lmao! That's how I feel at Ulta. Well I guess I'm lucky because the one Sephora in my state has nice girls with pretty makeup.

Plus cash back. And the products are usually in stock online. I prefer it to in-store shopping. I have to drive at least an hour to get to either an Ulta or Sephora and I hate driving.

Sorry for the multiple posts - I just figured out how to quote multiple people in one lol

I should not have ordered the Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in Naked with my Glinda palette.  Naked and Glinda are nearly identical.  I am sooooo happy with the palette though.  I'm going to play with it for a few minutes now - if only to get a feel for the eyeliner, lip color, and eyeshadow textures.

ETA: Oh dear, I really like this eyeliner.  The lip color is a little darker than my natural lip color, but it still looks nice and natural.  I tried illusion, aura, and south and, like the lip color, it's nice and natural.  I look like myself, but better - exactly what my typical daily makeup looks like.  So far, I'm loving the palette.  I'm a little disappointed that it didn't come with a brush or applicator, but I had one, so it's no big deal.

It's so much better than the other pencil eyeliners I've tried.  It went on so smoothly and was darker than I thought (nice surprise)!  I'm going to wear it again on Wednesday (Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are my experimentation days - I have class on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday and really don't want to experiment on days I actually see people).  I want to see if it will last all day.  I have a feeling I'll be buying Urban Decay eyeliners in the future.  

If you use an Urban Decay eye primer, which one do you use?  I've been meaning to try it for a while, but there are so many options.   -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Urban Decay Primer Potion comes in Original, Eden, Sin, and Greed and I have all 4 of them in full size with 4 backups of the Original primer potion (since I use that one the most).. I would stick with the original first and then branch out to the other ones..

BUUUUUUT..

Urban Decay has their Original + Sin Eye Shadow Primer Potion Duo on sale for $22 which is so worth it since ONE of their regular primer potion is $20! So basically $2 more for another full size tube! :] Which is such an amazing deal and I think that you should totally do that!

If I had to put them in order from what shades I like the most to the least then it would have to be Original, Sin, Greed, and then Eden.

I hope that I kinda helped you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yup! I 100% agree with that order, too!

Great minds thinks alike! ;]

I just can't seem to love Eden enough... I'm gonna try to use it more often haha

So I opened my orders today!  Ah - both of the Oz palettes are super NICE!  I think they are the best palette's UD has come out with in awhile and I'm so glad to see them include a full-size lip pencil.  They do make really good ones.

Trying to decide if I want to keep the Glinda/Theodora lip pencils as I do have both Naked/F-bomb and they're permanent.  I have so many lip products it's impossible to finish anything because I switch daily.  

I'm going through my UD stash to see if I have similar shades.  Today I did the purple shade (Tornado) from the Glinda palette.  The closest I could find was Rockstar.  They're definitely in the same family/tones but Rockstar is a hint darker. 



Order: 1. Rockstar (permanent/current), 2. Tornado (LE from Oz), 3. Freakshow (top, Deluxe/discontinued) / Ransom (tiny dot below, Deluxe/discontinued), 4. Vice (LE from Vice palette), 5. Purple Haze (non-matte version/discontinued), 6. Metropolitan (discontinued), 7. Crash (discontinued)

Another view:



I have slowly been scouring the ends of the Earth to find old vintage UD shades and for the fun of it finally swatched two oldies: Metropolitan and Crash.  O.M.G!  Both of those are SO PRETTY.  Probably glitterbombs but whoa, are they gorgeous and unlike anything UD has available anymore.  I really wish they'd bring back some old shades in the new formula with all the edge and glitter - they are so neat!

P.S. If anyone has some old UD shades they want to get rid of, slightly used or stuck away - let me know!  I still have a handful I'm looking for.

Eden's formula is too watery or something.  I hate blending it down.  And it makes me look a tad ghostly.  

Ho hum.

This! I'm currently working my way through a travel sized bottle of Eden and soooo much product comes out on the brush and gets everywhere. It makes my eyelids look ghostly too, so I always have to be really careful to apply it neatly and cover it all with eyeshadow or I end up with ridiculous contrast between the primer and my skin haha.

Are the different "primer potions" different colors or different formulations altogether?  I think I have a sample of the purple one somewhere, but I'll get the $22 duo. I like the Tarte primer I have, but everyone seems to adore (and nearly fangirl over) the UD primers.  Thank you for the help!

IMO...somewhat both.  Sin/Original are both a little thicker whereas Eden/Greed are more liquid consistency.  All of them work well to hold shadows regardless of texture.

Original = clear.

Sin = champagne shimmer

Eden = matte light nude

Greed = true golden shimmer

Pretty much your shadows cover up the colors anyway - maybe it makes a slight difference if you match the base to your look.  (I do, but not sure it matters TBH.) But you could get away with wearing Sin/Greed alone for a sheer hint o' color.  Both are pretty.

Different shades and texture.. But the formulation is all great! I'm gonna do a post on Urban Decay Primer Potions now haha.. But i highly reccommend the original + sin duo since it is only $22 for TWO full sizes tube.. Hehe

Thank you!  I ordered the duo & am looking forward to trying it.  I like the sound of Sin (never thought I'd say that).  Thank you for all the information, ladies!  I'm looking forward to reading your post, Vicky.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm pretty sure the Theodora lip pencil is just the F-Bomb pencil renamed, so you could always pick that up by itself.

I got my Glinda palette from sephora yesterday. I will give it a spin today. It is gorgeous. I use the ud pp in "greed". I've never used the original ones. I may have tried "Eden" before- I did get a sample of it in my order.
