Fashion.

Fashion, isn't just fashion.
it tells a story it paints a picture.
Its the piece of the puzzle, 
The smile on a face,
that one look and then your filled with joy.
It makes us stand out.
It makes us complete.

It makes us emotional some sad, some happy.
If there wasn't fashion, the world would be plain, 
no individuals, just all the same.

A world without fashion i couldn't imagine
as a world without fashion is a world without (Insert here)

Urban Decay NYC Palette review

For quick review scroll down! + Swatches

So after buying the naked palette and loving it(see my Urban decay naked palette review post) i went out the following week and brought this urban decay NYC book of shadows volume III . This palette is packed with super hot eyeshadows, 16 in total(Bordello, Suspect, Money, Radium, Haight, Snatch, Psychadelic sister, Maui Wowie, Rockstar, Midnight cowboy Rides again, Uzi, Perversion, Last call ,kush ,Smog, loaded).
           The beautifully NYC themed book of shadow includes a ribbon drawer that you pull out to reveal 16 eyeshadows, 2 travel sized 24/7 glide on eye pencils in zero and ransom and an small eyeshadow primer potion. Being a new lover of urban decay eyeshadows, I thought that this palette was too daring for me, but when I brought it home I felt comfortable with the shades, as you can easily tone down the intensity of the colours.
I do warn anyone who isn't really into shimmery and/or glittery eyeshadows, that this palette is basically a glitter explosion. I think pervision is the only matt shade in there ,and so is best avoided if you prefer matt shades. The top half of the box also opens up to reveal a pop up display in front of the mirror which actually lights up with little LEDs lights to create the NYC scene.
Here are some pictures of the palette enjoy!

QUICK REVIEW
I recommend this palette if your love bright vibrant colours, its a good selection of eyeshadows with amazing quality.

Good points: 16 eyeshadows, 2 pencils and potion, thats A lot of products in one, so the price is great.
Bad Points: The colours like Radium, Kush and Psychedelic sister are very bright and eye popping, so it will take a lot of thinking as to how,when and where to wear them.


F.I.P points: 6/10


Urban Decay NYC Book of Shadows Vol. III cost £30.

Urban Decays naked palette review





NEWSFLASH: NAKED CAUGHT NAKED 

Sultry eyes with the naked palette 



Ok, this is the one palette everyone should have it is (capital letters) AMAZING!
its by urban decay and its the naked palette. i think this palette is just the most perfect collection of 12 neutrals in one amazing palette. It also comes with a double ended 24/7 glide-on eye pencil in zero and whiskey (brown and black) and a 3.7ml of there fantastic eyeshadow primer potion.the colours are not your usual boring neutral shades thats for sure, each shade is just the perfect tone and captivating in its own way.  i just saw this on the urban decay counter and i fell in love. when i got home and tried it out i became madly in love. it is just perfect! i can create all the smokey looks and seductive eyes i can dream of, and if im just feeling simple , i can create the prettiest eyes easily. This is my 1st ever time buying an urban decay palette. i have heard about how good the eyeshadows are, but never really thought of buying them. That was a big mistake as, urban decay has now become my favorite brand for eyeshadows. 


Here are some pictures of the palette brand new before i completely used and abused it. 

 Inside the palette!

There is also a handy mirror on the inside, so its great to have in your bag especially if you want to change your eye look from, day to night, and do not want to take your whole make up supply with you.

Here are those fantastic shades, UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL!

 -virgin,sin,naked,sidecar,buck and half baked.

















smog,dark horse,toasted,hustle,creep and gunmetal-

F.I.P: 10/10

I think by now you have fallen in love right? yeah, i thought so.
Urban Decay naked eye palette costs £27.00 
Pretty good for what you get!
