In Love with Decay
Monday Hubby took a vacation day and we decided to use the gifts cards that we had gotten from the holidays and make a day out of it. We went to the movies and then shopping. In my stocking he had given me a gift card to Saphora because he knew I wanted to get some new eye shadow. I ended up getting the set above from Urban Decay (The Show Pony Shadow Box). I have been in love with UD’s shadows for a few years now but this case came with something of theirs that I had never tried before…Along with 6 different shadows and a black liner this set comes with a small bottle of their Eyeshadow Primer Potion . This stuff is amazing! The wesbite says:
The genie in this bottle fulfills three wishes: eyeshadow that lasts, more vibrant color, and absolutely NO creasing. Apply Primer Potion to lids before shadow application. It dries down almost instantly (and invisibly), creating smooth lids that are super powered eyeshadow magnets. Urban Decay’s Eyeshadow Primer Potion is unmatched in the industry – a cult favorite loved by beauty editors and makeup junkies alike.
They are not kidding when they say that this stuff turns your eyelids into eyeshadow magnets! I did my makeup like I normally would Wednesday monring and decided to do a little test. I wanted to see how long my shadow would last going about doing the things I would normally do. By that night not only were there no creases filled with globbed makeup but the shadow was still as bright as it had been when I put it on that morning.
So I decided to take it a step further… I slept with my makeup on. And when I got up the next day? It was still on! Although it wasn’t as bright as when I had gone to bed I could have easily walked out the door for the day without touching it and people would not have been able to tell!
The colors on this palette are amazing! So far I have only used the neutrals and the green (which is my new favorite shadow!) but I cannot wait to try out the purple and turquoise! Overall, this set is most definitely worth the $30 and I definitely recommend it to ladies everywhere!
