Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner

Sparkles!!

Ok.. so I have this in Baked and Spandex. The Baked goes really well with the Copper colored 24/7 gel pencil! The Spandex one goes well over darker eyeliners (I usually use it over Zero 24/7 pencil). The picture they use to show the color is a little decieving, it makes it look like the glitter is in a COLORED liner base.. its actually in a CLEAR base (that dries pretty nicely). So you can kind of layer it on, to get the desired amount of sparkle that you want. I work at a night club, and i use just a little (usually lol) to brighten my eyes, since the lighting in the club is so dark. OH! and it stays put until you wash it off, and it washes off pretty easily. Have fun with it!!

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Transforming Potion

had to think outside the box.. or in this case, the tube!

i LOVE this stuff... not the packaging, or the brushes to be honest.. the brushes are a waste. i think it would be better packaged in a simple container with MAYBE a dropper. What i do is basically dump a drop or so out of the container, straight on the the pot of eyeshadow (in a small area, NOT the whole surface of the shadow!).. then i use a brush that i already have (small and flat) to mix it into more of a "paste".. then apply it that way. This also keeps the different colors of shadow from getting into the "potion"...i use it for both light(for more coverage all over the lid) and dark colors (as an eyeliner/smokey effect).. and this stuff doesnt move until you wash it off.

M.A.C. Eye Shadow

a few things

I use MAC eyeshadow (almost) exclusively.. i love that they have so many colors (almost too many to choose from sometimes!! lol)..i love that some of the colors (like the "fun" ones you buy to use on occasion) can last a long LONG time.. i love that they blend well and you can actually create "new" shades for yourself.. these are just a FEW things i love about them...and some of the reasons i've gotten my friends hooked on them (when they arent asking ME to just do their makeup for them!). One thing that not EVERYONE is aware of is that MAC has a program for "empties"... what you do is save up ANY MAC container (eyeshadow pots, lipgloss, lipsticks..even the other products) and when you get either 5 or 6 "empties" (i can NEVER remember if its 5 or 6! i just take a bunch in and they remind me..theeennn i forget again!) you take them to a MAC counter and they will give you a free product in return!! at a MAC Counter, i believe you can only get a lipstick..but at an actual MAC Store you can exchange them for other things!! considering what we pay for just ONE eyeshadow, its quite worth the trouble of stashing my empties away until i have enough to take them to the MAC Store..lol.
