Urban Decay Perversion Mascara

Hi Angels, 

On the 13th of this month Urban Decay introduced a new member to their Perversion line.  It is Perversion Mascara. The brand says this mascara will give you the darkest lashes out there.

It boasts a creamy formula that is lump free.  Even after applying another coat to go out after work.  This mascara also had ingredients that will help protect and grow your lashes over time.  

Here is a look at the mascara courtesy of UrbanDecay.com:

Urban decay is also sending a free deluxe sample of their lash primer called Subversion when you order the mascara on their website.

I have to say I am curious.  I am currently in the market for a great mascara.  And since this mascara will give you Bigger, Blacker, Badder lashes, it might be worth trying it out. All of that for $22.00.   Like all other women I just want to look like I am wearing false lashes when I wear mascara.  Is that too much to ask for?  Lol

So Angels, anyone interested in a Bigger, Badder, Blacker lash?  Did you already purchase the mascara?  If so, what did you think? Let us know what your thought are.  The mascara can be purchased at Urban Decay.com for now until it is at a counter and store near you.  

Until next time Angels

Urban Decay Electric Palette

Hi Angels,

I am back with a review of one of the hottest palettes of this season.  Urban Decay just released a palette of bright pressed pigments called the Electric Pallete.  As the name states, this palette is not for anyone looking like the best selling Naked Palettes.  Shall we have a look? Here are some of my pics:

That's the cute packaging.  Here's a pic of the palette:

These are beautiful!  Let

Me introduce you to the colors. From the top left to right:

 Revolt-shimmery silver, Gonzo-matte turquoise with shimmer, Slowburn- matte range with shimmer, Fringe- shimmery teal

2nd row- Chaos- matte royal blue with shimmer, Jilted- matte purple with blue undertones, Urban- matte purple with shimmer, Freak- shimmery light green and Thrash- matte lemon yellow with shimmer.

Here are my swatches on NW43 skin: Revolt, Gonzo, Slowburn, Savage, Fringe.

2nd row from left to right: 

Chaos, Jilted, Urban, Freak and Thrash 

If you donot have  bright colors this covers all the ones you should have.  What's best is that it is all in one palette.  There is an insert that warns against using Slowburn, Savage, Jilted and Urban in the immediate eye area. So use at your own risk.  Slowburn and Savage also stain your lids so use a primer.

Urban Decay has done it again Angels!  This is a must have especially if you don't have bright colors in your collection.  The textures are smooth, pigmented with minimal fall out. I don't know what else I could say besides run don't walk and get it.  It is $49.00 at Sephora, Ulta, Macy's and Urban Decay.com.

So Angels, can you see yourself using these colors this summer or is this a pass?  Let us know what you think

Until next time Angels,

Urban Decay Naked Palette 3 Review and Swatches

Hi Angels!

On December 12th the third Naked Palette was released at your local Sephora, Ulta and Macy's department stores.  I snagged mine online as soon as it was available.  

This palette is described as a Rosey neutral.  That is the main difference between this and the other palettes.  

Stock photo here: 

Naked Palette 1 is a bronze based neutral palette.  It is great for those with skin that has warm tones.  It is seen here:

Naked Palette 2 is a Taupe based neutral palette.  It contained more matte colors as well.  I think this is best for people with cool tones.  Here is a pic of Naked Palette 2:

Now that we have been refreshed about the older palettes, let's look at Naked Palette 3.  Here is my palette:

These are the colors from left to right.

1. Strange-matte beige with a pearl sheen.

2. Dust- light pink frost

3. Burnout-pink shimmer 

4. Limit-matte nude pink

5. Buzz-medium nude pink frost

6. Trick- frosty rose gold

7. Nooner-medium matte rosy brown 

8. Liar-copper shimmer

9. Factory- deep copperyshimmer

10. Mugshot- shimmery taupe

11.Darkside-dark grey taupe

12. Black heart-a matte black with cranberry sparkle.

Here are the swatches on NW 43 skin:

With flash-

Without flash-

Here are the swatches by four:

Left to right-Strange, Dust, Burnout, Limit

Buzz, Trick, Nooner, Liar

Factory, Mugshot,Darkside,Blackheart

So what do I think?  Well if you have seen  my review of the LORAC unzipped palette then you know this us right up my alley.  This is chock full of beautiful warm neutrals that can be worn everyday.  It is housed in an easy travel case with a double ended brush.  Angels, don't walk, run and get this A.S.A.P.  It compliments the other palettes very well.  I've been asked a lot about whether or not it's worth it to get this palette if you have either of the other two.  My opinion is that this palette contains enough unique colors from the first two to be worth your money.  Take Naked Palette 2 & 3 or 1& 3  on a getaway to have all your bases covered. 

