For this look, I added a slick of a glitter liner (Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner in Amp) along the lashline to add some sparkle to this aqua-green combination. I really like the glitter liner adds a little extra something to the look, without changing it too much.

For this particular look, I took inspiration from a skirt I have with a tie-dye, swirled effect. The skirt has a mix of black, pink, blue and purple and I thought it would look so cool to mimic that combination on my eyes.

If you are a fan of the Urban Decay Moondust eyeshadow singles or if you have always fancied trying them, then the new Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow Palette could be right up your street. Eight eyeshadows which contain the perfect mix of colour, pigment and sparkle – what’s not to love? The good news is that this palette is permanent, so you can take your time in considering if it is a must-buy for you (it was for me!).

For this look, I combined terracotta-brown and copper-orange eyesahadows to create a warm, autumnal effect on the eyes. I added in a little blackened olive-green eyeshadow to the outer v as well to add extra depth to the eyes.
Note: You can use any brand of eyeshadow you like which has similar shades to re-create this look (if you don’t have the Vice 4 palette).

I am a huge fan of the Urban Decay Vice palettes, as they usually contain a fantastic range of colours and finishes. So when I found out they were releasing a new palette as part of their 20th anniversary, I was super excited! The palette is currently exclusively available from Debenhams and the official Urban Decay webpage in the UK, giving us a chance to sample the delights of past and present must-have Urban Decay shades.
The Urban Decay XX Vice Ltd Reloaded Palette contains 20 eyeshadows spanning their history, including vintage shades back from Urban Decay’s early days, must-haves from their current collection and completely new shades. The vintage shades in this palette bring back a lot of memories for me, as I remember purchasing some of them in my student days. Goldmine was my very first Urban Decay purchase, swiftly followed by Midnight Cowboy and Hot Pants. What better way to try out some past much-loved shades and to experience must-haves from the current range?

When I started creating this look, I wasn’t quite sure what combination I was going to come up with. All I knew was that I wanted to try out the new Kiko 84 light green eyeshadow that I purchased recently. I ended up using purple and peach shades alongside the green. I think the combination is really fresh and spring-like, perfect for whenever you want something fun but soft on the eyes.

I visited the Livingston Designer Retail Outlet a couple of weeks ago and was incredibly excited to see that there is now a ‘Cosmetic Company Store’ there!!! If you live in the USA, you may have seen The Cosmetic Company Stores. This store is the first of its kind in Scotland (yaaaaay!) and so I was thrilled to see there is now one within driving distance for me.
The CCS sells premium brand make-up at reduced prices. The brands that I spotted on my visit were MAC, Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Estee Lauder, Smashbox and Bumble and Bumble. The products are genuine and there is nothing wrong with them. They tend to be those from limited edition ranges, surplus stock from existing ranges and shades which are being phased out by the make-up brands.
I picked up five different MAC goodies while I was in the store (read on to see what I picked up). I think I may have to go back in a few months again and see what new stock they have in!!

For this look, I used a bright jewel green eyeshadow with medium and deep chocolate browns in the crease to create a jewelled effect on the eyes. I used the Urban Decay Vice 3 palette to create this look but you can use any brand of eyeshadow you like which has similar shades.
This look is part of The Chocolate series, which shows how you can experiment with a different lid colour to change up an existing look. You can find The Chocolate series here.

For this look, I used shimmery, bright jewel blue on the lid for a pretty flash of colour. Combining brightly coloured eyeshadows with medium and deep chocolate browns in the crease is one of my favourite ways of wearing colour in a smokey, yet tasteful manner. I used the Urban Decay Vice 3 palette to create this look but you can use any brand of eyeshadow you like which has similar shades.
