Urban Decay Urban Essentials Eye Kit

I was browsing RosesBeautyStore and came across this set and bought it straight away. It is exactly the sort of set that appeals to me and Urban Decay doesn’t release kits/sets very often.
The packaging for the kit is purple themed and kind of amethyst inspired. It has a card sleeve that you slide off to reveal the box itself, which is made of cardboard. It has a flip up lid with a magnetic close and when you lift it up there is a black insert which contains the seven products. Six of the products are full size and the seventh is a sample size. The insert can be removed and you can re-use the box.
You get a 2ml sample tube of the Eyeshadow Primer Potion in the Original shade, which dries transparent. The full size 10ml tube is worth £16.00 and is available in three shades. I have used this primer before and already own a couple of tubes. It is a great primer and a trusted favourite of mine.

You get three full size 1.5g eyeshadows, which retail for £14.00 each.
Bordello - pale mauve with gold glitter (shimmer, glitter)
Sellout - pink champagne (shimmer)
Psychedelic Sister - deep amethyst (shimmer)
These are three shades you wouldn’t necessarily think go together, but they do work and look beautiful blended together. They all have amazing pigmentation and are just pretty shades. I think my favourite is Bordello.

You also get three full size 1.2g 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils, which sell for £15.50 each.
Demolition - deep brown with a matte finish
Psychedelic Sister - bright creamy purple
Zero - zealous matte black
I already own a lot of these pencils and they are my favourite pencil eyeliners, I am a little addicted to them and buy all the sets that contain them (I have a problem). I already have a few Zero pencils, but Demolition and Psychedelic are new to me. They are all creamy, non-smudging and very easy to apply but they can be a little pain to take off. They can also be used on your waterline/tightline.
I really like this kit. The three eyeshadows are perfect shades for me and I love any of the eyeliner pencils. It is always nice getting a tube of eye primer too. This product will definitely appeal to a lot of people and is a good place to start if you are new to UD products. If I was creating a starter kit or essentials kit, I would probably use more neutral shades, but all the colours in this kit do go together. The good thing is the price (I bought it for £45.00); if you were to buy each product separately you would be spending around £90.50, so this kit is definitely worth the price tag.

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes. Swatch Stencil: Stripes Double 14 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk Virgin - bone white (M) Good Morning - soft pink ...

Make-Up Declutter 2022

This is the last ever declutter post I will be sharing with you. I have lost interest in really experimenting with my make-up looks so I thought it was time for another declutter.

The brands of products I have decluttered are; BECCA, Benefit, Kaleidos, MAC and theBalm.   EYES Single Powder Eyeshadows - 9 Single Cream Eyeshadows - 3 Single Liquid Eyeshadows - 1   That is a total of 13 eye products.
