The Naked 2 Palette Review | Perfect Fixations

Hello darlings
I'm sorry that there hasn't been a post for a while, but do due a heavy Uni work load i haven't had much time. But now i'm back and have for you this little gem! I had been wanting the Urban Decay Naked 2 for the longest time and my wonderful daddy bought me this for Christmas. So now i've had it enough time to use and have for you my thoughts!
I am a massive fan of Urban Decay Palettes and have gained quite a collection over the last year! I'm so happy to finally got this palette. As usual i'll start off with the packaging, the tin i'm not a big fan of. I much prefer the Naked 1 and Naked Basic palettes. But it does remind me of paint palettes i use to use in art at school! A little nostalgia there for you, haha. There is a great colour range, good mix for different looks, either staying simple or dramatic! Unlike the Naked 1 this palette is much more cool tones. I have to admit i'm more warm toned but i think having both the Naked 1 and 2 i can create a wide range of looks that suite me and my skin tone. The shadows are much more neutral that i'm finding are perfect for everyday use. I think you can get a lot more use in everyday life out of this than the Naked 1 as they are more sublte. The shadows have a good pay off, really pigmented, especially the metallics. 
My Favourite shade is 'Suspect' which is beautiful subtle deep gold colour. 
Overall i am so thrilled with this palette and can't wait to use it more!
At £37 is a little splurge but i totally think its worth it.

Let me know have you tried this palette or any of the other Naked palettes? What are your thoughts?

Urban Decay's Naked Basics 2 Review | Perfect Fixations.

Hello darlings. 
Today i finally have for you my thoughts on the wonderful Naked Basics 2 Palette!
(L-R) Skimp, Stark, Frisk, Cover, Primal and Undone. 

As you will already know if you have been following my blog for a while that i am in love with my Naked Basics Palette so when i heard they were bringing out a second one you can imagine my excitement! I'm a huge fan of matte shadows especially when they are long lasting and good for everyday use. I received this palette for my birthday, after dropping several hints, back at the start of November and now have used it enough to give you my thoughts on it. 

I'll start off by saying there is a wonderful selection of wearable neutral colours that are great for everyday use. They are rich and creamy just like all Urban Decay shadows are. They are AMAZING quality and definitely worth the money. I believe once you try Urban Decay shadows you're immediately converted! The packaging i love and its perfect for travelling as its compact and its made of sturdy material. This palette has more cooler tones than the original which are more warmer. But you some of these shadows are a lot deeper so you can create so more dramatic looks.

The colours in this palette are:
Skimp, Stark, Frisk, Cover, Primal and Undone. 
I especially love the colour Frisk as i don't own anything like it, it is a beautiful grey toned colour. I have found the shade Cover works as a wonderful colour for the crease, its a beautiful reddish brown. Overall I'm definitely loving this palette and would highly recommend it but i think i still prefer my original one. I think the warmer toned colours suit my skin tone better. 

I'd love to know have you tried the Naked Basics 2 Palette? What are your thoughts on it? 
Perhaps its on your Christmas wish list?
