I was browsing around on HauteLook and found an awesome deal for Urban Decay's Book of Shadows IV [originally $64, purchased for $24]. It includes 16 eye shadows [10 new shades], a full size 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner, a travel-size Eye Shadow Primer Potion, a travel-size Super Curling Mascara and a portable speaker. You can create a variety of looks from a sizzling hot smoky eye to a subtle natural look with this all-in-one Book. I love the style of the box, it's decorated with laser swirls and butterflies [love butterflies]. It also has a small mirror attached when you open the lid of the book. The only downfall for me is that the pop up butterflies are kind of in the way of using the mirror, other than that the box is perfect.

I had a job interview today [yay me!] so I used the products from my Book of Shadows to create my look for the day. I decided to go for a teal smoky eye using the color Hijack because it just looked so pretty. Hijack was the color that stood out to me the most because I haven't played with a teal color in what seems like forever. I absolutely LOVE Hijack it's such a beautiful color. For the inner corner of my eye I used Midnight Cowgirl [funny name right?], another beautiful color that is a light gold-ish color with glitter specs. Lastly for my highlight color I used Skimp - a nice neutral matte color. The eye shadows are quite nice, I like them a lot especially for my first time using them.
I won't stop at loving the eye shadows. I also LOVE the Eye Shadow Primer Potion and the Super Curling Mascara. My eye lashes are naturally pretty long, but not as curly as I would like them to be, this mascara did a pretty good job of curling my lashes. The Primer Potion is amazing! I love that it's creamy and thick but not super thick. I've tried some primers that are thin and did not like them at all. Speaking of Eye Shadow Primer Potion, my eye shadow is still intact from 8 hours ago! Love it! I also used the 24/7 Liquid Eye Liner and sadly I must say I did not like it at all. I mean it went on just fine, easily glides on with a thin bristle brush. The reason why I didn't like it because it flaked on me, I wanted it to be awesome, but I really dislike flaky liquid eye liners.
Overall, I am glad that I purchased Urban Decay's Book of Shadows IV. The eye shadows are really pretty and the looks are endless. Not to mention the amazing Eye Shadow Potion Primer and Super Curling Mascara. Check out the picture below for my look of the day =).

ReplyDeleteI totally know what you mean. I don't always wear makeup, i love it but sometimes there is no time for it! =) thanks for commenting!
DeleteLeaving a blog post RIGHT NOW! haha. I love Urban Decay. Hope the job interview went well!
ReplyDeleteI like to add more color to my eyes for nighttime.
ReplyDeleteI like to wear a smoky eye on a night out, but what would be REALLY different for me would be to wear lipstick!
ReplyDeleteI like to add color - my work look is usually champagne-type neutrals.
ReplyDeleteSince urban decay eyeshadows are vibrant, I like to mix colors that match like a bright green and yellow, blend them well, use one of their amped up mascaras and just do a more vibrant look than I normally would do. However, urban decay is all about fun, creativity, colors so its acceptable to wear these vibrant shades together.Thanks for this wonderful giveaway and good luck to all.

I usually play it up with really dark colours or bright colours when I want to step it up. I usually wear neutrals on a day to day basis. Too bad the eyeliner flakes. I was thinking of getting it. :( but glad the mascara works. I wasn't even aware that it was a curling mascara in the palette.
ReplyDeleteI like to do orange and yellow looks on days when I just need a boost of happiness. This is very different than my usual daily taupe look. :)
ReplyDeleteI like to wear dark eyeshadows every once in a while
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this look, I have been experimenting with with some bright vibrant colors lately. I'm more of a neutral style . So this is all new to me. Blogs like yours kinda guide me on the "how to's" Thank you for your post(:
ReplyDeleteI like experimenting with bright eyeshadow colors and blending them to make different looks : )
ReplyDeletei like smoky eyes :) and fake lashes for a night out on the town ! thanks for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeletei think glitter rainbow look and pastel rainbow with fish egg bead look would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI will do a slightly more smoky eye (instead of a light wash) and very bright nails. :)
ReplyDeleteLove to do smokey eyes!
