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!!!

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: 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! 

FOTD: Hay Foxxie

Hello Dolls!! What two looks in a row in less than a week?! Whhaaat?!

It's been a while since I got to play with makeup as much as I have been these past couple of days! About four days ago I received Glamour Doll Eyes new Instagram collection in the mail and fell in love with the colors!

 I decided to go with a different color combination than I normally would use. I used burnt orange, and burgundy colors in the crease and lower lash line and a bright cyan blue all over the eyelid!

FOTD: Sweet Damson

Hello Dolls! I can not believe it has been a month since I last posted on here! Work has been kicking my ass and I finally have a decent break for the next four days!! I haven't done anything but winged liner and mascara for the past month so I really wanted to have something dramatic going on! You guys have no idea how good it feels to have all of this makeup on for the first time in a month!

I kept it really warm and smoky using all MAC shadows and one of the new pressed pigments. I broke open my new Urban Decay Lipstick for this look as well! I just went all out with boldness in my eyes and lips! 

It's gonna take a bit to get used to writing posts again so, I'm sorry for the rambling, and I hope you enjoy the look!

FOTD: Toxic Grape Smoky Eye

Hello Dolls! Today I bring you the second look using all Glamour Doll Eyes. I didn't have a specific idea in mind when creating this look, I was just playing around with shadows and came up with this dark cool toned smoky eye. The lip color was also a small accident. I used two lipsticks to unintentionally make this peach colored lip. (probably the only peach color that would ever suit me)

 I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome of the entire look and I hope you guys enjoy this look as much as I do. 

FOTD: Frigid Vigilante

Hello Dolls! This past week the weather here in Connecticut has been so up and down lately. Two days ago it was beautiful and snowing, yesterday it was gloomy and raining and now it's sunny and frigid. Being a Texas girl I thought I was done with the menopausal weather, but I guess not. I've been completely in love with the light snow that was off and on for a couple of days, and I became inspired after snapping a picture of my back yard three days ago. This looks is blue and silver and all kids of cold. 

This is also my first looks using all Glamour Doll Eyes for March.

This was the picture I snapped that inspired the colors of this look.

FOTD: Bulletpoof!

Hello Dolls! I saw a look like this on Beautylish  couple of weeks back. That look was done using Urban Decays Chaos, a bright almost neon royal blue, sadly this shadow was a limited edition color. And sadly for me I never got my greedy little hands on that color, but last week I got a package from Concrete Minerals. In that package came a color very very similar to Chaos!! I decided to recreate the look using the products I had in hand and came out with this. 

-I tried out a new foundation while doing this look an completely hated it when I was photographing my look!! So, please excuse if my foundation inst up to par and washes me out a bit-

FOTD: Bright Purple Smoky Eye

Hello Dolls! Today I bring you look #2 of my Glamour Doll Eye Insider Program. Since all of the colors I had were bright and there where various purples in there I had to do something using them both, and since I have been completely obsessed with bringing fall inspired smoky eyes into the spring color trends I decided HEY!! Why not a bright purple smoky eye?! I absolutely love how this turned out, but the pictures do absolutely no justice as to how the bright the purple really is. I hope you guys enjoy this look!!!

FOTD: Tropical Sunrise

Hello Dolls!!! I bring you today the first of four looks using all Glamour Doll Eyes! I know this is probably not what you'd imagine wearing on Valentines Day, but I couldnt wait to do this combination of colors. It was the first thing that popped into my head when I opened up my package and saw the colors!! There's a hint of bronzy gold and an amazing teal. I absolutely fell in love with Island Chic.

 

FOTD: Superbowl Sunday

Hello Dolls!! So today the Baltimore Ravens and the San Fran 49 went head to head in the Superbowl.   Now, personally I am not a football fan, I'm more of a baseball girl, but considering a lot of people where showing team spirit and at the request of my boyfriend I decided to do something different. I had just received MAC's Blue Lipmix I went for it and completely fell in love with it. This also gave me a chance to give this product a run for its money and give me a chance to review it thoroughly. The review will be up in a day or so. 

FOTD: Peachy Greens

Hello Dolls!! This has such been such a stressful week. Have you guys ever had a week that couldn't seem to get any worse but then does?! That's been my week. My dog bumped my MAC of my bed and now it wont turn on so I'm using my boyfriends old school computer. Unpacking is a pain and makeup just hasn't been working for me. So today I was so happy that my makeup came out well. I wanted to go for something a tad bit brighter, but almost pastel. I did an awesome double liner but it was such a bitch to get a decent picture of it, so excuse the bad picture of that.  I used all Glamour Doll Eyes for this look. Hopefully everything starts turning around for me and I can upload better post for you guys. Thanks for all the love. 

FOTD: New To Town

Hello Dolls! For the first time in what seems like a month I decided to do my makeup all out. It's my first full day in Connecticut and since I'm going out with some friends tonight I decided to do something a little dark so I ended up with a "sandwich" smokey eye meaning one color on the inner and outer lid and another in the centre.  I used all Glamour Doll Eyes for this eye look. 

FOTD: Vegas Glitter

Hey dolls! Long time no see. I've been a bit MIA this past week, I know. I've been getting ready for a big move, and life is just catching up to me. I finally had time to do something with my face today, and decided to go all out. I received my first order of Lit Cosmetics Glitter in the mail yesterday and thought I'd take it out for a test run today. I did this look today, inspired by the dying leaves on the trees. Suprisingly that's happening in Texas, you know because it's the first day of December and it's still 72 degrees Fahrenheit. -_-

FOTN: Breaking Dawn Part 2 Premier

Tonight I went out with my mum and brother to watch the midnight premier of Breaking Dawn Part 2. I decided to go with some natural eyes and vampy red lips. I decided that this was the perfect timing to test a product out for an upcoming review and totally went for it! I loved how it came out!!

FOTD: Shiny Slate

Hey Dolls. Yesterday I decided to play with my new OCC Glitters that I purcchased from Beauty.com over the weekend. In order to help review this for you guys later there was no better way than to play with them! I created a sliver and black smokey eye, using the glitter to add an extra BAM!

Review: UD Smoked 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Set

Last week I headed up to my local Ulta in search of more makeup I could use for my upcoming Halloween looks. The moment I walked into the store I was flashed in the face with Urban Decays new products for the holiday season. Like every one I was aware of the new palettes and foundations, but I was not aware that they where releasing a pack of eyeliners that matched their recently released Smoked Palette. I reviewed this palette two weeks ago, and since I loved it so much I had to have these liners!!

For $38 you will receive 6 eyeliners. You end up paying a little over $6 per liner! They are not full sized liners, but a decent size non the less. 

The packaging isnt that great, but when it comes to buying eye liners the package it comes in doesn't really matter to me because I put all my eyeliners in a small container. 

I will say prying the eyeliners out of the wedges they're in can be a bit of a hassle. Mine where so tightly in there that I had to get a small pin and pry them out. 

Gunmetal Smoke

A couple of days ago I finally started playing with my new Urban Decay smoked palette. I was heading to work and wanted something smokey but not too over the top. I used four of the ten shadows to create this look, and I really like how this turned out. It's quite smokey, yet very subdued compared to normal smokey eyes. 

Halloween Look: Creepy Doll

Yay! It's my favourite time of the year! Halloween time! With this comes fall, cooler weather, candy corn, trick or treating, and Halloween! And with Halloween comes the opportunity to dress up without being judged. So I've taken it upon myself to do a Halloween look every day that I can. Tonight, is the first installment.
