Urban Decay NAKED CYBER

 CYBER is the brand new Naked palette on the block from Urban Decay and it’s a real beauty.

Inspired by future tech, cyberspace, and virtual reality, this 100% vegan palette is an out-of-this-world selection of shimmering, colour changing shades in a range of different finishes to dazzle and delight.

 

Featuring a collection of icy-toned blues and lilacs, paired with sunset-inspired peaches and pinks plus the most sumptuous, scorched reds, it really is stunning to behold.

It boasts satin, matte, shimmer, metallic, glitter, and even duo chrome finishes, all featuring the same familiar velvety, ultra-blendable Naked eyeshadow formula that we so know and love. 

 

Its stunning duo chrome shadows contain two contrasting, reflective pigments that create a shade-shifting effect in the light, a bit like getting two shadows in one.

Housed in a spectacular, iridescent NAKED palette with silver detailing, a generous mirror and a dual ended vegan brush, simply lift the lid to reveal it in all its sensational glory.

 

Inside, you’ll find the following shades;

 

A.I.:   A moderately warm-toned, light beige with a satin finish

META DATA: A moderately warm-toned, light beige with a metallic finish

VIRTUAL: A very warm-toned, very light orange with a matte finish.

ELECTRODE:  A very warm-toned, light-medium orange with a sparkle finish.

 

CYBERSPACE: A very warm-toned, light sand duochrome with a pearl finish.

GADGET: moderately warm-toned, medium peach with a matte finish.

CALL I.T.: A very warm-toned, light-medium pink with a frost finish.

NOT A BOT: A moderately warm-toned, very light pink with a sparkle finish.

 

STATIC: A very cool-toned, light silver with a sparkle finish

Y3K: A moderately warm-toned, light-medium browny duochrome with a metallic finish.

OVERRIDE: A moderately warm-toned, medium-dark red with a sparkle finish

BYTE:  moderately warm-toned, dark orange with a matte finish.

 

Silky soft, rich and finely milled these shadows are every bit as stunning on your skin as they look in the palette.

Creamy and highly pigmented, they glide across your skin beautifully and blend to perfection, either using your fingers or the brush which comes with the set.

 

Boasting serious longevity, even then sparkily,shimmery shades won’t transfer or budge throughout the day and boy do they catch the light for a truly dazzling look.

These shades are so far apart from the traditional NAKED palettes and I love it! 

 

Don’t get me wrong, neutrals, nudes and smoky eyes will never go out of fashion but sometimes, you want something a little more fun and spectacular and this palette certainly delivers.

Perfect for the forthcoming party season, you’ll be the belle of every ball with such luminous, captivating shades.

 

Urban Decay’s NAKED CYBER is available now and costs £45.

Lancôme Monsieur Big 12 Shades of Love Eyeshadow Palette

Celebrate love with the stunning Lancôme Monsieur Big Eyeshadow Palette, 12 Shades of Love.

Featuring a collection of twelve beautiful metallic and matte eyeshadows housed within the most gorgeous palette I defy you not to fall in love with it.

Divided into three sets of 4 shadows, the palette allows you to create a trio of different make up looks of varying intensities.

But first, can we take a moment to appreciate the beautiful look of the palette itself.

‘Love’ is the key element in this palette so naturally, the palette itself is shaped as a giant, iridescent, luminous pink heart. 

Softly curved and in the prettiest hot pink hue with ’12 shades of Love’ romantically scrawled down the side, the palette invites you to discover the hidden treasures so preciously captured within.

Lift the mirrored lid to reveal the luxurious, beautiful shadows within in an array of textures and shade intensities.

Featuring three separate chambers, the heart is filled with eyeshadows designed to take you from the moment of crush, through to the first date and then to the first date night.

As you may expect, the shadows gradually increase in hue and potency depending on whether you’re getting ready for the Big Crush, Big Date or Big Night, with the Big Night chamber featuring the most highly pigmented, bold shades.

 

Each of the four shadows with their subsection are labelled as either Base, Corner, Highlight or Liner to offer helpful tips on how to achieve the best, most captivating looks with the shadows available.

Each shadow is luxuriously soft, finely milled and wonderfully pigmented.

 

Creamy, rich and smooth in texture, their decadent formula allows for easy, precise application and an undetectable feel.

Buildable and long lasting, the shadows don’t flake or transfer after application, nor do they melt or lose their intensity throughout the day.

Warm pinks, soft nudes and comforting earthy tones compliment one another, allowing you to create endless beautifully romantic, feminine looks.

Though helpfully categorised for you, you can of course choose to mix and match your own shades to create your own stunning look, though I really like that Lancôme have given you a helping hand to point you in the right direction.

Hey, some of us need all the help we can get after all!

Now you’ve fallen in love too, here’s the all-important info on where you can get your hands on this enchanting palette.

The Lancôme Monsieur Big Eyeshadow Palette 12 Shades of Love is available now from Lancôme and costs £38.

How beautiful is the new Crystal Power Eyeshadow Palette from essence (£5.99)!

Featuring 9 crystal inspired shades in a range of different textures its never been easier to create a mystical and enchanting look.

Shades range from an indulgent rosé gold to a cool teal and shimmering white for eyelids that glimmer like crystals.

The colours within the crystal palette are predominately earthy tones, as you may expect from a collection that is representing jewels of the earth.

Of the 9 shades, 8 are shimmery.

Never Give Up is a muted soft bronze while Sparkle All Day is a warm, yellow gold.

Good Vibes Only is a deep green with yellow undertones while Reach For The Stars offers a true teal.

I’ve got the power is a gorgeous deep muddy purple while Believe in Miracles offers a sparkling white, luminous sheen.

Silky soft in texture and surprisingly pigmented, the powders are finely milled and glide across your lids.

The only shades I found that I had to work a little harder with to achieve strong pigment was Reach for The Stars and Believe in Miracles, but that’s often the case with some sparkily shadows due to their glittery make up.

Beautiful and long lasting, the palette features plenty of shades to compliment one another meaning there’s a whole variety of different looks you can achieve from just these 9 shades.

Priced at under six quid it is a real bargain for what I consider to be quality shadows.
