I got Naked! (No, not the new one, the old one haha)

I had a $15 gift certificate from Sephora to spend (on a $50 purchase) and it was expiring yesterday so I went there with my hubby with every intention of getting the Tarte True Blood palette because it has a decent amount of neutral colors (something I desperately need more of if I intend on doing bridal makeup ever) and it was on sale for $36.  So I was all excited because I read the reviews on Sephora, I had seen Marlena's review on Makeup Geek, and it looked really good.  It was not.  The shadows were chalky and swatched super unevenly.  I don't know if I've just been spoiled by my Inglot shadows but those Tarte shadows weren't going to cut it for me.

So I had to figure something else out.  They had the original Naked palette in stock there, I swatched it and it was nicer than I had expected it to be.  I mean, I think neutrals are pretty but I'm not usually drawn to them.  So I decided to get that.  Unfortunately it was only $48, not $50 so I had to get something else too.  Darn haha.  Walking around, I was trying to decide when I went to the Sephora brand makeup.  And I saw this palette with baked shadows in it, I swatched them and was super surprised at how much I liked it.  So I got that too.  Now I have some neutrals!  Yay!

Here's the Naked palette you all have seen 15 million times

ohhh... purdy!

And this is the Sephora palette, I swatched these shadows over TFSI, both dry and wet

The shadows are all quite shimmery (except Deep Brown, which is only kinda shimmery) but I think they're really pretty.  And I think this will be an amazing booster palette to the Naked palette.  This palette was $28.

And today I did a look using the Naked palette, obviously haha:

I used:

TFSI

Toasted on lid

Creep in outer v

blended up with Sin

Virgin is my highlight color

L'oreal Carbon Black Lineur Intense

Maybelline the falsies Volum' Express mascara

Face:

Revlon Colorstay Oily/Combination Skin "Buff"

Neutrogena Healthy Skin 03"Buff"

Maybelline Super Stay concealer

Maybelline Dark Circle Eraser "Fair"

Covergirl Professional Loose Powder "Translucent Fair"

NYX "Peach" blush

ELF blush/bronzer duo

Lips:

MAC "Creme Cup" lipstick

NYX "Thalia" lipstick

I think this look is pretty.  It's subtle, but it is pretty.  I think with the addition of some nice, natural false lashes, this would be a great bridal look (for a natural bride, of course).

I know I'm like the last person on the planet to get this Naked palette but I was excited and figured I'd show you guys!!  Thanks so much for checking this out!!!
