Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Naked 2



I have seen so many people raving about the new Revolution Lipsticks by Urban Decay lately that I decided to pick one up myself and see what all the hype was about. I picked a super exciting shade..... wait for it.....wait for it..............NUDE!!! Yes, I got Naked 2. I bought it at Ulta and paid $22 which is a bit much for a lipstick and as my husband would say, especially for a lipstick you can't even see lol.
Here is some info from the Urban Decay website about these new lipsticks,
Get the color you crave. Addictive to apply (and even more addictive to wear), this creamy formula glides on without dragging or skipping, hugs every curve and gives you a BIG laydown of color. And with shades that range from gorgeous nudes to bold brights, there’s something for everyone.

Our Pigment Infusion System™ gives Revolution Lipstick its super creamy texture, insane pigmentation, superior color dispersion and extended wear. Maxi-Lip™ defines and hydrates lips while making them look plumper and fuller. And a nourishing blend of jojoba oil, avocado oil, cocoa butter and shea butter keeps lips super moisturized and cushiony soft.

Our luxe, custom-designed gunmetal tube (lined in dark purple) features organically shaped facets that practically beg to be touched. You’ll want to keep pulling it out of your bag—whether it’s time to reapply or not.
                           
This lipstick lived up to it's claims and then some. It applied super smooth and creamy and was very opaque with one coat. The formula made my lips feel moisturized while wearing it. I also found the shade Naked 2 to be a great nude color for my skin tone.

 The only negative aspect to this lipstick is the price. It is a bit expensive but I do feel like the quality  makes it worth the price tag. I really like this lipstick and it already has become an everyday favorite. I feel like most of the other shades are out of my comfort zone, you know not nude, so this will probably be my only Revolution lipstick purchase but I am totally happy I picked this up!


Have you tried Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks? If so, what is your favorite shade?

Urban Decay Afterglow Blush - Fetish

Urban Decay recently had a huge sale, I of course was broke.
Booooooooooooo!!!
I am not a huge fan of Urban Decays shadows but I really love their
blushes. I decided that I needed Fetish and was able to order with a makeup
buddy and save on shipping.

I paid roughly $5 shipped for this blush.

Fetish is a nice berry color which works similar to a bronzer on me but
with a hint of color. I really like it so far!
I love the Afterglow line of blushes by Urban Decay. They changed
the packaging to this.Fetish is listed for $24.00.
OUCH!!!
I personally would not have paid $24.00 for this blush. It is nice but not that nice
in my opinion, I do not think any of the Afterglow blushes are worth $24.00.
If you want to spend that much on blush I would suggest M.A.C or Tarte.

Swatched on top of foundation in natural light.

In the sunlight.

Full face of Fetish applied!

What do you think of Urban Decay blushes?

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!!
