Product Review: Urban Decay Primer Potion

Hey all!

Sorry it's been awhile since I wrote a post, but I've been working like a mad woman. Plus I haven't been trying many new products lately! However, I do have a couple of (*spoiler* amazing) products to review for you! :)

I thought I'd start off with a classic product that so many people swear by:
 Urban Decay's Primer Potion!

Granted while this little "potion bottle" will run you $20 for a full-size tube...IT'S WORTH IT! Actually. Trust me. It comes with a little wand and you just swipe the potion over your lid and let it dry for 60 seconds. The consistency comes out sort of chalky and dry (not unpleasant, so don't get me wrong)!

Wow! Your eyeshadow not only stays in place, but the pigments appear more vibrant! On top of that application of your eye products (both shadows and liners) becomes a breeze.

The bottle lasts you quite awhile and you'll want to replace it once the potion becomes a little dry versus liquid.

My only complaint is that while the packaging is cute the purple of the bottle flakes off (but only after lots of use)!

Conclusion: Why are you still reading this? Go buy it.

Stay pretty...stay smart!

Product Review: Urban Outfitters Marble Eye Palette

Hey all!

So here's another review!

Yesterday my friend and I were walking around Uptown in Minneapolis and popped into Vic's Secret and Urban Outfitters! The sales were AMAZING! I find that I can only realistically buy Urban stuff when they do this sale (I think it's around twice a year)!

I got two pillows which would've cost $100 for $10 (I love home decor...it's almost unhealthy haha)! I picked up two shirts, as well as their... 

Marble Eye Palette!

I think it was originally $12 (maybe?) and I got it for $5! It has 32 shades that come packaged with a marbled effect. There's a great variety for all skin tones and it's fun to see the two colors blend. Application is easy and it lasts all day (with a proper primer :))!

So yeah...basically try and snag this at your local Urban before they're gone!

Stay pretty...stay smart!

Product Review: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils

Hey all!

I haven't done a post for awhile and I keep going back and forth on what I wanna talk about on this blog. However, I did just buy some new products, so I thought I'd do some reviews for you guys!

I work at Ulta (as well as H&M), so I'm able to find new products and sample things on a fairly regular basis! :)

So for the first review in this set I thought I'd share my thoughts on the:

 NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils!

First off, I just wanna say I wish that I had thoroughly researched this product before purchasing. I had seen some beauty gurus on Youtube say they liked them, but on further research I found that a common problem was CREASING!

It's horrible. So. Bad.

With that being said, they aren't a complete waste of money! I purchased two (Buy one, get one half off at Ulta right now) in Milk and Iced Mocha!

Iced Mocha

Milk

I used the Iced Mocha one on my lid (creasing ensued) and the Milk one on my water line. The water line was the perfect solution. I love the look these pencils give me (it really brightens up your eye, especially after a long night)!

So in conclusion, spend the money (less than $5), but don't venture outside of your water line with this product or you will be sorely disappointed!

Stay pretty...stay smart!
