Beauty prayers answered!!!

By far one of the most popular eye shadow primers on the market is the Urban Decay Primer Potion. They have a cult following and their product is actually really good!! As many tubes of UDPP that are out there, there are just as many videos on YouTube with people complaining about the shape of the tube.

You see, UDPP comes in a fancy, curvy tube and there is a ton of product hiding out in all those nooks.

Original packaging

There are lots of tutorials showing how to cut the tube to scoop out the product that you thought was done. I am one person that refused to go through all that drama. I instead bought Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

So after years of hearing the pleas of fans, guess who just redesigned their packaging!!!!!

Urban Decay loves NYC!!

People have been going straight up bazoodee over the UD Naked palette!!! They can’t keep it in stock fast enough!! It’s selling like hot cakes and it has gotten rave reviews!! It’s not LE people!!! I will get this – eventually!

Anyway, UD is bringing out another palette inspired by the great city of New York!!

This is the limited edition Book of Shadows Vol. III aka UD loves NYC palette. Their holiday (gasp!) 2010 offering contains 16 shades, of which 7 are brand new (or exclusive to the palette) and the rest are repromotes or part of the permanent collection (yuh know Smog and Zero were born to be in ah palette!). A mix of brilliant jewel-toned purples, blues, greens, and neutrals, that spells fall, but they would go well with your summer shades to a depth to a look. Ah really feelin’ Money (looks just like the US dollar bill), Haight (a gorgeous, deep bluish-green) and Kush.

So you want to wear makeup!……Eyes

So yeah…..I’ve been slackin’ off on my basics beauty series, ‘So you want to wear makeup….’. But I’m back!!!!

This is help you with the basics of makeup application, a 5-minute-out-the-door face, a simple work look. Find my other articles on the basics here:

Skin II

So eyes are my favourite part of my face to make up. There are so many possibilities, colour combinations, textures etc. But for those that are beginners, or those who don’t have a lot of time, just a few simple steps could give you a polished look.

The Brows

Before I get into eyes, I have to speak of the eyebrows. Your eyebrows are absolutely important as they frame the eyes and the face. It’s one of the first places that people see. Many people have their brows shaped via threading, waxing or tweezing but really and truly, combing your eyebrows will make them look groomed. This is where a spoolie or eyebrow comb comes in handy. I think the metal brow combs are the way to go! The plastic ones break every 5 mins! Also get a shape that suits the way the hair grows, eye shape etc. Overly plucked brows are a no-no!

Eye Primer Review: Too Faced Shadow Insurance vs. Urban Decay Primer Potion

September 5, 2009 / Noire Tropical Beauty / 0 Comments

TFSI vs. UDPP

I have been a longtime user of Urban Decay’s Primer Potion (UDPP), but I recently bought the Too Faced Shadow Insurance (TFSI) at Sephora because I wanted to use my V.I.B. coupon. I have always heard a lot of great things about TFSI and I decided to take the primer plunge.

Off the bat…these are two great, effective products. There are many similarities between the two. As mentioned before I have used both of these products with great success. They basically cost the same amount and possess similar properties. So are there any differences??? Um…yeh!

Now first, let’s look at the similarities….
