Urban Decay Vice LTD Eyeshadow Palette l Now at Ulta!

The Urban Decay Vice LTD eyeshadow palette is now available on the Ultra website.  The palette includes 20 eyeshadows, a mix of brand new and cult favorite shades.  The shade range includes neutrals, brights, and darker smoky shades.The palette retails for $58 and like the name says, it is limited edition.  The packaging is a neon green case with a jeweled UD logo on the top.

The website says, "Experiment with brights, neutrals and smoky hues in a range of finishes - all in Urban Decay's decadent, velvety eye shadow formula. Taking inspiration from some of their favorite palettes over the years, Urban Decay created an amazing collection loaded with a mix of cult-favorite UD hues and never-before-seen shades you won't find anywhere else."

The shades include:

• Nameless (medium taupe satin)
• Backdoor (cool dark brown matte)
• Deeper (metallic medium bronze)
• Disco (pale metallic gold w/iridescent glitter)
• Heat (bright metallic copper)
• Crystal (icy metallic blue shimmer)
• Goddess (deep smoky blue w/micro-glitter)
• Vaporize (medium metallic gray-taupe)
• Floss (deep metallic emerald w/micro-glitter)
• Perversion (soft black matte)
• Provocateur (icy metallic pink w/micro-glitter)
• Hoodoo (medium metallic violet w/pink shift)
• Freakshow (bright purple satin)
• Junkshow (bright pink satin)
• Blitz (bright metallic gold)
• Chase (soft metallic bronze)
• Last Sin (pale champagne shimmer)
• Roadstripe (iridescent white w/blue-violet shift)
• Anonymous (pale peachy cream matte)
• Laced (soft pink-nude matte)

My thoughts: Personally, this palette isn't for me.  This palette is definitely very versatile, but for me I just wouldn't know where to start.  How to combine the shades and make a look.  I can see people who don't have many colorful shadows liking this as well as people who love colorful eyeshadow.

New UD Naked Basics 2 Palette!

Hey everyone!
If you know me then you know the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette is one of if not my favorite palette.  I just saw that they released a Naked Basics 2, which has more cooler shades.  I went from thinking I didn't need it to thinking I must have it.

This is part of the description on the Urban Decay website, "Cooler in tone than the original, Naked2 Basics complements Naked2 perfectly. We loaded this indispensable palette with six TAUPE-hued matte neutrals, including five never-before-seen shades. These shadows are neutral enough for anyone, from cool skin tones to olive complexions to darker skin."

I'm not sure if it's really an essential palette if you have loads of other shades like it or similar.  I am actually thinking of getting it, it is $29 and has 6 eye shadows.

The shades:

• Skimp (pale nude satin)
•  Stark (nude-pink matte)
• Frisk (warm gray matte)
•  Cover (muted red-brown matte)
• Primal (muted brown matte) 
•  Undone (deep, smoky brown matte).

FOTD: Neutral Eyes and Bold Lips

Hey everyone!
For today's makeup I decided to go with neutral light eye shadow and a bold classic red lip.  I really like this look and for me it could easily be an everyday look.  I really like the way red lips look on me and how it contrasts with my pale skin.  I am thinking about doing a tutorial on this look on my YouTube channel, comment below if that would be something you are interested in seeing.

Face: 
For my foundation I used the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation in Ivory 805.  Then for my under eye concealer I used Benefit Fakeup Concealer in Light 01, which is suppose to be a hydrating crease concealer that doesn't crease.  It does crease on me though, just like all the other concealers I've tried. .  For setting my under eye concealer I used the Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Cream, this powder has been discontinued but I have a backup and it's my favorite powder for setting foundation and concealer.  I also used the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Fair on  a few spots I have.  I used the Estee Lauder Just Blush Eye and Cheek Powder in Rose Tutu for my blush and it is sadly discontinued.  For contouring I used the L'Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Powder in C3 Creamy Natural.  I also used the Maybelline Baby Skin Primer, the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Mood Light, and the Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray.

Eyes: 
For my brows I used the Maybelline Master Shape Brow Pencil in Soft Brown along with the NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder in Blonde.  I also went ahead and used the Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara as a brow gel in order to set my brows. As for an eye prime I used the e.l.f. Eyelid Primer in Sheer and the whole eye look I used the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette.  I used a combination of w.o.s. and foxy on my lid, then I used Naked 2 on my outer corner and in my crease.  I used w.o.s. to blend everything out an foxy as my brow bone highlight.  I skipped eyeliner and used my current favorite mascara which is Maybelline Volum' Express The Rocket Mascara.

