i bought it today too! i absolutely love it. i had tried it out throughout last week because i was given some rather generous samples of the foundation. it lasts a long time on the skin and the coverage is perfect. and i do agree that using a brush is better than fingers. my vl aqua works better when applied with fingers but this is a very different formula

NARS spring collection is up on the UK website now, in case anyone's interested. Will be in London later this week so I might pop by a counter and have quick look in person. (I'm on a bit of a no-buy mission right now though, so will have to take along plenty of willpower!)

I want all lip products from the NARS collection! I'm going to wait for Asos to get the collection though!

 

[Anitacska]

Good luck Anita! I've lost my willpower somewhere at a beauty counter years ago, lol. I am trying to be very good too, I do like the look of a few Nars items, but do I really need them? I will try to resist as much as possible.

i'm not even looking at the nars collection because i know i will want some of it!!

 

[banana1234]

i'll stick to the original vitalumiere then, i may consider it in the summer when my skin isnt so dry, what colour did you get matched to?

Thanks! I haven't been entirely good though, somehow since last weekend I managed to acquire the Stila Kitten All Over Shimmer duo

In case you're looking for an alternative to the Dior blush, there's quite a few of the supposed "self-adjusting" blushes out now, there is one in the NARS spring collection, and Stila has their Custom Colour Blush too (link).

Yes, the NARS lip products do look lovely, especially Bilbao and Mexican Rose. I'm kinda tempted to get Valparaiso just because I love the city it's named after

Thanks! I'm skipping the Dior one now and going to check out the Stila one next time I'm in Boots!

I love Bilbao and Mexicon Rose too! I just want Valparaiso because I don't have anything like it and if it turns out too vampy than I suppose I can use it as a stain
I was watching Temptalias NARS video and was thinking that I could buy the trio and use it as a blush palette! 2 of the 3 look pigmented enough and the lighter shade can probably be used as a highlighter!

I was just looking through my stash and going through all the products I've been disappointed with, so far I have 18 which I suppose is not too bad but the money that I've wasted on them does seem bad! I'm going to try and use them though, just so it's not a complete waste of money!

No problem. I've swatched the Stila ones before and they are quite pigmented although I have to say I did not really see the colours change at all. Both lovely colours though, nice and bright for spring.

how has everyone been enjoying their naked 2 palettes? i must say i didnt think i'd like it as much as i do, but i absolutely adore the colour snakebite, something about it is just perfect for me, it looks amazing on its own, all over my lid and blended at the edges, just that, and some black eyeliner on my inner rims and mascara and it looks totally polished.. i hope urban decay bring out this colour in pan form cos i'm going to run out of it soon!

i didnt think for one minute i would love it as much as naked 1 but i do, i hope they do a naked 3, i want to see what they come up with! i think some more matte textures and maybe some more greys would be interesting

i like the naked gloss but i wish they'd put an eyeliner in it instead of the brush, i liked the double one from the first palette and i've nearly finished that, i'm waiting for perversion to come to us lot in the UK

If UD makes a Naked 3 with only matte/satin textures I would definitely snap it up! The reason I don't plan on purchasing Naked 2 is because it seems to contain quite a few frosts and I try to avoid frost finishes like a plague! There's only 2 mattes if I remember correctly.. but I have yet to see it in person (there's only one UD counter here unfortunately)

 

[Anitacska]

Yeah, I like my Naked2 Palette, especially the right side. My favourites are Suspect, Pistol, Verve and YDK, which is actually quite funny because I'm pretty sure I'd owned them all already, makes you wonder if I actually needed it, but there you go. I quite like the gloss and not too fussed about the lack of UDPP or eyeliner, I have so many of them already anyway. At least the gloss is minty/sweet rather than the disgusting burnt caramel smelling/tasting crap that is the Pocket Rocket lipgloss. Bleugh.

I won't be buying the Naked 2 palette, as I think I already have enough neutrals in the original Naked palette plus my MAC shadows. I'm definitely getting Perversion when it arrives here, though.

I also much prefer the minty gloss taste to the burnt caramel, which to be honest sometimes makes me feel a bit nauseous.

Me too! I use it and Bourban almost every day!

I have one UD l/s and I absolutely hate the smell/taste of it, I can't describe it but I can't stand using the l/s even though the scent/taste goes after a few min, which is a shame as I really love the shade, I think it's called Jailbait

Jailbait is one of my favourite UD lipsticks, along with Hotpants and Trainwreck. I agree they don't smell/taste so good at first, though. I love the packaging, with the little dagger

I have finally fallen in love with my Naked 1 palette this weekend, I have up till now struggled finding it a bit on the warm side and struggling to make it work apart from my favourite shade sin, which i already owned and was my go to daily wash of colour. However this weekend I mixed it up a bit and have now worn the palette in 3 different ways on 3 consequtive days! It looks particularly good for a natural polished look that isn't to bold, I think I had been over using the dark shades before like buck, which pull a little orange on me, now that has become a powder eyeliner and it looks so much better!

I loved it so much that I was very naughty and ordered Naked 2 this weekend.

I am particularly enjoying virgin as a highlight - not to OTT and naked as a crease colour for work today, enough definition and the matte texture tames the look down!

Very happy little camper today - can't wait to actually receive naked 2, I keep drawling over Anitacska's blog photos at the momenr!

 

[Anitacska]

I have one UD lipstick (Naked I think?) and again I loathe the smell. I'm also not a big fan of the dagger, you can't stand the blooming thing up! Also if it broke off, you had no way of opening the lipstick.
