Fake Urban Decay Naked 2?

I am not a eyeshadow person.

I NEVER HAD any eye shadow palette. Back when I was younger I actually didn't find eye shadow necessary, naively I thought having eyeliner could enhance my entire eye makeup already.  But when it came to any special occasion for example dancing performance, photoshooting, or clubbing, I just used my girlfriends' ones (if they brought it along)   I know it sounds cheapskate but that was just .. ok cheapskate I have no excuse here.

Till this year, 2014, and I'm 9teen.

I figured it out I can't live with only applying eyeliner no more also I'm amazed by what difference eyeshadow could do in all youtube gurus' videos. And speaking of famous eyeshadow, has anyone not heard of Naked? I doubt that.    

So I put naked in my wishlist. 

Why wishlist because I had to work and save up to get one as I ain't no richie rich also it is really overpriced (retail price @ Sephora is RM188 if I'm not mistaken) to me, compared with all the other eyeshadow out there in the market are mostly RM40 ++ for all those drugstore make up products. 

There was a day, when my friend Ivor came to one of our group chat to ask

' Naked 2 for rm100, is it worth? '

We girls were like wat, really, is that authentic or nah!

She later said 

'My friend's cousin's works at a company that they sell Naked, only 6 left,  and they guaranteed it is authentic' 

..

Guess what was the stupidest thing we ever done?

We bought the lie.

How could we be so easily fooled? You must be thinking.

On my defend, hey, it sounded really convincing (the guarantee part).

So, 3 of us, Ivor WeiWei and I quickly ordered from that girl as we were afraid of running out of stock or whatsoever and that time was pretty close to Chinese New Year and we would love if we lay our hands on em palettes faster.

Well, I get the palette. 

It's is really light-weighted. Woahhh slow down boy, are you sure 

This costed me a fucking hundred probably the most expensive damn cosmetic I ever bought

Just kidding don't forget about em foundation & powder.

(Photos below are taken with iPhone5)

Followings are my FAKE NAKED 2:

WTF WITH YOUR MOTHERFUCKING STICKER STICKING OUT?

This was when I used it for quite some time thou I'm a very clumsy person but you have no fucking idea how much I took good care of this palette because of the price lol. The sticker was already loosen up by the time I unbox this shit.

Open up the damn palette. For a newbie-beginner, I don't find anything abnormal 

The printed font, the colors, the brush, everything seems pretty good to me as all this time I kept thinking how expensive this palette is and it would only do me good but no harms.

Chopper, Snakebite, Pistol, Busted 4 colors on the back of my hand.

They looked pretty much the same, not pigmented, I had to apply like 4-5 layers to get this color in the photo. 

It is fucking troublesome and dirty when you had to apply like 4-5 layers to get the color layered, what if I wanna apply 3 layers? Then it would be like 10+ layers already wtf? Our eyes get dirt easily in that case. 

How did I found out the fucking palette is fake?

Case #1 

A friend of mine bought a fake Naked 2 in China, which confronted it to me as soon as she landed lol she was like 

eh I bought a fake Naked 2 leh! RM35 only if you converted it to MYR

 I was like but I bought a real one HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

She then said omg really! Show me!

*she came over my place to investigate*

After she played around with my mine, she turned around looking at me very seriously, saird 'are you sure this is authentic? Because it looked exactly like mine, even the brush, the eyeshadow powder all'

I was stunned a little, then thought that the friend of ours wouldn't lied to us.. I think?

I started using it during CNY.

From my observation, the color faded away pretty quick which is fucking suspicious because ain't no Urban Decay's are that bad. I watched almost ALL the makeup tutorial, reviews, blog posts on the Internet before getting the palette
(you know, this is what poor people do lol)  

All I saw was compliments, good words, and high labels about Naked 2.

But the fact that my palette was so suck annoyed the fuck outta me so I went around to ask 2 friends of mine, who owned authentic Naked 2 themselves if you know them, Michelle & Jayee. 

Just now, I went on a dinner date with Jay, whos bout to fly back to Aussie.

Unexpectedly she brought her Naked along with her, mind reader yay!  But then I forgot to bring mine wtf hahahahhaha she be like fuck you, then handed me hers 

BY THE MOMENT I HAD JAY'S PALETTE ON MY HAND, I KNEW MINE WAS FAKE.

I JUST KNEW IT.  

Hers was SO MUCH HEAVIER than mine, mine weighted like a fucking paper.

Hers was obviously made up of quality cases but mine was just cheap plastic thing.

WTF?  Then I opened it up, all I see from her palette made me just wanna throw myself out of the window. 

