Urban Decay Rollergirl palette ++ giveaway winner

A few days ago I was lucky enough to find an Urban Decay Rollergirl palette discounted at the 68%, for only 10 euros! Almost nothing! As soon as I saw it in my local Sephora, I immediately grabbed it. It was the last one remaining too! Huge deal.

I would've probably bought any UD palette if it costed so little, but I was particularly happy to get this because it features some UD bestsellers which are contained in the Naked palette as well - Verve, Darkhorse and Suspect. I am a natural, naked look fan so I doubt I'll ever use Woodstock, but it looks very nice.

The palette contains also a little 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in Whiskey eyepencil and Lip Junkie lipgloss in Crush. I dont really see the use of lipglosses (or, even worse, liptints) in palettes, but I have to say i quite like this one. Its a pretty shade, it lasts for a very long time and it gives a feeling of freshness for a while. On the other hand its a bit sticky and i dont like the fact that it comes in a tube, but anyway!

The eyeshadow are all very pigmented and quite glittery. Last Saturday i used Verve as a base, Darkhorse as an eyeliner and Suspect on my crease. These 3 shades create a great look, i was very very pleased with the result. It might not be the newest UD product but its quality is definitely high. Its travel size as well and contains a little mirror as you can see from the photo. If youre a nude look lover like me, i really suggest you should try this palette (:

I'm thinking of skipping this month's giveaway and doing a very big one in February, including lots of items. What do you think?

Anatomicals 'Don't just clean it woman, scrub it' body scrub

Photobucket

This product is part of my little Anatomicals haul I made a while ago. I was looking for a good body scrub, I wanted to test some of the Anatomicals products and for quite a reasonable price (around €5) i got the Don't just clean it woman, scrub it body scrub. It comes in a 200ml tube; in the swatch below you can see it consistency and colour.

While I have nothing to say about the efficiency of this scrub (it works well for my skin; as for the face cleanser I reviewed here, it doesnt leave my skin dry and it cleanses deeply), I have something to criticize: its smell. It's not that good. Well, in fact it reminds me of a medicine I used to take when I had sore throat as a little kid. That's the only bad thing I have to say about this product. I'd definitely buy it again, but they have to do something about the smell !!
