Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Baked, Mildew, Asphyxia, Ransom and Whiskey

Happy Haloweeen!

But no, there's no make up tutorial (i am not an expert), just another product review as usual ^^

As we know, Urban Decay's most popular product is their eye make up line, the palette (especially naked and book of shadow), eye primer (Urban decay primer potion aka UDPP), and of course, eye liner! the glideeee on!



I was so in love with Whiskey, which discontinued already (i got mine from Roller Girl set, review here)  so i decided to give these 4 a try. They're a part of UD 15 year anniversary 24/7 glide on pencil set from last year's collection, as you can see at the middle of product.


ransom, mildew, baked and asphyxia has glossy end while whiskey has matte end.



the most rarely used glide on is mildew.
Strange, because i bought all four because of there's mildew inside.. it's just not as pretty as i thought it would be on me (╥﹏╥)/
  
 now into swatches..

baked described as "golden bronze" (beautezine), i love to use it as under-eye liner, eyeliner and as a base for another gold eye shadow. It makes shadow's color stronger and harder to fade. This one probably my favorite one.

baked supposed to be in permanent range but i can't find it in UD's website anymore. Maybe they've discontinued it? ≧△≦

mildew (permanent) described as "deep green" (UD), for me, it's a very deep green.
i wasn't expect it would be like this.. i think it would be more like mildew eye shadow color, a lil bit lighter and softer.
wearing it as eye liner makes me looks like a witch ≧△≦
i have to sharpen it very well, so it would line thin-ly on my eye.


asphyxia is the hard one to type, described as "fuschia with violet shimmer". As long as i know, it's not in permanent range.
When i saw asphyxia's swatch everywhere, i dont think i'd like it. But once i have it, i love it!
It's maybe not very great as eye liner, but as eye shadow base, or use it alone on lid, it's very great.
Once i used it in very hot weather, on busy day, and it stay for about 8 hours without faded. Almost all of my make up is gone, but Asphyxia stay on it's place. Score!

ransom (permanent) described as "violet with hot pink reflect" (beautezine) and "bright iridescent purple" (ud's website). For me, they're both right on it's own way ;)

ransom is my 2nd least favorite. It's pretty i know, but blue-family rarely be my favorite eye make up.

whiskey is another discontinued shade from urban decay. Temptalia described it as "medium-dark brown with warm, orange undertones and a faint sheen". It's my favorite eye liner make up, rarely fade and just good as complement for my naked 2 eye shadow, any of them :)

i swatch them together too ~
aren't they beautiful? 。◕‿◕。

another swatch with different lightning ^^

pro's :
travel friendly (remember that i just bring 4 of them when travelling?)
long lasting
waterproof
a lil bit smudging, so there's no too-fake liner
lot's of shades available
no scent
there's no crazy glitter
as long as i see, there's no mineral oil in ingredient list (UD web)
doesn't irritating
good pigmentation

con's :
pricey if you buy it out of set
faded more easily when use as under-eye liner

I know many blogger said nyx slide on is better than Ud's glide on. But i used to have nyx slide on # pink jewel, and it's wont smudge even a lil bit, makes it seems too fake on me. I gave it to my sister, as her emergency make up. I love UD glide on more ^^

have you got Ud glide on 24/7 eye pencil?
what do you think about it?

Etude Lovely Cookie Blush, review & swatch

night, Ladies ..

i am finally got Indonesian Beauty Blogger certification, i am qualified now! that's why i finally add IBB's logo on my sidebar(⌒▽⌒) *dance dance*



Truthfully, i want to celebrate with a review of indonesian product, but i haven't edit those pictures (i have tons of pic on my waiting list) so let's do with this one o(`ω´*)



Let me introduce you to my very first blush on .. Etude Lovely Cookie Blush # 03, but this is the old one. I bought it about 2 years ago, still very good until now *emotionally sigh-ing* .. i only do it with powder form product, if it's cream or liquid, i am sure i've thrown it away! hahaha ..


My sister, who never ever ever have her own make up product (dont even care to get one) once let me do her make up before she go to her friend's birthday party. And she was shocked when she saw my blush, she scream, "can't you get a normal blush like another people do?!?" .. i laughed, "what's wrong? what's normal blush color?" and she said, "pink of course!" haha .. But she let me put this un-normal blush color to her cheeks, not weird of course ;)




it's might old, but still very very pretty.
The design is still the same with the new one, and still, like etude usually do with their product, a princessy design .. ❤ 

This case is made from plastic. The top part is clear so we can see what's inside while the bottom part is colored close to blush's color. In this case, carrrot's orange.



Since it's an old blush, it's also use the old number. As long as i remember, when i purchased this, there's only 3 colors available : soft pink, pink and orange. I purchased the orange one, number 3 (ノ´∀`*)ノ

Etude also provided a cute soft puff to use with this cute blush. So, no weird blush brush now, it's puff ~

~ closer look to pan ~

i rarely, really really rare using it. You're still able to see the matrix on the border side.. not because it's unpretty, but because i was just start my blush-on junkiness on April i think .. before it, blush is so not my kind of thing .. hahaha ..


For me, this shade is between pink, coral and orange .. I am not very good describing color, but it has lots of pink to be orange blush, while there's also lots enough orange to make it out of pink blush range. And it's not coral thought. It has soft micro shimmer which provides fresh look in my opinion. Matte blush is not my favorite this time..

The best thing about Etude Lovely Cookie Blush i own is it's not oxydize, the color remains the same in fourth hour after i applied. It's not very long last thought, but it's okay to bring it aroung since it's travel friendly and accomodate with a soft puff to apply. It's blendable so puff is just more than enough.

For me, it's 3.5 out of 5.

i am not pay enough attention to the new etude lovely cookie blush, but i think it's close to # 05 (apricot pudding) than 04 (carrot cheese cake).. or maybe in between ..



do you have etude lovely cookie blush?
what do you think of them?
