Stuck On You: Urban Decay “Primer Potion” @ Beauty.com
Brand: Urban Decay
Color:Urban Decay’s Primer Potion
Price: $15.00
Want It: If you are at all into eyeshadow and makeup, you should be well aware of this product already, and if you aren’t, shame, shame on you! This is one of the most loved and praised of all possible bases for eyeshadows. Although I personally use MAC pigments in conjunction with mixing medium, Urban Decay’s Primer Potion did not steer me wrong in the least. It really did make my makeup last all day and wouldn’t let it budge regardless of what I was doing. This stuff makes your shadow stick and keeps you looking great!
DIY Face Palette: NARS’ “Sugarland” Eyeshadow Duo @ Beauty.com
Brand: NARS
Color: Sugarland (Many other colors available)
Available at: NARS Sugarland Eyeshadow Duo
Price: $31.00
Want It: One of my first eyeshadows was a NARS deep brown. Even though I have long since swapped it away, NARS is one of my favorite lines to drool over. They have such gorgeously packaged products with tantalizing colors to look at and swatch. I love this particular duo because of the softness of the highlighter and rosiness of the pink - to me, this is more like a perfect face palette for something subtle and easy to do on the go.
Pool Side Beauty: Urban Decay’s “Flipside” Eyeshadow @ Beauty.com
Brand: Urban Decay
Color: Teal (Many other colors available)
Available at: Urban Decay’s Flipside Eyeshadow
Price: $16.00
Want It: Many know primarily as a MAC maven, and by all means, that’s pretty much true, but I do believe that other brands are worth taking a look at and that they do work quite well. I think Urban Decay has a great line of products that offer consumers a variety of colors and textures. Flipside is one gorgeous color, with a smooth texture, and decent color payoff.
Brow Beauty: Tweezerman “Slant Tip Tweezers” @ StrawberryNet.com
Brand: Tweezerman
Color: Black (Pink, Sky Blue, White, Purple)
Available at: Tweezerman Slant Tweezer - Black
Price: $20.00
Want It: I am obsessive-compulsive when it comes to my brows. I tweeze every other day, and sometimes daily depending on how I feel. This is my favorite pair, by far, because of how precise and sharp they are. I can get nearly every possible out of place hair I can spot (with a magnified mirror!) and then some. Perfect. Expensive, but totally worth it! I believe Tweezerman also offers free sharpening for life, though there is a shipping fee (something like $5, I think).
Oiled in Sin: Urban Decay “Sin” Perfume Oil @ Makeup.com
Brand: Urban Decay
Color: Not Applicable
Available at: Urban Decay Pefume Oils Scent: Sin
Price: $18.00 ![]()
Want It: I absolutely adore this scent - it’s like a slightly sweeter Dior Addict, in oil form. This is a great way to take a seductive scent on the go, because of its compactness, it’ll fit perfectly in any purse - from a wristlet to a ten gallon sack! Plus, it is pretty long lasting, so you won’t have to worry about it rubbing off easily.
Lip Lessons: MAC Cosmetics “Prep + Prime Lips” @ BuyBeauty.com
Brand: MAC Cosmetics
Color: Primer
Available at: MAC Prep + Prime - Lips
Price: $13.00 ![]()
Want It: Ever wonder how makeup artists manage to get their lipstick/lipglass to stay on all day, or at least far longer than you yourself can? One answer is MAC’s Prep + Prime for lips, which is a great base for underneath lipsticks and liners. Check it out at a slightly discounted price, courtesy of BuyBeauty.
Desert Dreams: Chanel “Dream Vacation” Set
Brand: Chanel
Color: Rouge, neutral
Available at: Chanel Dream Vacation Set 3 Piece Set
Price: $79.99 ![]()
Want It: A perfect beauty gift set–and who doesn’t love to receive Chanel–complete with Auburn brow definer, bronzer, and lipstick in Bermuda. As they say, it is a Dream Vacation packed into one.
Beauty Addictions: MAC Cosmetics “Flashtronic” & “Rushmetal”
Brand: MAC Cosmetics
Color: Tons ![]()
Available at: MAC Cosmetics
Price: Varies
Want It: Okay, if you know me, you probably know me first and foremost as a MAC addict. I’m okay with that, really. I mean, it’s the equivalent of a drug addiction, only more expensive. I digress, though. MAC just released two new fabulous collections featuring an array of great products from eight new limited edition pigments (pictured above), metallic lipsticks, mineralize eye shadows and skinfinishes… there really is too much to list, so go check it out for yourself either at the company’s website or at your local counter/store. If you want to know more about the individual products, head over to Temptalia to read my reviews.
