Urban Decay love!
I have recently re-acquainted myself with Urban Decay and i'm totally in love. I had neglected urban decay products for quite some time but i recently tried their baked bronzer and big fatty mascara and i'm in love again. I'm also addicted to the perfume oils! I've just ordered some 24/7 glide on eyeliners so i'll have to see how they turn out.

I figured we needed a UD love thread - what do you love about UD? What are your fave products?

I love the fact that they are a cruelty free company and that a lot of their products are vegan. They also make make-up extra fun with their quirky packaging (like the muffin case for baked!) and interesting names.

My fave products are.......

Glitter liners - i actually think these are better quality than the MAC ones. They stay on much longer and they're easier on my sensitive eyes.

Baked bronzer - i've never used bronzer before but this really pretty without being over the top.

Sin perfume oil - this is my dream scent! It lasts for absolutely ages too.

The eyeshadows - absolutely gorgeous textures and brilliant colour pay off.

C'mon girls, let's spread the Urban Decay love!

Lord knows I couldn't even wear eye make-up until I discovered PP!! It's a god send!! Every other base out there still creases except this one!!

I also LOVE their eyeshadows. I think a lot of them are more vibrant and bolder than some of the MAC shadows. It's so great that they fit in the MAC palettes!! Although I will say I have more problems with the UD ones chipping - I just had an UD eyeshadow chip that I didn't even depot - it was just sitting on my counter and I opened it the other day and it was chipped.

I love the Sin fragrance oil too!

I love their lip gunks, though MAC's lipglasses have spoilt me a little but some of them are soooo good.

Other things, their eyeshadows - texture is heavenly, nail polishes, their cream e/s. I'm glad someone started up a UD-love thread!

Oh, and also that they're animal cruelty-free, that makes them hot in my book

I must try UD's PP...heard so many good things about it!

I use the primer potion, the big fatty mascara, and the eyeshadows. When I visit Sephora the Urban Decay section is one of the first places I head too! Plus their packaging is always soo cute

Mildew is my FAVE e/s EVER. Including all MAC e/s colours, Mildew is my all-time favourite. I wear it to work, to play, and it never looks over the top or dated.
Their blushers are beautiful too. Stunning colour and texture. I love paranoid and X.

A lot of my favorite e/s are Urban Decay..in fact, I got into MAC when I was trying to look for a replacement to a UD shadow I ran out of (no sephora or ulta around here). Primer potion, their blushes, the 24/7 pencils, the deluxe shadows, and their xxx glosses are also awesome. I also have their mineral makeup, but its too dark for me (right now) so I haven't really gotten the hang of using it.

I love urban decay's eyeshadows. I don't however, like the deluxe shadows. They don't last too long and it still takes a couple of strokes to get good color payoff. I bought peace, heat, honey, graffiti, and zero and I'm returning them all either today or tommorow.

Urban Decay is my original love.

I love PP. I couldn't live without it.

I am also a sucker for shattered and gash liquid liners.

Lip Gunks are amazing as well. Especially Biker!

And I love the new Blow Lip plumper. It plumps my lips without the pain and leaves my lip a pretty pink!

I would like to express my love for their heavy metal glitter eyeliners. They are so so much fun.
I love to go to sephora and just put like, all the urban decay on my hand and arm in specific color combos to match my outfit,

I love the primer potion, paranoid lipgunk (d/c'd) and all of the non glittery eyeshadows. I am also loving their 24/7 eye pencils despite my initial skepticism. I love the glittery shadows too, but they always irritate my contacts :confused:

I think UD is great quality. I've narrowed down my UD eyeshadow -swapped/sold away all the ones with glitter fall out- to these: Snow, X, Half Baked, Rust & Blunt. To me those are must haves. I did get 2 of the 24/7 liners but thought the colors were too un natural and swapped the 2 of them for MAC sweetie cake eyeliners.

I LOVE U/D. Their Sin e/s is a staple which I can't live without. It's so awesome.

I also use regularly their X and Paranoid blushes. BeneFit Benetint with a sweep or two of UD's X blush = the PERFECT blush for a subtle pink glow, looks beautiful for a summer garden party or the like. Delicate and sophisticated (on NW20 skin).

And how could I forget their Urban Camouflage concealer with the beige and the green compartments in the pot!

Oh and the face cases... I have 1st date to pin up and Sell Out. Now I am lemming the Skull shadowbox to no end... aaahh!

I love Urban Decay but I hate that they always seem to discontinue so many things...no more lipsticks, nail polishes, flavored powders, skincare, powder foundation, etc. The blushes they have now, while still gorgeous, aren't the exact same ones they had before. I'm always afraid to fall in love with something of theirs for fear of it being gone!

But still, I do love their eyeshadows (Acid Rain, Mildew, Crash, Snow, Last Call, Vert, Shattered, Sin, X), mineral foundation, Illegal lip pencil, face cases/shadow boxes, 24/7 pencils, and Score blush.

I wish they'd bring back the lipsticks and nailpolishes, and also expand the eyeshadow line even more. The Deluxe shadows are a good step forward...no glitter in them! I'd also like to see a more "stable" lineup of regular products with fewer gimmicky limited-edition or quickly discontinued items. UD is just weird because most of the products are artistry-quality rivaling MAC, NARS, etc. but yet they've got
a lot of novelty items. Oh well! I still love them
