Urban Decay Liquid Eyeliners

Filed Under Makeup | Leave a Comment

New bottle, new shades, same great formula! If you haven’t experienced Urban Decay’s amazing liquid eyeliners or you have yet to try their new shades, come on in and play!

I haven’t had so much fun with makeup since I was a kid playing dress up. These liners are extremely workable and the colors are great, very different from what you’ll find elsewhere.

My favorite combination so far? A thick (think cat eyes) line of Roach (deep reddish chocolate brown) along the upper lash line, followed by very thin line of the same color along the lower lash line. Then apply Revolver (a medium silver shimmer) over the lid, stopping just before you get to the crease. Add a tiny bit of Urban Decay’s Eyeshadow in Polyester Bride (white with silver shimmer) along the brow line to make your eyes pop!

London’s best kept secret, POP Beauty is absolutely irresistible, not to mention the most convenient makeup packaging I have ever come across. No need to carry your train case with you to have all the colors you could possibly need, just toss one of Pop Beauty’s eye cakes in your purse and you have everything you need to look gorgeous for the weekend.

Here are my favorite picks from Pop Beauty:

POP Beauty - Lip Smoothie My absolute favorite Pop Beauty goodie, this lip gloss packs a punch in color, smooths any little lines in your lips and plumps them to perfection. Works very well with or without lip liner. You know you’ve found a new favorite when you friend says, “Wow! What do you have on your lips, they look great!”

POP Beauty - Lid Bronzer This little baby is a life saver. So slim and small, yet it has six, count them six, gorgeous shadows for bronzing your lids! I keep this in my purse at all times in case of a beauty emergency. Comes complete with instructions on how to apply the perfectly bronzed lid (the directions are on the inside lid so you are never without them).

POP Beauty - Eye Cake Like to have all your favorite colors in one place? These fantastic eye cakes are just what you want! Gorgeous colors and five shades in one handy little tin. Use the dark shade as your liner and you’re set to go.

POP Beauty - Mini Ribbon Gloss These are the perfect lip glosses in the perfect size. Three colors in one tin they leave your lips soft and add the perfect hint of color. Layer the gloss on for a great light lipstick look.

POP Beauty - Glow and Highlight Pressed Radiance Powder
A great beauty tool, highlight your eyes, temples, cheeks, anywhere you want to glow. The three neutral shades are very glittery while the peach and yellow shades are more matte. Blend them all together for a wonderful highlighter, use the peach as a light blush and use the yellow to brighten around your eyes.
