Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick Review

Hey there Guys,

I have just gotten around to doing this review, although I have had this lipstick since maybe late Jan. But I do have a lot of lipsticks, that are all fairly new and needed tried and tested. Until the other day when I pulled it out and wore it.

I have got Cat Fight shade in the new-ish Urban Decay Lipsticks. Its fuchsia, with a slight cool undertone although on me its looks bright fuchsia, as I am so pale. It's a colour, that I absolutely love to wear and wear this sort of colour daily, when not in work. These cost £15 from Urban Decay, Debenhams and House of Fraser.

Pro's
This lipstick is creamy smooth and so highly pigmented. It finishes in a sheen, but not like the MAC creme sheen, so much more pigmented.

Con's
The only downfall for this lipstick is that it feathers on me. I know I could wear a lipliner, but I prefer not to have too. So in theory it is my own fault.


I love this lipstick and I do plan on getting more of the collection.

Have you's got any of the shades? What do you think of them?

I will post a lip swatch later, as I have a cold sore atm.

Glitter Liners

Hey Guys, 

I was going to wait until I done a few themed weeks, one being all about the eyes. But I have decided that it just could not wait. 

As a girl, I can be prone to be a bit of a magpie when it comes to glitter, so when I found out that Collection had a line of glitter eye liner I had to check them out. Although I do remember when they first came out a while back, they released only a few colours. Now they have a lot of colours, near enough 10 shades I think. 
So whilst out a couple of days ago, I decided to pick one up, as I had watched a youtube video, where they are being duped for the Urban Decay heavy metal glitter liners. 
As I have a few really old Urban Decay liners, I thought I would do a little review on both of them and I also found a 17, starry eyes glitter liner. 


The Urban Decay, Heavy Metal liner £13-£14 get them here

I got these in a set of 3 quite a while back for Christmas, although I can only find 2 of them. I have Baked which is a bronze glitter and Stage Dive which is a lovely green colour. These dry quickly and I used to love putting these on top of a black eyeline to give a cat eye look extra ooomph. As these have a clear base to them, they can go on anything really. They do have a gorgeous range of colours, everything from pinks and purples to golds and silvers. 

 

The Collection Glam Crystals are around £2.98-£2.99 buy here
There are around 10-12 shades in this line, I found that Asdas instore had a lot more shades than anywhere else. I have the shade Va va voom, which is a pink, green and it has a hint of gold and silver in a clear base. This looks amazing with a cat eye, this is by far my favourite shade. It dries quickly and stays put. The shades range again from pinks and purples to mixed colours and silvers, golds. 




The 17 Starry Eyes, you get these from Boots. 
 I can't find a link to these, but I know I only got it last year, so they should still be instore. I got mine on an offer with my boots advantage card. This seems to have a dark base and a dark silver/gray glitter. I love this for when I want full on sparkle, I also love that I don't need to put on a normal eyeliner first. 

These are only 3 of the many glitter eyeliners out there on the market. These are amazing to add just that extra bit of sparkle to any look. I would recommend the collection one, as they are so inexpensive and they do last a long time. So you should all go and try them, I'm not sure if they are anything like the Urban Decay ones, since my UD ones are a bit too old for me to say they are dupes or not. 

Have you got any glitter liner favourites, leave a comment to let me know which ones.

Until next time

Saturday Dinner Date FOTN

Hey Guys and Dolls, 

Hope you are all having a fabulous Valentines Weekend. My lovely other half took me out last night for dinner. 

So this is what I done to my face for going out for the dinner. 

This was the final look, I came up with. 

I used my usual face products of Fashionista Vanishing cream primer, Rimmel match perfection foundation and the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. I finished my base with a light dusting of MUA pressed powder. I also used Benefit Hoola Bronzer and the glossybox glossy rosewood blusher. 







 


On my eyes I used Urban Decay primer potion to prime my eyes and the patted on Concretes Smut eye mineral shadow and on the outer corner I used Doe-eyed by Concrete too, Review here. I lined my eyes with Be a Bombshell and Soap and Glory smoulder Kohl, then finished with lashings of Maybelline Smokey eyes mascara. My eyebrows I done with the new PS.Love brow pencil in light, I got this in a recent primark trip.







 
 
I finished the look with one of my favourite lipsticks Urban Decay Catfight. I did mix some of a lighter pink lipstick, to give it more of a romantic colour.

Hope you all like this look. 







Blog soon

Saturday Night: Face Of The Night #1

Hey My Lovelies. 

This is just a super quick post on the make up I wore out on the 8th February.

This is how I had my make up on Saturday night.

