January Favourites, Superbowl 2015 predictions - Saturday's with Payton

Hey!

It's Saturday and it's not just any Saturday but it is the last day of January! PLUS it is the day before the Super Bowl! Anyway all this week I have been thinking about what to post today and I had two ideas, my January Favorites and the Super Bowl (I know that the Super Bowl doesn't happen until tomorrow but its the same weekend!) So I thought that I would put my two ideas into one post, so here it goes!

Firstly, here is my January Favorites as many of these products have been life-savers and just amazing this month!

These are my favorite beauty products:

Hair - Batiste dry shampoo (£2.99) - this product is not just amazing when your hair gets greasy but when you want a little more volume in your hair it works a treat! plus when you have the product in my hair feels so soft which is an added bonus! 

Make-up -  Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 Palette (£22 or $29) - I just love this product, I have had this product for just over a month and it works so well with my skin tone and my other makeup products so that it is so easy to create many different looks effortlessly! If you want to check out my full review on this product then here is the link: http://sevensweethearts.blogspot.com/2015/01/urban-decay-naked-basics-2-palette.html

Skin Care - Tea Tree and Witch Hazel skin care line from boots - The products I have are  the Night Treatment Gel (£2.99), the Shine Control Day Moisturizer(£3.59), Exfoliating Face Scrub(£3.79) and the Face Wash(£3.59). All of these products are amazing to use, they help keep my skin soft and smooth and help get rid of spots plus they do not make me break out as bad also a massive bonus is that they are pretty cheap to buy! If you want a separate review on these products, comment below!

Here is a list of my other favorites from this month:

Favorite song - This is home by Bryan Lanning -This is Bryan's first ever single and it is absolutely amazing and it brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it, plus the music video to go with this song is so beautiful, check out this song here as I know he would love you to buy it : https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/this-is-home-single/id958740203

Favorite TV Show - It has to be Broadchurch! I just love this show so much, I never thought that I would like a Crime-Drama show ever but I do! I will be giving you a Series 1 review when I have finished watching it, which will hopefully be soon! So stay tuned!

Favorite game/app - This month my favorite game/app has a tie as I cannot decide my favorite, my favourites are crossy road and 2048 plus

Favorite food - This has to be Honey Cherios! Don't ask why, just eat them and you will find out why I love them!

So those were my favorites from this month, some of them were a bit random but you know, you just have to live life on the edge sometimes!

Anyway I would have added the Super Bowl into my favorites this month however, this year the Super Bowl is on February 1st, 2015 so technically I couldn't add it in here but if I could, I would! Anyway the Super Bowl this year is between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona! These are the times that I wished I lived in the USA but that's okay, you are probably thinking it is a little strange for an English Girl to like American Football, but I have to thank the TV show Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making The Team for opening my eyes to this sport! Anyway I can't really say much at this time of posting as the game hasn't happened yet so I am going to leave you with my predictions: I think that it will be a close game between these two teams which make it hard for me to pick, but I will go with the Seattle Seahawks, seeing as it is the second year in a row that they are in the Super Bowl final, we will see how the game plays out and who will win!
Although I cannot wait to watch Katy Perry's halftime show performance because it will be amazing!

Anyway, thank you for reading this weeks post, I hope you have enjoyed reading my favorite products this month and I definitely recommend every single one of them to you!

See you next Saturday!

Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 Palette Review - Saturdays with Payton

Hey!

It is Saturday, which means today’s host is me…. Payton! So I hope that you all have had a wonderful week, mine has been a little crazy with getting back into the swing of school and working but thank goodness that it is finally the weekend! Anyway this week I wanted to give you a review on one of my favourite products, so let’s get into the review!

Today’s product that I will be reviewing is the Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 palette! Now I can tell you now that it will not just contain my review on the Naked Basics 2 palette but it will be a comparison to the Naked Basics 1 palette.

Firstly, if you know me I am absolutely in love with makeup and if you ask any girl what their favourite type of makeup is they could say, lipstick, blush, bronzer, concealer, mascara, eyeliner etc., my answer to that question is definitely eye shadow. I cannot live without eye shadow it is basically perfect!

So one of my favourite ranges of eye shadow is Urban Decay’s whole range of eye shadow but specific the Naked range, now I am going to admit that I do not own all of the different palette’s in the Naked range however that is because these are some of the first palettes that I picked up, and I straight away fell in love with them!

The Naked Basics 2 palette is the newest palette to the collection which was released in the second half of 2014. It contains 6 different shades and they are:
Skimp (pale nude satin)
Stark (nude-pink matte)
Frisk (warm grey matte)
Cover (muted red-brown matte)
Primal (muted brown matte)
Undone (deep, smoky, brown matte)

As you can see these shades are more grey oriented and this makes it really fun to play around with the Smokey eye! I could not tell you which shade is my favourite as they all work so well for any look, they are also work really well together with the Naked Basics 1 palette which I find is heaven!

To help you compare this new palette to its predecessor these are the shades contained in the naked Basics 1 palette:

Venus (white with a semi matte finish)

Foxy (yellow toned ivory with a matte finish)

Walk Of Shame (W.O.S) (Pale cream with pink tones)

Naked 2 (pink nude with grey tones)

Faint (Matte Light brown with red and charcoal undertones)

Crave (Deep, dark brown that is almost black)

What I love about the Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 palette along with the Naked Basics 1 palette is the size and the practicality of them. The size is wonderful as the palette can be taken anywhere as it is so small and lightweight so it can be easy to put in your handbag and you’re away! What I mean with the practicality of the palettes are that they are amazing for both day and night looks, and it is so simple to turn a simple day look into an effortlessly-looking Smokey eye ready for an evening out! The reason why they are perfect with making a day look into a night look is due to the fact that they are highly pigmented which is a dream for anybody who wants their look to pop and to last all day and night!

Overall I have no bad things to say about the Naked Basics 2 palette, I have had no struggle with creating amazing eye looks which get many compliments from my friends and family! This product is a must have for anybody as it can create such amazing natural looks as well as looks that make the eyes just pop!

So that’s it for today’s post folks, I hope you enjoyed my review of the Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 palette and the comparison to the original Naked Basics 1 palette. Comment what type of product that you think I should review next!

See you next Saturday!
