Urban Decay Haul!
Hello Lovelies! Today we are going to be reviewing some wonderful products that Urban Decay sent over for us to review! First, we would like to thank Urban Decay for sending over these products! We love UD, and we are so honored that we are able to review these products!
Here are the products that they sent over. They sent over the UD Primer Potion, the Afterglow Highlighting Palette, and the Naked Smokey Eye Palette.
Naked Smokey Palette
Here is the package for the Naked Smokey Palette. It is a very nice marble, high quality paper packaging. The letters are a metallic silver color.
This is the palette itself. It has the same marble design. It is a very heavy, high quality palette which I love.
This is the back of the palette,which has all the shade names.
Here is the inside of the palette. It has 12 beautiful warm colors, with a few cool colors. There are a nice blend of matte and shimmer shades, perfect for making a smoky eye. It also comes with a double ended blending brush.
Here are the swatches. All of these swatch are with 2 swipes of the finger in the pan. These shadows are so pigmented, creamy, and beautiful. I have never found more pigmented shimmer shades, and darker shades that are smooth, rather than chalky. There is no excess fallout, even with all the pigmentation.
Here is the double ended brush. I usually don't love brushes that come with palettes, but UD never disappoints. These brushes are so soft, and easy to blend with.
Afterglow Highlighting Palette
This is UD's new afterglow highlighter palette. It comes in a metallic rose gold packaging, which is so chic and beautiful.
It comes with 4 colors, named above and below.
When I first received this palette, it looked like these colors would be too dark for a fair skinned person like me; however, they swatch differently.
These colors are so pigmented, and buttery. They don't look as dark as they appear to be in the package. Each of these swatches is only one swipe of product.
If you are looking for an intense glow, this palette is definitely for you.
Eyeshadow Primer Potion
Here is the packaging for the UD primer potion. It has the original UD packaging of the black ombre with purple.
I love the packaging of this potion. It almost has a magical feeling to it.
Here is the applicator for the primer potion. This makes it super easy for application to the eyelids.
It doesn't have a smell, and it strongly white pigmented which is great for priming the eyes. It dries without creasing, and keeps shadows looking great for hours.
Ultra Violet Edge:
"Urban Decay has always stood for the empowerment of women—from the products they create to the causes they support. The Ultraviolet Edge, their global initiative to empower women, helps fund organizations that fight for the rights of women everywhere. Pooling together the money raised gives us the flexibility to support a variety of organizations that are doing incredible things to empower women. Since launching The Ultraviolet Edge in 2015, UD has donated $1.28 million to women's empowerment nonprofits. In 2017, their goal is to donate another $1 million; this puts them well on their way to their five-year goal of $3 million."