Lips: 
For my lips I went with a cool toned matte balm  which would be the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Standout.

Let me know if you like these FOTD posts and let me know if you want me to do more of them!

First Impression: Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm

Hey everyone!

So if you have seen my Urban Decay and Lush Haul on my youtube channel (link below and see previous post about the video) then you will know that I received a sample of the UD Naked Skin Beauty Balm in my order.  

So for the full size of this product(1 oz) it is $34 and the travel size(0.50 oz) it's $14.  Now this is suppose to be a "universal shade" meaning that one shade will work for everyone. 

I'm not going to go into all the claims of this product because it didn't work for me.  The color was way to dark for my skin(I have very fair skin) and looked orange on me.  Now I have heard many people complain about bb creams making them look orange but I have never really had a problem with that until now.  Maybe it's because this is the first high end bb cream I have tried.  The coverage wasn't bad from what I could tell but the color just didn't work at all.  

So overall this product was a complete fail for me.  The color was to dark and looked orange.  Now just because I didn't work for me doesn't mean it won't work for you.  But I will not be purchasing this bb cream. 

If you have tried this bb cream please let me know what you think of it in the comments down below!

MOTD: 8/31/13

Today I wasn't really in the mood to do to much with my makeup so I did a really simple look.  

The first thing I did was prime my eyelids with this mini Urban Decay Primer Potion that I got with one of my palettes.  

After I primed my lids I used a NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Strawberry Milk that I just bought the other day(comment if you want me to do a haul) all over my lids and did a tiny bit of blending with my finger. 

Moving on to mascara I used the Maybelline Mega Plush and that's all I did to my eyes.  

I then used the NYX Brow Cake in Blonde, taking the lighter of the two powder shades and filled in my brows.  Then I took the wax using the small angled brush it comes with and used that to set my brows so they stay in place. 

After I finished with my eye and brow makeup I moved on to my face.  I don't wear foundation everyday, I mainly use it for special occasions because I have pretty good skin.  I will use a BB cream though if I want to look a bit more "put together."  I just used a bit of my e.l.f. Tone Correcting Concealer in Light Beige on a few blemishes I have.

Then for my lips I decided to use my new NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in San Paulo.  It's a really nice dark pink color, it's hard to describe but it's really pretty.  This lip product is suppose to be in between a lipstick and a lipgloss.  I don't  want to go into to much detail but if you want me to do a review comment down below.

Review: Urban Decay Naked Basics Pallette

So I know the Urban Decay Naked Basics eye shadow palette isn't exactly new to the beauty community, but it is to me.  I've had this palette for maybe a month now, and I love using it to create natural makeup looks.  Neutrals are great because they look good on everyone and are great for people who are just starting to wear makeup  and don't know which colors look best on them.  I personally prefer a matte shadow over a shimmer, and the fact that it's an all matte palette really drew me in.  In this palette there are six neutral matte shadows, four of which are exclusive and new.  The palette it's self is very sleek and compact.  It also has a mirror which is good for touch ups.  It is a great size for traveling or even just throwing in your purse.

The first shadow in the palette is Venus, a soft off-white demi-matte.  It's the only shadow in the palette with a touch of satin.  I love to put Venus on my inner eye, it really makes my makeup pop. 

The next shadow(Foxy)Urban Decay describes as a cream bisque matte and I have to agree.  Foxy is a nice cream pale yellow color.  You can wear it with other shadows or you can wear it by itself and maybe add some black eyeliner to create a winged eyeliner look.  It's great to use if your going for a very simple neutral look.

Walk of Shame(or W.O.S.) is a very light nude color.  As you can see in the swatch down below, W.O.S. is very close to my skin color.  I love using it to blend!  It's just a great nude color.

Naked 2 is taupe matte and the lightest shade of brown.  Next shadow is Faint, which is a warm, dusty brown.  I love using Faint in my crease.  The last shadow is Crave, the deepest, darkest brown/black.  Crave is great to use as an alternative to eyeliner.


The Naked Basics palette is $27 which I don't think is that bad of a price for the product.  I really like and enjoy this palette.  I only have one con and that is the fact that when I first bought it the palette was hard to open.  But now that I know how to open it, it isn't really a problem anymore.  The fact that it's a little hard to open also is a pro because this way if you just throw it in your purse it is less likely to open and make a mess everywhere.  I defiantly recommend this to someone who doesn't have a lot of neutrals, matte eye shadows.  I don't think that someone who has a lot of neutral, matte shadows already wouldn't get that much use out of it.  The shadows are really pigmented and have a great color payoff.  I give this palette 5 stars, in my opinion.
