Autumn / Wedding Makeup tutorial using Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

It has been quite a while since I did a makeup tutorial. I was, let's say somewhat uninspired. Or maybe it was because of the excessive heat that we were having in October. Yes, you read October. Until around 2 weeks ago we were having temperatures of around 25 degrees.

Huge Makeup Haul (MAC, Urban Decay, Benefit, essence, Jo Malone and much more) + Swatches

So, finally I the Huge Makeup video is up and you can find it linked below:

I have been on a makeup ban for around 5 months and I really did break my bank account... and I am determined that it will be quite some time before I do another makeup haul. Below are the photos and the swatches of the products!

Notes:

The essence of charm. Peonies in voluptuous bloom, exquisitely fragile. Flirtatious with the juicy bite of red apple and the opulence of jasmine, rose and gillyflower. Mingling with the sensuality of soft, blush suede. Luxurious and seductive.

Urban Decay Primer Potion | Review

Urban Decay is a brand which I honestly desperately which was available in Malta along with several others like MAC and Sephora and Nars and others. If you are into makeup I am pretty sure you heard about the Naked palette range. I have the original one and now I am dying to try out the Naked 3 palette.

Last year, when I was in the UK for IMATS I managed to get my hands on the Naked palette from Debenhams. This palette came with a small trial size of the Primer Potion.

I wanted to try this much raved product for ages and well since it isn't cheap, I thought it was a good idea to try it out. It is actually a very good eye primer. It has this kind of creamy although not entirely creamy, consistency which kind of sets to a somewhat dry finish.

It holds up pretty well and the eyeshadows really sit well on it. I find that the eyeshadows are more vibrant and saturated with the primer. Does it crease? Well, let me just get it straight. In the humid, sunny, sweaty summer months that we have in Malta, it will crease at some point but not like at once, more likely after several hours. To top it off I really have oily eyelids and I do get a shiny face quicker.

There are several shades of this kind of primer I believe but this is the kind of nude shade. Would I repurchase it again? I am not quiet sure to be honest. There are a couple of eyeshadow primers which I want to try. But I strongly suggest trying it out, although it is a bit pricey.
