Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani Blush Palette

안녕! Before the actual post about the palette, I wanted to share some personal thoughts. Those who don't want to read that, can just scroll past this.

I said I would work on more posts and I did sit down and wanted to write, but then I just didn't find the motivation. Most of the photos I have saved for future posts, are for beauty related reviews and so on. But the more I thought about it, the more I'm dissatisfied with the direction this blog is going into. I still want to continue posting these beauty related things but I also want to include short personal posts like OOTD and stuff like that, since I do not intent to be a beauty blogger but want to give this a personal note. I do enjoy writing these reviews, since I'm also always looking for some, when I want to buy products and I hope that mine can help people. I thought about taking more pictures when I'm going places or just meeting friends and then also posting about them, including nice places to eat at and just my life in general. So, if you have any thoughts or suggestions, you can share them in the comments below

I wouldn't even have known about this collaboration and the palette, if it wouldn't have been for my friend who works at a cosmetics shop.
She kept on telling me about it and how she never used blushes before but started now because of this palette and how well the colors compliment pale skin like ours.

The palette has a really nice design, at least in my opinion, with the golden color and UD's logo on top of it. The dots give it a nice touch and I think it looks more high-quality this way, than when it would have been fully gold. It looks really simple but elegant. 

I really like that there is a big mirror on the top part of the palette. The Naked palettes also have mirrors but they are really small and you can only see a little bit of your face, which would be enough to apply makeup to your eyes, but not to see the full outcome of your makeup. You can use this palette while applying makeup and don't need another mirror, which I do need when I use the Naked palettes.

It's really hard to capture the actual color of these blushes on pictures. >_<

But you have everything you need in this palette. Two of these are perfect to contour and highlight your face. You also have an orangish tone, which you can use as a coral blush and the usual pink blushes. 

I really like that these blushes are very pigmented. Other than my MAC blush, the others are barely pigmented and I need a lot of product to see the color on my cheeks. For this palette, I just had to lightly dab my brush into the product and I didn't need any more. 

I'm still playing around with this and will add it to my post, if my thoughts have changed.
But for now I think that the price for 6 colors of this quality is a good deal.
You should definitely check it out yourself!
