Urban Decay Book Of Shadows Vol.III Eye shadows Review.

So just recently I purchased the Urban Decay BOS .III.

BOOK OF SHADOWS VOL. III

It's here, and it will sell out fast! This light-up, pop-up ode to NYC features 16 shadows (including 7 exclusive shades!), and travel sizes of Eyeshadow Primer Potion and two 24/7 Eye Pencils!

Totally obsessed with The Big Apple? So are we (how could anyone NOT be?) Inspired by the glimmering lights and iconic landmarks of New York City, Book of Shadows Vol III features 16 eyeshadows that go way beyond neutrals and brights, including SEVEN NEW shades with names like Loaded, Rockstar and Money. We've also included nine best-sellers in a range of sizzling textures: everything from glitter to shimmer to matte.

This Pallete Contain 16 beautifully pigmented eye shadows. Each eye shadow has its own unique color. Some have been repeated before or are in the permanent line.

First Row

The first row consists of:

Perversion: Its a Matte charcoal black. Its has a very soft texture. Its not a very deep black but its good for darkening any look.Part of the permanent line.

Uzi: Its a frosty white color with silver specks of glitter. Its a gorgeous color for inner corners but it does tend to have some fallout. Part of the permanent line.

Loaded: Its a deep forest green with a metallic green sheen to it. Its similar to NARS Rajasthan. This is a new color.

Kush: Its a grassy green. It does have a subtle cool undertone. Similar colors are present in the previous versions of BOS.This is a new color.

Second Row

The second row consists of:

Midnight Cowboy Rides Again: Its a champagne color with champagne specks of glitter. Its also has a subtle pink tinge to it. This color does tend to have fallout issues so just to be on the safe side i would recommend applying a sticky base before applying the eye shadow. Part of the permanent line.

Last Call: Its a plum color with red undertones. It has a shimmer finish, Part of the permanent line.

Rockstar: Its a deep eggplant shade with burgandy undertones. Its a shadow version of the 24/7 Eyeliner pencil in Rockstar. This is a new color.

Money: Its a blue-ish silver with a blue-green sheen to it. This is a new color.

  

Third Row

The third row consists of :

Haight: Its a bright medium blue with a hint of teal or maybe navy to it. Its a Sephora exclusive shade.

Maui Wowie: Its a toned down gold with specks of gold glitter. It has some fallout issues. Part of the permanent line.

Smog: Its a dark bronze with a frost finish. This shade has also been in the infamous Naked Palette. Part of the permanent line.

Bordello: Its a mauvy pink shade with specks of pink glitter. The color payoff is pretty good. This is a new color.

Forth Row

The forth row consists of:

Radium: Its a true blue with a frost finish. This is a good color to have. To top it off it has amazing color payoff. This is a powder eye shadow version of Radium Cream eye shadow. This is a new color.

Snatch: Its a frosty pink with a frost finish. Pat this on top of Maybelline's Cool Effects Cooling Cream Eye color in Pink Frost to get beautiful results. This has been in a palette before but not sure if its in the permanent line or not.

Suspect: Its a very cool bronze with hint of taupe. Looks like something that should have been in the Naked Palette. This is a new color.

Psychedelic Sister: Its a deep purple with slight red undertones, It has a frost finish, Its a Sephora exclusive shade.

My Thoughts about it:

Personally I am all for colors so this palette was a good buy for me. Its does have a few flaws but its not like they are not fixable. I would have liked it more if it did not have so may fallout issues but overall its a good palette.

Is this Palette for you?

If you are a fan of UD eye shadows then this BOS palette is good for you but if you are not into shimmery and/or frosty finishes than this might not be your thing.

My ratings:

4.7/5

Have you used this Palette? Tell me how it was for you :)

M.A.C Viva Glam.IV Review + Swatch

Hey Guys,

         I got myself this lipstick some while back and decided to review it. Its by M.A.C from their Viva Glam collection. I am a huge fan of M.A.C lipsticks especially their smell which is YUMMY! However, I am not a huge fan of this lipstick in particular.

