Er, I’m not talking sins of the “seven deadly” variety, one of which, lust, I have for Ryan Reynolds.
These kinder, gentler sins live in the Urban Decay Little Sins Eyeshadow Primer Potion Set ($29), a brand spankin’ new Sephora exclusive with four travel-sized bottles of Urban Decay’s famous Primer Potion in four different shades.
Stop unsightly shadow creasing and fading with the three classic shades in Original, Sin and Eden, or get a little selfish with the newest shade, shimmery golden Greed.

Greed on mah lids!
Greed, a cool-toned lemony gold on my NC35 skin, brightens lids with a noticeable glow, and I can really see it being a hit with girls who like the way they look in coolish yellowish golds.
If you like these Little Sins, the limited edition kit’s available now at Sephora and online at sephora.com.
A Glee-ful return!
WHOA! Did you watch Glee tonight? Good, right? Tabs and I were pleasantly surprised. 🙂 I think the new season just got off to a good start!
In other news, how was your Tuesday? I’m about to paint my nails and hit the haaay! What are up to right now?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
makeup morsels says
ooh Greed is a gorgeous color. Still, if I’m buying UDPP, it will be their extra-large repackaged version. I know I could depot it, but I’d rather just buy a squeeze tube 🙂 This looks like a great way to sample the different shades though.
Karen says
It is, especially if you’re new to the line. 🙂
Kristen says
I knew this would happen. The second I drop a lot of money on the MAC VV collection, something would come out that I would want lol. This is the 3rd thing that I’ve seen that I feel that I need.
Karen says
It’s like a weird universal law, right?
What did you get from Venomous Villains?
Kristen says
I got all the lip colors in the collection and De-Vil eyeshadow. My poor wallet ha!
Karen says
Oh NICE! Which lip colors are your fave right now? I’m loving Revenge is Sweet Lipglass at the moment.
Jess says
I LOVE the Urban Decay primer potions!! This set looks sooo awesome. Now if only Sephora shipped to Australia 🙁
Karen says
Wouldn’t that be awesome if they did? I bet a lot of Austrailian makeup addicts would be on sephora.com 24/7!
Jen says
Maaan… I saw this on sephora.com, and I want to try Greed sooo bad! How do shadows look blended over it?
Karen says
Hi Jen,
This just landed on my desk yesterday, so I only had time to do a quick wash of color of the product over my lids. Let me try some blending today and I’ll let you know how it goes!
Annigjen says
these look so cute 🙂
I would buy them if they would be sold here :p
Karen says
Dontcha just love tiny makeup? It’s not only nice to look at, but it’s perfect for travel.
gio says
This looks like a great set. I love UD primers and Greeds looks so pretty and interesting.
Karen says
I can see you rocking Greed with some bright teals!
Amee says
marvelous!!!!! the shades are very pretty.. m also planing to swatch now after reading ur post..
Karen says
Cool! I hope you like Greed. 🙂
Kim says
My first primer should be arriving shortly (but it’s LORAC). My UD purchase was the 24/7 Jackpot. Bright colored liners, here I come! 🙂
Karen says
Can I just say that I’m so excited for you?! You’re going to look FAB in your new brights. 🙂
If you find yourself needing to ease your way in you could always do something colorful but too cray-cray, like Ransom (dark purple) or Mildew (shimmery dark green) first!
Kim says
Thank you! I thought you’d be proud that I am FINALLY going to take the color plunge! 🙂 I’m actually really, really excited for them to arrive and I’ve vowed to wear every color at least once (even if I’m slightly uncomfortable and/or get some alarmed stares from passersby). HAHAHAHA!
mint says
they seem wonderful! and a very good size ~ I wonder if they’ll sell it here too..
Karen says
Yeah, they’re perfect for travel!
Anna says
Thats going on my xmas present list…….hmmm….seconds thoughts forget it, i’ll get it myself !!! lol.
Karen says
LOL, you don’t know how often that happens to me around the holidays, too! I’m like one for you, one for me. One for you…
Nina says
It WAS a good season premiere! Rachel – how can you be sooo mean! I <3 Artie soooo much! 😀
Oh Greed – pls be mine too! 🙂
Karen says
I really enjoyed it. I hope the writers continue to focus on the story!
Did anybody else notice how Emma was totally MIA?
Nina says
Uh huh. I missed her and her outfits! :/
Karen says
I hope the writers continue on this track! I think I might be falling in love with the show again.
Lee says
Hey Karen and beauties 🙂 hows things?
Its been a few wks 4 me cos i was away on holidays and didnt have enough time 2 come check the blog during the day 🙁 i swear i was having withdrawls lol and if i did have spare time we had slow frustrating speeds so i didnt bother…sigh 🙁
But anyways im here now 2 have a wonderful few days spending quality time with ur blog 2 catch up hehe 😛
Do we have these in Aus? i have been leaning more and more 2wards using a lid primer lately and seems like Urban Decay is the way 2 go thanks 2 ur reviews 🙂 ( plus i think the bottles r so cute lol )
I think i would like 2 try out Sin, what was it like blended?
Anyways im blabbing on now since i missed the blog so much!
So have a good day/night/whatever time zone ur in guys 🙂
Karen says
Hi Lee,
Nice to see you again! I hope you had a lovely time on your holiday.
I’m not sure about Urban Decay’s availability in Australia. You might want to contact their customer service people to find out:
Regarding the Sin Primer Potion, here’s a look and some swatches I did a while back:

saku says
These look good.
Karen says
Do you think you might pick this set up, Saku?
saku says
Yes, because I never use an eye primer before. So this may be a fun, new experiment.
Karen says
They really do make a difference in the wear time. Let me know what you think of it once you pick it up. I’d like to know if over people have trubs the same blending issues I have with the Original version!
saku says
I’ll try and pick it up at sephora when they have the ff sale. Plus they look so cute in the box. Can’t wait.
Renee says
Love this eye primer! I have a small bottle of the original that’s almost out, and I keep scraping the sides to get every little dab out lol. I’ll have to pick up this set 🙂
Karen says
If you love the original you might want to pick up the huge Professional Size that’s out now! It’s a really good deal:

lovemymetallics says
I love the lippie you have on here! who makes??
Karen says
Hi Lovemymetallics,
That’s Benefit Sugar Cookie. You can see swatches and read the review here:

Christy says
Wow, I gotta get this! I looooooovvveee UDPP 😉
Karen says
Sweet! Which Primer Potion is your fave?
Jessica says
I love UDPP! and now they come out with a Greed, looks like such a great color! I think I’ll be nice and gift this to someone else =) (I have the other three!)
Karen says
Smart idea! You can use the other three as stocking stuffers!
Elle says
I love the idea of this–gotta love variety. And I loved the Glee premiere! Charice was adorable and I love the new blonde kid too. And the idea of “Asian Camp” really killed me. 🙂
Karen says
You know what’s funny? If Asian Camp was real, my parents would’ve totally sent me.
Liz Diaz says
I use the “original” UDPP. Do you think any of those would be better for darker skin tone?
Karen says
Hi Liz,
I’ve been wearing Eden for the past few months and have been liking it a lot. I only have to use a little bit and it has a nice brightening effect on my lids, too.
Liz Diaz says
Awesome! I’ve been wondering since I was just about to pick up another bottle. Thank you!
Karen says
You’re welcome! If you can maybe swatch it first just to make sure that you like it. It can look a little harsh unblended, but I’ve noticed if just use a wee tiny bit then it doesn’t look chalky at all. 🙂