The printed fonts, the color, the plastic thing beside the mirror 

ARE ALL TOTALLY DIFF.

photo from Amy Tabby's blogspot

Left : Fake Ass Naked 2 // Right : Genuine Naked 2

If you notice, the font of the fake ones are bigger, looked vulgarer while the genuine ones are slightly brighter in color, smaller words.  The Half Baked is the most obvious in proving it as the fake one is kind of off the center and ugly.  

photo from Amy Tabby's blogspot, again

Top: Fake Ass Naked 2 brush // Right: Genuine Naked 2 brush

THIS IS THE MOST UPSETTING THING TO SEE.

If you pay enough attention on it, the blending brush( the bigger and puffier) of the genuine one is supposed to be at the Urban Decay words' side ; but mine turned out to be at the words Naked 2  side .

Means it is upside down lol! 

Photos of our owns:

Top:  Mine (fake) // Bottom:  My friend Jay's (genuine)

From what I've read online, the left side of the genuine brush is supposed to be the blending one not the normal eyeshadow brush.

Top: Mine (fake)  // Bottom: my friend Jay's(genuine)

Look at that little hole things under the mirror, the fake one has 3 holes there and the genuine one is supposed to have 2 but I think Jay missed out as she took the photo too near but you can still tell because hers doesn't have the next hole after 3 colors the first hole.   What am I even talking about lol

My friend's thought on Naked 2. Maybe I remind you this girl uses all the high-end brands in the market and is very picky and hard to satisfy hahahahah #truestory so when she say somethings nice, it is and I believe.

My thought on Naked 2 (before I found out it was fake) :

'Wtf how on earth this thing faded so fast and smudged up easily all the time? Only an hour I took to have my dinner by the end of my date the color on my lids already smudge down to my lower lids which is the most disgusting thing it makes my entire eye makeup looked dirty and annoying I can't even save it with concealer how horrible is that? Also, the casing is light-weighted, it sounds when I shake the palette lightly (the sound of the cheap plastic I assume) , colors don't stay on, not pigmented, difficult to apply, not long lasting, and most importantly the person claimed it authentic and fool everybody. Cb'

OKAY.

I AM VERY VERY VERY ANGRY.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 'GUARANTEE IT IS REAL?'

Ain't got no rm100 to waste on a fake thing.

If I were to buy something fake, I could have just TaoBao it or ask my friend to get it for me from China as well. The more rm65 I paid but I got the same thing with my friend that bought a fake one.

RM65 OKAY? How many Mc Nuggets I could possibly buy with that money in the world?

By the time I'm ending this blog post, I should be getting my rights (and money hopefully) back lol.

Wish me luck!

I'm not gonna say anything like 'its not bout the money its about the faith' bla bla bla

Because the palette is  fake enough already I don't need to fake my ass any further eeew 

cause it is all about the money also the faith, maybe a little.

My mother was just lecturing me how I shouldn't 贪小便宜 by trusting that I can make good deals buying expensive thing with little money. Guess it takes a life lesson for me to finally learn. I'd rather to spend more to go to the actual shop then online shopping now.  Thanks you all useless online web pages.

Turned out my friend Mic's was also fake and she used it for 2 years already wtf!

She only found out as Jay and I were sending photos to make a comparison of ours.

How many more lies are hidden out there?

DAMN YOU ALL UNTRUSTWORTHY ONLINE SHOPS.

I would never ever ever buy any skin care/ cosmetic through the Internet.

NO MORE.

FUCK YALL.

Further CORRECTION:

Turned out the entire cousin's girlfriend thing was only in my imaginary world which is non existed -_- the one that sold us the palette was my friend's cousin who worked in a street deal company (something like groupon) but his' was based in Singapore. His cousin brought em palettes back from Sg as he was allowed to pick something from the company as the company was distributing bonuses to the employees. He chose Naked 2.  Of course he then sold the palettes, what on earth a guy wanna do with 6 fucking eyeshwdow palettes!?

And you know, they re guys.
They are insensitive, they aren't the one that use the products. They didn't even know the palettes were fake until finding it out here on my blog (ish mean Karwei at her best) Feeling a slight of guilt about ranting here on blog but what about the consumers' rights!

In conclusion, we are all victims here. 
The cousin, the friend, us, perhaps the company as well.

Damn people who produced the fake products, do those people have any idea how harmful the fake products can be to us? We don't even know what are the ingredients and stuff! And claimed that they are real. Pffff


This is why I have trust issues.

