Urban Decay Book of Shadows IV - £36.80
Is this not just the prettiest thing? Not only do you get 16 colours (10 of which are new), you also get a mascara, liquid eyeliner and a primer potion! Now, I know there are very much divided opinions on the technological side of this palette; there is a shelf to rest your smartphone and a speaker that you can plug into it so you can watch tutorial videos. I do agree that I'm a little annoyed about the increased price from the Book of Shadows 3, with just the addition of a speaker, however I think it's a good idea and I can't wait to try it. It currently has 20% off at Debenhams, bringing the price to £36.80 so I'm hoping to order it soon!
Benefit Confessions of a Concealaholic kit - £28.50
I think this palette looks great, and it includes:
- That Girl face primer
- Erase Paste concealer
-Boi-ing
- 2 concealer shades
- Lemon aid colour correcting eye primer
- Eye bright instant eye brightener
- 2 brushes
- Step-by-step guides
While £28.50 is very expensive, when you break it down into all the products you recieve, it's really not that much. Still, I'll have to wait till my birthday or Christmas to get this I think.
Urban Decay Naked Palette - £32.40
Now if you're into makeup, I'm sure you've at least heard of this palette! I've wanted this for years but at £32.40, I really need to justify buying it! In fact, it's normally £36, it's only less because Debenhams have a 20% off sale at the moment. So I ca't decide whether to buy the Naked palette or the Book of Shadows IV now, as a treat for when I'm finished with my exams. Comment below and tell me your favourite!
Urban Decay Cream Eyeshadows
The shade above is Suburbia, and I'd also like the shade 'Rehab', which is a darker brown. The reason I'd really like this is that I found them on www.cosmeticsfairy.co.uk for just £3.49! How can this be?! I'm a little wary, because I feel like they're just too cheap, so if you have experience with the site please let me know.
Anyway, sorry for the Urban Decay theme in this. Also, I'd just like to clarify that the majority of my makeup is from MUA, Rimmel, Natural Collection, etc. I do not usually buy high end products like these, hence why they're on my "Wishlist" and not my "Bought" list :)
Stay beautiful girls,

Oh it really is a difficult choice between Naked and Book of Shadows IV. The book one offers more variety, but somehow I'm swayed towards Naked- it just looks so professional and I think the shades are gorgeous yet understated and would suit anyone. The concealaholic Kit looks fab- I've wanted to try Erase Paste for a while as I've heard such great things about it! Also, I've never heard of cosmeticsfairy, but I searched it and it seems fine. Also, I think the price is fine too as Amazon (not really beauty but I think they're pretty reliable) are selling the same thing for £2.99, so I would say cosmeticsfairy is safe. Cool wishlist, and your blog is really cool too, I love the design!

Hi! :) Yeah, I'm still undecided because I like the Naked palette as I feel I'd get more usage from the colours. But for the price it is (£32-36), I feel like you get more from the Book of Shadows IV; more colour, primer, eyeliner, mascara etc... I'm so undecided, my mum said she'll buy me one to say well done after my GCSEs so I may just tell her to surprise me, and I'll buy the other one haha! I'm going to America in summer, so I'll be stocking up on makeup then haha! And ooh, I'll look on Amazon too then, thanks! And thank you so much, my blogs not much yet but it'll get there!
