Current Summer FOTD

So Hi...


 In Summer I feel like most people change up their make up a little bit, with the heat it's often not ideal to have a full face of make-up that feels like it could melt off your face at any moment, so not attractive. I'm no exception to this, although the changes I've made to my daily make-up are a mixture of the change in weather and a gain of products. Though tweaks still need to be made I'm becoming more and more content with my make-up application and skills. Anyway I thought I would just list the product's I'm using for my day to day Summer make-up with some selfies showing it off at the end!
Lets start with the base, I use the Make-up Revolution ultra all day primer balm first along with the Make-up Revolution eye primer to help keep my make-up on, which is especially needed in the added heat. Concealer of choice at the moment is the MUA hide and conceal stick. I'm out of collections lasting perfection concealer and have yet to find it restocked and not open in my shade, the struggles.  I unfortunately don't have a full bottle of foundation as I've been using a tester bottle of Urban Decay's Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup in 0.5 as picked for me at the urban decay event I went to a while back ( Read Here!) I'm absolutely loving it and definitely going to look into getting myself a full bottle. I'm also getting into Bronzer a little now and use the MUA Bronzer in shade 1. And Powder is the forever faithful Rimmel stay matte.
Now for Eyes. I've recently been quite loyal to this Go! palette from Make-up Revolution for my eye shadow, I love the pink toned colours and the range which means I can go super pale and neutral one day and smokey dark another. The curlers are standard own branded ones from Superdrug as I've never really used curlers and wanted to test them out. For eye liner my top favourite is the Collection extreme 24 hour felt tip liner, it's easy to control and gives such good colour pigment off. I own about 4 of these in different colours now. for mascara I don't really have one that I specifically use daily, I have about 4/5 I tend to swap between. At the moment though I'm been loving Soap & glory Thick and Fast, it does what it says and really thickens the lashes. In terms of pencils again I'm not really too fussy and have a number of pencils from different brands, I've recently bought this gorgeous green eye pencil from MUA however and it's a lovely colour that adds a pop and I feel really brings out the green tones in my eyes.


That just about sums up my summer FOTD, the lip colours change daily depending on my mood or the event so I didn't include those.

Urban Decay Summer Launches Event.

So hi...

Last Sunday I was lucky enough to attend a bloggers event at the urban decay counter in Selfridges, Birmingham. The event was to show off the new products that Urban decay has released as apart of their summer collection. It was a small event with Kirsty, who works at the counter hosting, which she did immensely well with. Now I suppose I should get n with telling you all about the products.

 The First Products we were showed were The new Revolution lip gloss collection, with 14 shades in the whole collection. Now I'll be honest here, I'm not a lip gloss kinda girl. I find most the time the colour to be weak and the texture of stickyness uncomfortable on my lips, I do however own an odd few with passed the test. These definitely feel like they could pass the test as well, Firstly the colours are amazingly sharp and bright, the coour in the bottle is what you'll be getting on your lips which is a super big plus for me. I also like the choice in the collection, if you had the whole collection I doubt you'd need many more lip gloss choices if you life as it has all the base colours you could want from peachy nude right through to a range of purples. They are £15 each, pretty good price, even for a pauper like me. Quite interested in getting the bright orange and bright purple colours.
In the madness of everyone trying to swatch and test out the products I managed to grab a few from some swatches, just to show what I mean when I said the colours are strong and as vivid as in the packaging.
 Kinky// Liar// Failbait// Savage//Scandal// Quiver// Assassin//Punch Drunk // 69// Brickhouse// Bittersweet// Vice// Acopolyse// Big Bang

The next Product were shown was The Vault. This was one hell of a box set.

 Now you probably remember the Vault set which contained basically everything you could want from urban decay. This new set is Exclusive to the Urban Decay in Selfridges Birmingham and is all about the lips. With 10 lip liners accompanied by 10 matching Lipsticks it's quite the dream.
It's got a price tag of £180, But is worth over £300, so it's a pretty damn good bargain. I'm tempted myself to get it, since ya know, lips are my thaang when it comes to make up.


The last product we were allowed to swatches and get our hands on was the new range of single Blushers released. The Afterglow 8-hour powder blush. Retailing at £19 each and with a wide range of colours from bright pinks and purple to the more subtle peachy colours. There are 12 shades in the collection in total.

 I tried to get swatches of all 12 shades to show the colour pay out with one swipe on my arm, It's definitely a nice range of different colours, I found the purple really interesting, a novice like me could never make purple blush look good, I'm sure many other people do though.

After we were allowed to wander the counter generally and snap away at the pretty arrangement of the products.









Many of the other girls bought a few things, which my poor self couldn't do unfortunately. I did get a little tester of their foundation as I'm looking to invest in a really good foundation for myself. After everyone had finished looking round we were given a little goody bag of testers and all parted ways. It was a really enjoyable event, Kirsty really made it feel comfortable and enjoyable.

Have you bought or seen the new Summer collection products from Urban Decay yet?
