PURPLE & GOLD SMOKEY EYE || URBAN DECAY NAKED PALETTE || HOODED EYES

Hi everyone, 

Today's look is using the Urban Decay Naked Palette to create a gold and purple toned smokey eye, something a little different and more daytime appropriate/wearable than your usual darker colours. I know so many people have this palette so I'll probably create a few more looks using it. 

If you'd like to see any other looks using this palette or the second more cooler toned urban decay palette let me know in the comments below! :)

LOOK FANTASTIC JANUARY BEAUTY BOX




Last month I made an impulse beauty box buy from the Look Fantastic website while ordering my favourite EX1 foundation. I've heard loads about these type of monthly subscription boxes where you can sign up for the monthly subscription and receive a box full of surprise beauty goodies. The Look Fantastic one caught my eye as there's no contract to buy 6-12 months worth of boxes, you just sign up and pay each month, which I loved as I never really wanted to commit to some of the other boxes that make you pay that much upfront (especially as a poor student!)

Although I wish there had been more make up items in the box, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I got for £15, with the contents of the box worth £45! Plus there is a guaranteed 6 items per box and free worldwide shipping so everyone can get their hands on this.




January's Beauty Box contained:

  • Nuxe Creme Fraiche de Beaute Mask 50ml - £19.50
  • Molton Brown Templetree  Body Wash 100ml - 300ml £18.00 (full size)
  • Goldwell Dualsenses Color Extra Rich 60 Second Treatment 50ml - 200ml £11 (full size)
  • Philip Kingsley Daily Damage Defence 60ml - 250ml £22.00 (full size)
  • MyVitamins Energy (20) Tablets - 20 Tablets £4.49
  • Gatineau Strategie Jeunesse Eye Pads, 1 satchet of 2 pads - 6 pack £34.50


 After getting the box about a week ago, i've so far tried the body wash, Nuxe Beaute Mask (which I couldn't believe was £19.50 alone!), and the Goldwell conditioner. I was really impressed with the body wash and the Nuxe moisturiser which left my skin feeling so so soft!

I really enjoyed opening up this little box of treats during the January gloom and think I might order the next February one as it's such a nifty idea getting to try products you maybe haven't heard of, were a bit pricey or you just never thought to try!









There's still a few boxes left if you want to try out any of these products, I'd highly recommend it!
