Urban Decay haul and fall nails

I recently acquired the Urban Decay Naked Palette, thanks to a very nice Swiss subscriber of mine who offered to custom purchase one for me on her trip to London. (A custom purchase, aka CP, is when someone buys you something and sends you the product, and you pay them back for it. This is sometimes done for hard to find products.) Since Urban Decay isn't available in Switzerland, I was so happy to get my hands on this! (Thank you Fabienne!)


It comes with 12 neutral color eyeshadows, a mini Primer Potion, and a dual end 24/7 eyeliner in black (Zero) and brown (Whiskey). This palette has been much discussed in the beauty world, and I've heard from some it's a little bit hard to come by in the States now. For what it's worth, it's available at Sephora and Ulta in the USA, and House of Fraser, Debenham's and Boots in the UK. Ordering online through those sites might be your best bet.

For internationals, I contacted HQhair.com before I obtained this one, and was informed by a customer rep: "I can confirm that we will be stocking this item and it will be in stock at the end of this month." So fret not if you don't have it yet, and please don't pay exorbitant ebay prices for it! Don't quote me on this, but I think HQhair ships worldwide, hopefully that will count for this palette too.

Please don't expect any tutorials with this quite yet, I'm currently still ploughing through Halloween looks. Maybe I'll have time to do a look with this before Halloween is over but I can't promise anything.

Lastly I wanted to show you one of my favorite nailpolishes for fall. I give you China Glaze "Foxy".


It's a bit more brown toned in real life, but I absolutely love this shade for fall; the perfect blend of copper, brown and red. I do believe I'll be wearing this loads!

That's it for today. My mother is visiting this weekend for a few days, so I probably won't be around much. So wishing you an early happy weekend!

  4. I got it for $44 at Ulta in Oklahoma. I have a friend who works there and she let me know when the next shipment came in so I got it. Honestly, I'm kinda meh on it. The UD shadows are a little less pigmented than I'd like. I prefer MAC or MUFA shadows. But great colors.

  14. I've been indecisive on the Naked palette, it's probably a great one to have but I haven't had the extra cash to grab it.
    I'm not normally a huge fan of red polishes but Foxy is my favorite to date. There is something about it that is just gorgeous!

  16. It's funny that HQhair gave you the information that they are going to stock the Naked palette as I asked the same question a few weeks back and got told that they WON'T stock it.
    Let's see what happens. But it would be the greatest thing for all of us who don't live in the USA or UK and want to get their hands on it (like me!!!!).
