Urban Decay Book of Shadows Now $29!

Hello girls, good news. The Urban Decay Book of Shadows 4, which launched late 2011 has been deeply discounted. At first glance, I wasn't too attracted to this product, mainly because of: its steep $64.00 price-tag & the fact that I have Urban Decay products that would last me a lifetime. BUT, after removing my ban on makeup purchases which I self implemented as I was in the process of moving to NYC's tight living lifestyle, decided to reward myself by purchasing this makeup palette. For my amusement, it was reduced to $44 (Now $29), which given the amount of product -including full size products- that it possessed, the makeup hoarder in me decided to BUY BUY BUY!    
So here's the breakdown:
  • 16 full Size Eyeshadows (0.03 oz. each)
  • 1 Liquid Eyeliner (0.058 fl. oz.)
  • 1 Deluxe Sample Original Primer Potion (0.13 fl. oz.)
  • 1 Supercurl Mascara (0.18 fl. oz.)
  • Includes a mini-speaker (for your phone, ipod, ect)
  • + QR codes with tutorials for different looks made with the products contained in the palette.
You don't need to be a mathematician to know the amount of value contained in this Urban Decay Palette. Below is a makeup look I created using the products.
The deep teal/aqua eyeliner in the lower lashline is a UD cream eyeshadow!
In a Gist: If you are a Urban Decay virgin, love value or want to stack up on quality products that are included, this is a great way to start. Although I have to acknowledge that this is not the best palette UD has done, comparing it with others, this is certainly not a product to ignore. Plus, with promo code "SEVENTEEN11" you can have this amazing palette for just $29!!! You can purchase UD's Book of Shadows 4 at Urbandecay.com.

Swatches: They are all in order of palette placement.

Milani Lip Flash Product Review & Swatches

Hello girls! Today I give you the ultimate creamy lipstick pencil, yes you heard right, these are super creamy, full stay on power lip pencils. The quality of the pencils is amazing: great pigmentation, creamy, and the glitter in these is not chunky at all. No bad smell, they can easily be sharpened with a chunky sharpener (did not notice Milani offering sharpeners for this product). 
From left to right (the first one not counting): Flashy, Hot Flash, Flash Light, In a Flash. 
These reminded me of the Tarte Lipsurgence Lip tints but at a quarter of the price -$24.99 for one tarte or $6.99 for a Milani-, they have there differences though. The Milani does have glitter and glide smoother than the Tarte ones, but the Tarte ones do last longer, and have a minty feel. I personally recommend these as stocking stuffers, a great buy! Had trouble finding these, as I live in Puerto Rico. Walgreens does not carry them here, only CVS. But I do know you can find them on Cherry Culture online. Hope you find this review helpful. 

Happy Holidays Everyone!

They are a great buy since all of these come in generous containers and all four cost $32.50, as opposed to Mac's Original Pigments which cost $19 for each color. These babies are gonna last you a long time, and you are not going to regret buying them. From left to right the colors are: Light Lilac Frost, Dark Purple Frost, Pale Pink Frost, & Mid Tone Rose Frost. I used the kits lightest colors on my last Youtube Tutorial. Enjoy!