I hope this has been helpful to you.  Let us know if you have bought the palette or intend to get it!   

Until next time Angels,

Happy Haulin'!

Holiday Party Glam!!!

Hello Angels,

With Christmas and NYE fast approaching, we Pretty Prescribers know you will be wracking your brains and tearing through your closets looking for something chic to wear to all those parties that you've been invited to.
Here, we've created a look built around this amazing skirt (center) from Top Shop at Nordstrom:

Black Portofino blouse: Express, Only $35.94.
Via Spiga caged platform sandal booties: Bloomingdale's
Black embossed python clutch: Gigi New York
Kenneth Jay Lane emerald drop earrings: Amazon
Tassel Necklace:  J. Crew (pictured sold out), similar here.  Can also easily find on eBay!
Faux fur bolero: Nordstrom
UrbanDecay24/7 eyeliner in Goldmine: Sephora

A skirt this amazing with such eye-catching detail needs to be paired with relatively simpler details.  You want to look glamourous, not tacky and overdone!  If you're going for serious glam we like this faux fur jacket in lieu of a regular dress coat.  The classic jewels and clutch add refined, on-trend yet understated touches to this overall glam outfit.
And of course don't forget the makeup!  We love the many ways you can use eyeliner to instantly (and easily) glam up your makeup look without much fuss.  Urban decay's 24/7 pencil in Goldmine, applied in a thin line just above regular black eyeliner will draw lots of attention to your eyes all night.  For more info on different eyeliners that will also pair really well with this look, check out this post.

We hope you like it and maybe are inspired to pull pieces from your closet that you already own to re-create this look!  Please share your thoughts, questions and ideas in the comments.

Until next time,
Happy Holidays!

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

Hi Angels,

Psssssst, come in close.  I have some news for you.  One of our favorite brands, Urban Decay is coming out with a new palette.  It is Naked 3.  That is all the info you will find on Urban Decay.  This is on their website:

Luckily I am up at the wee hours of the morning and able to some snooping.  Looks like Sephora in France made a faux pas and released the palette early.  So some French bloggers have the palette already.  Gasp and sad face.

Here is a pic I was able to find:

They got on the good foot and made a warm palette with rosy tones.  Looks even warmer than my LORAC Unzipped palette which I love.  And since I don't have Naked 2, Naked 3 will be mine.  It will be available at the end of the month on Urban Decay's website.  Sephora, Ulta and Macy's should get in time for the Holidays.

Are you getting this palette?  Let us know if you will and when you do.  

Until next time Angels

Urban Decay Feminine Palette Review and Swatches

Sale alert Angels!

Back with a quick alert to let you know about a fabulous palette I came across at my local Sephora that was on super sale.  The Feminine palette, originally $36.00 is on sale for $14 in-store at Sephora and for $16 on their website:   Urban Decay Feminine Dangerous Fun Palettes

First, I'm a huge fan of Urban Decay palettes in general.  The Naked Palette 1 and 2 are easy faves, as well as the Smoked palette.  These are invaluable for me, especially when it comes to travel and glam on the go.  So I didn't hesitate to give this palette a shot at this low price.
Well I wasn't disappointed.  Their shadows are always high-impact, with impressive pigmentation and true to pan color.

Here is the palette:

These colors are just as the name denotes:  Feminine.  Soft and pretty, just about each shade could be worn alone but this incorporates well into any makeup lover's collection, and the colors aren't redundant.  

Here are swatches on my hand, from left to right, Bordello, Skimp, and AC/DC:

And Gunmetal, Hijack, Lost:

To boot, UD palettes always come with a cool little "bonus" like a brush, an eyeliner or in this case, a travel sized Lip Junkie lipgloss-- a pretty, modestly shimmery neutral shade that will work with any of the shades in the palette.  Here is a swatch:

Told ya these palettes are absolutely perfect for travel!

Well I can't wait to find a free moment to play with this palette and create some fun looks.   Overall I give this very high marks and recommend it not only because of the price (CAN'T be beat for UD eyeshadow) but also because of the quality.  Will keep you posted!

Until next time Angels.... Happy Haulin!

Naked Palette 2 Eyeshadow look and UD Revolution F-Bomb Lipstick

And I'm back Angels!

This time gabbin' about a fan favorite, yes yours and mine, Urban Decay's Naked Palette 2.

