$13 Urban Decay Naked 2 palette DUPE

Hey, Everybody!

A few months ago I found a slight dupe to the Urban Decay naked palette by QUO (click here to view), it was selling for $25 and I thought that wasn't too bad, considering the original naked palette is $60. Although the colours were almost identical in that palette, nothing else about the palette was similar to UD.

BUT, listen to this... are you ready.. I found a THIRTEEN dollar exact dupe for the naked 2 palette!!


See what I mean? This could fool anybody into believing its real by the front package, and it gets better! Look at the shadows in this palette 




This palette is very comparable to the original naked 2 palette in many many ways! 

First, the colours of the shadows are almost exactly alike. Secondly, the names of each shadows are the same on both palettes. Thirdly, it comes with a brush built the same (shader brush on one end and a blending brush on the other end).















There are for sure differences between this palette and the original palette, but that's to be expected! 

Price: $13.26 CAD
Where to buy: deal extreme website

I love Deal Extreme's website, it is mostly free shipping on everything and everything is at such low prices, but the quality of everything that I order is amazing! They also have other dupes for other makeup brands such as the Naked 1 palette dupe (link), the Balm Nude Tude palette dupe (link), and a Too Faced eye shadow palette dupe (link

Talk to you guys later!

Love,

Summer OOTD featuring bluenotes

Hey, everybody! 

I wore this outfit last week to run errands around town and just spend the day enjoying the nice summer heat! Being in Canada, it always feels great once the snow is completely gone and it's finally 25+ degrees outside! 


My cardigan, tank and denim shorts are all from bluenotes! I didn't plan this to happen, nor did I think I shopped at that store very often! But this is something that I would typically wear on a summer day and would usually pair this with some flip flops! 

Love,

My "To-Buy" list!

Hey, Everyone!

Hope you're all having a great long weekend!

I thought i'd share with you some of the items that have been on my "to-buy" list for a few weeks. I'm one of those people that need to write down all of their "to-do" and "to-buy" things on the notepad on their iphone or else i'll neeeever remember!


1. Rimmel London Scandaleyes Kohl Kajal

I bought this in 'nude' a few weeks ago and have been obsessing over it! I use it on my waterline to make my eyes appear bigger/brighter. I find using a nude rather than a white gives a more natural look. So because I loved it in nude so much I decided that I would try it out in brown and use it on my lid as my eyeliner because I prefer to use brown as eyeliner rather than black on a daily basis.


2. Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder

This powder is SO GOOD! When I first apply my Maybelline BB cream my face looks a bit dewy, but once I apply this powder over it my face is automatically matte! It also helps keep your face matte throughout the day. I never find myself looking oily at all with this powder! My current stay matte powder has some serious "hit-pannage" happening at the moment so i'm in need of a new one soon! 

3. Bioderma Sensibio H2O 

I bought a tiny travel size of this a few months ago before committing and buying the full size to test if I would like it or not, and I think it acts wonderfully as a makeup remover. I'm not exactly a fan of makeup remover wipes, I continuously find myself buying new packs to find out if I'll find a favorite but I never really do. Right now at Shoppers Drug Mart Bioderma is 30% off so I will take advantage of that sale and buy a full size of this bottle! 

4. Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids 

During spring and summer I love wearing bright vivid colours because it makes your tan pop out! I've been seeing these every time I go to the drugstore and I think i'm going to give in and pick up one to try out! I'm thinking i'll try out the shade "shocking coral" 

5. The Body Shop Round Bath Brush

With spring here its finally shorts weather and you need to make sure your legs are exfoliated so that your moisturizer will sink into your skin! This brush looks like a really great size to exfoliate the larger parts of your body such as your arms, legs, stomach and feet. I need!!

6. Yves Rocher Body Wash Spanish Pomegranate 

I love my yves rocher body wash in green tea to death but I noticed that they came out with a new scent - Spanish Pomegranate, doesn't that sound so heavenly? I love pomegranates and anything pomegranate scented so I know I will probably love this, maybe it will tie with my green tea body wash?

So, that is everything that is on my to-buy list as of May! I hope you guys enjoyed and don't forget to follow for all of the latest updates and blog posts! 

Love,
Rebecca
