MOTD: UD Naked Basics + New Hair Color Alert

 Good Morning Beautiful Universe!

I hope everyone is doing well on this fabulous Thursday thus far.

I decided to go ALOT lighter with my hair for the prelude to Spring! I wanted to start off by easing myself into blonde with maintaining a dark root. I also decided on a short classic bob with no layers. My hair is sewed in with leave-out along the perimeter for a more natural look. My stylist has the natural installs down pat.

 For makeup today, I wanted something cool and understated.

I've had the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette (1st edition) for quite sometime. I totally forgot about it though.

This nice and simple palette retails for $29 and features 5 neutral cool toned eyeshadows.

This is my on-the-go palette. I take it when I'm traveling because it's compact and very versatile. You can pair these shadows with almost any other single shadow or palette. It is WOC (Women of Color) friendly as well.

Anywho, that's what my eye-look consists of!
