Now that I have shown you what we were up to in and around San Francisco, it’s time again to talk makeup. Well, now that I think about it, it’s always time to talk about makeup. 
Illamasqua Powder Blusher
Canadian Sephora sadly lacks the amazing Illamasqua, so I wanted to check out the brand’s blushes (naturally!). They have incredibly smooth mattes that I wanted to take home, but I felt too guilty about hauling so much. I did swatch some of the blushes though, so everything’s not lost.
The blushes really were that pigmented on the back of my hand. I wanted Hussy and Excite.
Urban Decay Naked Palette
My friend from work and I have been stalking Sephora in the past couple of weeks to see if we can snatch up the coveted Urban Decay Naked Palette. When I saw this in SF, my neutral loving self literally skipped towards the cashier with one in my hand. My fellow Canadians, if you are able to hold out for a trip to the US, I would suggest buying there instead. It is US$44 / CDN$53. For reference I am MAC NC35 / NC37.
Virgin / Sin / Naked / Sidecar
Buck / Half Baked / Smog / Darkhorse
Toasted / Hustle / Creep / Gunmetal
24/7 Liner Pencils: Whiskey / Zero
I am *so* lemming that palette now!! I keep seeing such beautiful swatches of it!
& the Powell St. Sephora is totally my favorite one!!
It’s a really nice Sephora! Wish I took pictures!
Ohhh, I want this so bad
I’ll bet my dog that it will be double the price when it eventually reaches English shores.
I don’t know why companies think it’s acceptable to charge us *so* much extra!
The swatches look beautiful unfortunately so it’s going to be a must-have for me.

Oh I know, it’s despicable what they do to us non-US consumers!
Hope it reaches your store soon. 
You’re going to love it!
Man! I was contemplating whether or not to get the Urban Decay Naked Palette! I just don’t know if I’m willing to spend $53 on more neutrals! Oh btw, I think the Sephora at the Eaton’s Centre still has this!
If you have a palette full of neutrals already, then you’re probably set. I have an excuse though: I don’t!
Haha!
Great haul. I need some Illamasqua blushes in my life. Damn Sephora Canada!

I should have hauled one! I really wanted to take home Hussy.
Next time for sure.
I am so loving your swatches of this palette!! This post is making me want it soo badd..The excite blush looks incredibly pretty as well
Woo you know you want it!
It really is worth the money.
I was browsing Sephora on Monday and decided to look to see if they had the palette back in stock. They did! I immediately clicked on Add to Cart. Although I wasn’t sure I needed another neutral palette, the hype over it made me want it even more.

LOL it’s a hype that’s well deserved though! The palette is excellent!
Hope you get it soon.
yayy sephora post. omg Illamasqua Excite is such a pretty color, good for you for walking away though lol. The UD Naked Palette looks absolutely perfect. The more I get into makeup, the more I realize how awesome neutrals are.

Yes definitely! While it’s not as exciting to look at compared to brights, the value you get out of neutrals is just astonishing!
That photo of the San Francisco Sephora is really making me miss SF! I used to live there and miss it a lot! And the Naked Palette is cool too.
