I just got my Urban Decay shipment that I ordered on Thursday night! It's been two years since I first (and last) ordered from them directly; they've definitely changed the packaging.
First order of business, the deluxe sample I received: the new Naked BB cream.
As you can see below, they do an awful lot of claims about the
health benefits of this product. Just like those overpriced minerals people. Because, you know, just because something contains some amount of arbitrary minerals, means that slathering it on your face and buying it and drinking it is going to cure your cancer and marital problems and everything...
The tube was adorable, though when I unscrewed the cap it looked worrisomely different from--more beige than I'm accustomed to--my usual foundation/BB cream shades.
However, I hadn't perused the pamphlet first, which claimed that it's a one-shade-fits-most product.
At first sight, I thought, 'Hmm...'. When I blended it out on my face, though, it was basically undetectable. Partially in the sense that, like other Western BB creams, it didn't provide that much coverage.
Now, the post-Cyber-Monday-'12
Deluxe Mystery Travel Bag, which I mentioned in
a previous blog post.
Contents, as you can see above:
- a translucent vinyl zippered pouch,
- a travel-sized Supercurl mascara,
- a mini 24/7 shadow pencil in Rehab (not an unpopular/hard-to-use colour, thankfully),
- a sample eyeshadow primer potion (UDPP) card,
- a full-sized Lip Junkie in Naked, and
- a travel-sized container of All Nighter spray (of which I purchased an XL size in this same shipment).
All in all, given the full-sized Lip Junkie--not bad for US$16, although I wouldn't call it a 'must-have' steal. If you need a larger sub-total to qualify for free shipping, though, this would be a good choice.

I also received my MUA shipment today, so I'll be posting swatches of some of those items later.
