Naked On The Run

There is just something about an all in one palette that always gets me. I'm forever looking for the perfect palette to take on the go and I think Urban Decay has come up with the one. 

Urban Decay's Naked on The Run has a beautifully large mirror, 5 wearable neutral eyeshadows, bronzer, blusher, highlighter, your lips but better gloss, mascara, and eyeliner. You really could get away with just this and a foundation or concealer. 

The Shadows:

Typical Urban Decay formula of blend-ability. 

The color range offers 2 neutral matte shades, 3 shimmer shades, and a larger highlight shade that can be used as a highlighter for the face as well. 

Not necessarily my favorite eyeshadow palette, but not bad and I will use it quite a bit. 

The Bronzer: 

A great matte bronzer for warming up the face or light contouring. 

I do think if you have a darker complexion this bronzer would not work for you. 

Hopefully they come up with a palette geared for darker complexions soon. 

The Highlight:

Beautiful with just enough shimmer. 

Might be too light for darker complexions. 

The Blush:

A fun pinky pop of color with a cool blue undertone.

The Mascara:
Not my favorite formulation of mascara, but will work in a pinch and it's full size!

The Eyeliner:
You also get a nice dark brown 24/7 glide on eye pencil in Stag.
The pencil is a smaller size, but you'll have plenty for vacations and touch ups.
I love the Urban Decay liners for their smudge-ability and long wear.

The Gloss:

The lip gloss is a beautiful your lips but better shade. 

I'm a fan of the naked glosses and you get a full size, not bad for $54!

For $54 the kit is a great value. My only real concern is the weight of it. While the packaging is durable and vey nice, it adds a lot of weight to a handbag. 

This would make a great present for a new makeup user as it'll have everything one would need. I also think this is perfect for women who don't want to fuss with their collection and just want a grab and go. 

Will you be grabbing this palette? What's your favorite on the run product?

Urban Decay Vice LTD Giveaway

Recently I visited the Urban Decay Flag Ship Store in Newport Beach, CA. Watch my vlog here. 

I went in with the intension to buy something for my viewers for the Holidays and picked up this beauty. 

The Urban Decay Vice Limited is exclusive to the Urban Decay Flag Ship store, at least that's what the employees told me. Apparently you might be able to find this online, but what can't you these days?

I feel that this vice palette is much better than this year's highly anticipated Vice 3. The shades in the Limited are very versatile and wearable. Pigmentation seems to be strong and typical of Urban Decay shadows.

Tom Ford Cocoa Mirage Dupe ON SALE!

I'm a major sucker for high end makeup products. My latest obsession... anything Tom Ford. 

Tom Ford Eye Color Quad 03 Cocoa Mirage

Swatch using my fingers. See photos below. 

This is what was left after the swatch on my arm. Talk about staying power. 

If your a makeup lover you can appreciate the quality and thought gone into each Tom Ford product. The packaging is sleek and functional. It feel expensive and luxurious. The color pay off from the shadows are rich, creamy, and blend able. 

Cocoa Mirage was my pick since I'm forever a neutrals gal. Anything that seems a bit more practical when one is spending $79 before tax on 4 eyeshadows is a must. Cocoa Mirage is the most basic and beautiful neutral palette I've come across lately in the high end makeup lines. 

There is just a  touch of shimmer and sheen. No crazy disco ball palette here. The shades are incredibly wearable and perfect for any woman. You can take the palette from day to night, natural to smokey. 

If you can't justify spending $80 on a palette, I have good news! One of my favorite neutral palettes is on sale for $16 and if your a Sephora VIB you can get an additional 20% off right now! I did a whole review and makeup tutorial using the Pulp Fiction Palette from Urban Decay. I'm also giving one away in my latest Friday Favorites Video. 

I HIGHLY encourage you to purchase the Pulp Fiction Palette while you still can and at such an amazing price! The shadow quality is better than most Urban Decay eyeshadows including all the naked palettes. The formulation is rich, creamy, and super pigmented. 

Watch my full review & tutorial video here.

Look at the comparison of both palettes. You also get an extra 2 shade in the Pulp Fiction one. Urban Decay is on top and Tom Ford is on bottom. 

Also don't forget to enter my giveaway in today's video. You can have a chance to win your own Limited Edition Pulp Fiction eyeshadow palette.

Stay Cool Honey Bunny... Pulp Fiction Makeup By Urban Decay

When I saw the press release for Urban Decay's new Pulp Fiction Collection, I died a little. Do I really need another neutral eyeshadow palette or red lipstick? YES. Yes I Do!

Just look at the kick ass packaging! Even the boxes are beautiful and tough.

Make sure to check out the in-depth review & tutorial on all 3 products on my youtube channel. Click Here to watch.

The quote on the packaging makes me happy every time I read it. Being a child of the late 80's and 90's Pulp Fiction holds a dear place in my heart. 

I was seriously suppressed at how large the mirror was and how useful it is. It doesn't distort or anything. 

The shades are just so beautiful and so richly pigmented and creamy. Details of the shadows and swatches in my video.

The brush is actually really good for brow bone highlighting. 

This lipstick combination is classy and sexy all in one. My husband about freaked out when he saw me wearing this. It's super creamy, hydrating, and lasts a really long time too.  The name Mrs. Mia Wallace is pretty awesome too. Who doesn't want to be as cool as Mrs. Wallace?

Just beautiful right?! Even if your not a fan of Pulp Fiction, you can get the classic & sexy look with these really highly pigmented, beautiful to wear shades and products. I'll be reaching for all 3 items quite a bit.
