Matte Nails

I am sick and I have also been busy working on something awesome
( to be shared later) so I havent had any looks to share lately
but I did recently do my nails!

First let me say this is the STRANGEST nail polish I have ever tried!
I had 2 coupons that I stacked and I got this for like .75 cents at Target.

It is a really pretty green and is unlike any color I have in my collection right now.
 Once again, ignore my stubby nails. I have an aversion to the feeling of long nails on me.
The above picture is with flash so it doesnt really show how matte this polish is.
 This polish dried in less than a few minutes.
Once it was dry it was so matte that it almost looked like it would be rough.
This is a weird polish. It has such a dry matte appearance.
It reminds me of a spray paint primer or something.
Have you tried any of the Matte Suede polish?

Urban Decay EOTD

 Sorry for the picture quality. I didn't realize they were so out of focus when I took them.
I used my new Urban Decay pressed shadows for this look.
I also did something different, I used pressed shadow to fill in my brows.
I am not sure I like it.
I used Jones all over the lid, Gash in the crease and Jones on the top edge to blend.

Cheeks and Lips are from my Lorac palette!

Another look of the day

 I haven't used one of my fave colors , Ol' 55 by Madd Style
for quite some time so I pulled it out and did a look.
I almost just did a full eye with Ol' 55 but it seemed boring so I added some 
Brad in the inner/tear duct area and some Space Oddity to the outer edge.
Some extra blue glitter made its way on to my eye of course!

Urban Decay/HauteLook

I placed an order on HauteLook during the Urban Decay event.
I was able to snag the Summer of Love palette and  few pressed shadows.
I am personally new to using Urban Decay.
I had a pretty bad experience with a lip gloss palette and my only other
Urban Decay product is Primer Potion.
I have heard good things about Urban Decay so I figured I should try them out!

I placed my HauteLook order on April 1st and it arrived on April 13th.

Everything was packaged great and arrived in perfect condition.

I paid $40 for this haul.

Electric seemed pretty similar in the package to quite a few colors
( I am a turquoise/teal hoarder)
that I already have so it made its way to my giveaway.

Summer of Love palette
( this appears to be the palette that debuted last summer.
A new summer palette is going to be released soon)
Included in this palette was a travel size UDPP in Sin and a 24/7 Glide on eye pencil in Bourbon.
I have read and heard SO much about these pencils.
Since I am not big on eyeliner I really thought that $18 for one eyeliner
was INSANE. Like batshit crazy insane!!
I stand corrected. 
I tried the pencil out on my hand and let it set, rubbed it and it pretty much had NO smudge.
This is what my eyebrows have been begging, no pleading FOR!!!
I thought I took pics of it swatched but I guess I didn't. 
I have used it in my brows quite a few times now and I really like it.
There is glitter in it which is a bit weird on the 
brows but the glitter seems to fall off after awhile.
I haven't been able to figure out if they make a
24/7 glide on pencil that doesn't have glitter and
is a dark brown or brown/red color.

Close up of the shadows in the Summer of Love palette

I have used this color for a quick fresh neutral look a few times.
It is really pretty and has nice sparkle to it



UDPP in Sin. I love this so far. It is a golden shimmer primer and 
it looks really pretty by itself on the eyelid. So far I have only used it over browns or neutral shades.
If you have used Sin, does it look good under brighter pigments?





( this photographed more tan/brown than it is)




Some thoughts on Urban Decay.
The packaging is nice and pretty cute.
I like the shimmer and glitter in the shadows.
The 24/7 eyeliner ROCKED MY WORLD!!
The shadows glide on nice and blend VERY easily.
I liked everything but I wouldn't pay full price for the shadows.
At $17 a piece I feel like 
there are so many great indie companies around
and I really prefer a brighter more
pigmented shadow at this point.
I am glad I had a chance to try the 24/7 pencils and
I do plan on buying one to match my eyebrows.
I also really liked the UDPP in Sin.


So what do you think about Urban Decay? What are some of your favorite products?
Is there a must have I am missing out on?? Let me know!!

Late Super Duper - FAIL

This dupe was DIFFICULT! I consider it a pretty big fail but wanted to post it anyway.

I asked my friends to link me to a look that was VERY different than my normal look.
BOY did they pick a different one!!
I was very intimidated. I decided I would only do one eye because there was no way I was 
going to be able to get both eyes to match.
One eye even proved to be too much for me!! I tried first with liquid liner
and that was a HUGE fail. It looked disgusting and weird.
Off it came and I used eyeliner pencil instead. It didn't give a crisp look like the original but
it was easier to work with.
I am not going to even bother with the products used for this look.
I am really glad I tried this look even though it was pretty 
discouraging how awful it turned out.
It did make me want to try more different looks so I can improve!


So after I washed that off I decided to do a look inspired by a gorgeous look I seen on
a girl from Facebook.

I messed the eyeliner up and had to wash it all off AGAIN. Above is the final look.
I like this, it isn't my normal colors so I feel a bit blah and 
muted  but otherwise I think it is pretty.
This looks way prettier in person!!