 I had a soft smokey purple eye, I used my Mac shadows in Sable and Sketch and lined my eyes with Be a Bombshell felt tip liner and on my bottle waterline, I used my Soap and Glory purple eyeliner that I got in a christmas set. I then used plenty Smokey mascara by Maybelline. 
For my eyebrows I used my Accessorise Eyebrow kit.  

Please Excuse the pout

On my face I used the Urban Decay foundation in 3.5, after I had moisturised and primed my skin by using the Vanishing Cream by Fashionista. I used a blush by The Balm and contoured using Soap and Glory. I concealed my blemishes and undereye bags with the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer. 
On my lips I used OCC lip tar in Anime.


Hope you like these kind of post. 

Bye guys.

Lipstick Junkie

Hey Guys and Dolls, 


Recently I have became an absolute lipstick junkie. Every little shopping/browsing trip has had me buying a new lipstick. 

I have bought every sort of lipstick from a £15 one to ones that cost as little as £1. I have gone super crazy with them. 

Firstly I have bought a Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in the colour catfight. This was bought purely for the name, as I am a proper cat lady in the making. But when I saw the colour I fell in love with it. Its a beautiful deep pink colour. I bought mine from Jenners in Edinburgh, you can buy it here. 

Next up I bought a matte lipstick from MUA. These little babies cost a mere £1, you cant get a lot for that nowadays. I love the normal formula of the £1 lipsticks, but these ones just don't deliver as much of a punch as the normal ones. I was quite disappointed in it. I got the wild berry shade, which looked like it would be a gorgeous dark reddy purple colour. It wasn't anything near as dark as that. The lipstick was very drying and patchy on the lips.

The other £1 lipstick I have is a little pink number, I got whilst out in town with my Mammy Bear. I got it whilst in a shop called Tiger. Not sure if they are anywhere else in the UK. But its just a little bright pink lippy that looks great.

Then I went out and bought a little hello kitty lipstick, mainly for the packaging. But the colour was absolutely gorgeous. Its a dark red colour. I'm not sure where these are available to buy online, but you can pick them in Primark and some B'N'S stores they cost £1.99. 

I then went a little bit crazy whilst looking at the Collection stands in superdrug. I got 2 of the Little Mix lipsticks, I got the Perrie (a dark purple mauve colour) and Jade ( a pinky nude colour), they are gorgeous, great pigmentation and they are so creamy. They cost £2.99 each from superdrug.

The last 2 lipsticks I have gotten recently are more Collection lipsticks but a different line of lipsticks they have out. These ones are from their Deluxe range. I got the colours Talullah (a light pink colour) and Prohibition ( a dark pink/red shade), these cost £3.99 normally but boots have them on offer, just now for £2.99. 

The last lipstick I want to speak about in a lip tar by OCC. I got it whilst buying some other things in a blog sale. I got the colour Anime, which a gorgeous hot pink.  I got it off of a make up artist who is moving to Singapore soon, so was selling her work make up. There is no link for this but here is a selection of OCC make up in Selfridges.


What are your favourite lipsticks?
Bye Guys

High street VS High End #1

Hey Girls, 

Hope you all had a great weekend. I have a new series starting on this blog, called high street vs high end. Its basically just going to be dupes of high end products. 

For this one, I have MUA's dupe of an Urban Decay Palette. 
So in the UD corner, we have the Smoked Palette and in the MUA corner we have the Smokin Palette. 

These are two very similar in colours palettes. The first noticeable difference is the packaging. The MUA is in the normal black plastic packaging, where as  UD uses a gorgeous black zip closing packaging that has a massive mirror attached. 
Also the prices are very, very different. The UD smoked is priced at £35, where as MUA is priced at very purse friendly £6. 

What is included in the Palette?
Both palettes have 10 eye-shadows and a black eye pencil.
The UD one came with a sample sized eye primer and a booklet on different eye looks you can make with the shadows. 

Pigment, texture, blendability

Some swatches so you can see the colour difference.

Both palettes have pretty similar colours in them. The colours all have names, they both have a mixture of mattes and shimmer. They have matte cream, nude and black. The shimmers range from beautiful jewel tones the UD ones are more black toned colours. They also have some bronze colours and silver/greys. 
UD shadows are buttery soft and blend seamlessly. The MUA ones are a bit more chalky on some of the shadows, but they are soft and blend lovely too. Although they are not pigmented as the UD ones. 


Round up 
MUA have made a very good dupe of Smoked, although some of the colours are a little off, but lovely all the same. The eye liner that came with the palette is the best I have seen on the high street in a long time. It is creamy and pigmented, although it came without a lid.. downfall there for that. The palette is great for the price and would be a great start to smoky eyes for learners or beginners. All you need is in the palette apart from mascara. 

The UD palette is amazing, I really can not fault it. The shadows are amazing and the smooth and silky soft. I love it.

I will post some pictures later.
