Urban Decay new eyeshadows for Summer 2015!

I do love Summer make up releases. Urban Decay have some fantastic new bits for Summer 2015. I was very lucky to have been sent one of their new eyeshadows to try out. There are 8 new shades available, and I have here "Sideline" which is described as gold with a green shift. 

First of all, let me say that the packaging is absolutely stunning! The eyeshadow itself is very unusual, it is a very yellow gold into an almost olive green. It's definitely up my street. I much prefer duo tone shadows like these compared to any other shadow. They are just something a bit more interesting!

I found it really easy to apply, it is just bursting with pigmentation and it's quite soft and easy to blend out. It's such a unique colour, that I really didn't know what to do with it or what to pair it with! In the photos below I am just wearing it alone with minimal eyeliner and I just went for a neutral lip. I think it speaks for itself but I would like to pair it up with more eyeshadows for a more intense look.

Because it is such a soft eyeshadow, I found that it had creased on me after abut 8 or so hours (I always use an eyeshadow base, currently using a Mac Paint Pot) which is a fairly decent wear time in my opinion.

I am kind of an Urban Decay newbie and have just discovered that these eyeshadows pop out and you can create your own palettes with these! That sounds very handy if you have a few of these single pots. The new shades all seem to be absolutely stunning and that little something different. I would love to try "Fireball" next! But I am very happy with how Sideline looks and performs.

The new Urban Decay eyeshadows are available now from select Debenhams www.debenhams.ie and House of Fraser at Dundrum Town Centre and cost €18 each.

What do you think of the new eyeshadows?

Urban Decay NAKED Combination - part 3

Hello and a happy Wednesday to you! I am back again with another post showing a look created using Urban Decay Naked. I honestly can't stress enough, this is the best eyeshadow palette I have ever owned! It's so versatile!

I got the idea from this look from macshadowcombos on Youtube in her February favourites video (watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-8OZUWDzto&list=UUwQ48S6LdJVdGUM27M0oy4w)

So, to achieve this look, you are using Sin on the inner half of the eyelid, Smog on the outer half, and Half Baked in the crease. Half Baked is such a shimmery gold shade, I wasn't sure if I could make it work or not but I think it looks fantastic! I usually go for more darker shades for the crease.

What do you think of this look? I love how all the shades come together to create this beautiful, bronzey look. I think it makes my eyes look really blue as well! I think this would probably work best as more of an evening look, perhaps with your favourite bold lipstick!

I hope you all are well and enjoy the rest of the week!

IsaDora Sugar Crush Nail Polish - Coral Crush

 These polishes have been absolutely raved about since their release, anyone who reviewed them on their blogs I was admiring them, but I was kind of put off by the idea that they felt quite gritty once they were on your nails, and I dislike polishes like that.

But - when I was in Debenhams and saw them in "real life", they actually took my breath away! Especially this coral shade, as I am mad about coral everything at the moment.

Anyway, they cost £7.99 and in the pictures below I have on two coats. Actually the gritty texture doesn't annoy me that much, it is not as bad as Sally Hensen Gem Crush for instance.

This polish is just the most fabulous orange colour, with gold shimmer. I cannot tell you how much I love it. Now I know why everyone was raving about these polishes! I want more!
