Here's How to Wear Bright Green Eyeliner

Here's an excerpt from OnSugar blog Cee Me.

Hi everyone, I have a huge cold and to hide my red nose, I did these eyes today. They're still perfect for school or work even though they are fairly bright, but they're also very, very easy. I used  Laura Mercier Foundation Primer ($30), followed by a mixture of Make Up For Ever HD Foundation in 140 Soft Beige ($40) and Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer ($42). I used Laura Mercier Undercover Pot ($34) in no. 3, which contains the Secret Camouflage and Secret Concealer as concealers, and the Translucent Loose Setting Powder ($20) to set everything.

On my eyes, I used Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion ($18). I used 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Graffiti, which I bought in the 24/7 Super Stash ($36). To set the liner, I used Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow in Graffiti ($18). I set it even though it's a waterproof liner because it's snowing outside and I'm sneezing and have a cold, so I needed some extra security. This also adds to the depth of the color. After this, I used my Bare Escentuals Buxom Lashes mascara and I was done.

The Best/Worst Lip Gloss I've Ever Bought! Urban Decay Pocket Rocket in "Kirk"

Here's an excerpt from OnSugar blog Addicted to All Things Pretty.

Here's an excerpt from OnSugar blog Addicted to All Things Pretty. Have some advice for her?

Almost everything about Urban Decay's Pocket Rocket in "Kirk" is perfect. The creamy sheer nude color is the best I've found to date. The package is cute and slim (great to keep in your pocket) and the gloss left my lips moisturized even after I removed my makeup. I loved it so much much I asked my fiance to buy me 2 more soon. So what's the problem? Keep reading

Reader Review of the Day: Urban Decay Eye Shadow

Urban Decay's Eyeshadow ($16) has long been a favorite of makeup junkies, but lately the company has expanded its collection even further to include new textures and colors.

Urban Decay's Eyeshadow ($16) has long been a favorite of makeup junkies, but lately the company has expanded its collection even further to include new textures and colors. Reader gooz1231 tried out the newest palette, and says:

"The brighter colors have great pigmentation and they go on lovely and smoothly. Some of the colors, like Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, tend to have chunky glitter, so I would avoid those—but the rest are really nice. They are a little bit more expensive than MAC eye shadows, but I would still recommend them anyway."

I actually love Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, specifically because the glitter is so bold, but that's why it's important to get more than one opinion, and her point is well-taken. Is there a cosmetic you like that I don't, or vice versa? I'd really like to hear your take on it, then.

Transformers: 5 Rings With a Beauty Secret Inside

When I was little, I was absolutely obsessed with those cheapy clear plastic rings full of glittery, gooey lip gloss in what I now realize were totally gross artificial flavors.
Rings With Makeup Hidden in Them

When I was little, I was absolutely obsessed with those cheapy clear plastic rings full of glittery, gooey lip gloss in what I now realize were totally gross artificial flavors. As my ability to judge product quality has improved, though, my nostalgia for those little rings hasn't left me. Feeling sentimental the other day, I Googled "lip gloss rings," only to find that there are, in fact, a whole bunch of high-end, very pretty versions that are totally appropriate for grown-up ladies.

Reader Review of the Day: Urban Decay Cosmetics Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss

Back in March when I took this

Back in March when I took this highly scientific survey about the launch of Urban Decay Cosmetics Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss ($19), the majority of you were excited. Recently, reader Burotukunam tried out the sexy new product, and here's what she had to say:

I couldn't help myself. I just bought Doug. It looks like a bright pink shimmery shade . . . and is actually quite sheer with a hint of color. They have a type of guy for everyone, though. It's supposed to smell like crème brûlée. Mine kind of smells like cookies to me, but it's still good. The gloss itself is sheer and a little on the thicker side but smooth. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five was because I wish they made the colors separately and let you choose your top to mix and match.

Have you tried some new products on the market as of late? Tell us all about them on the Product Reviews pages. Oh, and don't forget that Urban Decay's put your guy on a Pocket Rocket contest ends Friday, if you want in on a little of the action.

If you recall, Urban Decay recently launched its Pocket Rocket lip glosses ($19 each), which feature hunky men that are clothed, and then not-so-clothed, with a tip of the, uh, packaging. The majority of you were loving the idea, and now, in celebration of next year's launch of two new shades, Urban Decay is asking you to help choose two new guys to feature in the collection.

You can nominate your boyfriend, husband, brother, or anyone you deem appropriate from now until July 17 by heading to the contest website. Don't have anyone to suggest? No worries. The winners will be chosen based on votes, and there are plenty handsome fellows from which to choose. Bonus? If the guy you nominate wins, you're off to the photo shoot in southern California, too.

Love It or Hate It? Urban Decay's Naughty Never-Nude Glosses

Next month, Urban Decay is launching Pocket Rocket lip gloss, which aims to be a super-sexy way to show off your lips.

Next month, Urban Decay is launching Pocket Rocket lip gloss, which aims to be a super-sexy way to show off your lips. The packaging is reminiscent of those kitschy ball-point pens from the '60s — you'd tip them, and a lady's clothes would magically disappear. This time, though, it's men who are being objectified, as eight dudes' outfits seem to slide off when the lip gloss is moved around. What's more, the tube is coated with pheromones. Ostensibly, this will help you attract a mate. What do you think of this launch — fun and flirty or dumb and dirty?

Product Review: Urban Decay Lipstick

I was so excited to check out some of the new Fall items from Urban Decay.

I was so excited to check out some of the new Fall items from Urban Decay. My favorite product to look at is the pale shimmery peach lipstick in Indecent ($22). Too bad that my feelings about the product aren't as positive. Upon opening the dagger-adorned case, I anticipated that this peach goody was going to be my next can't-live-without lipstick. However, once I put it on, my excitement deflated like a punctured helium balloon.

I'm hyper-sensitive to taste and smell and this earned a full demerit in each area. The scent is overly sweet (think Splenda mixed with caramel) and it comes off way too strong. I don't want to seem like I'm contradicting myself, so let me make it clear that it's one thing to have your wash-off body scrub smell like food, it's quite another when the product is under your nose. The taste is doubly disappointing. It has a synthetic and sharp, metallic flavor that completely contradicts the smell.

Also, although I like shimmer, this full-on glitter is over the top. When the creamy lipstick settles, the chunks of glitter remain and make your lips look dry and cracked. I wanted to run out from under the lighting and do an immediate lip scrub — that's how unflattering it was.

What I can say is that the texture is creamy (it gets a star for the silky, smooth texture) and that the packaging is adorable (one more star). For anyone that's interested in the alluring color of these lipsticks, I simply urge you to go for a test-drive before you buy.