         The Viva Glam.IV is a dark burgundy red colored lipstick and to top it off its a frost so its not really all that wearable.

I am more of a neutral lips kinda person so i did not really like this lipstick. The frostiness of this lipstick just makes it look like i dabbed a whole lot of silver eye shadow on my lips and that just brings too much attention towards the lips.

The only way i can make this lipstick work is when I apply a clear gloss on top of it. Otherwise its just too UGH.

                                        

The texture of the lipstick though is what i like best about it. Its not too moisturizing so it does not bleed off nor is it too dry so that it tugs on my lips while applying.

    

I hope you guys liked this review.

Brand Review: BeautyUK

Hey Guys,
         You all might already be aware of the infamous BeautyUK. This is a brand based in the UK.In todays post i am going to tell you a little about their new line.
  The BeautyUK's new line consists of false lashes, baked eye shadows and blushers, nail polishes, lipsticks, lip lust, mascaras and pearl eyeliner.
  
Now this is what their own blog says about the new line.

Baked Blushers and Baked Eyeshadows

• Lightweight and rich in pigment, baked blushers and eye shadows are ‘must-haves’ for your make up collection this Spring/Summer.
• Sheer in texture, the baked powders are perfect for building up colour, with no cracking or crumbling – allowing you to intensify your look with several sweeps of your brush.
• Avoid looking ‘cakey’ this season and opt for these dome-shaped powders, which will allow for an even application, leaving you with the ultimate smooth finish.
• You can choose from 5 different colours of baked blushers and 6 baked eyeshadows, each retailing at £3.99.

Pearl Eyeliner

• Applied in the same way as any normal liquid eyeliner, these pearl eyeliners dry like no other; providing you with a unique pearlescent finish and fitting with the opalescent Spring/Summer 11 trends.
• Available in 8 shimmering shades, each retailing at £3.49.

Lipstick

• Our brand new, subtly Mint flavoured lipsticks that give you either a wet or dry look. The ‘wet’ gives you the ultra gloss look, whilst the ‘dry’ gives a super matte finish for those looking for intense colour.
• Selecting your shade is easy as the actual lipstick is injected inside the lid – enabling you to see the real colour at first glance.
• 11 shades to choose from, each retailing at £3.49.

Mascara

• The 3D FX Mascara in black is ideal for creating thick, luscious lashes.
• The dryer formula helps you to build up the product for striking eyes. Applying after lashes have been curled provides maximum results.
• Retails at £3.99.

• Lightly scented and richly pigmented, and offering superb coverage - this diverse selection of lip-glosses will bring a new dimension to any look.
• Flavoured with papaya, mint or strawberry and applied with a soft and svelte applicator.
• Available in 11 gorgeous shades at £2.99 each.

6 x new nail varnish colours

• Last but not least we're pleased to introduce our 6 stunning new nail varnish colours!
• (Left to right/top to bottom) Frozen Kingdom, Cotton Candy, Aztec, Voodoo, Gun Metal and Golden Chestnut
• Available online now in Salon Professional size for £2.49
• Coming April 13th to Glam Nails for £1.99

Impressive right? I personally have only used the nail varnish in the color Cotton Candy which is a beautiful color. Its perfect for the upcoming season. I bought it online for £2.49 and the shipping was great too. For the price I paid i think it was a good deal. Cotton Candy nail polish was my first ever buy from BeautyUK cosmetics and i just love it. I am planning on getting the whole line they have to offer and i know its alot but honestly i am just so in love with their products that i have to get more. If you are intrested in getting all of their products it will cost you around £178 or Rs:24,742.

Would I Recommend This Brand?

Heck Yeah! i would definitely recommend this brand to all the makeupaholics out there.

I simply love BeautyUK what about you?
