Urban Decay releases a new limited edition set of 8 pencils.
From PR:
Introducing Ocho Loco, a rainbow collection of eight FULL-SIZED 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils by Urban Decay. The set mixes FOUR new and EXCLUSIVE brights and shimmers with some of our best-selling, sexy shades. We also included a Grind House Double Barrel Sharpener, for the ultimate 24/7 set!
Makeup artists and beauty bloggers rave about their favorite 24/7 pencils, but always want more shades. Ocho Loco is a Technicolor dream with new shades like LSD, a navy with bright turquoise shimmer; Psychedelic Sister, a bright purple shimmer; and the long-awaited Mushroom, a taupe/pewter metallic, inspired by our best-selling new Eyeshadow.
Urban Decay almost never creates a set with full-size pencils, so Ocho Loco is a true collectors’ item for the eye pencil connoisseur. The craziest thing might be the price: $59 for eight full-sized pencils – that’s a value of $152!
This collection of pencils is housed in a sleek, multi-colored tray… like a box of multi-colored candy. Ocho Loco is a gift that makes an impression!
“Ocho Loco” means “Crazy Eight” in Spanish, appropriate for this OMG-worthy selection of 24/7 shades. Our highly-saturated and waterproof 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils go on creamy smooth, then set for long-lasting wear.
*Mushroom – grey taupe/brown metallic
*Hustle – medium metallic brown
Rockstar – dark purple metallic
*Psychedelic Sister – bright eggplant
Perversion – blackest black matte
*LSD – navy with bright turquoise shimmer
Junkie – dark teal pearl with golden shimmer
Stash – deep green with gold
*New and Exclusive colours!
The Ocho Loco 24/7Glide-On Eye Pencil set (SRP US$59) is available ONLINE ONLY at sephora.com, ulta.com, macys.com, beauty.com and urbandecay.com.

So I returned from an amazing trip to Turkey and I needed to give my hair a little TLC. I decided to do a deep cleanse with bentonite clay. What’s bentonite clay you ask?? I used Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay with contains 100% natural calcium bentonite clay, which I bought at Fairway in NYC for $6.95. You can find this at other stores and all over online.

Calcium bentonite or green bentonite is a naturally occurring clay that is known for it’s highly absorbing and detoxification properties. It can be used both internally and externally, but if you are going ingest bentonite clay, do copious amounts of research and proceed at your own risk! Anyway, calcium bentonite absorbs many things, water, oil, sebum, dirt, toxins, metals, free radicals, bacteria and other kinds of impurities and it is quite popular in the haircare and skincare communities. Many people with oily or acne-prone skin make facial masques as it quite effectively removes surface oil. I got some of it on my forehead and my dry skin felt suuuuuuper tight, so I know it works! I used it to cleanse and detoxify my hair, like a hair masque. So here’s how I mixed it:

Hey guys!
So as you may know, Maybelline NY is the official makeup sponsor for New York Fashion Week and they have released a limited edition mascara collection that will be available in stores only in August in the US. I don’t think these were released to all drugstores, I found mine at Walgreens and I saw them at Rite-Aid. Also I heard they are available at Target, but I have yet to see them in Duane Reade or CVS. Anyway, there are 4 new colours available in the classic Great Lash packaging. I love coloured mascara and the words ‘limited edition’ makes these irresistible to me! I picked up just one of the colours as you guys know that I am not a fan of the original as the brush does nothing to my lashes and the formula is kinda thin for my liking.
So here’s Totally Teal, a really nice colour.
