Urban Decay NAKED On The Run Palette Review

Urban Decay NAKED On The Run

This travel friendly limited-edition palette offers six brand new shades that are exclusive to this set. This palette contains Urban Decay travel Perversion Mascara, a travel 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Stag, a full-size Naked Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss in Sesso, five gorgeous eyeshadows, one bronzer, one blush, an one lovely all over highlight perfect for face or eyes.

I really love the range of products in this set, Urban Decay did a wonderful job formulating products that work well together but are also incredible individually! It's so amazing how versatile this palette is, it's easy to create a simple day time look but also easy to transform any look for a night out!   

I'm totally in love with the "metallized" rose-gold packaging. It's an amazing size for travel. It also feels sturdy; it would hold up really well in a travel makeup bag! While it does collect figure prints the metal packaging does allow for easy clean up. 

A little thing that some might not notice but us beauty bloggers love is that Urban Dacay has but the name of the eyeshadows on the back of the packaging!! While I do prefer the names right next to, below, or above the products, I am extremely happy the names are on the packaging itself! This makes it a million times easier when filming tutorials or talking about a specific shade. 

Speaking of specific shades, on to the eyeshadows! These eyeshadows are lovely and I would really expect nothing less from Urban Decay. These swatches are done with a prime (I always recommend using an eyeshadow base), and the photo is taken in natural daylight. As you can see the shades are extremely pigmented. 

From the Ulta website!!"What's inside:Eyeshadow: Dive (metallic rose w/golden micro-shimmer), Fix (soft taupe matte), Resist (medium metallic taupe), Dare (medium brown matte), Stun (metallic bronze w/light gold micro-shimmer)"

I find Dive is a gorgeous rosy pink that applies best just using my ring finger and placing it right on the lid. Fix and Dare are must-haves for any palette, they are those perfect matte shades that help blend everything out. Resist if probably my second favorite shade, it reminds me a little bit of MAC Satin Taupe (one of my all time favorite eyeshadows) and I love placing this one of the outer portion of the lid and blending it toward the crease. Additionally I have swept Resist all over the lid and it works wonderfully for a one shadow look! Stun is beautiful and bronze, I love the shimmer in this shade and I think it adds a lovely mix to the palette!   

Urban Decay Perversion Mascara is extremely black, makes the lashes look amazing, almost false looking but still perfect for everyday but I do notice a little bit of smudging on my lower lash line later in the day. 

To be honest if there is one Urban Decay Product I'm not such a fan of it is their 24/7 Glide On Liners. While they are pigmented and apply really well they just do not last on my eyes. They end up smudging and just do not hold up throughout the day. I do love that they added in Stag instead of a black liner. This liner is great for smoking out any look! 

What a perfect gloss to add into this set!! I love this rosy pink hue! It compliments all of the other products in this palette so well! It is a little bit sticky but not so sticky were it's distracting or sticks your lips together. The formula is lovely, it's smooth, applies easily, and I love that there is no chunky glitter!  

Wonderful bronzer and blush duo in this palette. The blush is a soft satin pink that is pigmented so don't go to heavy at first, build it up to your desired intensity. This bronzer works perfect for adding an all over warmth to my skin. I don't notice any muddy look at all throughout the day. It's easy to blend and would work best for olive skin tones. 5050, the all over highlight works as a bonus eyeshadow and a soft cheek bone highlight. 

All together I have greatly enjoyed this palette! I really recommend it to anyone who is looking to try out a wide range of Urban Decay products for the first time or if you are like me, already obsessed with the NAKED range from Urban Decay and constantly need more in your life! :)

It's not often us beauty addicts get that great sale on our favorite beauty items right now until Nov. 10th Sephora is offering 20% for their Rouge members with the code GIFTROUGE. This is a great time to order your beauty necessities or heck treat yourself to a luxury gift! I did a little bit of both this year ;) 

What I picked up during the sale! 

Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash

Soap & Glory Hand Food™ Hand Cream

Rosebud Perfume Co.Rosebud Salve

Bite Beauty Best Bite Remix

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette

I also ordered online the Tarte Pigment of Imagination Deluxe Cheek Set

One necessity of mine is the Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash. My skin in normally dry/combo, it tends to get more dry in the colder months. The Origins Checks and Balances keeps my skin balances while also helping to combat my breakouts. In hopes of finding something less expensive I've recently tried the Neutrogena® Naturals Purifying Cream Cleanser. Unfortunately, it did not work for my skin. It did not remove excess makeup and caused breakouts. I'm back to my true love, Origins Checks and Balances.

Second must have is Soap & Glory Hand Food™ Hand Cream. It is a little on the pricey side but the scent is really great and in the cold months it's a life saver for my dry hands!

Another necessity purchased during the sale was Rosebud Perfume Co.Rosebud Salve. This is literally my BFF! It's wonderful for moisturizing lips and can also be used to keep your cuticles looking healthy and hydrated! Personally, I recommend the tin over the tube, better value for money.

On to the fun stuff ;) the wants! Recently I've experiences the pure luxury of Bite Beauty lip products. This  Bite Beauty Best Bite Remix set is perfect. It is $25 and comes with "- 4 x 0.05 oz Limited-edition high pigment pencil in Sablé (nude), Pomegranate (rose berry), Rhubard (plum rose), Winterberry (festive Raspberry red)." 

Bite Beauty lip products feel nourishing on the lips and are extremely pigmented. These four shades offer a great range of shades. This would be a perfect gift this holiday season for a friend, sister, mother, or lets be honest yourself! Another idea is to buy a couple different holiday sets and put a couple stockings together for friends. 

Red is a great shade year round but it's even better around the holiday time! This set offers a gorgeous rich red that's easy to apply and packs a great punch! I love that there are two shades that would be great for everyday and two that are a little more daring. 

Let me know your favorite shade in the comments! :) if you have never tried Bite Beauty this is a great way to start but you've been warned they are amazing and you will want more ;)

My big splurge item of this trip was the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette. Last year I purchased the Ambient Lighting Palette and I'm still so in love I knew if I didn't get this I'd regret it! I'm extremely excited to play with the shades more and let you know what I think! 

  

This palette retails for $58 and offers "-3 x 0.11 oz Cheek shades in Luminous Flush (champagne rose), Incandescent Electra (cool peach), Mood Exposure (soft plum)"

I am extremely excited about everything I picked up during this sale. Have you picked anything up? :)

I am extremely impressed with this collection. Every product is pigmented, beautiful, and I mean just look at the packaging. 

MAC Maleficent Beauty Powder- Natural 

Disney is one of my many obsessions so I needed at least on this from this collection with the Disney marking. This beauty powder is extremely sheer and I am going to have to play around with is a bit more before coming to a conclusion. I do really like the packaging!
