The Urban Decay Thread

[Trista]

I haven't tried Gunmetal, although all the ones I try do well-Electric, Lust, Lucky, et. al. Lust stays on very well for me.

^boo, the gunmetal one smudges like mad on me. it's 50% gone after a few hours

I just got one of the fatty mascara's in Purple Haze - it is really amazing one the best mascara's I have tried in a while. The colour is so pretty but not too overpowering. I also desperately wanted to get the Deluxe Shadow Box but it was sold out at my local Sephora to my dismay!! I will try again next week. I think the colours are so beautiful!!!! Those who own this product, is it as amazing as it looks?

My sister got me the thorny rose lipgloss palette for christmas and I LOVE it!

About the Deluxe shadow box-it is BETTER than it looks. It's one of the best values on the market for shadow because the colours are so richly pigmented and vibrant-and there's something for everyone-be it darks, neutrals, or brights.

I do intend to get that purple mascara soon, I've been needing a good one! I've been using a VS liquid liner in a purple on my tips but that does not always cut it.

That lip palette looks great! although I'm weary about palettes as I like to be able to carry around the colour, I have never tried UD's lip products either!

I have a few of their old palettes, the Face Cases. I wish they'd bring them back!

I'm newly in love with their shot of gloss lipglosses,
I picked up three today in a store clearance for £1.50 each.

Also loving their eyeshadows, I'm nearly out of half baked and can't afford to replace it for a while. Ugh.

Im thinking about getting the big fatty mascara in Electric Blue but Im afraid its going to be to sutle. I saw some pics on one of the topics (cant remember where... frustrating lol) & the model was wearing a really bright shocking electric blue... very noticable just like one I had years ago. Is the Big Fatty one like that or more sutle? Does anyone have pics of someone wearing it?

 

[daisybella]

I saw a review of it in a magazine and it seemed really bright, of course, it didn't say how many coats they used or anything.
I'm quite curious as well.

 

[Tiffany7]

Then the electric blue says its a bright turquoise which Im unsure of... theres another blue but it doesnt look as bright.
This is the shade I want it to be & how I want it to look. (photo from elle.com). Sorry I have to put a link but the insert image thing doesnt work for me.

^I haven't really tried the new colored mascaras, but based on past experience I doubt that they're going to be that bright. I know that they used MAC Royal Wink Fluidline (now discontinued) on the lashes at that show, so I would suggest finding a bright blue gel eyeliner and applying it with a mascara fan brush.

 

[Trista]

^MAC still has Blue Horizon Liquidlast (the liquid liner) that can be used for a similar effect...

By bright blue mascara though, I want one that is like the Peace deluxe shadow. That would be so hot...

Is anyone able to give a review on Urban Decays eyeshadow primer?
I want to buy it but would love to hear what people think of it

 

[Suburban Snob]

UD is coming out with quite a lot for holiday/fall.

Most striking are 2 eyeshadow palettes, one is 16 e/s - 2 brushes- mini primer potion. The other is 10 e/s and a brush or a mini primer potion (can't remember)...2 sets of 5 mini 24/7 liners, set of 3 heavy metal liners. 2 sets including primer potion an eyeshadow and something else..will be on sale in september.

 

[Trista]

They are launching lipsticks-they're going to be $22 and the packaging is TDF if not slightly unfunctional. There are also 24/7 lip liners (Ozone is a clear one) and then concealers with names like FBI and CIA.

The 2 sets are Best of UD sets that have a shadow, a Heavy Metal liner, a small size of UDPP, and then a small 24/7 liner. I will definitely get the sets of liners because they are great to have for in my makeup bag. I know that the set with UDPP is a full size of that and then one of the 10-shadow boxes, available at ULTA. I'm excited for the Heavy Metal liner set. The 16-shadow box is with 4 exclusive shades. There are also three new shades...but they are mattes so I skip them.

If you mean the eye primer potion, it's the best money I ever spent. Buy it! It's amazing how long it will hold the makeup for...literally, it has kept my eyeliner & eyeshadow in place for DAYS. Also, if you're ever in a tough spot and can't find your eye makeup remover (just water will not get that stuff off once you've used UD's eye primer potion) a daub more of the potion will wipe it all clean off.

All my friends are sick of hearing me go on about it, I sound like an infomercial. "It can do anything!" LOL

 

[xxilovepinkxx]

I did end up getting some and i can also say that it is money really well spent. I didnt imagine that I would notice that much of a difference. I like to experiment with my eyemakeup and i hate it when one starts fading or something. Thanks for letting me know what you think!!!

I have the Midnight Cowboy liner-it was a special edition last year-and it is amazing. It's a very light gold. Stage Dive has also been an exclusive to the Heavy Metal sets, and I've been wanting it. As far as the pink shades go, it's about time they did some pinks. I have used the Too Faced ones but those dry up fast, and they're not a lot of product for the cash.

Also new eyeliners...heck yes. I'm also very interested in trying out the Midnight Cowboy new things.
