Write on, Urban Decay. 🙂
I love holding the pencils in your new 13-piece spring 2012 collection over a blank page in my sketchbook and pretending they’re art supplies.
Of course, I don’t actually touch the page with ’em, but I’m soooo tempted…
Coming soon to Sephora stores, Ulta, urbandecay.com and select Macy’s stores, the collection features eight 24/7 Concealer Pencils (with four new shades for darker damsels), three full-size 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils (sold individually) and two new Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Colors.
I don’t know what it is, but there’s something about the feel of a good pencil in my hands.
Here are swatches and pics! Reviews coming soon.
Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in Lovechild on the left (a pale pink) and Apocalypse on the right (a deep berry), $19 each
24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils from the left: Woodstock (a bright fuchsia pink shimmer with silver micro glitter), Perversion (a matte carbon black) and Demolition (a matte dark brown), $19 each

In other beauty news…
Chloé fragrance fans, here’s some cool news. The line’s launching a new scent for spring called L’Eau de Chloé, arriving mid-February. No word yet on the notes, but from this teaser video, it looks like something fresh and grassy.
Let’s hope it doesn’t make me want to pop a Zyrtec. 🙂
Fellow NARS nixies, the company just posted two more spring tidbits on their Facebook page, hot pink Mexican Rose Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil, and the Trio Eyeshadow in Douce France, with a shimmery icy pink, a shimmery rose-petal pink and a deep matte rose.
I’m not sure about the pink on my eyes (might make me look like I’ve been crying), but I’m all over that Lip Pencil!
And in Benefit news, the brand’s introducing a new liquid golden bronze highlighter called Sun Beam ($26) that looks very promising…
Here’s to hoping for sunshine in a bottle. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Cait says
Very excited! I love the concealer pencil, but the shade best for me right now is just a bit too pale. It’ll be nice to have more options!
Karen says
Hi Cait,
I’m gonna test those out tonight and tomorrow! Will you be using the concealer for your under-eye area?
Happy Friday!
Andryroxy says
I was hoping for a full size 24/7 Corrupt :/ DOD looks like my shade 😀 thank you always for the swatches.
Karen says
You’re welcome, Andryroxy. Have a great weekend!
Tiffany says
Those concealer pencils look very interesting and I’m so happy to see Perversion again… I love super black liners. Oh, and Mexican Rose?! I’m all over it. 😉
Karen says
You and me both! Can’t wait. 🙂
Isabel says
Hey Karen, do you know if Perversion and Woodstock are going to be permanent or only available for a limited time?
On another note, I really like how that NARS lip liner looks! I have one in Dolce Vita and the color, texture, and wear are all really nice.
AngelicMariposa })i({ says
On UD’s FB page they said perversion is now part of their permanent line…YAY!!
Karen says
Yup, yup! It’s a great color!
Karen says
Hi Isabel,
I’ve heard Perversion is perm; I’ll have to check on Woodstock!
Melodie says
W00t I’ve been waiting for a full-size Perversion for so long! I was really tempted by that anniversary pencil set but couldn’t justify it, since I had so many of the other colors already. I got the Electric travel-size set so I at least have it (and Woodstock!) in a mini, but it’ll be nice not having to worry about conserving it!
I’ll have to get over to Sephora to try out the concealers as well. I can’t remember why I never liked UD’s, maybe they didn’t have my color before (I am GHOSTLY pale. My boyfriend’s mother says I am the whitest Chinese person she has ever seen), so we’ll see!
Karen says
Hi Melodie,
That’s rad that you can pull off Woodstock. I have a rough time with pink liner. How do you usually rock it?
Melodie says
I usually do at least a thin line of black liner closest to the lashes first or else I find I look possessed D:
I actually bought it because it was the perfect shade for my costume for New York Comic Con. I went as Star Sapphire (from Green Lantern if you’re unfamiiar) and her costume is a really bright shade of magenta/fuchsia/pink. I used UD’s Super Saturated Lip Color in Crush for the lip. http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/294134_2236023503508_1335570046_32291357_1541062274_n.jpg
Chris25 says
I wish to high heaven they would release Perversion as a full sized pencil and make it permanent. Sheesh….
That NARS trio looks exciting!
Karen says
Well, it’s your lucky day, my friend, ’cause it’s perm!
blovetbeauty says
can’t wait to try out those lip pencils! looks super pigmented
Karen says
They are. The entire Super-Saturated line of pencils is great!
PinkGlitter says
Yay for full-size woodstocks and perversions! Can’t wait to pick them up! Lovechild lipcolor is really pretty too.
Karen says
It’s super pretty and very wearable! You’ll love it. 🙂
Let says
The Lovechild lipcolor looks really pretty. The NARS trio also looks interesting though I would probably hate the icy pink color.
Karen says
Yeah, I hear ya. Pink shadows can be hit or miss for me.
Lisa T says
Looks amazing! Have you heard anything about the dual-ended liners that were announced on Urban Decay’s twitter? Anyway, can’t want to see what else they have in store for us! (literally) lol
Karen says
I’ve heard about them, but I’m not sure when they come out. Will let you know when I know! 🙂
Tracy says
Yes! New 24/7 Eye Shadow pencil shades! I love them!
Karen says
Me too. What is your fave shade? I love Bourbon. Mildew is another fave.
Happy almost Saturday!
TJ says
I’m working my way through my 15th anniversary pencils and yet these are calling my name. Smh.
Karen says
I think you need to answer that call, TJ! 🙂
Quinctia says
Woooooodstock. I have nothing like that in my stash. Perversion, on the other hand, I can’t justify buying as I rarely use black liner and still have…three Zero pencils? Perhaps it’ll get included in a palette I like. 😀
Jennifer says
I love Demolition, I’m so glad it’s permanent now!
Karen B says
I sure do like the look of that NARS lip pencil 🙂
Nina says
the NARS Lip Pencils are uber gorgeous! and of course how do I even try to say no to UD 24×7 pencils?
Linda Halpern says
Love those colors! but is the staying power good – I hate all my eye makeup gone by noon.
corallista says
Apocalypse would make a gorgeous fall lip color! Looking forward to Benefit Sun beam even though I don’t get Benefit in my country 😛
Jasmin says
Love the sound of a bronzey highlighter! By the way would dod concealer pencil work for an nc42?
Victoria says
Looking forward to seeing Benefit’s Sun Beam as I adore their other liquid highlighters and tints!
Tina B says
Oh lord I am in love with Woodstock and Lovechild!! So beautiful. Looking forward to the review on those concealers too!
