Brand Focus: Urban Decay

Hi Everyone!
I have been loving watching videos on Youtube about a different brands. My favorite Youtuber who does brand focus's is Essiebutton. Her first brand focus on Bourjois and I fell in love with the idea. So thank you Estee! SO my first brand focus is on Urban Decay !

Urban Decay is one of my all time favorite brands. Urban Decay is an American company that was founded in 1996 by Sandy Lerner, who is also the co founder of Cisco Systems.

Urban Decay became popular in 17 years ago when red and pink became popular in the beauty industry. They also added in nail polish and then in January of 1999, they launched Urban Decay.

When they first launched the company, they had only 10 lipsticks and 12 nail polishes. When they first came out with their first palette, they based it off of the urban landscape of California.

Urban Decay does not test on animals and also all of their products are vegan.

That's the gist on how Urban Decay started. Now I will tell you about the products I have:
 I have three of the Naked palettes. Naked, Naked 2, and Naked Basics. The Naked Collection is one of the most popular collections that Urban Decay has. I use all of my Naked palettes all the time. You can make any make up look you want. 
This is the Naked Basics and there are five matte shades and one satin shade. I use this palette a lot when I have to go to work. 


This is the first Naked palette and I love this palette. These eye shadows have warm tone eye shadows. Honestly these eye shadows can work with anyone with any skin tones and any eye color. 


This is the Naked 2 palette. This has more cool tone eye shadows in it. I use this palette more when I am going out or when I need a more dramatic look. I used this palette on New Years Eve on my cousin, Crystal, and I. 
Crystal had more of a smokey I than I did, but both make up looks looked amazing. 


Now these two palettes are amazing because they have extremely fun colors. 

The first palette I ever got from Urban Decay was the limited edition palette that was designed by Kime Buzzelli. He did the amazing artwork. 

 I used to love wearing the purple (Flash) and the turquoise color (Painkiller) because I was really into bright colors. Now, not so much. But I like using the bright colors as eye liners. 

The next palette I got was the Deluxe Shadow Box 

 I love how this palette is more versatile because it has both colorful eye shadows as well as bronze shadows.  


Now these three items are not essentials in my opinion. But I really wanted to try the Urban Decay All Nighter Spray. The thing is, this product really does work. But I think I might be allergic to it. The reason why is because every time I wear it, I get hives all over my face. So look at the ingredients just in case. 

The next product is Marshmallow Body Powder. Now this smells and tastes like marshmellows. Now I did say taste. This has a very nice shimmer to it and I think this is great for anyone who has prom or junior prom or weddings because it let's your skin has some shimmer. I like that you don't look like a disco ball. 

The last two items I have are brushes. These came with both Naked palettes. To be honest, I don't really like these brushes. One of the brushes is a flat ended brush. The double ended brush has a flat ended brush and then a fluffy brush. I love the fluffy brush. It is so easy to clean and blends nicely. The flat ended brush, I don't like so much. The reason why is because they are hard to clean and they do not pack on eye shadow so well.  Out of all the items I have, I do not recommend these eye shadow brushes unless they came with your Naked palettes. 

Those are all the products I have! I absolutely love Urban Decay! I hope you liked this brand focus. Please let me know any other brands you would like me to review. I really hope you have a great day/night!

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well. Now that I have started talking about spring, I am so ready for it!  My last post  was about my favorite spring trends for 2014 and today I want to talk about nail polish! I love nail polish. It makes me so happy when I am writing notes and all of a sudden I look down and see my nails painted in a pretty color. It brightens my day! It's all about the small things in life. Essie's Play Date This color just screams spring to me. This is one of my all time favorite nail polishes and every time spring and summer comes around, this is the first nail polish I put on.  You're Such a Budapest This color is gorgeous. I do not personally own this color....yet! I will be getting it this spring because this is like a lavender/periwinkle purple. This color is a perfect color to transition color from winter to spring. Essie's Sand Tropez  This is another color that I don't own.....but I will. I honestly think ...

First Impression: Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match!

Hello everyone! I am super excited to be doing my first first impression blog post! Yay! Now I got this a while ago but I have not really touched it or played around with it. A first impression is basically my opinion on these products and how I think of them the first time I swatch them, use them , stuff like that. Now this is a value set from Sephora and it is the  Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match .  Now this was pretty popular among some YouTubers a while back and I really liked the products and wanted to try them and it was only $25 for 6 sample size products. Which I thought was a pretty good deal.  Packaging:  I love the packaging. I thought it stands out because of the bright colors and the interesting print on the cardboard. I also love the concept of matching you lip gloss to your nail polish. I thought it was a really fun idea for summer.  Match 1: This is the first lip product that I want to tell you all about an...

January Random Favorites 2015!

Hello Everyone! It is my first favorites blog post of the new year! How exciting! So January was not a good month at all for me. I was extremely sick and I was getting back to college and  I moved dorm rooms so I was adjusting to that as well, so that is why I don't have any make up favorites. I started wearing make up and playing with make up during the last month of January so all the make up that I have been loving will be in my next favorites. But January was all about movies and TV shows. My first favorite of the month and the biggest favorite in January was Reign. If you love Vampire Diaries. You will love this show. Reign is just ..... no words can even describe how good it is. It is about Mary Stuart, the Queen of Scotland and how she has to marry Prince Francis of France, soon to be the king of France. The whole show is based on what happens in the castle between Francis and Mary as well as France and Scotland. This show is filled with passion, danger and streng...
