Urban Decay Naked Flushed

If you read my previous post about Urban Decay Naked 3 you will know I bought this Flushed palette at the same time from Tmart 
Which means that this palette too is a fake (don't tell anyone shhh) 
As you can see from the pic the outer case is pretty bad, the paint is already coming off it, the case doesn't really bother me too much it's the product inside that I am interested in 
It's basically a contour palette, with a larger matte bronzer, a pretty pink shimmery hi-lighter and a slightly shimmery pink blush 
The bronzer is really light so I found I had to use quite a bit of this or mix it with one of my own darker ones, especially to contour you need a darker shade, the blush is a nice pink but hard enough to blend if you don't have a good blush brush 
The hi lighter however is one of the best I've used, you can see the dent I've made in the hi lighter I have been using it so much! 
This is a pic from the weekend I used this palette (no flash) 
You can see the hi light down the bridge of my nose, and the blush but the bronzer disappears, if you know me you know I love a good bronzer 
This palette cost €6 on tmart so really wasn't that much and again free post 
I would probably repurchase it purely for the hi lighter 
Unlike the real flushed palettes this has no name, you can only get one or two different shades 
Have you tried the real naked flushed palette, what did you think of it? Have you used anything similar?

Urban Decay Naked 3


Everyone in the beauty world went mad when Naked 3 was launched! 
I don't have an outlet that sells anything like that around me so I decided to look for it online 
I previously purchased the Naked Basics and the Naked 2 off Tmart.com last year 
Personally I don't like the price of Urban Decay I know some say it's a great price but I don't like the thoughts of spending €40 or more on 12 eyeshadow that I might not like or use! 
Now I have to include in this post my Urban Decay Palette is a fake, it didn't come in a box like the two other palettes but I love it all the same! Tmart have some of the best fakes ever you wouldn't even know they were not the real thing, the pigmentation is amazing, they never hurt my eyes or anyone else's I have ever used them on and they stay and look great 
I always get obsessed with one or two colours in a palette, I use them until they are gone and then I'm basically leaving the palette in a drawer somewhere until I come across a new one that's one of the reasons I wouldn't pay the €40 for the real thing for me there's no point! 
I spent €7 on this with free post 
It did take around 4/5 weeks to come as it's from china but I think it's worth the wait
Now on to the colours 
The pigment on the matte shades aren't really great on camera, they aren't as bright as the shimmer ones but to be honest I don't use a lot of matte shadow anyway 
From left to right (or top to bottom ;) ) 
Strange - very pale cream colour 
Dust - one of my faves a gorgeous light shimmery pink
Burnout - another fave a darker shimmer pink 
Limit - a very light taupe colour
Buzz - the darkest pink in the box 
Trick - a lovely gold 
Nooner - a darker taupe
Liar - another fave, a pinkish brown
Factory - a shimmer brown
Mugshot - darker shimmer brown
Dark side- very dark brown I didn't find as much shimmer with this one but very bad fallout
Black heart- I love this colour it's almost a purple black really pretty on but again some fallout 

I received this palette last week and I absolutely love it, it has a lot of pink shadows which I love I think pink shadow suits everyone, but some people are afraid to try it 
I also bought the Urban Decay naked flushed palette which is basically a contour palette, I will review this in my next post :) 
I would recommend buying this from tmart.com first even if you want the real thing it's great to try it out and even have it as a back up, let's face it all the naked palettes look gorgeous on anyone's dresser/makeup table :) 
Have you tried naked 3 yet?

Maqui Berry Capsules for Weight Loss

I have heard so much lately about all of these berries and teas that help you to loose weight, I am so bad at sticking to a diet and I always go for the quick fix only to put weight back on just as quick as I lost it 
I am not saying I am huge but there are certain areas like most girls that I would like to slim down so I decided to look up amazon.co.uk and came across these magical little berries 
I found the capsules for around €12 for 60 excluding p&p I thought it was a pretty good deal

I ordered these Friday 1st august and I received them the following Wednesday which was great for amazon, I started taking them on the Thursday morning and even though I've not seen a difference in my weight yet I can feel a difference in myself, my skin is slightly clearer, and I'm not half as tired as I normally am 
You do get extremely thirsty while taking these so I don't know if the things I've noticed in myself are down to the berries or all the water I've been drinking 
THE SMELL
They actually have a lovely fruity smell so compared to most things that offer great results it's a big bonus
They have absolutely no taste either so another thumbs up from me there 
The benefits of Maqui Berries 
The Maqui berry is known to have the most antioxidants than any other berry 
Antioxidants are great for cleansing your body and removing those nasty toxins that get stored in your body, 

The idea with the Maqui berries is they give you energy on a regular basis so you are more active, they naturally increase your metabolism so they help your body burn more calories instead of storing them in your body

The only bad things I've found from taking these is they have a slight laxative effect which is understandable as you are cleansing your body (not half as bad as the slendertox tea or boo tea) which tends to kick in at night or late evening when you have your last meal taken 

Has anyone tried these? 

If love to hear any stories on these or if you've tried any of the slimming teas?

My new blog

Hi everyone! I have just set this new blog up as I have missed blogging so much. My previous blog was itsonlymexox.wordpress.com and I lost my password and email address so I've basically lost all my posts, it's quite sickening.

Hopefully I will get on well with this one!

I can't wait to get stuck in, as you can see I don't have anything on it right now so it's a great excuse to think of new posts :)
