that has a hanger on the back otherwise you'll need a board that has a stand at the back so you can prop it up. You may also want to use blu tack to stabilize the frame and stand.

Some other peoples boards;

Magnetic makeup board;

This board is so modern and simplistic, I like how neat and arranged it is and how it has brush holders

Whiteboard makeup board, it's nice because you can draw on it and put reminders up, or put up an array of makeup up there for makeup of the day or for an event. It's also handy to write down when to write down when you need to wash each makeup brush;

A mini one;

Next: Makeup brush holder ideas

I really wanted to find something that would hold my makeup brushes in place because I didn't really like it just flopping around all over the place and because I wanted to protect the bristles and the handles.

Some unique ideas;

Using an old brush to hold your thinner makeup brushes and pencils

Using coffee beans to hold your brushes in place and also acting as an air refreshment if you like the smell of coffee beans

Using a clear jar and decorating the jar with stickers and filling it with little beads

Using an ice cube tray to hold makeup brushes e.t.c

Using a sushi rolling mat, inserting an elastic band and measuring out how big you want each brush hole to be, to hold your makeup brushes and becoming a makeup brush roll. I love this idea, it's so amazing and cool 🙆😃 but I already have a brush roll and I don't even use it >.<

I used two pieces of plastic rectangles and cut slits on each side to the middle and to piece together this, in this case the sides of my Tony moly Tomatox box;

And then I used it as a divider in the middle of my Tweety pen holder to store my makeup brushes in. I added in fabric around the sides to protect the brush handles e.tc

And that concludes today's D.I.Y lesson and ideas. I hope they inspire you guys to create your own 😊
