"UD Makes Nice" Haul+Swatches

Shello (: So most everyone's been taking advantage of Urban Decay's awesome sale items. I hopped on the bandwagon & waited two weeks for my order. I ended up getting a Cali girl's order instead of mine. After a bit of crying & sulking out of pure disappointment (Yes, I know. Pathetic. -___-) & a long nap.. I felt better. The next day my man was sweet enough to sort it out with UD, even though he used not-so-sweet words with them. They said they were out of stock of some of the things we had ordered Asphyxia & Shattered. But they said they would replace those with cream shadows & use next day delivery. Awesome! Right? I really wanted Asphyxia but ehh, whaddayagonado! Luckily, the girl whose order I received had ordered Shattered & UD let me keep her order. So yay! I really wasn't expecting their package the next day or that they'd go out of their way to make up for the mistake. But they did! They really did. So kudos to them! I had already sworn off buying from them on my Twitter. I know, I'm so gosh darn dramatic. I later said with a much more level head & a much more realistic outlook "Well.. I just won't buy from them online." Lol. Mistakes happen though. Anywho! On to the haul..

Can I just say the wrapping paper is freakin awesome? I didn't get wrapping paper like this on the first order, just this one. & It's soooo cool. I'm totally keeping it.
Cream Shadows $17.00 $3.00
I honestly didn't think I would like these. I've owned cream shadows before but not a ton. I don't like the gooeyness feeling on my eyelids. But these are really nice. They have a little sponge wand like lipglosses have, which is awesome & very convenient. I actually love all four of these. I can't pick a favorite from these. [Swatches Below] 
 

Matte Single Eyeshadows $17.00 $3.00
Ugh! These shadows were really what my little heart was truly set on. Especially Electric & Purple Haze. I've been wanting them foreverrr! I always imagined they'd be like my matte shadow Mac Violet Trance. Meaning, I expected the swatches to look more like this. & Honestly, I wouldn't have cared! I wanted them that badly. But I was very pleasantly surprised! These shadows are super silky & soooo pigmented. I didn't expect this much color payoff. I loved them so much+ they're matte. Yayyy. [Swatches Below] 
  

 Loose Pigments $20.00 $1.00
These babies are what drew all the people in, I think. They were only a dollar! Eeeep! I was really glad I was able to get Shattered. Thanks Cali girl! I really like Rockstar too. It's a really dark sparkly purple. It's gorgeous. I never wear greens.. like ever! I always vow that I'll start but I never do lol. Protest is really pretty, so I'll try to put it to good use. [Swatches Below]  


Box Of Potions
I'm not sure how much this usually goes for. I couldn't find it on their website but Amazon says $38. I've found that you can't always trust Amazon though lol. They threw this one in for funsies. It includes a Complexion Primer Potion • Lip Primer Potion • Eyeshadow Primer Potion • Eyelash Primer Potion. Of course!! They would send me $30 worth of primers though. Lol I was just telling Banannie that I never use my primer potion.. because I don't see any difference with it. So I don't even bother. So of course, they would send me this. Lol I'm just being Alanis Morisette-ish! Of course I appreciate it. & I really am thankful that they were so helpful & quick about it. So many thanks to them & a whole bunch of thanks to my Bae for being here for me, even when I'm being incredibly childish. lol <3

Yaaayyy!
Yayy! MakeupByNessa was having a giveaway recently! She had 3 place winners & I was her second place winner. Yayy! Lol My prize was pigments from her sister's very own ICE Cosmetics. & Let me tell you, the colors are amazing! They are soooo easy to work with & the colors are so freakin gorgeous.

A pic of their business card. Cuuuuute! x3

I swatched all the pigments & you should've heard me lol I was in the bathroom like "Wowww.. Oooo.. Omgg" My dog must've thought I was such a weirdo. I love all the colors. Especially HD Pink. Lust is sooo gorgeous. I love them all. My man was impressed that it was their very own shadow line. He was like "So.. they made that logo?.. and the colors? .. Naw.. [Pause] Yo, that's cool." lol I've been trying a new color every day. So again, thank you so much Nessa! Don't be shy to follow her, here on blogger/her YT. She does amazing makeup. & Just in case you don't believe me, here are some pics from her recent post..

Gorgeous!

Hope ya'll enjoyed the swatch fest <3 lol

Awww that was sweet of your boyfriend to solve that issue for you. I think all girls are a little dramatic. I act like Kim Kardashian sometimes (her bratty attitude) LOL. I would have reacted the same way you did. Awesome haul though!!! UD has great customer service!

Maryam Maquillage said...

Unknown said...

Wow great haul. I love the cream shadows. I can't believe they were only going for 3 dollars. Asphalt and whipped are my fav from your swatches. Sorry to hear about the shipping drama with your purchase. Glad they were able to settle things so quickly. Holy crap the pigment of those ice cosmetics! Very nice.

I'm definitly am in need of a primer potion. It's been a long time and they sure do make a difference. Great haul :D

Eden-Avalon said...

Firstly, that EOTD is BEAUTIFUL! I love it!

I"m sorry about your negative experience with UD. It does sound like a nightmare. I'll probably still brave online shopping though - since you can't get the sale priced items IRL.
