Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette

Something I have been asked about a whole lot lately is the Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette.  I wasn't surprised when I heard Urban Decay was coming out with another palette in their 'Naked' line. With their original creating absolute havoc in the beauty world when it was released, and every palette being subsequently popular, the brand (rightly so) should ride out the wave that has sparked cosmetics lines all over the world to bring back the neutral. I've found some of the palettes in the 'Naked' line a tad hit or miss, so I was a skeptic on whether one marketed towards a smokey look would float my boat. I'm happy to say this boat is floating just fine folks, and this palette has really pleasantly surprised me!

Neutrals | Current Favourites For Eyes, Cheeks and Lips

In years past I was a big colour lover when it came to makeup. Purple was my comfort place. As I've gotten older (eww) I've found myself embracing a good neutral a lot more. I also learned that neutral doesn't have to mean straight up brown and beige - there are pink neutrals, plum neutrals, gold neutrals. You get the point. Here are my picks for some of my favourite neutral themed products as of late. Be prepared to read the word 'neutral' more times than you ever cared to... 

Lippies That Live in my Bag

My handbag might change from time to time, and occasionally I have been know to carry more than a few (cough, or 9) lip products, but at the end of the day there are only three I absolutely always have on hand. They live there, right in my purse for easy grabbing at all times.
