Urban Decay Naked Cherry Palette Look

Hey folks! Today I bring you a smoky reddish look. 

Enough blabbering, tutorial time!
I  applied the blush from the Lune+Aster Desert Moon Palette as a base for Hourglass Strobe Blush in Iridescent Rose with my Sephora Collection Pro Mini Airbrush 55.5. I also applied highlight from the Lune+Aster Desert Moon Palette using my Sephora Collection #74 PRO Small Blush and Contour brush as a base for Hourglass Strobe Powder in Iridescent Strobe Light.

As a base for my eyeshadow I applied Laura Mercier Caviar Eye Color Stick in Rose Gold and blended it out with my Crown Pro C511 brush. I apologize for forgetting to photograph this step.
For the crease I applied Turn On along with Privacy with the wet n wild Crease Brush and Crown Pro C511 Brush, respectively. 
For the lid  I applied Ambitious wet using wondergloss face aperitif in rose using my Crown Pro C510 brush.
To highlight the brow-bone and the inner corner of the eye I applied Hot Spot and Bang Bang using my no-name gigantic paddle brush from Crown and Crown Pro C528 brush, respectively.
For eyeliner I applied the Physicians Formula Eye Booster Waterproof Ultra-Fine Liquid Eyeliner in Black with a nice cat eye. For the waterline I applied Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Junkie.
For the lower lash line, I applied Juicy using my Bubbi Detail brush.
The look sans falsies. 
For lashes I used Kiss So Wispy Lashes in 09 along with the Duo Brush On Adhesive.
Hope that you liked this! :D It was super fun for me to put together! 

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Urban Decay Naked Cherry Palette Review

Behold the Urban Decay Naked Cherry Palette

Availability: This appears to have been discontinued.
Would I buy this?: I'm not sure
Notes: I feel like I'm slightly disappointed in the palette from the standpoint that it's visually very red but performs more like a neutral palette as its name would suggest.
Without further ado, swatchfest!
Hot Spot is described as an ivory matte, I'd agree with their description. 
Caution is described as an soft neutral beige matte, I'd say it's a matte warm beige.
Bang Bang is described as a shimmering pink with gold shift and iridescent micro-sparkle, I'd say that description is spot-on. This would make a beautiful blush or even a highlight for someone with a deeper skin-tone.
Feelz is described as a soft dusty rose matte, I'd say it's a warm soft mauve matte.
Juicy is described as a soft warm peach, I'd say it's a warm, matte peachy coral.
Turn On is described as an pale metallic rose shimmer, I'd say it's a  champagne-y shimmery pink rose.
Ambitious is described as an metallic rose copper, I'd agree with their description.
Bing is described as a deep mauve matte, I'd say it's a very muted dusty cherry red. 
Devilish is described as a reddish plum matte, I'd say it's a matte merlot.
Young Love is described as a metallic cranberry, I'd agree with their description
Drunk Dial is described as a deep metallic burgundy, I'd say it's a blackish base with a red pearl.
Privacy is described as a deep brownish-plum matte, I'd agree with their description and add that this leans warm

Stila next to notte Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow

 Hey folksickles, today I'll be reviewing the Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow in next to notte

Availability: It appears this shade is discontinued.
Would I buy this?: I'm not sure.
Notes: I'd describe it as  deep burgundy wine base with pinkish red glitter.  It's beautiful on its own or sheered out as a top-coat. One of my friends got this for me and I think it would work perfect with the pink and red looks I've been doing lately. Kind of like the one above. :P
