EOTD feat MUA Undressed Palette

 Couple days ago I recieved my order from MUA which inculded the Undressed palette.So before I did review for it I obviously have to try it. I already used it twice. At first I was thinking of making FOTD but there was nothing special about the rest of my face so I opted for EOTD.

You could easily wear it at day and night,maybe for night look you could add some eyeliner.

Products used:

ELF Eyelid primer

NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk

From the Undressed palette:

Shade 1 to highlight

Shade 2 and 8 on the lid 

Shade 9 in outter corner

Shade 3 to to blend out

Shade 2 and 9 on the lower lash line

Tomorrow I will post my review for the Undressed Palette so definitely come back tomorrow :)

Also I have few looks on my mind that aren't so neutral , these day I really wanna play with colors so keep an eye for that too :).

My everydy makeup - FOTD

This is pretty much what I do on daily bases unless sometimes that I'm bored I will just use some mascara and some powder and I'm out :P

NYX Nude on Nude Palette Photos,Review,Swatches

I wanted to do this review for quite a while now so here we are.Many out there compare the NYX Nude on Nude palette to UD Naked palette.I can't really say anything about that as I don't own the Naked palette. What can I say is that I freaking love this one. It's my go to palette for everyday makeup.I pretty much use it every single day since I bought it.

Let's look inside this beauty :)

What I say about this palette:

  Like I said at the beginning I really love this palette.

- It has 20 beautiful neutral colors and with those you can create lots of different looks,from a very simple one to a dramatic smokey look.

- The colors will flatter anyone.

- Some of the are less opaque than others but with a primer and base you can get quite amazing pay off. ( I use elf mineral eyeshadow primer and nyx jumbo pencil in milk )

- My favorite shades are 1,2,3,7,8,9,10 ughh I love them all but I REALLY love and and use a lot 1,3,10  and 15. As a matter of fact I almost run out of the shades 3 and 15 as I used to use them everyday.

- Truth is that they can be quite chalky and won't last that long without primer and base.But hey,the primer and base I use cost me only around 8$ and I have them both for months!

- The only negative is that the eyeshadows do contain parabens.

- As for lip glosses,I really don't have much to say as I don't use them.Probably pretty much all of them are quite sticky.

- Somehow to me few of them look quite different when you put them on the lips from how they look in the pan, maybe it's just my idea but...

Overall:

For someone who is into neutral colors this is a great palette,especially if you don't want to spend 40$ or more for a palette.

I believe that it is definitely worth of checking,if you don't already own it

Rating:

5/5

Price:

around 25$ (depends where you buy it )

Availability:

nyx cometics

see here is where I bought it for 22$
