There is something about limited edition that gives me excited tingles, like how when you were little you couldnt sleep Christmas eve, or if Halloween fell on a school day and the only talk was about costumes and not multiplication tables. Limited edition is my adult Halloween and Urban Decay is legit like my Santa (Ok so maybe if gone off the deep end with this comparison). But recently Urban Decay came out with a limited edition line, all centered around the 20th Anniversary of the cult classic film Pulp Fiction Below is my views on what i picked up from the line and if it is worth the money.

The mother load in this collection is the pallet which retails for $34 and is a four pan set up in a cardboard but magnetically closed little compact. For those out there who love urban decay you know Matte shades arent what they are know for, bold beautiful and lots of shine and glitter are usually the call of the day. So i was pleasantly surprised to see that three shades in this are totally matte with two, the lightest of the bunch, having a slight sheen, one more intense then the other. She shadows arent small and will last a while as most shadows really do. But what we really want to know it the stay power right?

As is the standard with UD shadows these do not disappoint. They are so soft, and blendable and the staying power is intense. I used a simple Elf primer on my lips the first time i used these and by the end of the night my eyes were the only thing still in place. They are colors you can build to bold or keep simple and everyday wear, for work or for school, and are a sound investment for any UD lover who doesnt have neutral shadows in matte from them. So you probably have dupes for there? Sure, its possible with nudes especially, but for those who love, collect makeup or just really like Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction, this is a must.

The next things i picked up, almost a week after i had my pallet to play with, and that was the liner and lipstick in the set, both aptly named Mia Wallace. They are in the same packaging as UD's other liners and lipsticks but the boxes were special packaging.

The Lipstick is so creamy when going on can you say love? This is my first Urban Decay lipstick and all i can think of is getting more. They are so creamy and moisturizing. I thought that without a doubt because they were so creamy it would have no staying power but even worn alone without the liner i still had lipstick on after i ate dinner! It feels so smooth on and the color is PERFECT to usher in the cooler fall weather that will be on its way soon!

I have learned that not all lipliners are created equal. I do have some drug store ones im in love with (And will do a post about for you guys soon) But my baby when it comes to liner, lip and eye alike, is Urban Decay. Usually i do my nude lips with UD liner because of the staying power and i wasnt dissapointed with this one. ITs so creamy and pigmented that it could be worn alone, or with a gloss, or paired with the lipstick. There really is no short coming for this liner at all and i think everyone should have atleast one UD liner even if its not from this collection.

The swatches here, as well as the ones above, are all single swiped onto my skin, so imagine building these colors, with a light or heavy hand the staying power is so intense!

What do you guys think of this line? Will you be picking up any of the bits they have? Any others you know of coming out soon you cant wait to get your hands on?

Have a wonderful Tuesday ladies!

August Ipsy Bag!

August usually isn't my month. Here in the north east we get lots of rain, intense heat and 100% humidity all day everyday. The one thing that really has been something I'm looking forward to is Ipsy! And this months bag was one of my favorites! Wanna see what I got? 

Now this months theme was school, and with some already back and other heading there I thought that was a very cute idea.

The bag is white and tangerine, with a plain white interior. It's long and very like a pencil case which is fitting with the theme. It's a nice size, and it fits nicely in my purse though it also would serve as a really cute pencil case for any ipsy subbie who might need it.

The first product is one I actually already have but really nobody can have to many primers right? It is the pores no more by dr Brandt. I've not used it a lot and not a great smell but it does do the job though I don't have large pores primers help as I prefer bb creams over heavy foundations.

The second is. Lip balm and I actually have this as well but again something you can never have to much of. Though if I don't use my other soon I'll probably gift it to my mom. But I love the absolute New York balms and own three to date.

Next was something I was really excited about as I own zero Costal Scents things and it takes me forever to hit pan on a blush. It's a fun little duo and handy for travel. And yes that is a coupon code given to us for more makeup fun so everyone who needs it go for it ^_^

Now this lord & berry kajal kohl liner is a tiny sample that's true but it's still something I was so excited to try and from the two times I've used it since I got my bag it's amazing! It has staying power and I've needed makeup wipes and an oil to remove it completely from my eyes.

And the last product, and one I've been so so so excited about was the new Urban decay perversion mascara! I've used this everyday since I got it and I'm so in love. It lengthens so much and gives me some curl so I haven't touched my lash curler all week! I'm in love and will be getting the full size when this one is done. It might even be upsetting my holy grail better then sex mascara, I know I was shocked to! 

What did you lovelies get in your ipsy bags this month and did you love it?

My Freeman's Collection!

There are some days that are just rough. Heavy day at school, hectic one at work, family issues or relationship problems. When we have times like this we find ways to comfort ourselves. For me, it's pampering, and i prefer pampering on a budget. I do have some high end bits but when it comes to this I go with old faithful, the things that have been comforting me since I was in high school. Freeman's make amazing masks and for under 5 bucks you can't beat how they help after a hard day.

Now these are completely different types of masks. Some are peel offs, some scrubs, some are moisturizing and some are drying, they really do have something for every type. Depends on what are you looking for. The ones I have I use for different bits and at different times. You can do a whole facial, like I can with these, for under $20 which is amazing quality and quantity. And best yet you can find these at any drug store. There are ways to turn a tiny fund for pampering into date nights with yourself. Maybe that should be a new series featured here on the blog? Pampering on a budget. What do you guys think?
