Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Streak

I have have been eyeing the Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks for awhile. I've started off by getting the shade Streak. It's a coral peachy pink that is unlike any color in my current lipstick collection. I had seen the lipstick reviews and swatches online and in videos but when I ordered Streak online and actually opened the packaging I was really surprised by how much I like the lipstick tube! I think its really cute and chic. I also like the shape of the lipstick. The slanted flat top is easy to maintain and look nice. You can go for more of a sheer lipstick application with this if you wanted to or build up to something more opaque. It's super creamy and buttery and feel hydrating on the lips which is very important for me. These lipsticks also come with matching name lip pencils. Amazing.

There are a total of 22 shades (3 exclusive to urbandecay.com). There are so many other shades I want to try!!! Do you have a favorite?

Blue lines

For a subtle change in my every day makeup look, I've been wearing blue eyeliner instead of the usual black. I've been using the Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof eye liner in Deep Navy. I apply it with a Real Techniques Fine liner brush and while I used to think it would be really hard it's actually super easy to apply and get a nice defined line. Especially since I have such dark brown eyes, it's nice sometimes to have a little surprise in your eyeliner or mascara color to play up your eyes.

I topped it off with Urban Decay Big Fatty mascara which seriously gives you insanely full lashes. The wand is huge and can get a little messy but your lashes look fat. I don't wear this often because I usually go for waterproof formulas but for days when I know I don't want to be removing that waterproof mascara later in the night... this is the better option.

What do you think? Do you guys like wearing different color eye liners?

Review: Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette

I contemplated awhile before getting the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette. The bloggers I follow have much lighter skin tones than me and I just wasn't sure it would suite my skin tone. I swatched it many times in store before purchasing it and I'm so happy I did. The palette has 5 matte eyeshadows and 1 shimmery highlight. I have seriously used this palette almost every day. I love mixing Naked2 (taupe) and Faint (warm dusty brown) into my eye crease area. It creates a nice subtle depth to the eyes. It's such a versitile palette and so compact and great for travel. I love the big mirror and I highly recommend you go out and get this right now!

Here are the eyeshadows swatched on my hand from left to right as pictured. 

1. Venus 

2. Foxy

3. W.O.S. (Walk of Shame)

4. Naked2

5. Faint

6. Crave

As you can see Naked2 almost blends into my skin tone. My hands are a little darker than my face but you get the idea. I always mix this with Faint to create a nice midcolor for my crease. These are highly pigmented eyeshadows so a little goes a long way. These swatches are obviously straight from the pan without any blending - they blend to be much lighter if you want them to be!
