1. Urban Lash Kit
2. 24/7 Shadow Pencil Stash
3. Ink For Eyes in Binge and Empire
4. Matte Shadow in Chronic
Delinquent, Rehab, Juju, Sin, and Clash. |
These swatches and lighting really don't do these shadow pencils justice! The color glides on effortlessly and is so vibrant that they nearly jump out at you. I thought my Color Tattoo cream shadows were awesome until I fell in love with these guys. You get the convenience of cream color with the precision of a pencil. These are THE BEST! Now on sale at Urban Decay from $34 to only $12!
These cream eyeliners aren't bad. I love the deep, indigo blue of Binge and the elegant, aubergine hue of Empire. They can stand to be slightly more opaque (I had to build a few layers for optimal opacity) and can be a little bit softer. The angled brushes that they came with were high-quality, however were too soft, in my opinion. I would recommend using a stiffer eyeliner brush, such as the Sonia Kashuk bent eyeliner brush. I'm glad I paid $7 for these instead of $22!

This little guy was on sale for $3. How could I resist? Chronic is a soft, earthy shade of green tea that I think is perfect for the transition from winter to spring. It's applies smooth as silk with pigmentation that packs a punch, a consistent quality of all UD shadows.
I couldn't wait to play with my new makeup! This is the look I created today using Clash, Rehab, and Binge:
I've been wearing this shadow for 8 hours now with no creasing or fading. Yay! |
I look forward to creating some cool looks and tutorials with these guys. :D Oh, and of course UD decides to have a sale AFTER I make all my purchases. I'm out of juice so I won't be shopping anytime soon, but you all can definitely take advantage. Just enter code: FFSPRING12 for 20% off your next order. Orders over $50 ship free! Happy shopping!

Haha, when I saw Clash I knew you'd incorporate it in your look! Really pretty on you! Too bad I don't live in the US so I can't take advantage of the F&F gah! But those of you can should DEFINITELY raid their stock!
ReplyDeleteYou know me so well! Yeah, they're sooooooo worth it! I'm almost tempted to purchase a second set as a backup!
DeleteI love the big pencils! Sadly, the ones that I tried always crease, so I don't like spending money on them. :/
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a problem with these so far! :D
