Urban Decay Naked Skin HD Foundation Review

 Sample From Imats
Last week I attended the IMATS makeup trade show at the Pasadena Convention center and probably my favorite find of the show was the Urban Decay Naked Skin HD Foundation.  I've tried many different types of foundations and I find that this is at my top 3 list of foundations.  At the show they were not selling the foundation just yet but they color matched me and gave me a two week sample to try out, I am color number 5 and in Mac I usually wear NC35.  The next day I tried the new foundation sample I received using my Sephora Pro foundation Airbrush brush #56 to apply to achieve the results below.

The consistency of the foundation was watery so I was skeptical that it would have medium to full coverage as they were advertised.  Much to my surprise the foundation has GREAT coverage and it is a buildable foundation so you can adjust from medium to full coverage.  The foundation felt very light weight on my skin and lasted through out the day. I have very oily skin so I did notice a bit of shine towards of the end of the day but this isn't a deal breaker for me because most foundations make me shiny towards 5pm if applied around 9am.  Overall this foundation is a great addition to Urban Decays Naked line of products and does not disappoint.

Pros:
Weightless
Medium to full coverage
Very blendable
Can apply more layers for more coverage

Cons:
Made me a little shiny towards end of the day

The New Naked Skin HD Foundation will be released on Jul 26th on their website, and it will be in regular stores (Ulta, Sephora, Macys etc) starting July 29-August 1.  There are a total of 18 weightless, medium to full coverage shades for $38.

Eyeshadow Primer Potion Tube - Eden

So, for the past 12 years I have been an avid user of the MAC paint eyeshadow primer and it has been my *never fail* primer as long as I have been wearing and putting makeup on other people....until this weekend.  I went to my local Sephora and noticed that Urban Decay had come out with several different colorways of their primer and so as a makeup junkie I tried some on my hand to see the consistency of the product.  I liked how it was silky and I could tell right away that the eyeshadow with stick to the primer well and give it longevity and vibrancy.  I asked for a sample so that I can try it on at home with my own eyeshadows and experiment with it.  To my delight I find that this primer out performs my beloved and trusted MAC paint tube.  Although I love my MAC paint tube and I had always felt that it dried too fast and I had to quickly put on the eyeshadows for it to keep its tackiness to hold the shadows.  With the Urban Decay primer it holds its semi tackiness to have the eyeshadow adhere and gives me more time to apply the colors necessary.  I purchased the color Eden because it was the nude color so that I can use it with any color eyeshadow.  It comes in 4 different shades Original sheer nude, Sin-shimmering champagne, Greed-gold, Eden-matte tawny.  This new primer is a MUST have~!!!!

Tony Moly Milky Tint #1 Milky Pink & Tony Moly Berry Berry Magic Lip Tint [#2 Green Apple]

 Hey Everyone, so lately I have been obsessed with lip tints.  I re-watched the Korean drama *Boys over flowers* and I  noticed Jan dee's lightly tinted lips that gave her that *just bitten* look.  I wanted to achieve that same look as it's winter so I've been more lazy these days about wearing lip gloss and lipstick, so this is a great alternative!!! I get color on  my lips and lasts all day long without reapplying through eating and kissing :) I was researching about TonyMoly backstage gel eyeliner (I'll be writing a review on it soon) and came across these two lip tints so I decided to give these a shot first.

Berry Berry Magic Tint Review:
Although it's green in the jar it goes on your skin as a clear pink tint.  As you can see the Berry Berry Magic has a little bit more color than the Milky Tint and it's a bit more hydrating as the gel stays on your lips a little longer.  It has a great light green apple scent that I love~!

Milky Tint Review:
Milky Tint is a little bit lighter in color and a bit more softer.  I personally like the lighter pink look on myself as it looks more natural. The milky tint is a watery consistency as is a bit drying, but I just put on some chapstick on top and it was fine and it has a great light scent to it that I like better than the green apple scent~!

Both of the tints stayed on all day and all night although you need to give the Berry Berry Magic tint a little bit of tint for it to stain your lips.  The Milky tint stains your lips immediately. I love both the tints and it would just differ on what kind of color I'm feeling on the day of :)
