[Review & Giveaway] Urban Decay Book of Shadows IV


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 apologize for the bad picture quality


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 =).
