Urban Decay Eyeshadow

== URBAN DECAY EYESHADOW PRODUCT DESCRIPTION == This review will be on the Urban Decay powder eyeshadow 1.5g individual compacts. These best selling Urban Decay products come in a range of over 50 shades of everything from wacky brights to more subtle neutrals, but all with a hint of shimmer or a pop of colour to make them that little bit unusual! Urban Decay made their name as an edgy, fearless brand. Even the name, the proces by which a city ...
...and sex appeal. Same for Urban Decay. They aren't selling glossy perfection, they are selling a party lifestyle and the look to match. And yet somehow, urban Decay have also managed to make a name for themselves as a makeup brand loved by makeup artists and not just party girls. The packaging and ethos are purely superficial - at the core of this brand are well made makeup products that do the business. === The Range === As I said, this comes in ...

Review of Urban Decay Eyeshadow

Urban Decay, how glad I am that I found you, my make-up bag will never be without you anymore! Whilst browsing the make-up shelves of my local Boots store for something a little more exciting than my usual purchases, I came across the Urban Decay range of products. It looked modern and funky with a wide range of products to choose from. As soon as I spotted the eyeshadows I fell in love with them. On the shelf they attracted my eye because they ...
...a cute box with an Urban Decay design across the front. On the top is a coloured sticker in the colour of the eyeshadow with the name of the colour written on it. On the back it lists the ingredients (femininity, danger and fun! Plus a load of chemicals that I won’t bore you with now). The pot is silver with a see-through piece of plastic in the top and a flip lid. They are really great looking pots nothing like I had before in my make-up bag. ...

Review of Urban Decay Eyeshadow

...when I first started using Urban Decay eyeshadow, but it's had a key role in my makeup bag ever since I can remember. Urban Decay is a trendy cosmetic company which came about when the cofounder couldn't find the right shade of purple to suit her alternative style. They don't test on animals (which is always a good thing!), and list all the ingredients on their website - www.urbandecay.com - so you know exactly what's in the products, making it ...
...the regular UD eyeshadow. Urban Decay Eyeshadows comes in no less than 50 different shades, and the colour variation is remarkable. You can find the most gorgeous neutral shimmers like 'sellout' - a pink champagne shimmer, to eyecatching, attention-grabbing 'crash' - a deep eggplant with lots of copper glitter. Each shadow is loaded with colour and very pigment rich (I prefer them over MACs pigments). They come in a little metal compact with a windowed ...

Review of Urban Decay Eyeshadow

...and was drawn to the Urban Decay counter, looking all funky and trendy and er.... expensive! I've read a few reviews on Urban Decay products of late and my beautiful friend Karly (a never hair out of place kind of girl) swears by the metallic eyeliners and bought one in every colour! She always looks fabulous and bang on trend so I got looking and testing all the products out. I immediately fell in love after seeing and testing this colour! What ...
...hint of gold. What Urban Decay Say About This Product.... This is the product we were born to make - our best-seller! Professionals, celebrities, and makeup junkies swoon for our wide array of shades. Each one is pigment-rich: we load the shadow with color, and add very few binders (the stuff that holds shadow together), resulting in beautiful color that blends easily and lasts. Lots of finishes to suit your mood: sparkle, shimmer, duotone or un-sparkly ...

Review of Urban Decay Eyeshadow

...Then I stumbled across Urban Decay on the internet and read up a bit about them and thought that these might just work. So I ordered 1 to begin with and now have 5 different shades, Graffiti (Green), Fishnet (Purple), Sting (Magenta), Adore (Royal Blue) and Peace (Sky Blue). They are funky, young colours that are great for someone wanting something ‘a bit different’. WHERE TO GET THEM I have read that you can buy them from Boots but I have never ...
...and lists the address of Urban Decay along with their website, www.urbandecay.com. Once you open the lid you see a rectangular slot where the eyeshadow is kept and on the inside of the lid is an oval mirror, which can be quite handy at times. Unfortunately the eyeshadow doesn’t come with it’s own applicator which for me is a big downside as it meant I had to go and buy one as all my current ones were nearly falling apart!

