Urban Decay Series: Urban Ammo Eye Palette

Here is part two of the Urban Decay series. I like the look of this palette more than the actual shadows. The palette is made of a sturdy cardboard with a flocked design. The design looks great and for some reason, I just love the fuzzy feel.

I feel that these colors are nice, and they go well together, but for some reason, it just doesn't tickle my fancy. What do you think of this palette? Do you like any of these colors?

Urban Decay Series: Show Pony Palette

Today is the first day of my Urban Decay series. I had this planned before UD announced their move to start selling their products in China (and then changing their mind). I do not want to talk about that issue as everyone has already read enough about it. So I am just going to share some swatches with you and you can decided about how you feel and enjoy the pretties.

This is a pretty nice palette. The colors are work well together, and all of the shadows are very pigmented. I would have to say my favorite color from this palette is toasted. It is a wonderful color to use all on its own when you want to wear some sort of makeup but not put much work into it.

What do you think of this palette? Do you have a go to effortless look color?

Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Swatches

Finally. I have had this post done forever and just never published it. No reason. So lets just get this started! =]

I just want to start out by saying I love these. Seriously I can't tell you enough about how wonderful they are, but I will try anyway. I was never very good at applying eyeliner properly. I once tried a gel liner and thought I found my holy grail. Then I tried these and I think this is my new holy grail eyeliner! When I first tried them I was very much intimidated. Once these are set they are -SET- I was very much afraid that with my lack of skills and the seeming permanence of these just made it so they sat in a container with all my eyeshadow brushes longing to create a beautiful graphic winged liner on my face. One night I must have been insane because I thought I could actually use these successfully. (see here and here)To my surprise I did and an unhealthy love/obsession was born. I have six of the eleven colors:

Radium - bright blue with silver sparkle
Sabbath - deep matte navy
Smog - deep brown with golden shimmer and iridescent sparkle
Demolition - deep matte brown
Retrograde - dark purple with purple sparkle
Perversion - carbon black

Top to Bottom - Radium, Sabbath, Smog, Demolition, Retrograde, Perversion

What do you think of these Urban Decay eyeliners? What is your favorite color?

Do you prefer a different eyeliner medium (pencil, gel, etc)? Have any tips or trick?
