Urban Decay!!!!

It is with absolute delight that I can now say that I own an Urban Decay Naked Palette (Naked 2, to be exact).  Mecca Maxima has made me one happy makeup junkie by bringing the cult brand to Australia (finally).  I can't believe that it's taken this long for Aussie's to be able to get their hands on this brand, a little unfair on us really.
Mecca released Urban Decay on Friday 27th March, and while I really wanted to be there on launch day, I couldn't get the day off work (excuse me boss, can I please have Friday off to buy makeup - didn't really seem plausible.)  So I waited until the following Monday and off I went.  Best Day Ever!
Wow thats sad, but really a little true.  My fellow makeup junkie friend and I were so excited wandering around the store touching and playing with every product, after grabbing a Naked palette for fear they'd sell out while we were in the store.
Now I only walked away with a few products - well only 3 actually.  My Naked 2 palette, All Nighter makeup spray and Naked Flushed Palette.  I have a wedding coming up, so can't be making too big purchases right now.

So far I have to say that I really am loving the Naked 2 palette, the colours are beautiful, they blend really well and definitely live up to their hype.  Im still playing with colour combinations, trying to find out what I like and what works for everyday and for nights out etc, and will post a tutorial soon.


As for the All Nighter spray, Im still on the fence here to be honest.  Its definitely better than Mac Fix +, but it seems to work just as well as my NYX matte makeup spray.  Although I'm still in the testing phase so we'll see how it compares soon.

The Naked Flushed Palette is also really awesome.  A great blush, a highlighter and a bronzer.  Im loving the blush and the highlighter, but I find I'm still reaching for my Benefit Hoola Bronzer and the Urban Decay one has just a slight shimmer in it - Not disco ball shimmer by any means, but too much for my liking when it comes to contouring - great if it is being used as a bronzer though.

All in all, LOVING Urban Decay and can't wait to try some more products