Review of Urban Decay Eyeshadow

...stage. I knew he wore Urban Decay make-up, so thought that if it lasted sweaty rock stars, it should last me for a while! Urban Decay is a company which makes cosmetics in alternative colours, and does not test on animals (some products are vegan too). Their product philosophy is that as well as choosing the right colours, they choose the best ingredients to make their cosmetics of the highest quality to keep their loyal customers. They state that ...
...since and almost exclusively use Urban Decay eye shadow now. The first time I used their eye shadow it just seemed to glide on, and as they say a little bit does go a long way. The colours are really intense too, and definitely last all night. If you do pick up a shadow box or two, it will probably last you quite a long time - I still have mine from four years ago; there is such a selection of colours and not any need to re-apply it takes ages to ...

Review of Urban Decay Eyeshadow

Do you find the regular eyeshadow colours on offer too run of the mill? Are you looking for make-up that will make you stand out from the crowd? Or are your glitter requirements simply not being met? Then this is the eyeshadow for you! Okay, enough of the cheesy voiceover…for now anyway! These gorgeous little pots of colour were created to satisfy those people who wanted a wider range of alternative colours in their make-up range. Now these ...
...they did when they were launched- with a huge celebrity following including Gwen Stefani, Kylie Minogue and Madonna- but they are still guaranteed to turn heads! The range of colours is immense, including Hotpants (a shocking pink), Asphyxia (a two tone purply-blue), Oil Slick (black loaded with rainbow microglitter particles) and Envy (a metallic peacock green-blue). If you don’t feel quite brave enough to pull off such bold colours, don’t ...

Review of Urban Decay Eyeshadow

...eye shadows because I though Urban Decay was a young and funky range… not for my age to be playing with but I was immediately impressed by the originality of the colours, I was allured so to speak and I bought myself a whole pallet to have at my disposal. They are indeed a little bit expensive but because they were so original it didn’t bother me. The colours are always original, even if at first sight some of the colours seem uniform, looking at ...
...I do not however praise Urban Decay eye shadow 100% because the colours are not as good at staying put as other eye shadows I’ve used. After half a day I need to re-apply if I want to maintain the same stunning colour I started with and in addition to this small disadvantage, you notice when you applied the eye shadow the small speckles also disappear during the day. The originality and first impression of this eye shadow make up for it though and ...

Review of Urban Decay Eyeshadow

...Body Shop, Barry M and Urban Decay. All 3 can be found on the BUAV (British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection) web-site as being approved by the Humane Cosmetics Standard so are totally cruelty-free. However, since this opinion is only about Urban Decay eyeshadows I will tell you more about them. They are gorgeously packaged in silver "tins" and boxed (recycled packaging) but as soon as you see the many colours available, you want them all! ...
...one and only downside to Urban Decay is that the products are a bit more difficult to get hold of than your typical brands, as they are only available in larger Boots stores or web sites such as sephora.com or urbandecay.com, both of which ship to the UK but you need a credit card. I'm lucky 'cos my Boots store sells them! I think you may be able to get them from department stores such as Selfridges and Space NK too. The final comment which I would ...

Review of Urban Decay Eyeshadow

Urban Decay eyeshadow - is it worth the £10 they charge for the stuff? Well, in a word, yes. Let me elaborate on that... The eyeshadows are definitely the best things in Urban Decay's range, and pretty much the only area they maintain their "quirkyness" when it comes to colours. I can spend hours staring at this treasure trove of shocking pinks, sludgy greens and sparkly silvers, dreaming up outfits that would possibly merit such odd colours. The ...
...of a vast array of Urban Decay eyeshadows (thank you, Boots, for your 3 for 2 make-up offers!), and all of them are fabulous. Not many other ranges have recognised the need for sparkle in *absolutely everything*, and this puts Urban Decay way out in front in my eyes. Not only are they sparkly, they're versatile too (wahey!). Not a great believer in make-up brushes (I usually lose them or something equally stupid), I can apply Urban Decay eyeshadows ...

