Review: Urban decay lip primer potion


I found myself in dire need of a lip primer due to my dissapointment with Sephora's sampler. Urban Decay has always been my friend so I figured if their eye primer is that awesome, the lips may appreciate the same. To add to that.... Only a few companies make lip primer. Benefit was my only other choice & between the two, my stellar loving relationship with Urban Decay shot Benefits chance out of the water. So far the lip primer has been extending the life of my lip color. (as well as can be expected with Sephora's 5 minute lip color.) I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up.

Review: Sephora's answer to all gift sets.

With the holidays coming around again, I know I'm in store for a treat. I love love love shopping for makeup at this time since a strategically spent $50 or $60 can get you a makeup sampler that becomes a real game changer. Sephora, you're up to bat. 

Last year, I gave Urban Decay a chance. I went out on a limb this year and purchased Sephora's Studio Kit. It brings a huge mirror, eye color (entire top level), lip color (two mid levels), eye liner (bottom drawer), bronzer & blush (bottom drawer), and a few applicators (bottom drawer). Should I say a 50$ well spent? I'm still on the fence about that. I've had to but primer for my lip color & eye color (from none other than Urban Decay) 


 Lips. The lip color simply doesn't last without primer! It drives me nuts. There are some pretty nice colors in the palette though & they blend well with my skin... something I was not expecting. Nonetheless, I'm happy to be experimenting with lip color. That is my new venture. 

 Eyes. I have a pressing need for a color wheel. With so many colors to choose from, I go in every direction at once. Looking for an app pronto. However, I Love the eyeliner. I purchased brushes (LINK) which I'll also blog about, but the sleepover brush takes to it perfectly. It glides on with ease, I love it.


Ridiculous Deal: Finally a dream I can weave myself

I've been looking for affordable clips for a long time. Who knew that I would've find them in the hood? DIY hair extensions are the effing bees knees. Not only do they look natural, Dream Weaver extensions are easy to install and mantain.




Available in so many different colors and lengths, I'm impressed with this product.
