Not That It's Important, or Anything...

But if you haven't bought Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin, then you are clearly out of your mind.
Yes, it's that good.

And really, I don't get overly excited about many products, but this one has me all worked up.

Why, you ask? Simple. It takes my favorite eyeshadow primer base and combines it with my absolute favorite Urban Decay shadow, and puts it all into one easy step.

I would describe Sin as a shimmering light beige. Urban Decay calls it champagne. I use it the way others use Stila's Kitten . It makes for a great all over or highlighting shade and it blends well with everything. And now you don't even need the shadow. You can buy it combined with your favorite eye shadow primer. It is your favorite, right?

Urban Decay's Spring Collection Makes Me Want to Shop

I've been browsing over at UrbanDecay.com's website, and I have SO MANY things that I simply must have. They have some seriously great things coming out!

First up, their cream shadow. They have some of the same gorgeous colors that you find in their powder shadows, and some fun new twists. These are actually silicone based and are easy to blend and build. You can combine these with powder shadows as well, and of course it will work better with Primer Potion. I want Asphalt, Rehab, Suburbia, Grass, and Delinquent.

Next is their uber-fantastic 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil. They have four new shades available, each of which looks like it is based on their deluxe eyeshadow shades. They are Flipside, Graffiti, Underground, and Ransom. These eyeliners are simply the best I have ever used, and I have about six or seven of these in various colors in my personal stash.

And if you haven't tried their lipsticks yet, there is one more good reason to do so: they have taken their extremely popular Midnight Cowboy shade and turned it into a lipstick! I would describe it as a nude with lots of glitter/shimmer. It's always been popular and I'm sure this lipstick will be a great hit for them since the nude lip keeps coming back into fashion. And who doesn't need a go-to nude lip when they are rocking the smokey eyes?

Midnight Cowboy also makes an appearance in a new Heavy Metal Glitter Liner alongside Stagedive (turquoise), Catfight (dark pink), and Groupie (pale pink). These are always fun for a night out. I only have one, but it comes in handy.

I also heard a little rumor that Beauty Insiders can take advantage of the new Primer Potion in Sin over at Sephora. Why I haven't done that yet is beyond me, since Sin is my absolute favorite shade of anything Urban Decay has ever done.

What do you think about Urban Decay's new collection? Are you a fan? I've been wearing them for so long that I'm excited to have some new products in the mix.

Today's Eye: More Urban Decay Deluxe Goodness

I am quickly becoming an Urban Decay junkie. I really liked them before, but now I absolutely love them after playing with all their Deluxe Eyeshadows in my Deluxe Shadow Box.

I started today with Primer Potion, then used Underground all over the lid. On the outer corners I brushed Underground from the middle of the lid all the way over the browbone. Then I used Zero in the crease, blending really well. I also used Graffiti under the eyes, then lined them with MAC's Feline pencil, and used MAC's Engraved on the waterline. In the corners, I used Benefit's Miss Popularity.

It's easy to be a little intimidated by the bright shades in the box. But with good blending, and using more than one color, you can really create some great looks. I took Graffiti down a notch by blending in Zero in the crease, so it wasn't so bright. The more I play with them, the more I realize how many looks I can get out of 9 shadows!
