Urban Decay Theodora Palette Swatches and Review

Hey guys!

Another palette for Disney Week. Today I'll be featuring the Theodora Palette from Urban Decay



Broken - Creamy color with a minimal sheen. Gorgeous color for highlight
Beware - Matte milk chocolate color. Really smooth and easy to work with. Beautiful transition color!
Bewitch - Chocolate brown shimmer
West - Burnt plum/brown
Spell - Half Gold w/ gold glitter and half Dark brown with green glitter
Jealous - Dark Green and Light Green

Overall, I love this palette. This is a gorgeous palette for neutrals, but you can use the greens to add a pop of color. I love that the colors pop out of palette so the colors can be put in other palettes or they do fit in the Urban Decay make your own palette they sell. The formula is super buttery and smooth on these colors, even on the completely matte Beware. Great palette! I love this!



Thanks for reading!

12 Days of Christmas: Day 10 - Fireside Glow

So my second post of the day (as promised) is the other Ulta exclusive China Glaze glitter!

Sunlight

Shade

Bottle <3
Fireside Glow. China Glaze Ulta exclusive. Copper glitter with holo glitter. Formula-wise this is the same as      ULTAmate Holiday 2 coater, but gritty and topcoat hungry. This one isn't as packed with the holo as Ultamate Holiday is, but its sill gorgeous! I'm really liking this to wear during the summer... let's see if I still feel that way when summer actually hits haha! What do you think of these Ulta exclusive glitters? Leave me a comment below if you have these!

Thanks for reading, until next time!



12 Days of Christmas: Day 9 - ULTAmate Holiday!

Good morning!
I'm so, so sorry I missed a day yesterday. I worked from 7 am to 12 pm and then I went shopping then I came home and had to decorate a tree and the living room since we finally got our 12' x 8' window fixed from the freak wind storm that hit my area at the beginning of December... I literally didn't have any time!

So since I was so flaky yesterday with blog posts, I'm making it up to you today by bringing you two posts!! Let's get started with the first one:
Sunlight
Sunlight

Shade

holo glitter nom!

Bottle <3 SO PRETTY!
ULTAmate Holiday. China Glaze Ulta exclusive. Gold glitter PACKED with holo glitter. Formula was great, only 2 coats for full opacity. This is a really rough, hungry glitter so prepare to pack on the top coat!

I can't even express how much I love this and I wouldn't even know about it if it wasn't for Traci at The Trace Face Philes. Even though there is an Ulta within walking distance from my house, I hardly ever go because I found a nail supply place that sells nail polish dirt cheap but as soon as I saw these on Traci's blog I had to go run out and get them and I'm so happy I did! I only go this and Fireside Glow. The Polishaholic did a comparison for Mistletoe Me here and I decided that since it looks exactly like Hot Like Lava from the Foiled collection, I didn't need it.

If you can still find this, you should definitely get it! I went back to Ulta yesterday to buy one more of each of this and Fireside Glow for a swap and they still have a ton! :)

Thanks for reading, until next time!

Ulta Neon Minis

Today's post is these Ulta Neons. I got these from Traci over at http://the-trace-face-philes.blogspot.com/. I also got OPI RENT from her but I haven't really used it or experimented with it too much to post about it yet. I really just wanted it because I'm a major RENT head (theater geek... yeah!) So without further ado... here's the neon minis.


From Top Left to Right: Sunbathing Beauty, Beach Bum, 
Bottom Left to Right: Bananarama, Surfer Girl.
2 coats for all, no top coat. I really love these colors... alot! my only problem is the formula. I actually thinned them some after I swatched them and they seem to be working better but yeah. As you can see, Beach Bum and Bananarama are really streaky. I wanted to keep them all at 2 coats each to show any difference in formula or streaky-ness. They all dry completely matte but they look very gorgeous with topcoat as well. I think I will definitely get adequate use of these for the rest of the summer. They're gorgeous enough for me to be able to put up with the formula issues.
