Urban Decay Naked 3? Now what do I do!

So, during my extensive research into the Naked Palette, other dupes, Naked 1 vs Naked 2 I came across a couple of posts that have confirmed a Naked 3 palette!

TEMPTALIA NAKED 3 PREVIEW!

These 2 image is from the above link and looks gorgeous!



This shows a comparison between all 3 with the naked 3 opened at the bottom! Now I have been STRUGGLING so hard to figure out which one to get. 

I'm fairly sure I'm a warmer neutral tone so apparently Naked 1 is for me. But Naked 2 is so similar and has a MATTE black but apparently is for cooler tones. Honestly, I barely use black and when I do why would I want shimmer?

But now with Naked 3 I am so confused. The pinky rose gold shades are gorgeous and something I would love to rock because I feel it definitely can warm up my face and eyes (I'm slowly tanning up now with summer and have brown eyes with a hint of greeny gold sometimes)

I would LOVE some help from anyone who has used 1 or 2 ! Or even if you can make an educated guess on the tones that Naked 3 will suit!

What do you all think in general? Are they milking it to death or improving with each release?

Beauty Youtubers I love!

Hey guys!

I haven't blogged in a while because of Uni exams and I haven't been wearing as much makeup lately to do any product reviews/swatches etc. So I decided for this one I would suggest some Beauty Youtubers that I love.

It's a pretty simple post but I love finding these because I find no greater pleasure than to just watch the day away with Beauty vloggers and their hauls and tutorials!

I will try do these in a "favourites" order.

#1: Michelle Phan

Yes, she has been raved about and recommended by everyone! But. For me she was the FIRST beauty Youtuber I ever started watching and as such all her tips are what I still use today.
NOTE: I'm not interested in hearing all the negative things about her as we aren't perfect and I don't idolise many celebrities to the point where I think they owe it to me (anyone) to be a perfect role model.

#2: Tanya Burr

She's British and beautiful and her personality is INFECTIOUS. She is so gorgeous and has a great range of makeup tutorials on her channel and another one called DailyMix. What I love is she was the first youtuber I found who listed the products she used in the Description.

#3: Pixiwoo

Sam and Nicola Chapman provide amazing makeup tutorials that are easy to follow and highly accurate in what the titles say it will be. Sam's brushes are also amazing!

#4: Teni - MissMaven.com

I only found her about 2 hours before writing this post but I LOVE her. She is gorgeous and the tutorials are very easy to follow. It also doesn't hurt that she seems to have similar skin tone, hair and eyes to me so her looks are something I would be very interested in trying.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS:
Zoe Sugg - One of Tanya Burr's fellow Youtubers. She doesn't do makeup tutorials but I love listening to her hauls and favourites!
Sinead Cady - The Makeup Chair - Short, to the point tutorials.
Fleur De Force - Similar to Zoe, alot of hauls and favourites which I find help me to try and sift through products that I should buy or shouldn't (I'm easily influenced ;3)
Jen FrmHeadtoToe - Amazing tutorials and a lovely personality!

'Trust' me on Luvocracy!

So I made a Luvocracy account a little while ago and I actually enjoy using it.

I'm not counting on getting any credits from people but it helps me to remember the things I like from my online stores.

Believe me I do so much online browsing and shopping that I forget what I like and where to get it from!

Feel free to 'trust' me to see what I share and my collections

TRUST ME ON LUVOCRACY ❤

ASAP Mineral Makeup prize

So received an email last week (Tuesday 15 October) from ASAP Mineral Makeup that I had won a prize pack from them. They provided me with a full makeup kit and allowed me to choose my own colours.
This is just my first post about them as I have no used them yet and I'd just like to share the products with you all and thank ASAP for their generosity!



First off I got a makeup bag with the following products:


• asap pure mineral make-up x 2
• asap pure lipcolour
• asap pure lip pencil
• asap pure eyecolour
• asap pure eye pencil
• asap pure mascara
as well as a kabuki brush and I believe an eyeshadow brush?

As for the colour choices I went with:


• asap pure mineral make-up  - NUMBER 2 (I also got given "base")
• asap pure lipcolour - THREE
• asap pure lip pencil - THREE
• asap pure eyecolour - NINE
• asap pure eye pencil - CHARCOAL
• asap pure mascara - BLACK

(Top to bottom: lip pencil, eye pencil, lip colour, eyecolour)

The eyecolour was a little sheer and that photo had me swatch it 3 times but I really like the colour and I probably wouldn't build it up that much anyway.

So that's my little introduction to what I got given. I will be using them all for a graduation I have coming up and when I have the time I'll try do a proper review of the products then!

Blog title and URL

So currently I am too lazy to try and rethink my blog title and the URL.

I just wanted to write a sort of .. 'disclaimer' surrounding them in case they seem familiar.

My URL "the0ceanlies" is an original song by the artist D at Sea and I will link that below:



The blog title "On Paper Seas" is an original song by Millie Tizzard which is also linked below:

On Paper Seas - Millie Tizzard
(I tried for about 10 minutes to find the video like above but it wasn't there I DON'T UNDERSTAND)

I love these artists they have amazing voices and beautiful covers and songs.
I highly recommend checking them both out!

ヾ(*^▽゚)

I love Japanese emoticons \(o⌒∇⌒o)/

Anyway the point of this post is mainly to verify for myself that I really wanted to start a blog.What about?

I have no idea.

Currently it's looking like random thoughts but if I really had a goal for this I'd love to cover stuff that I like in my life; music gigs I go to, bath and beauty stuff I love.


I will stress that I am by no means an expert in music or beauty stuff and this blog will simply be a simplified version of many other already existing blogs. 


I am also new to blogging and have only ever run a Tumblr which consisted of me mainly reblogging numerous gifs relating to Scrubs, Star Wars and various movie and TV series I am obsessed with. 


I'm almost finished Uni for the year so once that's done I will probably have more time to take photos of things I want to have on the blog and in general dedicate a bit more time to it's creation.


Until I have the courage to post again;
