Ahh Vice 4 is here!!

The Urban Decay Vice 4 Palette in finally here ladies and gents, and it is everything! I was one of those crazies that waited for the palette to be released at Midnight (so 3am my time.. I even set a timer to wake myself up)  So finally I received the palette in the mail and literally when I opened it a beacon of light shot down from the heavens and the angels sang. It was just glorious! All of the colors are absolutely breathtaking!






Here's my look:







Here's what I used:

EYES
  • Base-  Cargo HD Picture Perfect Primer 
  • Lid- Urban Decay Vice 4 in Flame
  • Crease- Urban Decay Vice 4 in Bitter
  • Highlight- Urban Decay Vice 4 in Framed
  • Liner- On top Benefit Push Up Liner in Black and on the lower lash line Bitter

CHEEKS

It's a chronic condition

I have already been singing the new Cargo Venice Enchantment Palettes praises, I just love how versatile the colors are you can create bold looks or even more toned down looks. I have also been really impressed with the Wet N Wild Venice Beach line, the palettes are highly pigmented and even could be a dupe for the Urban Decay Electric Palette in terms of the color selection. Their liners remind me of the Stila ones but much more affordable. The star of the show in Chronic Condition which is a really beautiful teal-forest green color.

Emma Stone "Aloha" Movie Premiere Makeup


I have tried to recreate this look for weeks and every time I did I was not happy with the lip color, so I bit the bullet and bought the exact lip color that Emma used from Revlon. She had used Revlon Ultra HD in Hibiscus  I have yet to see Aloha, I really like Emma and Rachel McAdams so I'm hoping that it's good. I used the Cargo Venice Enchantment palette to create the eye look. This has become one of my favorite palettes to use this fall season.
