My Urban Decay collection, part 1
As I mentioned yesterday, Urban Decay is my favorite high-end brand. It's probably my favorite brand overall, because to date I have absolutely loved every product I've tried. UD was the makeup I dreamed of owning when I started getting into makeup, but since I had been finding all the amazing indie companies I loved, it seemed ridiculous to pay the prices. Luckily, Haute Look has Urban Decay on sale now and again, so almost all the UD I've ever had has been from there. Since I just got my Urban Decay order from Haute Look yesterday, I thought I would go ahead and show you my whole UD collection and share my thoughts.
The pictures are all with flash in my bedroom, no natural light. It was really cloudy outside today. While the pictures may be really shadowy, they are very color accurate.
I was most excited to get a 24/7 Set, "Stereophonic", because I had never tried a 24/7 liner. It's a great little set, with four 24/7 mini liners, and one glitter liner. I got it on Haute Look for... get this... $7. The pencils from left to right are Zero, Crash, Underground, Gunmetal, and the glitter liner is Midnight Cowboy.
The 24/7 liners are as amazing as everyone says... the glitter liner is very coarse, you'd have to use it over a regular liner to make it look ok. It is nowhere near as good as my Collection 2000 Glam Crystals liners.
I also love their liquid liner I have, in the shade Lucky. I think I paid $7 for this off Haute Look. I am AWFUL at liquid liner, but it's the easiest to apply I've ever used. It's expensive at $18, but in my opinion, you're getting the quality you pay for. I want to get Ecstasy, a gorgeous purple shade.
I got the Big Buddha kabuki brush for $9. I haven't used it yet, but it is HUGE.
UD Ultraglide glosses are my favorites glosses, even though the name sounds like it should be for tampons instead of lip gloss. I got Lust and Deep from Haute Look a while ago for $5 each. I somehow broke the applicator off of Deep as soon as I opened it. This time, I got Heat, and another Deep, for around $4 each. Guess what... this Deep's applicator popped off too. Weird, but I just squeezed it all out into some empty little containers so I can still use it.
From left to right are Lust, Deep, and Heat.
So broken :(
I took more pictures than I thought I would, and there's a few things I forgot to photograph, so I decided to cut this up into 2 posts, and I'll get the second one done after I wake up. Also, if you didn't notice, there's some polls on the side- I can't decide which companies I want to try next, so you guys can decide for me :)
