| Urban Decay - Naked On The Run |
This is beautiful. I strongly suggest buying this. In true Urban Decay style the eyeshadows are buttery smooth, easy to blend and gorgeous colours. You get two matte shades and three shimmer shades all of which are perfect for a smokey night time look, or a simple daytime look.
The bronzer is completely matte and a lovely natural colour that really warms up the face. The eyeshadow in the bottom right is also beautiful applied as a highlighter to the top of the cheekbones for a subtle, lit-from-within glow. It's also beautiful as an all base colour for your eyeshadow. The blush isn't quite my colour, I usually go for darker blush shades, however perhaps as the weather gets better I'll find more use for this.
The lip gloss is lovely also, not sticky at all and a gorgeous pinky-mauve colour that's very 90s and very in at the moment. It does make the lips look plump and looks gorgeous over a nude lipstick for a more glamorous effect.
I don't think I've ever tried a mascara that I don't like, as I have naturally quite long and curly lashes, so I wouldn't take my opinion too seriously here but the Perversion Mascara is very lengthening, adds a lot of volume, and most importantly for me - is jet black.
Last, but not least, is the 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Stag. This eyeliner is very black, very easy to use, sets really well and stays on for quite some time. It's the first high end eyeliner I've used and I can see a difference in quality from my trusty Rimmel Eyeliners, however for the price I think Rimmel might have an edge here. It is however a very buttery liner, doesn't pull on the eye, is very precise, can create a very thin, defined line if that's what you require, and works well in both the waterline, and on the eyelid. I really like tight lining with this for a more dramatic effect on a nigh time look - that and the Perversion Mascara creates much fuller looking lashes with a lot more volume at the root.
This a great product for travel because you'd only need to take your base products along with this, however the packaging is slightly bulky. This is probably just my issue, but I also find it really difficult to remove the lipgloss from the packaging as it is quite well fitted. I've actually taken to holding my hand over everything else and tipping the packaging upside down.
I bought mine for £37 from Debenhams. I think this is excellent value for money and well worth investing in. I will be taking it with me on my travel's this year and I will update you with how I get on with it! Please keep in mind this is a limited edition item so grab yours while you can.
All eyeshadows in this limited edition kit are completely new shades apart from the large shadow on the bottom right, the lipgloss is full size and the mascara and eyeliner are travel sized.
Until next time,
