Urban Decay Is Here!!!!!

My recent Urban Decay Purchase!!!

Urban Decay Loose Pigment Eye Shadow 
Price: $20 for 1.2g/ 0.04 oz 


In order:

Shattered- aqua-blue, very intense and pigmented, with a frost finish.
Graffiti- grassy green, doesn't go on as bold as I expected.
Protest- very dark forest green with silver shimmer.
Gunmetal- dark gray with silver shimmer.
Goddess-  the website describes it as a "midnight-blue" however it is closer to black. It does have blue micro glitter which reflects in the light. (One of my favorites)
Smog- bronze with copper, very pigmented.
x- peachy color with a gold reflection.
Asphyxia- light fuchsia with purple reflecting through.

Overall, they have a very nice color and are pigmented. However, the darker colors are a bit looser and messier. I am not a fan of the packaging because I use my own brushes therefore, it becomes a problem to take out the product.  But if you are not going to be using brushes and are using the applicator they come with then you will have no problem.
Urban Decay only offers 12 colors, which is limited, however if they come out with more colors I plan on buying them. The quality of the pigments are very good and when you apply the color it is very close to what you see in the package.




I applied the pigments over NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in the shade Cottage Cheese. This gave a neutral and consistent color to work over.

With Flash 


                                                                Without Flash


Applicator 



24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil 
Price: $17

Covet- jewel tone teal with a slight shimmery finish. 

In the photo the thin line is done without any color under, the thicker one has the NYX color under (same color used above). 

I love the 24/7 Glide- On pencils because they are very pigmented and smooth to apply. You do not have to keep gliding the pencil over and over to achieve the color. They also last very long and quick to apply. 

Urban Decay offers 9 travel size pencils for $36. (Not bad for 9 different colors). 
They recently offered the 15- year Anniversary 24/7 Pencil Set. This set has 15 full size pencils  (6 are new shades) with a sharpener.  The price is $92. I am definitely considering buying them!!!!



Smoke Out Eye Pencil
Price-$6

So if you are looking for a smokey eye, these are the ones to get. The pencils have two sides, one the pencil and the other has a little sponge in order to smudge the color. The color is matte (no shimmer), and are powdery which allows for a long lasting smokey look. 


Green Goddess-  Forest green 
Maui Wowie-  Khaki 


Big Fatty Colored Mascara
Price- $17

                                       Flipside- Bright Teal


                                  Electric Blue- Bright Turquoise (almost royal blue- hard to see in the photo)

So these mascaras are very bright. I have not tried them yet, so I can't comment on the quality but I really love the colors and how bright they are. It will be fun to try them!!  

Until next time,
The Wicked
