Late Springtime Smokey Eye

Hello Everyone!


I've been wearing a pastel and neutral colors most for most of the Spring. Yesterday I switched things up by creating a smokey eye. Typically I wear smokey eye makeup during the Fall and Winter, but I will wear it occasionally during the Spring and Summer. 


I haven't used my Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette in a few months so I took it out to create this Late Springtime Smokey Eye.


I wore Victoria's Secret Velvet Liquid Lipstick in this red shade (I forgot the name). I like to wear smokey eye makeup paired with a red lip.

Everyday Neutral: Urban Decay Naked Reloaded Palette


Overall I love all these palettes. Naked 2 was my favorite for years, but honestly all these palettes are unique in there own way. It can be hard to choose which is my favorite with all these great choices!



- If you want to create daily looks, I would go
  Original Naked (if you have it since it's been 
  discontinued. I'm unsure if Naked Original is still 
  available), Naked Reloaded and Naked Heat.


- If you want to create sultry smokey eyes, date night,
  evening looks I would go with Naked 2 and Naked
  Smoky.


- If you want to create a romantic soft eye makeup
  look I would go with Naked 3


- If you're new to color and want to try something
  different or you're looking for a beautiful eye
  shadow Palette to use during the holidays i.e.
  Thanksgiving, Christmas, I would go with Naked
  Cherry.

Urban Decay Perversion

Hello Everyone!


Last Monday when I checked the mail, I had a surprise PR Sample from Urban Decay! If you didn't hear UD recently just released their Waterproof Perversion Mascara. I've been wearing the Perversion Mascara for years, so I was glad to hear UD made a waterproof version available. How cute is the Trio PR Sample UD?!










Product Details

Get bigger, blacker, badder lashes with our ultra-creamy, lengthening and volumizing mascara. So intense you might need a safe word, Perversion glides on and gets you sexy in one stroke. (Yet it won’t quit until you say when.) It’s insane how black it is…the purest, deepest, most intense black color imaginable. 

Perversion has a creamy, full-bodied texture that’s not too dry, not too wet. This allows just the right amount of “pull” so it glides through lashes. The result: incredible control for insane lashes. Go ahead and pile on coat after coat. Want to apply more before you go out at night? No problem. Even if it’s been all day since you applied, more Perversion always means more beautiful lashes. Our formula NEVER gets brittle or clumpy.  


Perversion Mascara contains Hairdensyl, a complex blend of proteins and amino acids—including marine glycogen, known to stimulate lash growth. Honey extract provides deep nourishment, sea idrolized elastine stimulates the hair follicle, and marine collagen protects. 

The twisted trim on the high-tech, volumizing brush latches on to each lash to separate and define; finally, a volumizing mascara with a clean, clump-free finish. It pulls through lashes smoothly and lays down a generous amount of product. No need to wiggle the wand or maneuver it at all different angles! 

If you need to apply in public, you’ll look good holding Perversion. We emblazoned our gorgeous, highly metallized black tube with a big purple “Perversion” and our tagline: “Bigger. Blacker. Badder.”

Urban Decay is beauty with an edge™
Urban Decay is 100% cruelty-free. 
Fill Weight: 12 ml / 0.4 fl oz

My Thoughts 

I don't think that I've written a full review on the UD Perversion Mascara, but this mascara has made severalnappearances here on my blog throughout the years. This mascara is one of my all time favorites. It's not waterproof, but this mascara is gives me voluminous lashes and the formula doesn't look clump when applied to my lashes.


Now I want to review the two newer products from Urban Decay. Note: The Fine Point Eye Pen isn't exactly new, just the tip on the pen.



Product Details 

Killer days, extreme workouts, splash zones...come at us! Our super-intense, blacker-than-black mascara is now waterproof, so it doesn't quit—even during your hottest moments—until you say when. Want to touch up before the afterparty? Done and done. 


This ultra-creamy, lengthening, and volumizing formula coats each lash and never gets brittle or clumpy, so you can apply coat after coat. Our nourishing blend of proteins, amino acids, and honey extract promotes growth for bigger, blacker, and healthier eyelashes.  

Urban Decay is 100% cruelty-free. 
Fill Weight: 10.2 ml / 0.34 fl oz


My Thoughts


No clumping or smudging! This mascara applies on my lashes flawlessly, and adds volume. The packaging is absolutely beautiful with the textured 3D raindrops on the mascara tube. This design for the packaging is very creative.


When you wear this mascara you don't have to worry about it coming off. The mascara stays in place all day. It's not difficult to remove this waterproof mascara, but you should use a good makeup remover in general to remove your makeup before you cleanse your face.



Product Details

Calling all control freaks: Achieve cat-eye perfection in just one stroke with the Perversion Waterproof Fine-Point Eye Pen. Our ultimate liquid liner just got a major upgrade—this innovative brush-tip pen lays down semi-matte, blacker-than-black pigment with precise, effortless application.  


Our new ultra-fine, flexible brush tip gives you full control over your shape and flick with ease. Plus, our waterproof formula keeps going until you say when, from office hours to after hours, plus any sweat sessions in between.


Urban Decay is 100% cruelty-free.
Fill Weight: 1.0 ml / 0.03 fl oz

My Thoughts



If you're looking to create a fierce winged liner this product is a must! I received so many compliments on my winged liner


I've used many eyeliners throughout my makeup journey, but nothing like this one. Amazing job Urban Decay!!
