Anatomicals 'Snog Me Senseless' lipbalm

Some time ago I made a little Anatomicals haul; today I'm going to talk you about a product I'm completely in love with: the Snog Me Senseless lipbalm.

I was immediately attracted by the nice, simple packaging and the name - it's so funny! Also, I'm a lipbalm collector so I thought I could add one to my stash. It was cheap as well (it cost about €3) so I didn't think twice about buying it. This is such a good product for me. It comes in a tube and it has no pigmentation, it's just a regular clear balm. When you apply it, it leaves a strong, fresh minty feeling on your lips for more than half an hour! Moreover, it has a nice glossy finish. I think this lipbalm is perfect for those who often have sore lips, especially in the winter.

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 (:
