Out with the old and in with the new.
Urban Decay is saying no to Photoshopping.
When I opened this palette, I almost started drooling (sorry for the visual). It's a great range of shades; lots of my fave, neutrals, but a good amount of fun, bright colors to add pop!
Urban Decay is one of my favorite cosmetic brands. They make high-quality products, are always animal-friendly and have a great design aesthetic. The packaging and names of products are always funky and kitschy and, most importantly, what's inside works!
Every few months when I start to run out of my high-end make up, I tend to re-evaluate why I'm spending so much money on products. I save up a lot in order to purchase the likes of Make Up For Ever, NARS, MAC, and Urban Decay. But I also think about what I could be spending that money on, and I look into more affordable options.
We all know the total euphoria of finding a brand new must-have, I'm-totally-obsessed-with-that-since-I-saw-it-in-Glamour-and-checked-it-out-at-Sephora-and-it-made-my-skin-look-effing-flawless beauty product. I don’t care what anyone (boys) says, I stand my ground that these things can be life changing.
What it is: Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lipgloss in Wallflower Why this should be in your bag: I truly don't know any girl who doesn't own some form of lip product. Whether it be the standard cherry Chapstick or a fancy MAC Lipglass, girls love to play up and take care of their lips.
What it is: Urban Decay Vegan Palette Why this should be in your bag: Every girl needs a nice eyeshadow palette. They are totally foolproof, since the company itself picked out an array of complimentary shades for you.
Yesterday, after a failed attempt to apply chunky mascara to my lashes (it was gross), I decided it was time to restock. Only when I ran over to my local CVS to pick up a new one, I was totally overwhelmed. Do you have any idea how many different kinds of mascara there are? My god! I stood there for ten minutes with 12 different options in my hands trying to figure out which one was the best.
For me, shopping for makeup is like a bargain scavenger hunt. Whether I’m using coupons or waiting for a Friends & Family sale, I’ll do whatever it takes to save money. To be honest, I often hesitate to buy high-end products because I know I can usually find a substitute from a drugstore brand.
You may not have work or class on Memorial Day, but it's definitely an on-the-go kinda day. Between the family BBQ and the night out with friends (and, of course, all that patriotism), it is easy to forget about your makeup. And makeup is important if you don't want to look like a hot sweaty mess. Below are some tips and portable products to help you make an easy makeup transition from grill to dance floor.
Just because our economy is in the crapper doesn't mean your style should be. In fact, one of the best things to come from our current economic....er....challenges is that great discount stores popping up all over the web. We've featured a few on CollegeCandy before, but we have a whole new batch of great online shops to pick up the hottest looks at some seriously discounted prices.
