Urban Decay UD The Fun Palette, and One Valuable Lesson Learned from My Cat

February 11th, 2011 by Karen 45 Comments

It’s useless to try to out-pose an international kitty supermodel, especially one with as much experience as Tabs.

But that didn’t stop me from trying today with the new Urban Decay The Fun Palette ($34).

First, me…

Now, Tabs…

tabs pimpin'

See! I tried to “sell” the colors I’m wearing from the palette, one of three new ones from Urban Decay for spring, but I’m just not kitty supermodel material.

I used Sin (a shimmery light pink) from the lash line to the brow bone, Baked (a shimmery bronze) in the crease and along my lower lash line, Woodstock (a shimmery hot pink) on the lid and Psychedelic Sister on my upper lash line.

Tabs is just a natural, I guess.

Other UD products featured in this look: Primer Potion in Original and Skyscraper Multi-Benefit Mascara on eyes; Afterglow Glide-On Cheek Tint in Quickie on cheeks; and Afterglow Glide-On Cheek Tint in Crush on lips

No matter how hard I try to smile with my eyes, Tabs always, ALWAYS steals the spotlight away. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Hey, good lookin’, whatcha got cookin’? 🙂 I’m getting ready to dart down to the mall to grab the tube of Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Boy I ordered (so excited!). Holla at me in the comments, and let me know what you’re up to today. I’ll be covertly blogging from my phone while I’m there.

    Tabs Baby’s such a pop star, in the good sense of the term. 🙂

    Those UD palettes are growing on me, they’re looking much better on you than in the pan!

    So GLAD the week’s over, been a tough one. Although my friend at work just got made permanent after 6 years of working her ass off, which was very exciting! 😀 Currently treating myself to fries from the chippies (finished work at 8pm) – have a great Friday night Karen!

    Purple & pink, one of my fave combos! Speaking of kitty models, Rock n Roll has commandered a pair of my stretchy workout pants. She’s sitting on them and refuses to let go of them. Maybe she should film her own workout DVD? And design a line of workout wear?

    What a pretty look, nice palette. I guess Tabs is the star, but the two of you together create magic 🙂

    You look so good in hot pink shadow! I remember coveting that Clarins palette you reviewed that had the navy and hot pink shadows, but I didn’t think I could wear it well enough for the price. 🙂

      Oh, I remember that one! That’s a great little palette… I need to bust it out one of these days again.

      So what’s the plan for the weekend?

    I like all those palettes, I think my fav is the feminine one, lots of nice neutrals! TGIF! I stopped by my MAC counter before work this morning and was able to haul a WW Pink Power MSF before they were all sold out. That’s the item that I wanted most, and I’m lovin it! The girl at the counter said the collection had been selling like crazy, so I”m glad I was able to scoop it up! No exciting plans for me this weekend, this girl needs to catch up on her homework!

      So, I gotta say that I looooove that MSF. I’m glad you were able to pick it up. Isn’t the compact crazy big?

        Yes! It’s the biggest makeup item I own now! Totally wish it had a mirror, then it would be perfect.

    Very cute look! I have Sin in the UD Ammo Shadow Box and I use it all the time. It’s almost worn down to the pan.

    And, FYI, I love Tabs. Do you think he’ll be my Valentine.

    Loving the look of these palettes. Maybe with some birthday money…..

    I went to the MAC counter today. I had to get SOMETHING from the Wonder Woman collection! I picked up the lip gloss in Emancipation. LOVE IT. It is going to look so good over all sorts of lipstick shades. Plus, just having a GINORMOUS lip gloss is so cool!
