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

applicator

 Swatches

swatched over bare skin - no primer

Top - Radium, Smog, Retrograde

Bottom - Sabbath, Demolition, Perversion

Top - Radium, Smog, Retrograde

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?

Ulta Haul

I stopped at Ulta on my adventure to pick up some fish food. I had a list of things in mind, so there were not too many impulse buys which is all too easy for me.

First I finally found Revlon Royal nail polish. I couldn't find it anywhere and had been looking for months! I also picked up two polishes from China Glaze's Metro collection: CG in the City and Trendsetter. I was looking for Orly's Fowl Play, but those seemed to be all gone.

China Glaze CG in the City, Revlon Royal, China Glaze Trendsetter

I also picked up Too Faced Absolutely Invisible Candlelight Powder and Urban Decay Sparkling Lickable Body Powder in Marshmallow.

I impulsively picked up two Wet N Wild palettes that I had been interested in trying. The first is Silent Treatment and the other is Comfort Zone.
