MAKEOVER
As you've no doubt already noticed, Lion in the Wild has had a much deserved makeover (thanks for all the love on Instagram!). I figured since I'm about to take the blog to the next level - you know, more frequent posts, a wider variety of topics and not to mention killer collaborations - it was high time to refresh the page and step forward with something new. There really is nothing like spring cleaning (or autumn cleaning?). I would love to know your thoughts on the revamped layout and the content you'd like to see more of on Lion in the Wild.
And what better way to celebrate the facelift than with a beauty post (oh so clever)? If you reside in Australia, you may want to stop reading right now to avoid a serious bout of envy. For the next paragraph I'm going to be raving on about the Urban Decay Naked Palettes, which are unfortunately not available 'down under' (can't say I didn't warn you). And while I'm sure one day they will be, I fear they'll probably cost an arm and a leg. The hype was hard to ignore when the first Naked palette was released overseas and subsequently completely sold out. And then luckily, as if by some miracle, I picked up the Naked 2 Palette whilst in Montreal late last year in no other than the beauty heaven that is Sephora. I was instantly blown away by the quality (and quantity!) of the eyeshadows. Come a very white Christmas in Mont-Tremblant, I was to have not one but two Urban Decay palettes thanks to a very generous gift from my girl Brooke.
I quickly realised how these two palettes would become a staple in my beauty bag after neglecting almost all of my existing eye shadows. What can I say? The warm neutral colours are all a natural redhead could ask for in a palette. However, a negative factor has recently come to light regarding the two palettes - I'm using them too quickly! And since I can't possibly purchase them locally or nationally, the only possible solution is to travel overseas for the sole purpose of stocking up on my absolute number one, mega favourite Naked Palettes. What a bummer (not)!
