Urban Decay Ammo Palette

Nice variety of highly pigmented shadows

First off, I love love love UD eyeshadows. They are super pigmented and come in an endless variety of cool colors. This box has a nice variety of shadows, both dramatic and everyday wearable. I have super oily lids, so I pair my shadows with primer potion, but for those that are less crease prone these will last well even without. I took off one point because the super glittery shadows are prone to fallout (but nothing that can't be fixed and or avoided with a nice fan brush, or covering the under-eye area while applying.)

St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub

Good, economical scrub

I use this two to three times a week. It keeps my skin looking smooth and bright. It's pretty gritty, so be careful not to rub too hard or for too long. The scrubby bits like to get stuck in my hair if I'm not careful, so I only use this in the shower where it's easy to rinse everything off. Overall, it's a good price and a good product, but, like any exfoliant, don't overdo it!

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

THE best eye primer

The rest of my skin is very dry, but my eyelids are always super oily; all types of eyeshadow and eyeliner crease or disappear on me within hours — even waterproof. UDPP is a saving grace. With it my shadow and liner stay all day, or at least most of it ( no shadow is immune to my watery, allergy-prone eyes, primer or no.)
