SEPHORA HAUL ♡ PART 1 ♡ URBAN DECAY


This is a super exciting post about a recent splurge at Sephora thanks to some lovely friends who went stateside!  Sephora is the kind of place I would happily live in given the chance. I can't get enough of it and I still remember the giddy feeling when I first discovered it in New York a few years ago.

This post is part one of two and features Urban Decay products that I had been lusting over for a few months. I will most probably go into more detail about these when I feature them in future posts but for now this is just a little insight into what I purchased.

NAKED PALETTE

NAKED 2 PALETTE

I'm a huge fan of the Naked 3 which was my first Urban Decay shadow palette and I wanted to complete the collection with the Naked and Naked 2. 

These shadows have amazing staying power and they blend beautifully together. All the colours are different apart from "Half Baked" which features in both but this is a good base colour that will get loads of use.

My only complaint about the Naked palette is that it doesn't come in the lovely metal type packaging that the Naked 2 and 3 come in. This is a shame as I can see the velvet case getting ruined over time and visually it looks a bit old fashioned. 
They both come with a really good double ended brush which is handy for travel along with the large mirror in each palette.

AMMO PALETTE


This is a super cute palette that has 10 of Urban Decay's best selling shades. It comes with a cute brush and a mini Primer Potion which is great to pop into my travel make up bag. There are 8 shades that I think I will get a lot of wear out of like Chopper, Sin, Grister & Polyester Bride.

DE-SLICK MATTIFYING POWDER


This is a lovely translucent mattifying powder that comes in a gorgeous purple compact case. I have been popping this on my oily bits during the day and so far it's doing a good job. I love that the puff it comes with has a silicone side that sticks onto the mirror when not in use.

GOOD KARMA OPTICAL BLURRING BRUSH

FLUSHED DOUBLE ENDED BRUSH

PRIMER POTION- ORIGINAL

These brushes were my first non-make-up purchase from Urban Decay. I picked these out as they had good reviews and I was eager to try them out. The optical blurring brush is perfect for blending and buffing make-up into the skin. So far I have used it to buff in my face powder but I also want to use it to apply foundation as I have read that it gives really good results.  The 2nd brush is a double ended one used to apply bronzer, highlighter, and blush. It feels like a good quality brush and I think that it will wash well. 

My addiction to Urban Decay's primer potion continues and I purchased the original shade this time. I love this one as much as the other two that I already have.



All of these products are available in Debenhams and other good department stores although Sephora now delivers to the UK!

In a few weeks time I will be sharing part 2 of this post which includes goodies from Too Faced, Benefit, Clinique, Sephora and Beauty Blender. ♡
Thanks for reading!
