Urban Decay Book of Shadows IV (4) redux

Here we go, what we have all been waiting for!!  The Urban Decay Book of shadows IV redux!  Last year UD came out with the book of shadows 3 redux.  Basically they change a few colors but other wise they are the same. I don't have the original book of shadows 4 but if you google image it you can compare them!

Here is the top!

 This is the inside flap.

 It has a great mirror with butterflies.

 The inside where the products are.

 The back cover.

 There are 16 eyeshadows in this palette.

Switches, left to right, Kiddie Pool, Gunmetal, Grifter and Psychedelic Sister

 Baked, Hijack, Lost, Creep  These are the most pigmented 4 colors out of the palette.

 Midnight Cowgirl, Sin, Stray Dog, Missionary  Midnight Cowgirl is the typical "Midnight Cowboy" eyeshadows not very creamy with glitter chunks, but this one was surprisingly creamy.

 Sidecar, Strip, Virgin and Polyester Bride.  Polyester Bride looks like it would be like the "Cowboy Shadows", but it's not.

 It comes with a full size 24/7 liquid eyeliner in Perversion

 It has a brush tip applicator.

 It's very liquidy and takes a while to dry, yet it's pigmented.

 The palette includes a mini Supercurl curling mascara.

 It has rubber bristles with a curve.

 I know this is a little blurry, but the bristles are very pointy.

 It has a speaker to play your music.

Overall, this is a great palette for $32.00.  I would highly recommend it because it has many neutrals yet colorful shades, which are all wearable.

September favorites 2013!

Hi everyone!! I wanted to do a blog post with my september favorites video, finally I got time!! So here we go!


First up is the benefit rockateur blush.  This gives a gorgeous glow to the face, perfect for fall.

 Lush Dream Cream is the best body lotion I have ever used.

 This Brookside candle in pumpkin spice is the best transition into fall scent.

 The Naked skin foundation in shade 3.5 give me the perfect amount of coverage for me!

 This is the mac powder to the people blush/eyeshadow compact.  All swirled together it has a bronze undertone which is great as an all in one bronzer and blush duo.

 I have tried 2 Covergirl jumbo gloss balms and both have been awesome! Color in watermelon twist give a bright pink color without being over whelming.

 Covergirl's smoochies in #luv u is the perfect "pick me up" shade.  I like it better than the Maybelline baby lips.

 Maybelline dream lumi touch highlighting concealer was ok, but I enjoyed it enough while I had it!

 Into the wild from bath and body works just flat out smells good!

 The more I use this mascara, the more I don't like it.  It's to clumpy and hard to use.

 I used the Avon plum burgundy eyeshadow in my plum makeup tutorial, so if you want to see it in action.

 The NARS eye primer is the best eye primer I have ever tried!! This kept my eyeshadow on from 5AM to 3AM 22 hours.

 MAC's eyeshadow in trax in one of my favorite purples. I also used this in my tutorial.

 The Avon extralasting shadow pencil is the best pencil I have ever used!  I have also been enjoying the  Rimmel khol kajal eyeliner in nude in the waterline!

 The maybelline dream fresh BB cream is a re-discover since last year.

 Butter London Knackerd nail polish is another perfect transition color into fall.

 Oreo birthday cake cookies are the best oreos I have ever tried.
