Out Now / Urban Decay Fall 2013

These beauties have now hit the shops!

Urban Decay has always been my favourite brand when it comes to eyeshadows and eye make up, in general; it's pretty exciting to see their collection expanding to lips and nail polishes too.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil

Long lasting and waterproof lipliners to define and prime the lips. They come in 16 shades and I already have my eyes on Ozone - a clearn pencil, ideal to use with any colour - and Native - a beautiful pale pink.

If these are just half as good as the 24/7 for eyes... I NEED one in every colour!!!

Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick

Creamy formula with an insane colour pay-off and shine finish; these are nourishing and moisturising with jojoba oil, avocado oil, cocoa butter and shea butter. 

Love the gunmetal and purple packaging and there is a wide range of 22 shades available... my picks? Liar - pinky-brown nude - and Fiend - muted rose.

Urban Decay Nail Color
Urban Decay actually started in 1996 with nails and lips products so this is the most exciting return to the Urban Decay family with 2 stunning colours with an urban vibe. Extremely durable and chip-resistant, they are also 3-free-formulated - without toluene, formaldehyde or DBP.
Vice is a deep purple with red and blue micro shimmer - Addiction is a metallic gunmetal with micro sparkles. Again, the packaging is uber-cool!


Urban Decay Naked Skin - Ultra Definition Pressed Finishing Powder
Well, call me boring but I'm super excited about this pressed powder. I love the Naked Skin liquid foundation and this sounds like the perfect match to set your make up.
It comes in a healthy 5 shades and with a cute drawstring pouch; weightless on the skin and with a semi-matte, luminous finish... I WANT!!!

Urban Decay B6 Vitamins-Infused Complexion Prep Spray
I'm a fan of the UD Setting sprays and trust them everytime I need my make up to last all day. This is actually a prep spray that can be used throughtout the day to freshen up your complexion.
It's full of antioxidant ingredients and also absorbs oil, reduce redness and minimize pores; free from oils and parabens... Here comes the SuperSpray (also suitable for men)!

Urban Decay Brow Box
A redesign for this best-selling brow kit. I never do my brows (thank you fringe!) but this wee box contains everything you need in a handy cute cube: 2 brow colours, wax, tweezers and 2 brushes. It's available on two shades and comes in the iconic purple packaging.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Anti-Aging
... and last but not least, the latest addition to the Eyeshadow Primer Potion line!
I simply rate the 'original' like the best eye primer that I have ever used and now it comes with anti-aging benefits. It promises the same 24hr crease free look plus contains ingredients that help prevent and repair wrinkles in 8 weeks. One for the test!

What do you think? This is a-collection-and-a-half and I'm excited for every single item... Are you going to buy anything from this collection?

Introducing / Urban Decay

After the release of the Naked 2 palette last week, I thought to write a small review about the products I have tried from this brand.

Let's start with one of the most popular...

Eyeshadow Primer Potion

This is a best seller and sought after product. The packaging has been recently re-designed and it comes in a squeeze tube now - really easy to dose the amount of product required.

This has, fast, become a staple in my make up bag (as I'm guessing many of you); if I do an eyeshadow look, I can't NOT use it because the difference it makes to the longevity of my make up is amazing.

You use it as a base and as you blend it you can feel it fix it into place and it won't budge. I can honestly say I have experience NO CREASE at all since using it.

I have the original formula which dries to a neutral colour but it comes in other 3 versions which have sparkles and can also be used as eyeshadow on their own: Eden, Sin and Greed.

Afterglow Glide-On Cheek Tint

This is a cream blush which is quite sheer at first but easily buidable. I'm well impressed with the formula: it melts into the skin, leaving a silky feeling. It contains Vitamin A, C and E which also nourish the skin. Personally, I like to use it as a lip stain too and I love the packaging; it's super sleek and super compact with a mirror, perfect for your handbag. Plus, the snake on the top appeals to the rock chick inside me! ;)

The shade I'm using now is Crush which you can say it's my 'safe' shade, ideal to make me look alive in the morning but I'm lusting after Score and Fetish too.

Dew Me - Moisturizing Makeup Setting Spray

 I have never used a setting spray before but I'm definitely converted now. First, you apply your make up and then mist face 2-4 times with this spray; it's totally weightless and feeling-wise you don't even notice any difference. The Dew Me version is specifically dedicated to combination skin in fact is oil and paraben free; also, you'll be happy to hear it's moisturising (I have only tried Lipcote - as a lipstick fixer - and it was so drying!!!).
Apparently, the Encapsulated Cooling Technology - behind it - works against humidity and heat and has the benefit of lowering the surface temperature of your skin.
I don't use it everyday but mainly when I go out and it will, definitely, come in handy for my wedding in Italy, you know... hot weather, hot emotions... I can use all the possible help!!! :)
Finally, I find it useful with powders,  to avoid the cakey look.
There's also the All Nighter (long lasting) and De-Slick (for oily skin) available on the market.

So, what do you think? What others Urban Decay products have you tried?
