My debut to the blogging world

Hello everyone!

My name is Alyssa, and I am brand new to the blogging world.

This is me :)

I am a College student who has a passion for anything beautiful. The pursuit of this passion is relatively new though. I could never afford to splurge on what I lusted after. There were always more important things to pay for, such as rent and food (haha). Now that I find myself with a new job, I can afford to give in to my indulgences now and then. Since this is my first ever blog post I may as well jump in with both feet.

I live in an area where getting to a mall is no easy feat. The closest thing to a mall is about 45 minutes away from my house. And that is on a good day without any weather hazards. So needless to say, I do almost all of my shopping online. When I was browsing through the Sephora website I noticed a new Too Faced palette that I had to check out. It is called Natural at Night. It is a beautiful array of champagne looking colors mixed with browns to give any look depth. I ordered it from Ulta and I will have to do a review on that later. What made me interested in the first place is that I already have the Too Faced Natural Eye palette.

Too Faced Natural Eye:

Heaven-matte vanilla

Silk Teddy- shimmer pink champagne

Nude Beach- gold glitter pink champagne

Velvet Revolver- matte tawny

Push up- shimmer gold/brown

Honey Pot- shimmer gold

Sexpresso- matte dark brown

Erotica- dark brown with gold shimmer

Cocoa Puff- brown with gold shimmer

It also contains three how-to cards for creating day, classic and fashion inspired looks.

What I noticed about this palette is that it, and the Urban Decay Naked palette are strikingly similar.

Urban Decay Naked palette

Virgin-frosted white/vanilla

Sin-(my favorite color) frosty champagne

Naked- matte tawny

Sidecar- glitter tan

Buck- matte brown

Half baked-(other fav) shimmer gold

Smog- brown with gold shimmer

Darkhorse-taupe brown with gold flake

Toasted- pinky taupe

Hustle- purple taupe

Creep-almost black grey with small silver glitter

Gunmetal- steel grey with chunky silver glitter

There are different pros and cons when it comes to each product.

The Naked palette comes with 12 colors as well as a brush and sample of their infamous Eye Shadow Primer Potion. The brush is a nice quality but the bristles are a little stiff. The packaging is felt which tends to gather lint. It is also a magnetic closure which I personally really like. Then inside there is a small mirror for if you with to bring it on the go. However it is $50 which is pretty expensive for eye shadow.

The Natural Eye palette comes with 9 colors and 3 how-to cards. It also is a magnetic closure. However the satin tab that was attached to make opening it easier fell out of mine. And there is no mirror so you will need to bring a separate one if you wish to take it with you. What makes me want to jump and shout about this product is that it is only $36!!!

The price difference is striking seeing as there are many similar colors and is $14 less than the Urban Decay one. The Too Faced line also has A LOT of different palettes to choose from. The Urban Decay only has two naked palettes to choose from.

If you are looking for a nice product but can't spend $50 at the moment, reach for this Too Faced Natural Eye Palette. With it you will be able to recreate almost any look made with the Naked palette.

Have a wonderful day :)

Thank you for taking an interest
