Urban Decay Feminine Palette

Hey guys! I'm actually going to be reviewing a discontinued palette today. There has actually been a second version of this palette released now, but I like this version better. You can still get all these shades separately, and you may even be able to find this palette online. But I thought my opinions for this palette apply to all Urban Decay shadows, and so I decided to review the product, even if it is discontinued! So to start off, I love the packaging. It's so girly and cute! The purple and pink flower design make it fit it's name perfectly! Getting into the actual product, I have one major problem with too faced eye shadows. They have fallout problems. Your whole face ends up sparkly if your not careful. However, I use these shadows on top of crème eye shadows or paint pots and that helps solve the problem for me! "Stray Dog", "Midnight Cowboy" and "Dark Horse" are all more neutral daytime colors, and I think it's nice too include daytime colors. However, I'm not a fan of the daytime look they provided. I think it looks washed down, and doesn't seem pigmented. You definitely have to add something too it to make it stand out. Overall I do enjoy the product. and I do love the other three colors for special effects makeup and for whenever I feel like mixing up my routine. So I think there are some high points and some low points when it comes to this palette, therefore I give the Urban Decay Feminine Palette a B.

MAC's "Sketch" Velvet Eyeshadow

Hello Lovelies!! I haven't posted in a long time! I have been so so so busy with my musical! Today I'm coming at you with a review talking about MAC's sketch. This eye shadow is actually a purple eye shadow, but I wear it everyday. I wear all that glitters on my lid and nutmeg from my skylark palette in the crease and very obviously sketch in my outer corner! It's also really pretty when worn with sable, because it brings out the beautiful purple undertones in it.However you can also through it with some pinks and purples and make it a colorful night time look. I love the fact that its a versatile shade. I also love the color, its such a gorgeous purple brown, at first when looking at a swatch you would think its brown but then you realize it's purple. This color is a velvet finish witch means it goes on very soft and has a soft look to it, it also means that it it slightly more matte. I also enjoy MAC eye shadows because they don't have horrible fallout like Urban Decay and Too Faced Eye shadows do. I have no big complaints about the sketch, except for maybe the 11-15 dollar price tag. So I give MAC's "Sketch" an A.

Urban Decay Primer Potions in "Greed" and "Eden"

Hello Lovelies! Sorry I haven't posted in almost a week! Oh my goodness life has been crazy lately! Today I wanted to review two more tinted eye shadow primers. As I said in my review of Too Faced Shadow Insurance in "Candlelight" I'm not a huge colored eye primer fan. I just don't get the need for it. If I want a tinted primer I'd rather use a paint pot or a creme eye shadow. Anyways, note number two, I do have the old packaging on these and I do have deluxe samples instead of the full size. The new packaging is much better, with these once you get to a certain point, you have to cut them open to use the rest of the product. The new packaging does fix that problem. Okay getting into the actual product.Greed has a goldish all that glitters type of feel to it. Its a beautifully pigmented primer, as you can see in the picture (it's the one on the left.) Eden is more of a matte taupe type of shade. I like this one because it does give your shadows an extra bump, and makes the colors of them stand out more, because they're on a lighter base. All together these products have nice pigmentation and they make your shadows last all day. I'd give them both an A. Thanks for reading!
