I know, I know, I’m late as usual. Don’t judge me. My peaceful NYE i planned to spend in my bed somehow turned into a night of partying with the family. I was in rush to get to the festivities because of the last minute change of plans and didn’t get a chance to get any real pics of my makeup, which was FAB if i do say so myself! Enjoy these phone pics for now and maybe I’ll recreate the look again and take some better pics.

These pics really do the shadows no justice AT ALL! The black shadows had a rainbow holo glitter that really made my eyes sparkle and the shimmery blue on the inner corner really popped. Of course I put on the biggest lashes I could find and my new favorite nude lip combo!

Black Friday Haul: Urban Decay Smoked Palette

I’M BACK AGAIN! WOOT! WOOT! GO ME! I know it’s late but I’m finally sharing my Black Friday haul. I’m going to split it up over a few posts because it would be entirely too many pictures.

First up is the Urban Decay “Smoked” palette. This palette was released a few months ago and I’ve been eyeing it wondering if I really need another palette… guess what?… I do!… lol there’s no such thing as “too many” palettes.

Description

An Urban Decay take on the always-popular smoky eye, this 10-shadow palette includes traditional black and gray, as well as modern-colored hues for smoky eyes. Each velvety shade features Urban Decay’s new shadow formula and proprietary Pigment Infusion System™, allowing infinite depth to your eye looks, whether you commit to all-out nighttime smoky or just apply a hint of sultry smudgy color for daytime.

This shadow arsenal comes with a comprehensive how-to booklet by the brand’s co-founder, Wende Zomnir, who inspires even smoky-eye pros to try something new, and teaches shadow newbies in simple, easy steps. A full-size 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion and travel-size Eyeshadow Primer Potion are included to ensure a rock-solid result no matter how you get smoked.

“Perversion” liner

**swoons** I’m pretty sure this it the blackest black liner that I have and I love it!

I cant wait to use this palette for some awesome “going out” looks! The “smokey eye” possibilities are endless with this palette, UD definitely has another winner on their hands with this one!

What did you buy on Black Friday??

I’m pretty sure my mom got me the “Vice” palette for Christmas too! YAY! Urban Decay overload!
