Urban Decay naked ultimate basic palette review and swatches

9th November 2016

Guess who is finally back!! did you miss me?! I’m so sorry for my absence on the blog recently I took a well needed break, as I’ve had a lot of personal stuff going on and needed some me time. But I am back and I’ve got my motivation back too I’m glad to say…. yay!!

I can’t wait to get writing again and I’m so looking forward to all my Christmas posts I’ve got coming up that I’m currently working on!

But less of me boring you, todays post is all about the Urban decay naked Ultimate basic palette (wow that is a mouthful)

Would you believe it if I told you that I’ve never owned an urban decay palette!! I was just never tempted by any of them if I’m completely honest, well until this one come out that is.

Keep on reading to find out my review on this urban decay palette everyone is talking about recently.

It’s the naked ultimate basics, and we all know I love a basic palette especially matte and this palette is all matte, well apart from one shade which is more of a satin/shimmer, I can never have enough neutral  matte shades, none of the other UD naked palettes ever did anything for me but I was in love with this as soon as I saw it, the packaging is stunning, the shades are definitely everyday basic shadows and I was really intrigued to try a UD palette to see what the formula was like.

I know so many people rave about the UD palettes so I wanted to see for myself what all the fuss was about.

How gorgeous is this packaging?! it’s rose gold and I’m obsessed, it really does stand out!

I know a lot of people don’t like the new shape and layout but I love it, it’s not to bulky which I think makes it perfect for travel and on the go, and I also love the fact it has a giant mirror and good quality brush included, the smaller end of the brush is perfect for blending and smudging the shadow on the lower lash line.

The bottom shades, extra bitten, faith and lockout are my favourite, extra bitten is a stunning brick toned orangey brown and it’s hands down my favourite  shade in the palette. Pre game and blow I use for my inner eye highlight and brow bone.

The actual shades are really pigmented but the first thing I noticed is they have a lot of fall out in the pan, I cant compare this with other UD palettes but this might be totally normal for UD shadows.  They blend nice and feel really smooth but considering this is my first UD palette I’ve got to be honest, I’m not blown away by it which I’m sad to say, these shadows are very easily dupable, so if you passed on this I wouldn’t worry. I have so many eyeshadow palettes I love including my ABH, morphe palettes etc and I’m not sure this Basic palette is anything spectacular In comparison.  Don’t get me wrong I am glad I got this as I can finally say I’ve finally tried out an UD naked palette and like I’ve said before I love makeup with pretty packaging and I’m a bit of a hoarder so I don’t regret buying it plus I do really hate  buying makeup and then regretting it after, even if I don’t like something I can never part with it. I’ve actually been really good recently and only been buying stuff that I really need rather than just lusting after ha! It has saved me a lot of money and also space.

I know everyone was looking forward to this palette, did you get it let me know in the comments what you think?

 

Thanks for reading. Xo

    Thats the reason i didnt buy it,the shades are too common and easily duped.I think people buy it because it’s UD and they like the formula.Still a good palette if you dont have these shades.Glad you’re back,missed your posts-youre one of my go-to girls xx

    Such a stunning palette! Really really beautiful. I just worry I wouldnt use it that much being all matte no shimmer 🙂 But it is stunning, that warm orange shade is incredible!

My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmati My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmatian print wrapping paper 😭 this could have been my present alone and I would have been thrilled! Love how it goes with my Dalmatian baubles 🤩 he knows me so well 🎁 🖤and it’s completely recyclable 👌🏼♻️
Just the presents to put under the tree, the annua Just the presents to put under the tree, the annual Christmas Eve clean up, set up the Christmas Day table and get myself sorted and pampered and we are all ready!! Can’t wait to just chill for a few days as Christmas always goes so quick doesn’t it. I Hope you all have a lovely Christmas whatever it is you will be doing 🎄 🎅🏻🤶🏻 🎁 🍾🥂 here’s some pictures of my tree with the lights on, it’s weird as these lights I got from the range look different each time I turn them on 🙈 I think I prefer my old ones from last year to be honest👀
I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads fo I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads for a while now as we wanted something new for the new additions we have. I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house! Oh take me back to being a kid and being excited for Christmas ha ha! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feel I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂
Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pret Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next fo Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
