Betsey Johnson Too Too Perfume

 The best and worst thing about Sephora is that with every purchase you receive SAMPLES!! I love samples ( I mean really who doesn't?). I received a sample of Betsey Johnson's perfume Too Too.



This perfume is described as :

Introducing Betsey Johnson's TooToo. A scentsational new fragrance from Betsey Johnson that's TooToo fabulous! Sparkling and juicy passionfruit and ginger dance with a twirling bouquet of jasmine, tuberose and rose, Betsey's new favourite blend!

I'm not sure if that's what I'm smelling but to me its delicious!! with the first spritz it smelled a little like alcohol but after a few seconds this amazing smell just wafts off my chest and OMG I just want to hold my shirt to my nose all day long! Its fruity and floral and just my fav! (at the moment)


Well I just had to...


...and yes my perfume is wearing its very own tutu!

Urban Decay Naked Palette

OK lets start with Urban Decays NAKED palette.
My wonderful hubby ventured into Sephora on his own and without me even mentioning it he picked out the naked palette for me for Christmas! Lets face it he is a guys guy and has no interest in makeup. Yet what a fantastic surprise!! I had been watching Sam Scheurman on YouTube ( he know how much I love her thanks Sam :) She was talking up the Naked palette and he overheard her review and stumbled his way through a busy Sephora (only one in our city) and found it for me. Before the naked palette I honestly only ever owned drugstore makeup. I repeatedly thanked him but told him he had made a huge mistake!! It has now sparked a love for high end makeup! lol

The Naked palette comes with a great medium flat shader brush, a sample size Urban Decay Primer Potion, and 12 highly pigmented silky smooth neutral eyeshadows. There are 2 matte colours and 10 shimmer/glittery colours.






From left to right they are:
Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Dark Horse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep, Gunmetal.


The Brush that comes with this palette is a flat shader brush which is great for packing colour all over the lid and for adding highlight under the brow bone.

The primer that comes with this palette is the first primer I have used. Its a sheer flesh toned primer which definitely works great. I will be repurchasing this primer when my sample runs out. I know that they have changed the packaging to a squeeze tube. It come with a doe foot applicator but Ill have to cut the top off to get every last drop out. Definitely helps keep your shadows from creasing ( as I have oily lids), helps the colours pop and keeps my shadows on from morning until I wash it off before bed.

Lets get Started :) A little about me.

Well I thought I would start off my blog with something I am interested in and that is makeup. I will have some hauls and reviews for the next little while to get this blog up and going :) So to start....a little about me...I am a 28 year old mom of 2 boys. Ages 6 and 4. I am currently a stay home. Most things in my life are "all boy" so when I get the chance I like to be girly. I am 28 and my skin is showing my age. I have very oily skin. I don't have alot of acne but i do have some pigmentation problems along with some scaring. I love makeup. I have since I was a little girl. My mother was never one to wear makeup. She wore a little blush and lipstick on very special occasions. I think my love of makeup started with my grandma(Nanny). She was always a well put together woman who I looked up to. When she would come for a visit she would bring as much makeup as she could fit in her bags. She would put makeup on me so beautifully and I would put it on her ( not so beautifully lol but she wouldn't mind). She put my hair in rag curls and let me wear her perfume and always brought me samples of mary kay and avon and department store counters. As I dont have daughters or sisters what better place to start sharing my opinion of products than with anyone who will look! lol
