Update: Urban Decay Naked Palette

The high demand of Urban Decay's Naked Palette is only somewhat surprising considering the twelve gorgeous neutrals accompanied by a duo liner and the brand's popular Primer Potion. Still though, it can be somewhat aggravating trying to hunt the palette down. If you've been struggling to get your hands on the coveted Naked Palette while it goes in and out of stock online and in stores, I've got pleasant info for you! The Naked Palette is not limited edition and the brand is working on sending shipments to retailers so that everyone will have a chance at getting Naked.

Urban Decay Naked Palette $44.00

Ulta.com is currently sold out, as is Urban Decay's own site. Purchase now from Sephora.com while the palette is still stocked, or wait just a bit for your favorite retailers to have them on-hand once again.

Product Review: MAC Fix+

Dare I review a MAC product and leave myself open to retaliation by the brand's army of enthusiasts worldwide? Yes. I dare.

MAC Fix+ $18.00

MAC's site describes the product as follows: "An aqua-spritz of vitamin and minerals, infused with a calm-the-skin blend of green tea, chamomile, cucumber, topped off with the fresh, natural, energizing scent of Sugi. Adds radiance, finishes makeup. Spray it on. Skin drinks it up!"

Society's take: your skin will need to learn to chug. While the product may be whittled from nature's best offerings, the dispensing of said miracle juice is far from refreshing. A soft spritz to awaken the senses would be lovely - absolutely ideal, however, this is not delivered. Furthermore, reviews that I saw in regard to the product, pre-purchase, claimed it would set my makeup, act as a mixing agent, assist with foiling my shadows, ... fly me above the rainbows so that I could play amidst soft and snuggly clouds. To sum, the product was to be the answer to all my makeup woes; no such luck, Dear.

The spritz that comes from the container (a thoughtful container, might I add, with a twist-to-close nozzle that protects its roomies during travel) is almost not even worthy of being categorized as a spritz. The amount of product that dispenses is far too concentrated and leaves your face wet, not misted and refreshed. I've tried "spritzing" from 6" (as a rookie), 10" then 12"... the trial and error involved with using Fix+ is unbelievable. Thinking that perhaps I was a cynic after watching praising reviews, I decided to try the product on Society Gal Andrea - only to produce yet another wet face, frightened by the deluge of product that had just rained down.

As for foiling - trusty H2O never fails. Dampen your brush and press it against a paper towel to rid excess, then tap a bit of the mineral product into its lid and circle your brush to create a tiny paste of product for application.

Lesson learned: some things really are too good to be true.
