Urban Decay Holiday 2009: 24-7 Set in Stereophonic

[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir cette image]

“Urban Decay is rocking my world lately.” — MBB Reader Louise Gray

Louise, you took the words right outta my mouth! Cruelty-free Urban Decay took vegan makeup mainstream with bright colors and glitter, and they’re still going strong with what I think are some really interesting and fun launches for fall and holiday (Book of Shadows Vol. II!!!) .

Makeup newbies, or those new to the brand, may want to keep eyes peeled for UD’s new holiday liners. Called the 24/7 Set in Stereophonic ($29), the kit I’m talking about here includes four large 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils in some very wearable colors, along with one full-size Heavy Metal Glitter Liner (for when you need a little sparkle in your life).

Heavy Metal Liner in Midnight Cowboy

The steadfast 24/7 Glide-On Pencil liners are among the best pencil liners I’ve ever tried. They apply smooth and just won’t back down.

Case in point: There was that time I watched The Notebook… I was wearing Underground (a shimmery brown) at the time, blubbering my way through the film, but Underground stayed put from start to finish.

If you’re already a freak for Urban Decay, take a look at Crash, a shade exclusive to the set. That one’s driving me wild.

The Stereophonic 24/7 Set is one of three 24/7 makeup sets in Urban Decay’s Holiday 2009 line. It joins the Hi-Fi 24/7 Set (like Stereophonic but with different shades; I like the green; $29) and 24/7 Super Stash (a mini-pencil set; $36).

Urban Decay’s Novel New Book of Shadows Vol II

[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir cette image]

I devour books like they’re food! There aren’t many things I cherish more than a few uninterrupted hours alone with a good novel in a comfy chair, mmm…

Now, Urban Decay’s newest “book” (Book of Shadows Vol. II ($48)) may not have an ISBN and be in stock at Borders, but it’s still a novel product that I wouldn’t mind curling up with on a brisk fall afternoon.

Après plusieurs essais, je peux dire que la palette Volume II est encore plus belle que la version initiale.
J'aime beaucoup les crayons UD aussi, ils sont gras et ont une tenue excellente, j'ai presque toutes les couleurs...

Vilaine tentatrice! Par ta faute j'ai commandé la palette et 2 kits de crayons!

Moi aussi j'aime beaucoup mon Book of Shadows Volume II!

Tous les faps ont une superbe texture sauf 2 qui sont plus pailletés et ça tombe partout.

Lol Nataly, mais pour ma défense la palette est vraiment belle, ce serait dommage de passer à côté Et les crayons ont une tenue excellente, aujourd'hui je porte Bourbon.

Oui Kristelle, c'est entre autre Midnight Cowboy rides again qui est trop pailleté et qui tombe partout!
Mais les autres sont magnifiques, j'ai un gros coup de coeur pour Gunmetal, Sphynx, Misdemeanor...

Je veux ce ral!! C'est la nuance Rush!

je ne pense pas acheter la palette Alice : il y a trop de fards identiques à ceux dans les palettes Vol.I et II...

Je viens de voir que les noms des faps de la palette d'Alice sont tous existant mais sous d'autres noms Je copie la liste de Temptalia;

It is important to note that the eyeshadows included in the palette are not new shades; they’re existing/previous shades re-named to fit in the Alice in Wonderland theme. That being said, if you own Urban Decay’s Ammo, Book of Shadows Vol. I/Vol. II, or the Sustainable Palettes, you may already own the majority of the shadows in the Alice in Wonderland kit. Below is a shadow-by-shadow review with the real-name of the eyeshadow in parentheses (for your reference).

Eyeshadows
Underland (Flash) is a bright, cool-toned medium purple with an icy lilac shimmer. It’s soft, smooth, and richly pigmented.

Alice (Painkiller) is a bright aqua-blue with an icy sheen. Like Underland, it’s smooth, silky soft, and has lots of pigment to it.

Oraculum (Baked) is a warmed-up copper with a softer copper sheen. Smooth, soft, well-pigmented. I do find this one has a bit of a frostier finish than some of the other shades.

Queen (Last Call) is a reddened eggplant with a burgundy edge. It has a frost-like sheen, but it is smooth and pigmented.

Chessur (Chopper) is a cooler-toned, not nearly as bright, copper shade. It has the same soft texture as the majority of Urban Decay’s shadows, but it has silverish glitter particles that may contribute to some fall out in practice.

White Rabbit (Polyester Bride) is a gently yellowed white (though still, very white) with a white-gold sheen. Like Chessur, it also has some glitter to it, so it’s not quite my favorite texture.

Wonderland (Maui Wowie) is a tarnished gold, maybe an antique gold, but not quite so dark. It has a golden bronze sheen to it. It’s pigmented and smooth, but it also has a few glitter particles (though I think this is one of the more manageable glitter-based shades in the bunch).

Curiouser (Grifter) is a lightened fuchsia-purple with icy purple sheen. It also has silverish glitter particles in it, which may lead to fall out. This is one of the lesser pigmented shades, though it still has decent color pay off.

