Urban Decay A/W 2011

There are some beautiful things coming up from Urban Decay, not least the 15th Anniversary Palette containing fifteen brand new shades in a gorgeous blingy box. There is a good mix of neutral and bright shades and I've found it on-line already from Debenhams. It's quite expensive at £39, but the box is weighty and hasn't skimped on style.

Next up are the Super Saturated High Gloss Lipcolors, £14 each. These really do live up to their name, but I'd suggest keeping them in the fridge because their consistency is quite loose for a pencil. It's really clever to incorporate a gloss into a pencil and these certainly are glossy - the pay-back I guess is that when warm, they to tend to melt a bit. The shade I tried is Punch Drunk and gives mega-watt colour. 

Stardust Body Glitter Kit is fabulous, but I think a bit on the expensive side at £30. It contains five super-fine glitters in silver, turquoise, gold, blue and pinky-red, a glue stick and stencils. I chose to try the bluebird stencil and the result is gorgeous!

The set is really easy to use although the packaging is a bit too flimsy for the price (£30) in my view and while it is a plus that once the stencil is in place the glitter adheres extremely well, the payback for that is it takes determination to remove it!
