| Urban Decay Eyeshadows: Rockstar (left) & Roach (right) |
I don't wear much eye shadow but after browsing various makeup blogs I felt inspired to start my own palette. I bought the Urban Decay Basics last year and was really impressed by their shadows, but I wanted to expand my colour palette beyond mattes and neutral browns, so I went for something I could use for special occasions. To start off my collection I went with Roach, a shimmery, golden brown and Rockstar a deep purple with hints of brown and gold in it. Both shadows are very pigmented, they have a huge colour payoff, and look even better with a primer underneath. They both have a velvety smooth texture that makes them very easy to blend as well. Unfortunately, I am a bit of a noob when it comes to applying eyeshadow, but you know what they say, practice makes perfect, and I will definitely be doing some serious practice with these. I can't wear matte browns all the time. Right?
I purchased these from Beauty Bay.com on sale for $22 AUD each. They are currently priced at $29 so if you're interested I would definitely recommend holding out until they have a sale. They also offer free shipping on all orders within Australia. Can't complain about that!
Roach is such a gorgeous shade - especially for all over the lid! for $22 thats not too bad..but idk if I could ever justify that considering I could buy almost half a naked palette with that haha
ReplyDeleteI agree, it does seem ridiculous to purchase them individually haha. That's why I'm not planning on buying many, just a few shades you wouldn't usually see in a naked palette.
DeleteLove the shades that you got! I haven't tried this product yet, but Urban Decay has such great makeup especially when it comes to eyeshadows :)
