Random looks using Naked 2 palette

Just some random eyes I did recently...I know, they're messy and quick and the pics were taken after full days of wear, but for some reason I just felt like posting them...I kinda like them!

I used

UDPP Original

Verve all over, from Naked 2

Pistol on outer half, from Naked 2

Virgin on inner corner and as highlight, from Naked 1

24/7 liner in Lust (first time using it...really like it!)

24/7 liner in Perversion on waterline (completely worn off by then...lol)

Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara in Black

CoverGirl Lash Blast Luxe in Black Royale (love this!!)

Maybelline The Falsies in Black

Ok...I had like 5 minutes to do my makeup this morning, haha. But I figured I'd use Lust because I got it as a free sample from a UD order back in like November and I still hadn't used it. My go-to purple liner is Ransom, which I love, but I wanted a true purple liner since that one is so blue. This is not it. In fact, this is more of a blurple (blue purple) than purple...ah well. It's gorgeous. It didn't glide on as good as some other shades do (Baked, I'm looking at you!) but it wasn't bad. I think it's just cuz it was the first time using it. Usually with time they get easier to use and less drag/pull-ish.

Also, I just bought Lash Blast Luxe in Black Royale and I heart it! I saw it on Scrangie's blog and she said it was pretty good, so of course I HAD to have it. I seriously get a new mascara like every time I go out. It's ridiculous. This is definitely one of the better ones though. I tried Maybelline Illegal Lengths recently and it is just soo bad. For real. I've used it like 5 times and I think I'm just gonna throw it away. The biggest problem is probably that I accidentally got the waterproof one and I HATE waterproof mascara, but it does like nothing for my lashes. Ugh.

I used

UDPP Original

Chopper all over, from Naked 2

Virgin on inner corner, from Naked 1

24/7 liner in Corrupt (Favorite. Ever.)

24/7 liner in Perversion on lower waterline (looks all gross and worn off after a full day, lol)

Rimmel London Lash Accelerator in Black

CoverGirl Lash Blast Luxe in Black Royale

Maybelline The Falsies in Black

Chopper looks so ridiculously orange on me. Soo unflattering. It's a pretty shade though...I love the glitter in it. And Corrupt...I just love it. I got it in the 15th Anni set last year and I never want to run out. Really wish it was a permanent shade. :(

Speaking of Urban Decay, I just put in an order on their website the other day! I'll post pics when I get it...I'm pretty pumped. I think it'll be here tomorrow afternoon, which is unfortunate cuz I'll be out of town from tomorrow morning until Saturday or Sunday. Lame. Bright side: going shopping Friday...which means Sephora! Yayyyyyy.

A few Naked 2 Palette looks

Just wanted to post the first 2 looks I did with my Naked 2 palette...

This was my Christmas Eve look. I used:

Verve all over lid and into crease

Pistol on outer half of lid

Suspect on outer half and into crease

Snakebite on outer third and into crease

Busted on outer edge

Ace (from 15th Anniversary palette) on outer edge

YDK, just a little bit, on outer edge

Verve, Suspect, and Snakebite on lower lashline

Virgin (from first Naked) as highlight and on inner corner

Zero 24/7 liner on waterline

Maybelline the Falsies mascara in Blackest Black

...quite a list. Anyways, this was the more grey, or I guess, greige of the two looks I've done. My pictures wash it out A LOT and make it look wayyy lighter. In real life, this was a darker silver. I guess I do have some pictures from my phone that sort of show it..

Well, that's a little bit better! Anyways, that's the basic idea of this look.

This was my Christmas look. I used:

Bootycall all over lid and into crease

Suspect on outer half of lid

Snakebite on outer third and into crease

YDK on outer half

MIA (from 15th Anniversary palette) on outer edge

Suspect in crease

Vanilla (from 15th Anni palette) on inner third of lid

Bootycall, Suspect, Snakebite, and MIA on lower lashline

Virgin (from first Naked) as highlight and in inner corners

Perversion 24/7 liner on waterline

Maybelline the Falsies mascara in Blackest Black

...this was the more gold/less silver look. I really like how this one turned out, but I'm not sure which look I prefer. I really like that the Naked 2 palette has more grey/greige shades, because with my Naked 1, it was like champagne or gold Every. Single. Day. And with Naked 2, you can do gold, or champagne, or silver, or greige...more variety. Gotta love it.

