Fall Inspired Tutorial [VICE 3 PALETTE]

Fall is officially once upon us, as is Urban Decay's newest version of their Vice Palette!! I decided to mash the two together to create a new autumnal look. I am so in love with everything fall, especially when it comes to makeup! It's so hard for me to pass up on the red, and burgundies of this season, so once I saw the full row of reds and burgundies in the new Vice 3 I immediately put them ALL on my eyes!!
With this look, I also show you three different lipstick options! Only to show how different you can make this look just by the lips alone!!!

Blue Brown Smokey Eye

Have you ever gone so long hearing how amazing a product is , but never actually getting up and buying it, only to realize the hype was soooooooo true! Yeah, I came to that realization while filming this look! I used mostly MAC products for my eyes, you know my tried and true shadows that I use on an everyday basis,  but today I also used the ever so famous Blue Brown pigment for the first time. And OH MY GOD!! I am in love! It's such a gorgeous color, no wonder it's so popular!!

I am so in love with this look, and I hope you are too!! I can't wait to find different ways to use this
pigment!!

FOTD: Dirty Mistress

It seems as though fall weather has hit Connecticut a bit early this year. Even though it's been a lot cooler the leaves have yet to turn color. That's exactly what inspired this look today!! I created the tiniest bit of a cut crease effect, and just used the most fall like red that I could find!! So, I hope you guys enjoy this look!

Review & Swatches: Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipsticks

Hello daaaahlings!! As promised on today's post I will be reviewing and swatching Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipsticks (phew what a mouthful) !!! 


Now, these liquid lipsticks are in no way new, but they are new to me. I was not initially intrigued by them since I heard that they did dry glossy, and if you know me you know that I don't do glossy. But after seeing the newest shades in the range I decided to give them a try. I initially purchase Melted Berry and about two weeks later I purchased two additional shades in Melted Nude and Melted Candy!!

FOTD: Too Faced Cut Crease


Hello dolls!!! Finally a new post!! I decided to come back with a new FOTD post! 
It's been a good long time since I've had time to sit down and actually play with makeup in such a fun and creative way. Although it's neutral I created a semi-dramatic cut crease look using the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette. I also used Too Faced Melted Liquified Lipstick in three different shades to show you the versatility of this look.  I will also have a review up next of the Too Faced Melted Lipsticks! 

I hope you guys enjoy this look!

Review and Swatches: Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette

Hello Dolls! 
Long time no see. I'm happy to report that I finally have a fully functioning laptop once again! Since this was the only thing preventing me from actually being able to write blog posts, edit videos/pictures, I'm glad to say that I will now be posting at lease once a week! 

Today, I will be bringing you a review on one of this years most talked about palette. 
Urban Decays Vice 2!



If you already own the original Vice palette and are debating whether or not buying the second one will be worth it is important to know that this palette contains 20 brand new, never before seen shades from Urban Decay. The overall color scheme is different as well. The shades in this palette are more dark based, jewel colors than the original, with some neutrals thrown in the mix. This palette contains very little matte shades, only 2 true mattes in the entire palette, which is one less matte than the original Vice palette.





The packaging of this palette is amazing. It is a bit bulkier but in the greatest of ways. The design and colors of the packaging absolutely sucked me in. It's a beautifully marbled design full of purple and magenta goodness. The inside packaging is no less beautiful. First of all the palette opens by itself once the button on the front is pushed, and remains open to reveal a full size mirror! Most palettes come with mirrors that end up being completely useless because they're either too small, or are on a lid that continuously falls, but not this one! This is a perfect palette to take on vacations, sleep over or anywhere where you think you may need a good size mirror. 



The Vice 2 palette comes with 20 brand new, never before seen eyeshadows. The palette contains four rows of five eyeshadows, none in a specific order. It also holds a double ended brush with a regular eyelid brush and a blending/crease brush.

Now onto my favorite part!! The shadows. 

Row 1:
Smokeout: Satin dark taupe-y charcoal black 
Great pigmentation, and incredibly smooth.

Lovesick: Matte black with silver micro-glitter.
Not Urban Decays greatest black, and the silver glitter doesn't transfer well onto the lid 

Shellshock: Metallic silver. 
Great pigmentation with amazing texture. 

Coax: Metallic pink with gold micro glitter. 
Great pigmentation and little to no fall out from the glitter. 

