Urban Decay 24/7 Super Stash

In my opinion, Urban Decay has the best eye liners. These liners are smudgeable but smudge-proof after 30 seconds, and they are waterproof (great for lining the waterline). Urban Decay already has an impressive selection of colors (22 in the line of full size liners which can be purchased individually), and this set contains 9 colors total with two of those being exclusive to the set. The only letdown with this set is that these are almost like mini's when you compare them to the full length or even some of the other travel size sets they've had before. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they added those exclusive colors to the full line sometime soon.

These are the nine shades from the Super Stash: (l to r, top to bottom) Zero (black), Oil Slick (black with silver sparkle), Corrupt (cool brown with silver sparkle), Eldorado (yellow gold), Graffiti (medium green), Binge (navy blue), Ransom (purple with blue shift), Rockstar (eggplant purple), and Stash (army green).


This just shows how some of these colors compare with existing colors (ones I happen to have already). From the top: blues - Binge and Deviant; purples - Lust, Ransom, Rockstar; golds - Eldorado and Honey; greens - Graffiti and Covet; browns - Corrupt and Bourbon.


Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box

If I had to choose, Urban Decay is my number one favorite make up brand. So, it only makes sense that my first blog post would be about Urban Decay. I do not have everything they've ever put out by any means! However, what I do have, I will try to swatch and post so you are able to see it. Sometimes those little crumbled shadow pictures you see on various websites just don't do the trick when you really want to see what it looks like, and my hope is that you'll be able to get a better idea from the pictures I post. Currently, my lighting set up is not amazing (yup, I take pictures in my bathroom), but as much as I can, I will try to take swatch pictures during the daytime so they can be seen in natural light.

Here's the Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box:


Left to right: Zero, Underground, Shag, Fishnet, Ransom, Peace, Graffiti, Honey, and Scratch. This was swatched in rainbow order, so it is not the order from the palette. My favorites from this palette are Peace, Ransom and Scratch, and I especially like the result when you blend Ransom and Peace. It turns out almost like a sapphire blue.