Tea session @ TWG Tea Salon Gurney Paragon.

If you don't already know, the luxury and most authentic tea shop TWG in now opened in Penang!

Yayyyyyyyyy   Been hearing a lots of this tea brand a decade ago still haven't gotten the chance to try it out.  Now they're opened in Penang,  Gurney Paragon. Time to plan a proper tea session with da girls!  

Photos taken while waiting outside to get ourselves a seat.

Oh ya, all the photos in this post credited to IVOR      don't ask why if you remember how dead my camera went straight after the lil photoshoot we did.  Shhhh.

The menu. Obviously.

By da way, the service crews of TWG tea salon are not satisfying.

We raised our hands a little and called the waiters as we were ready to order. But they didn't come immediately till we had to call them for the 3rd or 4th time only they came to take order. There were times they just looked at us 

(when we called) , then looked away, then walked away ://

This aspect can be really improved yo TWG.

Photo stole from Ivor's.  Dat luxurious ambiance thou.

We had a special guest on that day

Jay is back from Aussie!  

So pretty so gorgeous omg I feel like a total potato beside her.

Don't can. Very pressure

Edited my arm which in real life it looks like a fucking hulk's arm.

What.  Looks ugly in real life can't at least a little better in photos is it

Hahahahaha

Me:  Did you washed your hair or nah? It stinks.

Jay:  Don't care *pout*

Hahahahaha just kidding. She smells great as always.

Omg look at this piece of shit. What is this

We graduated the same time, cut our hair the same time (before the graduation ceremony), kept it long the same time but look at the difference of our hair length wtf.  Is the weather in Australia better so hers grew in a rocket speed or what.  

Scones RM13.50 comes with milk cream and the jam.

Jay & Ivor ordered the same thing, yeaaa scones.

According to them it is nice until Jay ordered the second set of it.

That girl is really picky, a real pain in the ass when we out eating with her :p

But now that she said the scones are good, it must be really good then.

The Silver Moon  RM19

My tea. While Ivor & Dini shared another pot called Para Para or Sakura Sakura already I forgot wtf hahahahah the name is so tricky kept reminding me of the old song Para Para Sakura.

The Silver Moon tea was recommended by the staff. I asked for something sweet and smooth, he went to get The Silver Moon's tea leaf to let me have a smell of it, turned out it smelled really great like a flowery garden. So I just took it. Very satisfying order.

If you spot that three cute muffins on the tea set, that's French Madeleine.

My order. It is some kind of little sponge cake which shaped like a.. vagina 

WAT. REALLY OK. SORRY LA.

I very unglam one.

It tasted really really good thou. Soft, tasty and beat their scones I believe :p

Girls being girls, couldn't stop taking photos throughout the whole tea session :p

Oh wait. Where is me   D:

Too busy eating dei.  Big eater here.

Don't talk to me when I'm eating. Don't interrupt. I'll eat you too.

Just kidding I'm so nice.  

Ivor and I.   Edited arms again lolol so fake.

Wait till the day I don't need to edit anymore

*determination*

Was supposed to spend lmore time with this gorgeous but we couldn't

So yeaaa. Meeting her up before she goes back to Aussie.

That's a promise.

Till I see you!   X

Review: Cerro Qreen 10pcs Brushes Set

Another collaboration with Natta Cosme,  whom I'd always loved to work with.
They're very efficient, lovely and considerate!   ♡

As usual, never failed to surprise me, I got overwhelmed unboxing!
Omg why do you have to be so damn sweet :D  ♡ ♡

Sweetest thank you card from Natta Cosme. Mad love!

 What's really unexpected, was they had this super delicious peanuts biscuit attached in the box
HOHOHO very delicious yo!  I picked them right up and put them in my mouth hehehe
You gotta know how tamjiak yours truly is :p

Now, it is time to reveal what was in the gift box they sent.
That's the thing with Natta Cosme, they never stated it in the email.
They kept us guessing and wondering. Hmpp!

 But thats what a gift is about right :p

Think you can guess it in my post title,  they sent me
Cerro Qreen 10pcs Brushes Set

I've always dreamed of having a complete set of brushes!  I mean really!
In fact, I almost purchased a brushes set from the internet, which I had no confidence in their quality, reputation, and also the website. Seemed not trust able :// that was why I hesitated.   Till the next week I got home from college,
I got these amazing ones from Natta Cosme. Mind reader!

