In love with Urban Decay Liplove

I’m obsessing over Urban Decay's new Liplove glosses. The packaging may remind you of Lancome's Juicytubes. These luxurious glosses are unlike any other infused with apricot kernel seed oil, millet oil, vitamin c, jojoba oil and honey. All that makes for a very moisturizing lip product. Plus, they smell amazing!

My favorite shade is Failbait which is a coral shade.  Since these glosses don’t

B-day Shopping Haul & stuff

Geia sas lovely ladies! Well a few days later i am finally posting my birthday shopping haul. I was actually surprised at how little i found at the mall (besides Sephora of course, i could go broke there lol). I was happy to cross TWO items off my wishlist! So to start off with Sephora, i bought an Urban Decay eyeshadow color (Honey) that i've been wanting ever since watching THIS youtube video [of course i love it, its ancient Egyptian! :) ].

So i bought it for $18, which is a crazy price yes but i doubt i'll have to buy it again for like 20yrs so i think i'm good lol. I have always had an obsession with gold so this is no surprise to me that i had to have this. Also the packaging is cute.

How pretty i can't wait to use it!!

Next up another Urban Decay, Primer Potion in Eden; which is a matte nude color as its described. This is my 1st time ever buying a eyeshadow primer & it was $18, though i do have a sample of Two-Faced Shadow Insurance. I like Eden so far the only thing i wish was that its color was a bit darker so match my skin a little better; since i generally only use a little eyeshadow. Nothing worse than ghosty eyes! Which is another thing, i also hate when i see girls/women with white eyeshadow on or pale blue even, it makes them all ghostly/washed-out looking & i just wish i could tell them that without sounding mean lol.

But anyhoo...now onto my Forever21 items: 1st up we have these adorable ballerina flats. Which i am in love with!

$14.50, a little pricey for F21 i thought but since they are wonderful i ignored that fact.

...Oh so cute!

Forever21's jewelry is always so cheap these were just $3.50 & i havta love that! But its also cheaply made, its true you get what you pay for on this one. You can't expect these things to last, but you can enjoy em while you have em! And hey an advantage of them being cheaply made is they are very light-weight!

Next i bought a few tanks, they were only $3.50 & $2.50. What a great deal since tanks are so functional.

Here is my favorite one, this one unfortunately was $12.50, even though its twice as thin as the others but go figure. I love love love the rose & i paired it with the pink tank from above.

This week i also found out i will have to get my wisdom teeth removed, one of them is really starting to cause me pain & a dentist previously told me i would need them out because they will mess up my straight teeth; ahhhh!!! Has anyone had them out already? I'm kinda nervous about it, i heard it hurts really horrible after & that the gas they knock you out with is like a truth serum & makes you tell your secrets haha. I don't know about that but i'm still nervous i've never been unconscious before & it kinda terrifies me not to be in control of myself...

Then in the morning is Portugal & my Cristiano's 1st game of the World Cup...kali epitixia(good luck) Cristiano mou!

Also may i point out how great his back looks here lol, i totally think guys backs are really sexy(in shape of course lol) you can see his muscles & i'm drooling haha okay i'm done grossing you guys out, unless of course you agree with me LOL.

Talk to you guys soon i have lots more posts i have to get around to!

Genie In A Bottle

I don’t run. Walk briskly? Sometimes. In rare instances, I’ve been known to jog…whilst being chased by leash-less animals or trying to catch the bus when I’m running late for work. But run? Uh-uh.

On the flip side, my eye makeup loves to run. Yeah, child…seems like every shadow and liner I bring home has a case of the can’t-sit-still. A few hours after I’ve painstakingly applied said makeup to my lids, the color starts to migrate south. And all that you can do is clean yourself up, and wonder how long you’ve been walking around with raccoon eyes. Right? Wrong.

A few weeks ago, I decided to try Urban Decay’s Eyeshadow Primer Potion. And let me tell you – it stopped my vagabond eye makeup dead in its tracks. The primer works in three ways: eye shadow and liner last longer, color is more vibrant, and there’s no creasing. All you do is swipe it on your lids before applying eye makeup. It dries almost instantly – and a little goes a very long way.

One tube of the Eyeshadow Primer Potion will knock you back $15, but Urban Decay also sells an Eyeshadow Primer Potion Duo for $25 – so you can stock up or share your beauty booty with a friend in need.

Urban Decay is also available at Sephora.

Don’t Hate Me Cuz I Get Free Stuff

One of the perks of having a beauty blog is that I get free products to test and review. So while my trips to the makeup counters, drugstores, and beauty boutiques are less frequent than in the past – once in a while, a product makes such an impression on me that I’ll gladly reach into my wallet. Urban Decay Lip Envy is one such product (I heart the ‘Envious’ shade).

This stain provides a long-lasting wash of color that dries to a semi-matte finish. Swipe it on lips for a “I just ate a popsicle – aren’t I cute?” look. Or layer it for a deep, inky stain.

Lip Envy comes in inkwell-esque packaging, and has a delicate vanilla scent.

Spoiled Pretty tip: after applying Lip Envy (in Envious) to lips, add lip balm, for a natural look; or layer clear gloss on top, for a sexy lacquered effect. Either way, you'll make every girl in the room pink with envy!

The Bluest Eye

This past weekend, I traveled to my parents’ house to spend some quality with the fam. My sister, who is still at home on ‘winter break’ from college (remember those days?) was rocking the most amazing eye makeup eva – and I couldn’t stop staring. Finally, I asked what she was wearing – and she produced a brand-new Sephora bag with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Deviant and Sephora Waterproof Mascara in Blue 02.

She was gracious enough to let me test them out; and I was so amazed by how beautifully bright my eyes looked that - at 7:30pm - I ran out to Sephora to buy my own.

Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide on Pencil is a creamy liner that effortlessly glides over your lid. The color is blendable for the first 30 seconds, then dries to a long-lasting finish that lasts all day and all night. Available in twelve shades, these pencils can be used for a hint of color – or more liberally, for a theatrical effect.

Sephora Waterproof Mascara is perfect for mascara lovers who hate smudges and smears. It’s a little on the dry side, but I can’t deny how it makes my eyes POP when paired with the aforementioned liner. Plus, it’s only $10 – so you can justify buying vibrant turquoise mascara.

Welcome Matte

Matte eye shadows are the new big thing (or at least one of them) this fall. Both Benefit and Urban Decay recently unveiled new shades of shadow completely devoid of shimmer. But don’t be fooled - these powders are sexy, sophisticated, and never dull.

“These mattes have richer pigments and a much silkier feel,” says makeup artist Jenna Anton.

Add some wow to your brows by taking a cue from Natalie Portman, our modern-day Audrey Hepburn. Sweep pale, matte eye shadow along the base of your eyebrows to enhance the whites of your eyes, add crispness to the line of your brows, and highlight bone structure.
