Urban Decay Anarchy Face Case - Quick Thoughts!

Is this case worth getting?  Yes, if you love pinks!




I recently picked up the new Urban Decay Anarchy Face Kit from Sephora.  Some of the products I enjoy trying the most - are these face kits that include everything you need to complete one look - an eye shadow, eye liner, blush, highlighter and lip product all in one! I think these kits are especially helpful when you are trying a new brand.

My first thoughts in seeing this new Urban Decay face kit was a big - wow! The colors looked so pretty and when I began to play with them -  the colors really had that something special.  

If you love pinks, silvers and taupes - you will love this kit!   

I tried this palette today and I loved the staying power. I did my make up at 8 am and went all day without the need for touching up. Of course, the lip product had to be touched up after eating and drinking lots of coffee! Each of these products are highly pigmented and the colors really are stunning. 

I think for any make up fan - one of the things we love most about the products we choose - is we love color, we love texture and we love it when that make up product brings us that something "special" factor. This face kit will not let you down! 

The price runs $44.00 and to me, it is worth this price. The eye shadows have a bit of shimmer to them which is typical of an Urban Decay product. I am hitting close to 50 years old and so I have to watch how much shimmer I put on these old eye lids - but, I really do like this kit.  




I did find though, in doing my make up today with this kit - I had to bring in one of my matte MAC eye shadows for blending.  This is the one downside to this kit.  So much shimmer and sheen to these shadows that it really lacked that great matte color needed for blending and for highlighting under the brow bone .... (unless you like shimmer there).

On first glance of these blushes, I was a little worried about the bright pink blush.  I wondered if it was going to give me that "clown" face! But, in applying it - it was super pretty!  

But beware - the blush is super pigmented and a little bit goes a long way!   Both of the blushes are beautiful!  

All in all - this kit is a winner.  I can't wait for the release of all the holiday kits.  Preparing my Christmas list already!  :-)