Review of Urban Decay Eyeshadow

...you should go straight to Urban Decay. I went there to look for their mascara (which is very good by the way!) but ended up nearly spending a small fortune! But it was the eyeshadows that caught my eye the most. I had heard that famous people like Gwen Stefani and Kylie Minogue were just a few of the large celebrity following that Urban Decay has, and well, that’s always a good selling technique isn’t it! Now when I said that they had ...
...too, of course, in true Urban Decay style! A lot of the glittery eyeshadows that I have tried have ended up not staying on very well, and I don’t think I am alone when I say that I end up with more glitter on my cheeks than on my eyelids! But when you spend £10 on an eyeshadow, you don’t expect to have to keep trying to wipe away the glitter (and why is it that glitter wont stay on your eyelids but wont come off anything else?) The Urban ...

Review of Urban Decay Eyeshadow

I really like the Urban Decay eyeshadows, they're not tested on animals and they come in great range of colours with interesting names. At the moment my favorite colour is Stalker, which is a irridecent lilac colour and I usually apply it with a damp brush to give it extra depth and staying powder. They usually cost around £10 but they stay on all day and don't require reapplication so a pot of eyeshadow lasts ages so you won't have to replace them ...
...not the case with the Urban Decay shadows. I've tried quite a few different colours, mostly purples, browns and greys but I really want to get some of the green and blue shades (which look amazing!). The shadows blend together really well so that you can create you own individual colour. The eyeshadows come in 1.5 gram silver pots, the old style pots have Urban Decay written on them in silver writing and the newer style pots look like subway tokens ...

Review of Urban Decay Eyeshadow

...hankering after some of the Urban Decay Eyeshadow for quite a while after I was admiring a friends eyeshadow and she told me it was Urban Decay and also after I spotted what gorgeous colours they do in their range. At approximately £10.50 for a 1.5g tablet though I had felt they were quite expensive and couldn't really justify spending that amount of cash on them. However at Christmas I got a large amount of Boots vouchers as a present and decided ...
...quickly. I have noticed that Urban Decay do a primer which may help them to stay put if you use that alongside them however I haven't tried that yet. I took advantage of the offer that is regularly on in Boots where you can receive an extra 500 points on your advantage card if you buy 2 of these items, I think this is the best time to get them as it is equivalent to getting £5 back in the long run on your card. Even though these come off quite ...

Review of Urban Decay Eyeshadow

Urban Decay really is an original product. Though you may think why is it so special you would know why if you have ever purchased one of their exquisite eyeshadows. I'm a big fan of eyeshadows as I think it is the eyes that have the most potential to help individualise a face. And this product will not let you down in this department. I purchased my Picadilly Blue eyeshadow on a shopping trip to New York last year. Normally I wouldn't have spent ...
...would treat myself being in Macy's and all. The packaging is most definitely an attraction. It is silver and looks very industrial. And once you open the product, things only get better. Each pot will set you back by £10, but they are worth it and with colours such as Hotpants, Exhaust, Asphyxia, Grifter, Uzi and Lust to name but a few, you will be spoiled for choice. Asphyxia is ones of my faves as it is a lavender colour, but with a blue sheen ...

Review of Urban Decay Eyeshadow

The Urban Decay eye shadows caught my eye when I walked past a shelf in boots, I'd heard of the range from friends but not many shops seem to stock urban decay products, at least not in my area, the only boots store that did stock urban decay products was the main on in the city, it seems smaller shops didn't. Urban Decay eye shadows are far from cheap but you are paying for quality, I paid £12 for each tin! The tin's look fab though! Very funky ...
...and are surprised to find it's all intact! Colours! Urban Decay is known for its funky colours and its eye shadows are no exception, the colours are brilliant! If you go for the natural look forget Urban Decay! It's wild and wonderful, just how a party should be! ...
