Urban Decay Holiday Buys

 

If you’re looking for a gift for anyone who likes to play around with their makeup Urban Decay has got some great deals this season. My face totally brightened-up when I got my hands on their 24/7 Super Stash

($36) and their Apocalyptic Nail Kit ($26). They’ve got a bunch of other variety packs, but for me it’s nails and liner that I love to experiment with. I’ll sometimes actually use liner instead of eye-shadow, but the Super Stash gift set works well even for those that don’t usually stray far from black, because it includes a variety of colors that are fairly neutral, along with some brighter pops of green and blue. Don’t be shy — Layer! Combine! There’s nothing like dramatic eyes to make this drab weather seem a little more tolerable. The colors apply true to what they look like, glide on super smooth, and if you’re like me and sometimes opt for liner instead of shadow, these give the right amount of coverage. As for the Nail Kit, it’s the sparkle that attracted me. People rarely comment on my nail colors, but when I wore ‘Big Bang’ which is the glittery pink in the collection, I actually got a few complements including one from a guy who typically would never notice something like nail polish. The bottles are petite, but I’ll take seven petite bottles over two full ones any day (who ever finishes a whole bottle anyway!?).
