Who thought DECAY-ing would look so Good


I really like Sephora because they have every essential that a girl could really ever need or want. Also if you sign up and create an account with Sephora.com you get to earn points and use them for certain items and on top of that you get a free gift from them on your Birthday! Who doesn't like free? Anyways I LOVE LOVE Urban Decay's collection of makeup. I love the vibrant colors they have and there packaging is very trendy. I have a couple of the Urban Decay Eye Shadow Palettes but today I'll be discussing Urban Decay's Sustainable Shadow Box Palette. This palette was a gift and I use it everyday, no joke. First off it comes in this really adorable bamboo case that has one bolt on the left corner so the cover can swivel up and down which I thought was sort of unique. The cover has a lot of cute, modern designs on the front from butterflies, swirls and where ever your imagination might take you. Inside you will find 10 different Urban Decay Eye Shadows(5 on the top and 5 on the bottom with a gap in the middle where the eye shadow brush goes). On the left side there is a small mirror which is helpful but honestly I never use it because its way to small for my big ole eyes! ha. The colors are YDK(Bronze color), Flipside( Deep Turquoise color), Grifter(Pinkish purple color), VZI(White color), Twice Baked(Brown color), Midnight Cowboy Rides Again(Light bronze color), Flash(Purple color), Oil Stick(Black color), Kiddie Pool(Sky blue color), and Half Baked(Gold color). Haha, yes they have some unique names for there eye shadows. All of these colors have glitter or a shimmer so if you don't like eye shadows with a lot of bling than this palette might not be for you. I really don't use the eyeshadow brush that came with this as I did not like how it felt on my eye lids so I use a softer eyeshadow brush for application. This palette also comes with a small tube of Urban Decay's eyeshadow primer potion. This is another item that I will rave about from Urban Decay. The primer makes a huge difference when you use it before you apply your eyeshadow. The use of the primer will actually give you the color you see in the palette, I have had bad experiences from other brands of eyeshadow where I see a color but when applied it looks nothing like the color it was in the palette. This primer and eyeshadow from this line will give you the color you see which is a plus in my book and the color will last pretty much all day long. Amazing, I know! Give this a go and you'll be hooked on Urban Decay :)

  2. Hmm, good question I'll give it a try and let you know. I know that when I do take a shower and wash my face I can still see a little of the color under my eyes close to my lash line which I have to remove with make up remover. Good question ! Hopefully I can give you an answer later this week. Thanks for viewing :)