Also, just for fun, here's a look I did a few days before I got my Naked 2 palette, using my Naked 1...

Unfortunately, the pic is really bad, but this look was great. I think I used Sin, Toasted, and Virgin (maybe a couple others...ugh I can't remember!), and Zero on my waterline, and of course the Falsies. But what I really loved about this look was that I used my Radium 24/7 liner from the Electric set. It looked AWESOME. The light blue liner really popped against the shadow...I'll for sure be doing this look again. Love it.

Anyways, that was another long post! Lol.

Mascaras -- Maybelline One by One, the Falsies, and Rimmel London Lash Accelerator

Just a random post about one of my favorite things besides nail polish...MASCARA!

My usual is Rimmel London Lash Accelerator. Want a picture or two, then review?

(please don't mind the scary close-up-ness of the pics...or my scary eyebrows! I know, I need to fix em...)

Naturally, I have nice long eyelashes. But once I started using LA...wow. My lashes, even bare, were full, dark, long, lush. LA claims something like 80% (give or take) longer lashes immediately after using, and 117% longer lashes in a month or something like that. Truthfully? I don't know how to measure that, but I'd say it worked some pretty darn good magic. I started using it right after Christmas...I'm on my 2nd tube now. Love, love, love it. The brush is awesome...COMPLETELY non-clumpy, even, etc. And it doesn't take a million coats to make a difference...my pics are with one quick coat. Plus, they were taken at night, after a full day of wear...no flaking or anything. Pretty nice, right?!
Sidenote: eyeshadow used here is from my Urban Decay Naked palette...and no eyeliner (well, I always start out the day using UD 24/7 in some various color on my waterline, but at this point in the night I'm sure it had worn off!)

Now, for some other mascaras...Maybelline One by One and the Falsies Black Drama....both of the waterproof variety. This, I don't get to rave about as much...see for yourself.

(again, sorry the pics are so creepy looking!! Also, I have a teeny bit of UD 24/7 in Zero on my waterline...it was after a full day's wear (the eyeliner at least, not the mascara), so sorry it looks so bad!!!)

This is approximately 1.5 trillion coats of One by One and 1 coat of Falsies. So technically all you're seeing is the Falsies...which is all you'd see anyways, because ObO did NOTHING for me!!! I'm thinking it might be because of the brush, which is really nice at separating and defining lashes, but it doesn't put ANY color or anything on lashes! I wanted to love it, but couldn't. And then there's the Falsies...
This past fall, the Falsies (regular, not waterproof, not this "Black Drama" thing) was my regular go-to mascara. And it was okay. My lashes looked nice, but the problem was...flaking! It flakes so badly. And once my tube was used up, I saw this interesting looking Falsies Black Drama mascara. I was intrigued so I got it...not noticing it was waterproof. See, I'm not a waterproof mascara kinda gal, because if my mascara's waterproof, I have to use waterproof makeup remover, which irritates my eyes. Liquid makeup removers are terrible to me. Normally, I just use that Clinique Naturally Gentle Eye Makeup Remover (the lotion-type remover)...and it's awesome. Not irritating at all. That doesn't work on waterproof. But anyways, that's just another downside of this.
See how clumpy and weird it looks? I don't know if my Falsies is just an off tube or what, but that's how it is. It's so thick and gross. I don't know if maybe I just got 2 bad mascaras and these are normally very good, but neither of these worked for me. At all. I guess I'll be sticking to LA for now! ...

Anyways, what a totally random post. Haha. And sidenote, I purchased these for myself and these are my own personal opinions! So...

Sincerely, Cat