Just taking a moment to share a look I created the other day and paired with none other than Urban Decay lipstick (more later).  If you're not familiar with this palette here it is...  A gorgeous array of neutral colors.  Some with shimmer, some without and a nice true black all the way to the right to boot.  This is one of my favorite palettes and also something I love to use for travel.  Anyways enough about that-- Here's the look:

To achieve this look I used Bootycall on the inner corner and inner lid, Chopper across the mid lid, Busted to create a soft cut crease and I blended this toward the brow bone with Snakebite.  Finally I used Foxy on the brow bone/highlight area.  NYX liquid eyeliner was used on the top lid to create the wing and Chopper (with a wet smudger brush) was applied to the inner lower corner, followed by Urban Decay Perversion smudged into the lower lash line and applied to the waterline.  I finished the look off with Benefit mascara They're Real.  Eyebrows filled in with a combo of MAC spiked eyebrow pencil and Anastasia Beverly Hills powder. 

For the lips, since the eyes were very tame color wise I thought I'd punch it up with some red-- F-bomb from the Urban Decay Revolution lipstick line (lined with MAC Vino pencil) and here it is:

A word about this lipstick:  It's the "F-bomb".  In this color it went on smoothly, wore like a dream and lasted hours.  I love it and will be wearing it a lot this fall.  If you're considering purchasing, stop considering and get to buying.  Nuf said lol.  

This eyeshadow look would pair well with my other faves from the UD Revolution lipsticks collection:  Venom, Shame and Anarchy.  What's awesome about these besides their color and wear is that there is a matching 24/7 glide on pencil that bears the same name for each lipstick.  Maybe I'll do a separate post on those soon haha!    

Well I hope you ladies enjoyed.  Let me know what you think and if a step by step is requested by enough people I will happily post!  For now happy painting!!!

Urban Decay Vice Palette 2

Hello Angels,

I am afraid I have to apologize to you. I realize I bought the Urban Decay Vice Palette and I didn't give you all a review.  

Pssssst, that's not all. Come closer.  Urban Decay has just released Vice 2.  It contains 20 new colors for all us makeup junkies.  Here's a pic for you:

If it is anything like the first one, the shadows are pigmented with great color payoff.  I look forward to taking a look and swatching the shades.  I will review it  if I decide to buy it.  You can purchase it at your local Macy's, Ulta or sephora.  It can of course be purchased at Urban Decay.com.

Let me know if you see it, like it or better yet , buy it.

Until next time

Urban Decay Smoked Palette Smokey Eye Detailed Pictorial!

Hello Angels,

A smokey eye is a very versatile tool to have in your makeup repertoire.  It is very easy to wear during the day, in a professional setting, provided the right shades in the correct amounts are used.  As promised, here for your viewing pleasure is a detailed pictorial of everything I did to achieve this look:

 I used MAC Constructivist as as base and the following UD Smoked Palette colors:

Barlust, Backdoor, Blackout and Mushroom
















Consttructivist as a base/primer










Barlust on lid fro lashes to just above crease


Backdoor over eyelid from lashline to just below crease, or the mobile lid (to create a gradient of color)


 Blackout layered over backdoor, and this time cover even slightly less of the mobile lid

 

Blend, blend blend!!!!
Next Feline pencil to tightline the lower eyelid, and smudged along the lower lashline.  Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Perversion for the upper eyelid

  And......  Mascara (Benefit "They're Real!" is my current fave)

HAPPY PAINTING!!!!!

Urban Decay's Revolution Lipstick

Hello Angels,

I just received an email from Urban Decay about their brand new lipstick line.  This sounds very promising.  There are 22 colors that are long wearing.  Two of the shades are exclusive to UrbanDecay.com.  I really like their products so I will check these out next time I am in Ulta, Sephora or Macy's.  Check back for swatches and a full review.  

Meanwhile here's a cool video on how to use the lipstick for super long lasting color.

Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup setting spray Review

Hello Angels,

I am back with this quick gem.  I am currently in Mommy mode getting ready for a new addition to my family. If you've been pregnant before you know these hormones put you through a lot of changes.

I have the honor of being pregnant in the summer time.  This also means my makeup is coming off as I apply it.  One day in the midst of losing my face  I reached for a sample of Urban Decay's De-slick makeup setting spray.  After dabbing my brow I misted my face a couple of times and completed the look.    

Not only did it control my shine during my eight hour shift, all the colors on my face stayed vibrant as well.  I didn't have to touch up my breakthrough shine till it was time to go home.  To be perfectly honest, I got rid if it with a dab of tissue and no powder.  

Now I don't promise it will do exactly the same for everyone but I think it is definitely worth the 29.00 price and a try.  It is available at Sephora, Ulta, Macy's and Urban Decay.com.
