Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation Review & Demo

Urban Decay recently released a foundation called NAKED Skin and I wanted to give it a try.

My biggest concerns with any foundation is that it must cover my acne scars, and so far it takes 2 pumps of the NAKED Skin foundation to do so. Overall it is a nice foundation, but color variations need more work.

Here are some Pros:

  • Light weight
  • Good coverage
  • Oil Free
  • Easy Application
Here are some Cons:
  • Matching issues. There needs to be more color options for people of color
  • Breaks down past the 5-6hr mark (on me)
  • Must be "warmed up" with a colored setting powder as it appears ghostly without it.
  • Fails to look like "skin." You will look like you are wearing makeup
Here is the video demo:

Have you tried this foundation?

Jewelry haul ft. Disney Couture, Ideeli & more

I wanted to share my recent jewelry haul with you. 
I shopped at Ideeli.com and Hautelook.com for all these pieces.

I love this bracelet from Ideeli! It fits really snug so Disney Couture did a good job with the fit even though I think it's a bit tight.



I got these earrings from Hautelook and they are by Amrita Singh. I love the rhinestones and the blue stone accents. Surprisingly they are really light and don't weight my ears down.

This last pair of earrings stole my heart! I bought them from Ideeli and they are from the Disney Couture line. They are the perfect way to say you are a disney fan in a grown up way.

Which are your faves?
