Review: Urban Decay Ocho Loco 2 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil Set

Wheeew, that name! I'll just refer to it as OL2 during this post. 
I've been drooling over this set since last summer, I mean.. Look at it. It has almost everyting! Of course UD decided that it wasn't for the european market (I couldn't find it anywhere, why the fuck does UD hate every continent except America so much?)
I had the plan to let my friend go for a search for when he visits the US in a few weeks, but then I saw that OL2 was on sale on UDs website. And I freaked. Because this is a Limited Edition set. The original price was $59.00, and now it's on sale for $39.00. One pencil kosts $20.00. THAT DEAL, THOO?!
So my boyfriend helped me with some p.o boxes some kind of shipping from that place, yada yada, so the total cost with shipping was about as high as the original price, but hey. Im ok with that. 
On with the review?

So the set contains eight full size pencils, five of them are exclusive new shades, and the Grindhouse sharpener (worth $10). The colours are Roach, Twice Baked, Crave, Perversion, Deep End, Mars, Ultraviolet and Tornado.
All of these shades are super pigmented, easy to blend, suuuuper smooth and long wearing. Just lovely.


From left to right.
Roach: A warm, coppery brown with shimmer.
Twice Baked: Cool brown satin with a gold sparkle. New shade!
Crave: Matte, cool, super dark brown.  New shade!
Perversion: Matte, black as all hell!
Deep End: Bright, metallic light blue with shimmer.
Mars: Metallic forest green with shimmer. New shade!
Ultraviolet: Bright medium burple with shimmer. New Shade!
Tornado: Dark eggplant, pearl sheen. New Shade!



After I let them set for a few minutes, and then draged my hand over the colors a few times.

And then some water damage...

To sum it up, I am really happy I bought this set. As per usual with the Glide on pencils, they can be a little tooo soft, and when I did the swatches, some of the tips actually broke. Im ok with that, since its quite nice to not need to push a pencil so hard on the eye area. 
The Ultraviolet color is a bit clumpy though, but the color is divine.. 
I dont think I have much negative stuff to say, since Im still in complete awe. Maybe one or two more matte colors might have been nice? Also I must point it out again, $39?! The whole set is worth $170? 

Also, I got some sample sizes of the primer potions.. I have never tried any of them!

Any thoughts?

Review: The Balm Schwing Black Liquid Eyeliner

Decided to try out The Balms "Schwing" liquid liner, just because I felt I had the need for a matte liquid liner. 
So first off, packaging. The Balms packaging is aaaalways super cute! Look at'em gurrrlz checkin out that aaaass! The actual eyeliner has the same exact packaging as the Urban Decay 24/7 Liquid Liner, which is'nt that weird since they are made in the same factory. 

They claim:
 "Lining and defining eyes has never been easier! Built with a uniquely thin and tapered felt-tip applicator, Schwing gives you careful control over subtle strokes and bold lines. Create winning looks with this rich, matte-black finish that won’t smudge, flake, or take forever to dry. Cool and compact, Schwing fits wherever you need it. Whether you’re home or away, get ready to bat those eyes and play the field!"

I do agree with their statements! The felt-tip is super thin and easy to use, it is suuuper black and dries quickly to a matte finish. It does not flake, but it will smudge a bit if you're like me with oily lids (my eyeliner always smudges at the outer corners, down under the eye, ugh.) It stays on well with out smudging on the lid though!







Urban Decay 24/7 Liquid Liner in Perversion next to The Balm Schwing Black Liquid Liner


 Both are jet black!


The Balm Schwing Liquid Liner does not claim to be waterproof, or even water resistant, but I wanted to try it any way. This is under running water and just a simple rub over the eyeliners.


Conclusion:
I do really like this eyeliner! It's not too expensive ($17), the formula is really good and it's super easy to work with! It would be cool it they made more colors, because at the moment, the only color is black.
I have some 'buts' though. Im not a fan of the felt tip, even though it's super thin (which I love). Felt-tips are always a bit too hard and stern for my eyes, so Im not usually a fan of them. Though I have only been using this eyeliner for about a week, so maybe it will soften a bit.
Also, since my eyes are a bit oily and the eyeliner smudges at the corners, I wish it would withstand that sort of thing more, I can't be the only person in the world with that issue.

All in all. Great liner. I'm not sure I will repurchase though, because I do enjoy my UD Liquid Liner a bit more, just for that tip and waterproof-ness. I do wish that UD would realese a matte version though....

Touch of Lumi

Sometimes I wake up in the morning (=noon) and have a vision or an idea of a makeup look that I want to do. Last friday was one of those days. I wanted a blue smokey eye with visible black and a touch of Lumi.
Sorry about the weird lighting. Im trying to figure out where to take pictures. Where I usually take pictures, the sunlight shines in and it's too bright. And the other side of the apartment the sun never shines in, so the light isn't as bright and almost too cold.

ESC

All though I did not activly watch Eurovision Song Contest, we had it on in the background while playing a few games of Munchkin. But ESC = glitter makeup! :D

My makeup looked like crap in the photos though, and I still do not have a good way too add glitter on top of eyeshadow without it all getting screwed up..
So I liked this makep from a far, but up close it's just messy.. Dried up liner and creasy glitter. Wah.

Reluz & Cake!

Me and Mr. Confusion went to see The Amazing Spider-man 2 a few weekends ago, so I went all gray.. Because reasons. Haha. Gray is almost white, my hair is red and I had a blue multichrome nailpolish on. Almost Spider-man. Good enough.
Also, I really want my liquid liner to arrive soon. Gel liners do not love me.
