NAKED 3 PALETTE REVIEW

Hey everyone, i'm finally on holidays, i almost forgot the feeling of having some free time. Of course the first thing i did as soon as i was done with finals was writing a blog post, well celebrating and then writing a blog post.
Today i would like to review for you the very famous Naked 3 by Urban Decay; this palette is the latest one of the line and the most discussed one because of the undertone of the eyeshadows. In fact differently from the 1 and 2, the palette contains mainly rose toned neutrals that unfortunately don't look good on everyone. As the owner of the Naked 1 i was very skeptical about purchasing it, if i had to chose i would have probably bought the Vice 2 instead of this palette but now that i have it, i'm so glad i do. All the eyeshadows are stunning and they look great of my light complexion.
The packaging is almost identical to the Naked 2; the palette comes with a duo-ended brush and four samples of the Urban Decay primer.
The first eyeshadow of the palette is Strange, a stunning matte beige with ,of course, a warm pink undertone, it's perfect for highlighting the inner corner and the brow-bone
Then Dust follows, very similar to Sin from the Naked one but a little bit more dusty and not as pigmented, it's not one of my favorites.
The third one is Burnout, warmer than Dust and definitely more pigmented, it's a pretty pink perfect for all over the lid.
Limit as to be of my most liked ones, it's a matte vintage pink that gives your eyes so much definition.
Buzz is the perfect rose gold, so glamorous and so pigmented, it's very shimmery, i love it.
Trick is the bronzy version of Half-baked, my all time favorite eyeshadow from Naked 1; it's a pretty gold that i use to warm up the makeup, perfect anywhere really.
Nooner is the darker version of Limit, it's matte and more on the coffe and milk color, so so pretty.
Liar is quite difficult to describe, the pigments are very fine so it feels very silky on the lid, it's a shimmery sand color with a strong pink-purply undertone, makes a great base for a neutral smoky eyes.
Factory reminds me a little bit of Toasted from Naked 1, a bronzy- rose gold, perfect for a smoky eyes or just for a wash of color on the lid.
Now, the last three eyeshadows are the least pink toned ones, they are more on the grey side and i really like them; Mugshot it's a grey undertone shimmery tope eyeshadow, Darkside is a slightly satin, almost matte, grey with a brown undertone and finally Blackheart, a dark eggplant eyeshadow with gold glitters, it's incredibly pretty.
Overall the palette has good balance of matte and shimmery eyeshadows, they are all quite pigmented and very easy to apply. If you like rose toned neutrals this is the palette for you, if you don't, i would try with the Naked 1 or 2, depending if you prefer matte or satin eyeshadows.

Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation REVIEW

I am one of those persons who struggle a lot to find the perfect drugstore foundation due to my fair complexion and my sensible skin but when i do, oh it is love!
I tried the Rimmel "Wake me up" foundation because it was really hyped in the beauty community and i was a little unsure at the beginning because of the fine glitters inside, i was afraid of the disco ball effect but this products does wonders! And i never realized it until i saw a picture i was taken few weeks ago, i couldn't believe that was my skin, so luminous and healthy looking; i swear no photoshop was done on it ;) This foundation just reflects the light beautifully an it's very dewy, perfect for my very dry skin. The shade 103 "True ivory" it's a little tiny bit too dark for me but it will be perfect for the summer time. I recommend this products to anyone with normal to dry skin who wants to achieve bright healthy looking skin.

Sono una di quelle persone che ha molte difficoltà nel trovare il fondotinta perfetto specialmente tra quelli a basso costo a causa della mia carnagione chiara e della pelle sensibile ma quando succede, è amore! 
Ho provato il fondotinta di Rimmel "Wake me up" poiché è diventato molto popolare fra le appassionate di beauty su internet ma ero un pochino incerta a causa dei micro glitter presenti all'interno del prodotto, avevo paura del temutissimo effetto palla da discoteca. Non ho realizzato quanto questo fondotinta mi piacesse fino a che non ho visto una foto che mi hanno scattato qualche settimana fa, non potevo credere che quella fosse la mia pella, così luminosa e sana; giuro non l'hanno photoshoppata ;)
Questo fondotinta riflette la luce in maniera magistrale e dona un leggero "effetto bagnato" perfetto per la mia pelle secca. La tonalità 103 "True ivory" è leggermente scura per me ma sarà ideale in estate. Consiglio vivamente questo prodotto a tutti coloro hanno la pelle secca come me e vorrebbero una pelle più luminosa.

YSL Babydoll mascara REVIEW

I have aways been a huge fan of YSL beauty, their packaging is aways amazing and luxurious and the quality of the products is usually very good, the only down side i can think of is the price (30$).
I had the possibility to try the new babydoll mascara, you might already be familiar with the name since they shot a huge stunning advertising campaign with Cara Delle Vigne that is all over the internet.
The babydoll mascara has a new brush and a new clump-free formula, the wand reminds me of the skinnier version of my favorite mascara "The Rocket by Maybelline". It comes in several different colors but i only tried the blue and the black one. One last thing, this mascara has an incredible smell! It's so unusual, i even smelled other mascaras after using it to see if they smelled the same and they didn't.
I would recommend this mascara if you want to splurge in something luxurious and iconic even if there are cheaper mascaras on the market that are just as good.

Sono sempre stata una fan della sezione beauty di YSL, il packaging è sempre incredibile e trasmette una sensazione di lusso ed eleganza, anche la qualità dei prodotti è generalmente ottima, l'unico appunto negativo è ovviamente il prezzo (30$).
Ho avuto la possibilità di provare il nuovo mascara baby-doll, il nome protrebbe già risultarvi familiare in quanto hanno realizzato una splendida campagna pubblicitaria con Cara Delle Vigne che è ormai ovunque su internet. 
Il nuovo mascara baby-doll ha un applicatore diverso dal classico mascara YSL che mi ricorda molto una versione più sottile del pennellino del "The Rocket di Maybelline", oltretutto hanno migliorato la formula per impedire la formazione di grumi. 
Yves Saint Laurent ha prodotto il babydoll in diversi colori di cui io ho provato il blu e il nero.
Ultima cosa, questo mascara ha un profumo incredibile, è stranissimo perchè non avrei mai pensato che un mascara potesse avere un buon odore, ho perfino annusato altri mascara per vedere se anche fosse una cosa comune a tutti e ovviamente non lo era. 
Consiglio questo mascara se volete coccolarvi con qualcosa di lussuoso e iconico anche se, per onestà intellettuale devo ammettere, esistono diversi mascara più economici sul mercato che sono altrettanto validi.
