Product Review: Back to BASICS

Never has an eyeshadow palette been more highly anticipated!!! I exaggerate. The imminent release of a shadow neutrals palette gets 'bbloggers' (aka coolest club ever) across the globe giddy with excitement.

Buttery, smooth pigment, pressed into neat little rectangles, collated together with a massive mirror. What is not to love???

In all seriousness this is a great product to add to your ever growing collection. This palette has many a purpose, can take you from day to night and is small enough to pop in your oversized, fashion tote.

Please see the video below where I ramble on about how much I love it, where you can get it and how I apply it.


As if that wasn't enough, I also took pictures of the darn thing. Palette, shadows and swatches- I spoil you.

I got mine here from Debenhams online!

What do you think of the UD Naked Basics Palette? I say, you should join the cult.

These Past Seven Days (14)

This week has been a goodun'. I have got back into my training stride at the gym, lost the Canadian flubber that I gained whilst gorging on Nanaimo bars and Butter tarts AND had my work/ friends Xmas meal :)

For the work Xmas Meal I arranged for the office staff to dine at Jamies Italian. For £30 squid you got 3 courses, prosecco and a mince pie! What's not to like! Meat good, veg good, chocolate tart good... I sound like Joey from Friends when he tucked into Rachel's meat trifle ;)

Anywayyyyy then Mattie and I speeded off into Richmond to join a LOT of friends for after dinner drinks and MAJOR catch ups... I talked and laughed so much that we all promised to not let it be tooo long before another outing!

I also made some Christmas decs! The tree was looking a bit bare since myself and Matt ate all of the Lindt choc tree decs, SO I purchased a couple of Oranges and made the easiest thing possible. Slice the oranges about 1cm thick, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and place dirrectly on the rack. Bake in the oven for a good couple hours on a super low temp (80-100C) until they've dried out. Poke some dec wire through and hang! The scent of pine and cinnamon orange is so nice to come home to, you need to do it!

And after all that, I am exhausted- done my house chores, worked out, written the chrimbo cards ready for posting next week and now I chill before a big Sunday roast round the Mothers.

Hope you all had a great week, check out my pics and see you in the next one.
