Urban Decay Peroxide

Hey,

Just want to show you a lipstick I got with some of my Birthday vouchers! I've picked up 3 lipsticks so far with my vouchers and the first I want to show you and swatch was from Urban Decay called Peroxide (£13.00). Here's a little bit from Urban Decay about their lipsticks:

'Decadently creamy, long-lasting color, a wide variety of textures, and a sweet lick of crème caramel... our Lipstick is a weapon of love. Leaving no shade unturned, our huge assortment of colors and textures tempt you to stray from an otherwise predicable palette. The luxuriously creamy formula nourishes and protects lips with Vitamins A, C, and E. Hyaluronic Spheres (found naturally in the body) are added to stimulate cellular function, prevent dehydration, and fill-in lines and wrinkles-now, how many Lipsticks can do that?! The teardrop-shape bullet (etched with an Urban Decay logo) is infused with a decadent crème caramel scent and flavor. Yum'

Well firstly, you can see the packaging in the image below, it certainly does look like a weapon. The packaging is certainly extreme!

My shade peroxide is decribed as a palest pink, but as you can see below the photo's look my pink/beige in colour. But I think it looks more pink in real life on my lips.

It's a very easy to wear and apply lippy. Also look at the detail on the actual lipstick...cute.

For £13.00 it is on par with MAC and I have to say I prefer to texture of this too most MAC lipsticks. It feels creamy and leaves my lips feeling lovely once applied, due to the colour and texture its very easy to just apply on the run. I would buy it again....but and its a big BUT! I cannot stand the smell. It is sooooo overpowering and sickly sweet. Urban Decay say 'creme caramel...yum', no its not! Why do companies feel the need to make everything so scented. It's such a shame as I love the texture and application, I will end up using it but I would not repurchase.

Have you tried Urban Decay lipsticks?

Thank You

The Elusive Urban Decay Naked Palette....

Hey,

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw on lipglossiping.com that Debenhams had the Urban Decay Naked palette in stock and with the 10% discount I had to take a look.

In the end I decided to take a look in my Debenhams in Milton Keynes instead of ordering online and low and behold they had it in stock!!!
I absolutely love it! I am sure you have all seen swatches or reviews on this but for those who haven't I'll just do a quick run through. The palette itself comes nicely packed with a small Eye Primer Potion and inside the palette you get a lovely eye shadow brush as well. I got mine for £28.50 but it is normally £32.00. Though this is now out of stock online at Debenhams the Milton Keynes store has stock, so if you are searching for it maybe give your local Debs a ring.

The palette contains 12 gorgeous and rich neutral shades that are highly pigmented, that can create anything beautiful day/office look to a smokey evening eye.

My favourite shades so far are Sidecar, Toasted, Hustle and Darkhouse.

I have also done a little EOTD for you:

Products used:

• Lily Lolo Peepo
• Lily Lolo Blondie Concealer
• UD Eye Primer Potion
• UD Naked palette Virgin, Sin, Sidecar, Toasted and Hustle
• The Body Shop Divide & Multiply Mascara in Brown.

Have you got the palette? What are your favourite shades or looks to create?

Thanks