X-Rated: Sating baby pink. 
Incredibly buttery texture, with good pigmentation


Row 2:
Prank: Matte dark navy with turquoise micro glitter.
Amazing pigmentation!!

Madness: Metallic jewel blue with blue glitter.
Good pigmentation and finish.

Strike: Metallic antiqued gold with silver glitter.
Good pigmentation, and a nice different shade for this palette.

Stash: Shimmer deep olive green.
Good pigmentation a darker version of MAC's Sumptuous Olive.

Poison: Satin charcoal with blue micro glitter.
Good pigmentation and glitter transfer.


Row 3:
Radar: Metallic brown, copper with gold glitter.
It's such a nice neutral color in this palette of jewel toned brights.

Damaged: Metallic emerald green.
Perfect pigmentation and absolutely one of my favorites in the palette!

Voodoo: Metallic purple with purple and magenta glitter.
Such an amazing, original color.

Betrayal: Satin purple and pink duo chrome.
Great pigmentation, a darker more blue based version of Urban Decays Fishnet eyeshadow.

Derailed: Metallic medium taupe-y brown.
Good pigmentation, but overall nothing too special


Row 4:
 Dope: Satin Champagne.
Probably one of the best champagne shadows I've ever seen!

Toxic: Metallic pink based copper with slight golden shimmer.
Amazing pigmentation and finish!

Habit: Matte nude.
Perfect as a highlight color for more olive skinned ladies.

Ambush: Metallic brown with a slight turquoise shift.
Great pigmentation, it just feels like every company is coming out with
a shade in this same color.

Rewind: Matte medium brown.
Nice pigmentation and a great color to neutralize any look!




This palette overall is a big hit for me. There's a great mix of shadows that can be used to create any type of look, from neutral everyday to the most extravagant night look! This is a great gift for any makeup lover this season, and a definite mush have!
This palette is available only for a limited edition, and at $59 it's a pretty good deal for all the shadows you receive!!

You can purchase your own Vice 2 Palette from Urban Decay, Sephora, Ulta and Beauty.com!

FOTD: Bruised Unicorn

Hello Dolls! I totally got set back on this months Glamour Doll Eyes Insider Program look. But somehow I managed to finish my final look a day before the dead line!
I originally planned on doing a nice blown out light purple look, but as you can see it took a completely different turn! It was one of those things where you can see where I was heading, yet you saw where everything went wrong.
I ended up making my eyes looked bruised and sickly, with a little touch of lime green in the center. But oddly enough I fell in love with the outcome.

FOTD: Ravishing Taylor (Featuring Glamour Doll Eyes)

Hello Dolls! Last months craziness ended up not only  putting me behind schedule but also Vanessa, the owner and creator of Glamour Doll Eyes. Her schedule ended up so crazy and chaotic that she put the Insider Program on hold and gave us a month long break from creating looks. It was a nice break last month since everything was so hectic, for what appears to have been a lot of people,  but once I received this months package I was so ready to dive right in and create new looks using all Glamour Doll Eyes pigments!

I ended up doing a look with what have been my go to colors lately, red and burnt orange. Only this time I ended up glitzing and smoking it up with a metallic red all over the eyelid and some black pigment!!

Review: Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Shame

Hello Dolls!
Today I bring you a review on one of the new Urban Decay Revolution lipsticks! I picked one up last week at my local Sephora after waiting for them to be stocked. 

Urban Decay release 22 brand new shades of lipstick to their already vast cosmetics line last month. 
Ranging from the simplest nude to the most beautiful dark plums. They're all marketed to be highly pigmented with a hint of "creamy shiny", long lasting and lip nourishing. 

Packaging: 
The lipsticks all come in a purple box with the Urban Decay logo and product name in silver, which tends to be UD signature packaging. On the box the lipstick shade name is written on a sticker that is the same color as the lipstick. 

 

The lipstick packaging itself is just beautiful!!
 The bullet is a amazing rose gold color with "Urban Decay" inscribed into the side and "UD" inscribed on the lid. The shade color is placed on a sticker at the bottom. The inside case that holds the lipsticks is a nice metallic maroon/purple shade that's a nice contrast to the elegant rose gold exterior. 

The packaging itself seems to be quite durable and heavy duty. UD did not skimp on the packaging for these lipsticks!
