Kelly's January Favourites 2011:

January is over, so it’s time for favourites. This is a list of products I’ve discovered in January or products I’ve used a lot in January, I also added some non-beauty favourites.

Eyeshadows: Urban Decay Naked Palette

Well what’s there to say about this palette. It’s amazing! You’ve got all the colours you need for a neutral daytime look or a smokey night-time look.

Lipstick: MAC Plumful
Love this colour, a purple-plum with a lustre finish so it’s school and work appropriate.

Lipgloss: MAC Sin-tillation (Cham Pale collection)
The perfect gloss with a lot of shimmer, can be worn on its own or over a lipstick or lipliner to make your look more fabulous. Looks really great in combination with MAC Plumfull lipstick.

Blush: MAC Instant Chic

A perfect coral blush for everyday use.

Eyeliner: MAC Blacktrack Fluidline
I can’t apply liquid eyeliner, but gel liner is a piece of cake for me. Funny thing is most people have it the other way around. I love MAC Blacktrack Fluidline, because it’s ultra black and stays on all day.

Nail Polish: OPI Diva of Geneva

This month was a purple month I guess, my favourite lipstick is purple and so is my favourite nail polish. OPI’s Diva of Geneva is perfect with this still cold weather because it’s not too bright and summer-ish but it still is a fun colour.

Perfume: Vera Wang Glam Princess

Just the packaging already looks so glamorous, it’s smell great but you have to like strong scents.

Youtuber: http://www.youtube.com/user/lette76
Check out this amazing Retro Make-up Tutorial by Colette, after watching this I immediately looked on her channel for more amazing looks and subscribed to her channel.


TV-show: Hellcats
I already watch too many tv-shows but I came across this promo on Youtube and got curious. I started watching and got addicted. Anyone else agrees with me that brown hair looks amazing on Ashley Tisdale?


Song: Fefe Dobson – Stuttering
I heard this song on Hellcats episode 109: Finish What We Started, I just had to know who it was and I’ve been listening to it ever since almost every day. It has such powerful lyrics and a nice beat. The clip is unfortunately not what I expected, in my opinion it doesn’t really match the lyrics. Do you agree?


Well these are my favourites for January, what are your favourites? Got any questions or requests for reviews? Please let me know in the comments below!

Review: Urban Decay Naked Palette

Yeah, I got my hands on it! It wasn’t easy to find but I have it: the Urban Decay Naked Palette. I have it for over a month now and I’ve tried all the colours so I thought I share my opinion with you.

Eyeshadows:

Virgin: A very, very light shimmery nude colour. I love using this as a brow bone highlight or to light up the inner tear duct.

Sin: A frosty pale pink. (Permanent)

Naked: A matte medium brown. Perfect for blending out darker colours or nice for in the crease. (Permanent)

Sidecar: A very shimmery light brown.

Buck: A matte darker brown. This colour is a bit darker than naked, I like using this colour in the crease.

Half Baked: A shimmery gold. Perfect for all over the lid. (Permanent)

Smog: A shimmery dark brown/bronze colour. (Permanent)

Darkhorse: A dark chocolate brown.

Toasted: A shimmery brown/pink. A very original colour, I like using this all over the lid. (Permanent)

Hustle: A shimmery dark plummy brown.

Creep: A dark blue/black with silver shimmer. I like to use this to line my upper lid with when I have a more nude look.

Gunmetal: A blue/grey with silver shimmer. (Permanent)

The eyeshadows all feel very soft and are very pigmented. The swatches are all done without a base. This palette is amazing! For my eyes I can just grab this one palette and I have everything I need. Some of the shades are permanently available so if you love any of those shades you could also buy it separately.

24/7 Glide-on Pencils:

Zero: Black.

Whiskey: Dark brown.

The 24/7 Glide on Pencils are very soft and creamy.

You can use the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencils on your waterline.

 This set also comes with a mini Urban Decay Primer Potion. Probably the most famous primer. I´ve tried it and it makes my eyeshadows last all day and it doesn´t crease on me.

Overall:

+ A lot of eyeshadows you can combine perfectly. You can create a lot of looks just using this one palette.

+ Comes with a primer.

+ Comes with 2 eyeliners.

+ Comes with a mirror.

- Packaging is brown velvet. It looks sophisticated but you should be careful with it. Powder products stick to it and it better not to get it near any wet surfaces.

So in my opinion this palette is definitely worth the money. I bought it in Oxford, England at Boots. I paid £27.50 for it.
