So I know what you thinking, 'Nicola this collaboration is old news why are you so late on the bandwagon'. Well I have actually been testing these two beautiful palettes for a few months now and thought it was about time I had a little chat about them with you all. First of all I have to say that I was a huge Gwen Stefani fan when I was younger so when I heard of the collaboration naturally I was very excited. The
Eyeshadow Palette is a really fun one, firstly I love the packaging; It just screams Gwen I think. The colours are pretty much neutral on the whole but I love the fun pops of blue, yellow gold, and pink. There are a mixture of matte's and shimmers making it quite wearable indeed and a great palette for travel. Of course it has the wonderful Urban Decay creamy formula and lasting power on the lids. I would have to say my favorite shades are Bathwater, Baby, Stark, and Zone. If you already own the Naked palettes or want something a little different from Urban Decay then this is a great pick, I also figure it won't be permanent forever so snap it up while you can. The other palette (
Gwen Stefani Blush Palette) released within the Gwen Stefani collection has six blushes ranging from more bronzy tones to highlighters. Again the packaging is beautiful and the formulas are great. Cherry, Easy and OC are pretty blush shades ranging from peaches to pinks and also from matte to shimmer shades. Angel and Hush are really pretty highlight shades for a medium to dark skin tone or blush highlight hybrids for lighter skins like mine. Lastly you get Lo-Fi which I personally use as a bronzer but you could certainly use it as a blush as well. Again because it is all in one palette it is perfect for travel and I think that's quite unusual when it comes to blush, it is also great value because you are getting six blushes at the fraction of the price you would usually pay. Have you tried anything from the Gwen Stefani Urban Decay collection? Love...
