Review: Too Faced Naked Eye Palette

Today I will reviewing a palette that I have started using again and it's the Too Faced Naked Eye! It is probably not as hyped as the Natural Eye Palette but I really love it!
This palette retails for roughly $60 here in Australia but I got this off Asos for $30. Beautybay.com also sells  it for roughly $30.


This palette has 9 shades and vary between shimmer and matte. It also came with cards to show different looks you can create with the shadows but I prefer not to use them. The palette has 3 rows for 3 different looks day, classic and fashion. I tend to ignore this and use whatever colours.
 They are really nice shades that can be worn everyday but you can also make it into a more edgy night look! The bigger shadows are meant to be highlight shades but I find the bottom two good for an over all lid colour

These are swatches in the same order of the picture above! (no primer or base)
These eyeshadows are amazing quality and last a decent amount of time without a primer, the pigmentation is also great as you can tell in the picture! I have found these eyeshadows to crease yet.

Overall
Pigmentation:4.5/5
Packaging: 3/5
(I think the packaging is really cute but I don't think it needs to be that big, also I think a mirror would have been nice.
Pros: Really nice good quality eyeshadows, lasts long on the eyelids
Cons: The size of the highlight shade probably didn't need to be bigger than the others, Price (Aud)
Overall Rating: 4/5

Top 5 Summer Shoes!

Since this is a fashion blog as well as a beauty blog, this post is going to be my most worn/favorite shoes for summer!

1) Dotti Cage Wedges $30
 I love these wedges! They are so comfortable and easy to walk in. They are also in a tan colour, which is perfect for summer (they also come in black). I got these from the Dotti Website and are marked down from $60! 

2) Black and Silver Havianas $20-$30
 Okay so I can't do a summer shoes post without showing my thongs (or in other countries flip flops but in Aus thats what we call them!) I live in these in the summer time, they are great quality and I have had mine for 3 years now! They are more pricey than the average pair but I think these are great and come in so many colours and prints.

3) Betts Black Sandals
 Sandals like these go with pretty much anything! I got these from Betts 4 years ago as you can probably tell from how old they look! But of course you can find some like these anywhere! 

4) Vans Black and White Authentic Lo Pros $90
 Canvas shoes at the moment are really popular at the moment! I got these Vans at the start of the year and they are so comfortable and I wear them a lot! I wear them all year round and again they pretty much go with anything! 

Rubi Shoes Bonnie Wedge $5
I got these bright coral wedges from Rubi for $5! Which is a fantastic bargain. I have no idea what they retailed for but for the price I paid I think they are great. These are perfect with a summer dress and to add more colour to an outfit!

Like the new camera quality?! Well hopefully I can use it more often!

Top 5 Summer Beauty Products!

Since summer is approaching really fast, today's post is going to be top 5 summer beauty products. Sorry I have not posted in ages but I would like to thankyou all for getting my blog to 1500 views! I know thats not a lot to some but to me it is. Also I will be posting more fashion videos as my blogs title suggests 'Beauty and Fashion' :)

1) Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream
 This is probably one of the most hyped up product and I'm kinda last too try it. I found this on sale for $8 and thought I had to try it! So I did and I love it. It's the perfect shade for me even though there is only two. It gives really light coverage but that is all have been needing/wanting for summer time. I know its not a product that everyone will love but I think its worth trying!

2) Maybelline Color Tattoo 'Bad to the Bronze'
 These color tattoo's are perfect for summer! As the packaging suggests 24hr wear but not too sure on that one. It certainly gives you a full day of opaque colour and is amazing quality for the price. I just use this as and all over the lid colour and nothing else it looks great!

3) Clinique Cream Shaper for the Eyes
 This is an eyeliner from Clinique. What makes this product so special is that it has amazing pigmentation but also lasts without smudging for pretty much the entire day! The brown shade is perfect for an everyday eye as black I find too intense. Even though I have quite dark hair and black eyelashes the product still looks great. (This also comes in other shades including black)

4) Korres Lip Butter Pomegranate

This product gives nice subtle colour to the lips and is extremely moisturising. I usually like to wear light makeup during the summer and too me this product is a must have!

5) Neutrogena Ultimate Sport Sunscreen Lotion
Sunscreen is a must for summer and what makes this one stand out is that it is non-greasy and non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog your pores. I love this sunscreen for my face as it does not leave that greasy feel and it also quite light on the skin. It has SPF 30+, which I think is a must for summer.

Whats your top 5 beauty products?
