Revlon Photoready Skinlights

So when Superdrug had their 3 for 2 offer I jumped at the chance to get these little beauties.

These Illuminating liquids are so fab. . .  This one below is 100 Bare Light... I'll show you the tube, a little dot of the liquid on my hand and then that little dot blended in, all in natural light.

This is the second tube I bought, in 400 Bronze Light. . .

And thirdly, 300 Peach Light. . .

You can wear these for a light sheen all over your face, but probably best aimed at people with dry/normal skin. I wear these either mixed with foundation or blended all over the foundation for a subtle glow/dewy finish. Heavy finishing/setting powders for combination/oily skin like mine can hide all the shimmer and leave your face looking like it would normally, so take care to be light handed with that pesky powder!

Don't apply these after you've set your foundation with powder as it will only mess up your beautiful makeup!

Will I repurchase? Without a doubt, these are absolutely fantastic and give me a lovely subtle glow as Autumn arrives. I think I'll be using these for a long time to come, so please Revlon, please don't discontinue these beauties!

FAKE Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette

I have never bought any of the UD's Naked palettes. . .  I know, shame on me. . .  I should, but every time I go to buy one I think "Can I justify spending this amount of money on an eyeshadow palette?" and then I run away and don't bother.

So when I saw a Naked Basics Palette online from aliexpress.com for around £4.40 (instead of it's usual price tag of £18-20) I thought "Oh, alright then, I'll give it a go! If it's crap then it's only £4.40 wasted!". So I bought it. It took 23 days to get to my house from day of purchase, so not too bad, considering it is from China.

So this is what the little palette looks like from the outside...

And this is what it looks like opened. I'd already swatched and used the shadows, so please forgive the fingerprinted shadows haha!

The first 3 shades; Venus (shimmery white), Foxy (matte cream) and W.O.S (abbreviation for Walk Of Shame, which is a matte pale pink-cream)

The last 3 colours; Naked 2 (matte pale brown), Faint (matte mid-dark brown) and Crave (matte black)

Swatched on my hand in daylight. W.O.S & Faint are almost undetectable in this light, which is a shame.

I used the Naked Basics Palette to create this really easy look and it does look really soft and natural.



My Thoughts: 
The shadows smell kind of funny, they remind me of kiddie's makeup, to be honest. They're slightly lacking in pigment except for Venus and Crave, but on a serious note, for £4.40 I was expecting complete rubbish. I know these eyeshadows are not as pigmented as the real deal, but they're a really great dupe for beginners, people on a tight budget and those looking for a bargain. For lovers of the real thing, please don't buy this as you'll only be disappointed.
