I am such a big fan of Urban Decay. When I was still in Junior High, I would look at their website and dream of buying the cool cosmetics they made. Once I moved up to where I currently live and they built a Sephora nearby, my dream came true, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Lately, I’ve strayed away from buying higher end cosmetics because I wanted to save my money to move into a new place. But after my eye allergy a few days ago, I had to toss all my eye makeup. What a great time to buy new stuff!

Urban Decay Get Baked Eyeshadow Palette is a pretty good buy anyway just because it has 4 eyeshadows, an eye pencil, and eyeshadow primer potion (which is an AMAZING product by itself).

Lets start with the primer potion. This stuff is a base that you can use to hold eyeshadow in place all day. Even my friends who wear nothing else Urban Decay are really obsessed with this stuff. It works very well. This particular sample that is included is tinted in a shimmery bronze color which can look super cute even by itself!

Three of the 4 eyeshadows are increasingly darker shades of brown, and the fourth is a bright green color. Warning: These are all EXTREMELY sparkly. If you are looking for more of a natural shadow color, these turn your lids into a disco ball. I think that is really cool and I love it, and as you can see, it really makes my eyes stand out. It’s all very easy to apply as well, but there is no brush included, so remember to get your own.

The last item in the pallette is a sample of the 24/7 glide on eye pencil in Bourbon, a brown color. I don’t like brown liner, but let me warn you that it doesn’t make a good brow pencil. It’s way too dark. Stop laughing at me!

I bought the one in Zero though, and it’s a very smooth easy to use pencil. It’s also long lasting, as the mark on my arm can show you when I tried it out in the store. My love for Urban Decay is renewed!

Definitely getting an A+ from me! Soon I’ll be reviewing mascara and self tanners, so keep watching!

(Like the naughty girl I am, I promised you a picture of my favorite work outfit today but can’t deliver it. I’m finishing up my cleaning, and will post with my super closet purge post that’s coming up this week. Hopefully.)

I found some lashes!

I bought these Ardell brand lashes when I bought my bleach at Sally’s. I’ve heard good things about these, and I think they are very cute. There are a ton of different styles, which made it very hard for me to pick one. The “demi wispies” won my heart.

The box says 100% european human hair. lol.

I’m also wearing my contacts. I love the color that I bought this time, but they aren’t as comfortable as the ones I bought last time from Secret Eyes. Definitely ordering from them next time instead of from livejournal.

I was really bored today, since it decided to rain AGAIN on my day off. So I figured I would try these lashes I bought at Walgreens the other day. (I live a block away from it, ok? It’s going to get mentioned a lot.) But these things SUCKED. I tried to get them on the first time and the stupid inside ends kept coming up. I gave up that day and washed them to try again.

Those stupid little things got all gross when I washed them. They were supposed to be made of human hair, but apparently it was from someone who’s hair got gross when she washed it. No wonder they donated it to make eyelashes, not like she could get a normal job with crazy gross hair!

So I thought that today I would try again, because it’s not like I’ll be going out until later and then if anyone talks about my lashes I can act offended because I have some weird condition where my lashes reacted to water. Which will totally work because it was raining today. But I couldn’t because those stupid little things not only don’t glue down on the inside ends again, but they were sharp and pokey there and my eyes refused to tolerate that. In my anger, I tossed those freak lashes away.

At least I don’t have hair like that. Eww.