Muchness (X) is a peachy-melon with a gold sheen. It almost has a little mauve to it, in certain lighting. It reminded me of MAC’s Melon pigment quite a bit. This has a frosty finish, but it doesn’t have the glitter, so it’s smooth and easier to work with.

Mushroom (Mushroom) is a taupe brown with kind of a silvery sheen and shimmer. It’s not quite as rich as some of the other shades, but it can be layered for a more intense look. (Don’t get me wrong, it has nice pigmentation–just not as intense as the other shades in this palette.)

Midnight Tea Party (Midnight Cowboy Rides Again) is a flushed champagne with silver/gold glitter particles. This is quite possibly my least favorite Urban Decay eyeshadow. It is a pain in the behind to work with, because the glitter fall out is pretty insane. It’s a shame, because the color itself is pretty, but the glitter means “No, thank you!” for me.

Vorapal (S&M) is a neutral, slightly cooled down silver with a brighter silver sheen. Smooth and pigmented.

Absolem (Homegrown) is a grassy green with a golden shimmered sheen. Very pigmented and true-to-color.

Drink Me, Eat Me (Sin) is a pinked champagne with a bright, frosty sheen. It’s like a pinker version of Midnight Tea Party–and sans all the glittery fall out.

Mad Hatter (Twice Baked) is a lightly glittered dark brown with warm undertones. I don’t remember Twice Baked behing so lagging in pigment, but I really had to layer this one on to get a decent evenness. It gave me some drag and a faded look.

Jabberwocky (Oil Slick) is a dark black base with icy blue and silver glitter. While not as prone to fall out as Midnight Tea Party, it’s still one of the glittery shades that may lead to some fall out while applying it.

Bottom Line: From the beginning, I’ve been a little disappointed that Urban Decay didn’t create some new shades for this palette, in light of the partnership between them and Alice in Wonderland. The names are certainly excellent and totally work with the theme, but I would have appreciated (and just loved to have seen!) brand new shades.

I like the shades and palette overall, but I think I already own the majority in various other palettes, too, so I’ll probably end up passing this on to my sister after I do some looks with it (well, hopefully!). I’m not a huge fan of Urban Decay’s more glittery shades (of which there are six, with one being exceptionally hard to work with) and tend to prefer their smoother shades. I think the palette could have done with a few matte or semi-matte shades, too, just to break up the frost and shimmer.

The packaging is very cohesive, and it looks good. It fits with the theme, but I think they put it together quite nicely. My lid won’t stay open, so it being used as a mirror is not happening as of yet. Since the theme, while well-done, isn’t a driver for me though, I probably would have passed on this palette under normal circumstances. It’s a better buy if you are looking to try a bunch of Urban Decay eyeshadows without investing in singles; it’s definitely a value palette if that’s the case!

Bon bien c'est maintenant officiel, je n'achèterai pas cette palette.

Parcontre la poudre Razor Sharp me tente pas mal!

humm moi qui avait passé droit sur les book of shadows.... je veux Alice

Je n'ai aucun FAP Urban Decay donc.. Je veux la palette.

Un look de Temptalia avec la palette ''Alice''

[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir cette image]

Eyes: Urban Decay Eden Primer Potion (matte yellow base), Urban Decay Muchness (X) Eyeshadow (melon), Urban Decay Oraculum (Half Baked) Eyeshadow (copper), Urban Decay Queen (Last Call) Eyeshadow (reddish burgundy), Urban Decay Underland (Flash) Eyeshadow (violet), MAC Femme-fi Eyeshadow (neutral highlighter), Urban Decay Lucky 24/7 Liner (copper), Smashbox Liquid Liner Pen (black), MAC Plushlash Mascara (black)


For eyes, start by applying Eden Primer Potion as your eyeshadow base all over the lid with the 249. Using the 239, apply Muchness eyeshadow on the inner third of the eyelid. Next, apply Oraculum eyeshadow on the middle third of the eyelid and lightly blend with the inner corner. Darken the outer third of the lid with Queen eyeshadow with the 239, gently brushing it into the lower crease. Lightly blend Queen eyeshadow, with the 239, on the outer corner and lid. Next, define the crease by applying Underland eyeshadow with the 226. To finish the eyeshadow look, sweep Femme-fi eyeshadow as a highlighter on the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying Penny eyeliner on the lower lash line. Finish by applying Liquid Pen Liner on upper lash line and then sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.

Est-ce que quelqu'un a testé le primer d'Urban Decay?

copier de test au quotidien :

j'ai testé hier pour le premiere fois mon Lip Primer de Urban Decay
je suis vraiment satisfaite du résultat
c'est un primer clair qui donne un peu l'effet gras/collant d'un baume à lèvre et vraiment, je n'ai rien à redire sur la tenue de mon ral Revlon que j'ai mis pour la soirée hier. je ne me suis pas démaquillée en retrant et j'en ai encore ce matin.
Le ral ne "sèche" pas, il reste himidifié par le primer.
en tout cas une belle découverte pour environ 12$
