Holiday Beauty #3 – Too Faced/Urban Decay

By

The Holiday Beauty Fest rolls on…

Sometimes you feel like a fairy princess; sweet, serene and filled with light. Other times you feel like a rock star; dark, moody and sensual.

Sephora has you covered this holiday season with two amazing limited edition palettes: Too Faced’s Enchanted Glamourland and Urban Decay’s The Black Palette.

Enchanted Fairyland is an exclusive super set of Too Faced favorites for the eyes, lips, and cheeks, including festive, limited-edition shades for the holidays. The collection includes 15 high-pigment shadows, an anti-crease shadow primer, and beautiful shades of gloss, blush, and bronzer to create a range of versatile looks fit for a fairy princess.

In addition to the shadows (In The Buff, Exclusive Nude, George & Weezie, Velvet Revolver, Honey Pot, Teddy Bear, Exclusive Purple, Boy Toy, Peach Fuzz, Exclusive Green, Label Whore, Glamazon, Exclusive Plum, Ooh & Aah, and Stiletto) the set contains a Shadow Insurance primer, Glamour Gloss in Pillow Talk (the perfect neutral pink), La Vie en Rose Blush and Snow Bunny Bronze.

I must admit that at this time, I’ve swatched the palette only sparingly. Not because I don’t think the product is fabulous, or because I have no interest in the award winning anti-crease shadow primer. It’s because the palette is too darn pretty! It’s one of those things you want to open and just look at, and at $49 CDN for over $150 CDN worth of makeup, it’s the perfect present for a glamour gal on your holiday list.

But sometimes you don’t feel all sweet and sugary…

The Black Palette by Urban Decay allows even the meekest in the karaoke bar to discover her inner rocker. Conjure up your dark side with six black-based shadows, allowing you to create unlimited smokey-eye combinations that boost your sex kitten status.

This provocative palette includes deluxe minis plus an Eden Eyeshadow Primer Potion and a 24/7 Glide- On Eye Pencil in Zero (one of the world’s most famous chart-topping pencils),…ensuring perfect performance every time.

Shadows included: Black Dog (richest matte black), Barracuda (black with silver sparkly shift), Jet (black with purple sparkly shift), Sabbath (black with blue sparkly shift), Cobra (black with golden sparkly shift) and Libertine (black with emerald sparkly shift). For just $43 CDN, I’d say it’s easier than ever to rock out.

BUY IT!

Both limited edition palettes are available online and in-store for – you guessed it – a limited time.
