Urban Decay Lip Junkie Gloss

I am always on the search for a new lipgloss- I must have hundreds- but when I came across this fabulous lip gloss by Urban Decay, I had to share with you all: Introducing the Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lipgloss! 

This decadent lip gloss has a fabulously delicious vanilla-mint flavor that I adore. And unlike lots of other glosses, Lip Junkie allows you to get all that shine without the sticky hangover. If you want a super-shiny gloss, but can't stand the sticky texture, then Lip Junkie is definitely for you.  The soft and smooth texture stays put much longer than other glosses.

The key ingredient, Maxi-Lip™, plumps the appearance of lips an average of 40% when used daily for a month. (Lip Junkie uses non-irritant plumpers, unlike other glosses that use stinging ingredients to inflame your lips.) The Maxi-Lip actually helps your lips become better defined, super-hydrated, and full.

My go-to shade for this gloss is Midnight Cowboy- a fabulous sheer sparkly nude that is beyond amazing over some of my favorite lipsticks.

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

The MVP of my makeup collection had to be the Urban Decay Naked palette - packed with super wearable shades, this palette is always my go-to for any occasion. Being a girl who adores makeup, I have accumulated and tested countless shadows over the years, and although NARS and TooFaced palettes come in and out of my life, I always go back to my Naked palette- trusted and true!

Naturally, after quite some time of wearing the Naked palette shades, I was ready for a change- I had heard of the Naked 2 palette but didn't think I needed it, thought it was too similar blah blah... Well I finally broke down and caved in- introducing the Naked 2 palette!!! My dreams have come true with the beyond amazing little sister to the original Naked palette! Boy am I LOVING this new palette- I am already so so obsessed!

Here is the low down on the uber fashionable and popular Naked 2 palette:  This palette features a dozen pigment-rich taupe and gray-beige neutrals, plus five exclusive, new shades. This set contains 12 Eyeshadows in the following shades:

Foxy (cream bisque with matte finish), Half Baked (golden-bronze with shimmering finish), Booty Call (shimmering cork), Chopper (copper shimmer with silver microglitter)

Tease (creamy pale brown with matte finish), Snake Bite (dark bronze shimmer with metallic base), Suspect (pale golden beige with shimmering finish), Pistol (light gray-brown with shimmering finish)

Verve (oyster with shimmering finish), YDK (cool bronze shimmer with metallic base), Busted (deep brown with shimmering finish), Blackout (blackest black with matte finish)

The palette also includes a travel-size Lip Junkie Lipgloss in Naked and a double-ended, cruelty-free Good Karma Shadow/Crease Brush.

Urban Decay's packaging takes on a modern feel in Naked 2 with an art-school-inspired tin case and a hinged lid. Compare Naked2 with first Naked palette—packaged in warm, rich brown velvet with gold foil lettering—and you won't be able to resist owning both. Sorry Naked, you will always remain in my heart, but I have officially started my love affair with Naked 2!

Finally! A New UD Primer Potion Bottle!

Urban Decay has finally answered all of our prayers! When I first wrote about the Urban Decay Primer Potion, my absolute favorite eyelid primer (check out the post here: Fab-YOU-lous: Prime Yourself!), I received comments from my amazing readers about how horrible the bottle was... I couldn't help but unfortunately agree with them- So much of this fabulous product was wasted because you weren't able to reach it at the bottom of the bottle with the wand.

New squeeze tube

Well, fashionistas, you will all be happy to know that Urban Decay has changed their bottle design to a squeeze tube, exclusive to Sephora.

The same fabulous Urban Decay Primer Potion is packaged in a new squeeze tube with a precise needle nose design. My favorite shade is Sin, which is a beautiful shimmering champagne color. This formula is soft, versatile, and provides the ultimate eye prep for creaseless, more vibrant shadow and all-day wear.

Prime on, fashionistas! xoxo
