Bella Berry

As summer is coming to a close, I decided to share with you some fun colors I added to my lipstick collection!

   Honestly, I don't deviate to brighter, ostentatious lipsticks. I either go for nudes (harder to find for my skintone) or a deep, brick but classic red. I used Sweetheart by Revlon, Crush (repurchased) by Revlon, and Berry Smooch by Avon. Berry Smooch and Sweetheart look similar. However, I feel that since Sweetheart is a stain, it's complimentary for the faint of heart. While Berry Smooch is more "in-your-face". 
  Crush by Revlon is lovely as always, but I honestly prefer Sweetheart at the moment, due to the season and sheerness. Crush is more suitable for the colder months, with either a bronze smoky eye or a simple cat eye. Sweetheart compliments my skin, as I have more golden undertones. One problem that I have is that Berry Smooch by Avon dries out my lips and looks patchy after a few hours.

Review - Naked2 (Urban Decay)

    Hello all! Well, I felt that this cosmetic product review is long overdue. Today, I'm going over the coveted Naked palette. In the process of purchasing, I was unsure on whether to get the original Naked (warm neutrals) and Naked2 (cool neutrals). Naked3 is out the question - those shades do not look so universal (unless you count fair skinned to light medium as universal).

    I honestly regret the purchase. I should have chose the original Naked, since there are bronzes, browns, and golds. But I think I'd still regret it. I favor matte shadows, than to shimmer which is what the Naked palettes mostly consists of. I honestly can't use more than 3 or 4 shades because they look so...ashy on my skintone.
    Nonetheless, my favorites are Snakebite, Busted, Blackout, and maybe JUST MAYBE, Half Baked. A perk is that the palette comes with all 4 samples of primer and a dual ended eyeshadow brush. It really isn't what people make it out to be.
