primer posion

Hello pretty faces, 

I made a blog post about Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray and I talked about how much I liked it. When I bought a setting spray I also picked up this primer. Everyone knows Urban Decay primers and everyone is always talking about them. 

I have very oily eyelids and I always wanted to get this as I thought this would solve my problems. When I saw primer potion at the airport I thought I would by a travel size and see how I get on with it. The 10ml original tube costs £16 and a travel size is 5ml and it costs £8. I think this is brilliant, it is half the size and half the price. It also comes in three colours.

I didn't want to buy the whole thing just in case I don't like it. Now, you see when you have high hopes for something you really want to be surprised, and I was but in a negative way. I didn't really like this primer. It didn't prolong the eyeshadow wear. The blending was a lot easier and more vibrant but I wasn't looking for that, I was looking for long wearing product. 

Now that I got to use it a little bit more I am ok with it. I will not repurchase it though. 

When I use this I put a Collection eyeshadow pencil on top and then I add any eyeshadows. This way my eyeshadow stays put all day. Well it creases a little bit but not so much you can see it. 

I love using this eyeshadow stick on it's own but I find that with Urban Decay primer it stays on a little bit longer. 

What primer do you use?

All nighter

Hello lovely people, 

I have never owned a setting spray however, I used setting sprays once or twice before and I kind of liked it. 

While I was at the airport I saw Urban Decay counter and I really wanted to try the setting spray. They were selling both travel size and original size, I picked up travel size. I do not want to invest my money into something I am not too sure about. Of course this wasn't cheap (£9 for a 30ml) it is still better than buying the whole this and not liking it. I had high hopes for this and I really like it. Of course it's not a spray that will make your make up stick forever, we sweat and produce a lot of oil that are stronger than setting sprays, so your make up does break down and disappear eventually. With this product I found that it takes a little bit longer to fade away and when it is fading it is fading away nicely and evenly. I spray the spray about three to four times mainly in my T zone. 

I am convinced that it last a while because I used it every day for two weeks and I still have a lot of left.

The original size, 118ml, costs £22 and they have two different setting sprays. One is the original one that I have and there is also Oil Control for those who get super oily.  

I highly recommend this product, in fact not just this particular one, I highly recommend a setting spray. I think it is a great innovation and we should really use it. 

This particular one is on a pricy side however, there a drug store brands that do setting sprays so you can try those too. 

Do you use a setting spray? How do you prolong your make-up? What setting sprays have you used? 

Yours Izabele

Urban Decay Naked 3

Urban Decay palettes where always good and it has many colours in them. Although the colours are very natural it does suit everyone really. It is quite expensive I would say but it is a lovely product to have on hand. Having said that there are few downfalls with this palette. One of them is that you get fall outs and it doesn't help since most of the colours have glitter particles in it which leaves your whole face glittery. Another downfall is that some colours aren't as pigmented, for example a golden colour that I have is not a colour is a golden glitter which gives the golden shine but not the pigment itself. 

The colours are (from left to right) :Strange, Dust, Burnout, Limit, Buzz, Trick, Nooner, Liar, Factory, Mugshot, Darkside, Blackheart. My favourite colours are: Strange, trick, nooner, liar, factory,mugshot and blackheart. I feel like you can do so much with this palette whether it is just one colour on your eyelids or a few colours for smokey eye-look. The pigmentation of this palette is really good and the colour are very pretty. I feel like this palette is very pink orientated but 1 and 2 isn't. I really like this palette and for people that love to have natural eye make up I highly recommend this palette. It costs £38 but Urban Decay do have basic palettes based on naked palettes which are a little cheaper.
All in all I like this product even with it' downfalls and I will be using it often especially in autumn season as I think these colours can be autumnal.  

Yours Izabele
