My makeup game has changed ever since the Naked palette came into my life. I’d been lusting after it forever, but I finally pulled the trigger on it over the summer with some birthday money. I don’t have to tell you that it’s great, you probably already know that. But what I can tell you as someone who was super hesitant to drop $50 on eyeshadow is that it was worth every penny. (I know it’s hard to see/read, but if you’re a makeup guru, you’ll notice that buck and sidecar are swapped. I got a defective palette, ha)! sin, half baked, naked, and toasted are my most used. I use creep daily in my tightline.
I’ve also been all about the lipstick lately. It’s taken me some time to get used to, growing up a lipgloss junky, but now I can’t get enough. Revlon Sultry and Rimmel Kate Moss 107 have been on constant rotation. Both are matte, comfortable, highly pigmented and long wearing. Oh. And cheap. Really cheap.
It wouldn’t be fall if there wasn’t a muted purple-grey nail polish in the mix. Julep’s Gabrielle made it on to my nails more than once in September. Y’all know that’s basically unheard of around here.
My short stubby lashes have been loving Cover Girl’s Clump Crusher. I used to be an all waterproof all the time kind of girl, but after reading an article about how bad that actually is for your lashes (and being over the nightly fight to remove said mascara), I made the switch. But finding a non-waterproof formula that didn’t smudge with my tiny, squinty little eyes was damn near impossible. So far Wet n’ Wild’s Megalength and the CG Clump Crusher are the only two that I’ve found that don’t flake and stay in place all day.
And for one sneaky non-beauty favorite, I had to include the Yankee Candle wax tart in kitchen spice. Oh, holy fall goodness. Just trust me, okay?
The original naked palette is still my favorite! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
I have the Naked 2 palette which I use quite a lot! As far as lipsticks, I'm loving Max Factor Angel Pink and Estée Lauder Sugar Honey at the moment 🙂 I have the Kate Moss 107 too but I don't think the red suits me quite as much so I don't wear it that often at all.

I just got the Naked 2 palette for my birthday and I'm loving it so far! I also use the Revlon lipstick and really like it, especially the price! (:
I totally agree with you – I rarely wear eye shadow so I was really hesitant on dropping the $50 bucks, but it was SO WORTH IT. And you don't have to tell me twice to try out a new Yankee Candle scent 😉
107 is totally gonna be on my blog tomorrow! one of my faves. love the original NP the best!
I have 2 of the Naked palettes and still use them a least 4 times a week! They are definitely a staple go-to!
I want the new Smokey Naked palette next! xx
I think that you may have convinced me to add a Naked palette to my wish list. Good thing my birthday is next week! 😉 Anyways. those all sound like great products and I love that nail polish!! I hope that you had a nice weekend too!! 🙂
Ummm we are totally on the same wave length because I literally just ordered this palette last week after going back and forth forever about whether or not I *needed* it and which palette I really wanted. So funny/weird those two shadows got switched! I haven't tried any of the Rimmel KS lipsticks but I'll be on the lookout for that one!
Love that Julep color!! I've been more into lipsticks too, which is unusual for me but they have been coming out with some awesome ones lately!
I love that eyeshadow palette! SO pretty!
I LOVE the naked eye shadow palettes! I have all 3, plus one of the naked Basics.
Ahh, the Naked palette! I have Naked3, but I've really been wanting the original. Naked3 is all rose tones, and I find I don't gravitate towards those as much for everyday use. I think I'd love this one, though!

That palette looks right up my alley! Such gorgeous colors!
The OG Naked palette is my favorite one by FAR! The quality (and colors!) are incredible. It's the only palette I ever use anymore!
I am the one person on Earth that does not own any NAKED palettes. Ha. I really like NARS velvet lip pencils for their matte texture and staying power. They are on the pricier side, but last so long. Dragon Girl is my favorite color.
Also, if they have them again this Winter, I would recommend picking up that "Sephora Favorites Give Me More Lip Box" which has ~30 mini lipsticks {that aren't so mini} so you can see if you like the various colors and/or the formulas of the different brands.
I bought the Febreeze scent blocks in Pumpkin Spice (I think that's what it's called) and it's Scentsy quality. Highly recommend.
I need to get a new lip-something. I buy $6 eyeshadow though.
I was late on the Naked train too… but it's all I use!!
I am constantly grabbing for my Naked palette and have been the last three years!
I have the Naked 2 but I'm wanting the original Naked palette now. I'll have to try out those lipsticks. I tend to keep forgetting to put on lipstick lately.
Oh how I love my Naked Palette. Sidecar is the first shade that I hit the pan on – so pretty!