CERRO QREEN Cosmetic Make-up Brush Set - Black & White ( 10 pcs ) 

This set of cosmetic make-up brushes is most suitable for all groups of people, be it the new hands who are interested in cosmetics or experienced people in make up. The cosmetic case of this set of brushes uses the simple best match between black and white while the inner is the warm milky color. There are all together 10 brushes in it that could beautify your eyes make up, foudation and so on. The wooden handle of the brushes can withstand decolorisation and the comfortable surface makes it convenient for you to hold your brushes while you make up.

10 pcs 

[ Weight ]

175g

1. Powder Brush         brush length 18cm //  bristles length 4.6cm

Comfortable and soft bristles that could capture the foundation powder even more easily.

What do I think :  
 I love love love this brush. I bring it everywhere I go just in case I need to touch up my makeup while I am out, this brush can be really helpful. On the other side, it is so light I wouldn't even notice that it is in my bag.
How I use it  :   
I use it to apply powder/ foundation as the last step of make up, to set everything in place.

2. Blush Brush     brush length 16cm //  bristles length 3.4cm

Made with natural goat's hair, enhanced comfortableness and great ability in holding powder.

 What do I think:
I called it a big angled brush. People usually use it to apply blusher but I chose to use it to apply bronzer and it works perfectly well!  I'm guessing it's the angled thing that helped.
How I use it:
I use it to apply bronzer on my cheek bones.

3. Foundation Brush     brush length 15.7cm //  bristles length 2.9cm

The brush does not absorb water and oil,making it easier to spread the foundation more evenly.

What do I think:

This is one of the brush I used the most among the set. It blends my foundation and concealer well and it touches the place where your bare hands couldn't reach. Never applied foundation/ concealer with your bare hands anymore!  It is not clean and your foundation wouldn't be even.

 How I use it:

I use it to apply concealer, especially under my eyes, and help blending in my foundation.

 Another photo of the 3 brushes I just introduced.

4. Eye Shadow Brush   (Large )    brush length 15cm //  bristles length 1.2cm
5. Eye Shadow Brush      (Small )   brush length 14.5cm  // bristles length 0.9cm
Soft and comfortable, gently put on your make up without hurting the weaker skin around the eyes.
These 2 are normal eye shadow brushes, they are soft and gentle to use.
The large eye shadow brush is a C brush and can be used to apply shadow to the crease, lid or brow area. I primarily use it to apply shadow to the crease then use a longer brush to blend. It can also be used as a smudge brush.
How I use it:
I use the big one to apply light colored eye shadow all over my eyelid; and the small one to apply the darker colored eye shadow on my lashed line and the end of my eyes.

6. Hard Eyebrow Brush      brush length 13.5cm   bristles length 0.6cm

Perfect hardness yet it does not damage your skin, can be paired with liquid eyeliner to give you the meticulous eyeline ever.

7. Eyelash Brush     brush length 15.5cm //  bristles length 2.6cm

Specially designed for your neat eyelash

I called a spoolie and I used to comb the lashes either before apply mascara and after to help blend the lashes better so the lashes don't look like spider legs. It can also be used on the brow in place of the brow duo.

8. Fan Brush     brush length 16.8cm  // bristles length 3.3cm

Conveniently cleans away excess powder for a better makeup.

It is a fan brush which is typically used to help sweep away fall out. Can also be used to apply blush and even foundation but primarily used to sweep fall out from eye shadow.

9. Lip brush     brush length 9.5cm //  bristles length 1cm

Full of elasticify, can absorb tiny powder to make your lips shine.

10. Angled Brush  (not in the photos)
An angled brush that can help create sharp edges, can be used on the brows (to fill in) or be used as a liner brush.  I use it as eyeliner brush and it is really dirty I don't feel like showing it.


Overall:

I love this set of brushes!  They're perfect for me.
Not too much, not too little, 10 pieces is just right.
What I really really love about them is that the brushes are really soft and it feels really cute when it touches my skin awwww hahaha! Am I the only one that feels that way :D
Also, they are easy to clean, easy to keep and light-weighted!.
Not to forget about the quality, I heard that some of them are made of goat hair.
I may not have used the most high end products but the quality of Cerro Qreen

I think a complete set of brushes is kind of a necessity for girls right.

I speak for all the girls here! As I watch youtube makeup tutorials, all the youtube makeup gurus always have the perfect set of brushes.   It is so important to get a good ones!

All the complimentary brushes that were being attached in the cosmetics are mostly rough, hard to use and low quality. How do you expect the company to send you a good brush when you only purchase the cosmetics.

Log on  http://nattacosme.com/ to purchase one for yourself!

They prices are really cheap compared to retails price.

Now you don't need to spend a lot to get good quality stuff!
