Too Faced Neutral Eye Palette

It wasnt an easy feat to add the Urban Decay Naked Palette to my stash of eyeshadow palettes. The very popular palette sold out the instant it hit the shelves thanks to the amazing number of beautiful neutral eyeshadows it contained.

But if you’re the kind to use only a certain number of colours for daily wear, you’ll love the Too Faced Neutral Eye Palette. Perfect for a soft, natural sexy look this Natural Eye Palette is modeled after the first Too Faced Classic Smokey Palette. Bundled with three step-by-step instruction cards on how to create the looks you love, this eyeshadow palette is probably the next best alternative to the Urban Decay Naked Palette.

I know I already have the Naked Palette and the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette isn’t new in Sephora Singapore, but I’m currently going through an everything-brown phase so this palette might just be next on my to-buy list although I probably shouldnt. Quick! Somebody, stop me!

Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 3

Happy Birthday Sephora Singapore! Thank you for being one of my absolute favourite make up stores in Singapore. I’m so glad you opened up here in Singapore because you stock absolutely everything that a make up collector junkie like me could ever want.

It was just yesterday, literally, that I made my way down to Sephora Sinagpore get the Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 3. It also happened to be their very 1st birthday! I was really lucky I got my hands on one of these amazing palettes because there were loads of people in the store. Sephora Singapore had stocked so many pretty packages all wrapped in bows, perfect for gifts for Christmas and people were shopping themselves silly. But I was only there for one thing.

Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 3 Palette Swatch

I now have another eyeshadow palette to add to the obscene number of existing palettes I have in my make up bag. What did I tell you about the Book of Shadows being gorgeous? It was bigger than I expected too!

When I first set eyes on it, I was stunned. My heart skipped a beat and I couldnt believe that the Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 3 was within my reach. At the same time, however, I was taken aback by its size. It really is almost the size of a book! But since I missed the Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows, I didnt want to miss out on this one too. Another reason I HAD to have it was the fact NYC held so many great memories for me when I was there this year.

Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 3

I cannot help but gush at the lovely pop up that greets you when you first open the eyeshadow palette. If you’ve been to New York, you’ll realise they’ve included all the major landmarks of NYC. This is definitely the perfect memento to take home whether not you’ve been to New York. Central Park, Chrysler Building, Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty and the iconic yellow Taxi are conveniently packed into the Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 3 for you to take home and fall in love with New York City.

If you arent already enchanted by the City that Never Sleeps, let me tempt you with a travel sized bottle of Urban Decay’s best primer potion. Yes, the very same Urban Decay Primer Potion you see in the eyeshadow palette above.

To win, all you need to do is answer the question below in the comment section with your name and working email and you stand a chance to win the travel sized Urban Decay Primer Potion.

Where can you find the Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 3?

Contest closes Friday, 19th November 12 noon and is limited to Singapore addresses only.

Have I ever mentioned how much I prefer to stay at home during the festive holidays? It’s not that I dont like holidays see. But whenever the festive holidays come around, all the big make up brands push out new collections in pretty packaging concealing gorgeous colours. When their eyeshadow palettes are all fancy and pretty, that spells trouble for a make up junkie like me.

Just after I wrote about the Bobbi Brown Denim and Rose palette, I of course, had to get it. It wasnt easy as it was sold out when I first inquired, but I managed to land the gorgeous palette while out having dinner one day. And then you already heard about MAC newest A Tartan Tale Holiday Collection 2010. I hyperventilated when I saw them in stores. The collection is stunning.

So you see my point? I hate it when it comes to the holidays because my wallet cries desperately for help. But I must say that the beautiful eyeshadow palettes only adds to the visual spectacle that is my make up box. I swear they get prettier all the time, and the fact that eye shadows are part of the basic make up must have just gives me all the more excuse reason to buy them! :D

When the first Sephora Singapore store finally opened in Ngee Ann City Singapore, I’m sure many beauty addicts like me were ecstatic. THE ONE AND ONLY SEPHORA. The one that carries many of the brands we love and lust for: Too Faced, Bare Escentuals, Pop Beauty, Smashbox etc. But what they didnt have were the OTHER brands that we really wanted, brands like Urban Decay and NARS.

The second and much bigger Sephora outlet in ION didn’t manage to bring in these coveted brand either. But now, girls, after months of waiting, it’s time to pop the champagne.

URBAN DECAY IS FINALLY HERE IN SINGAPORE!


A peek at just a few of the items the counter carries.

Mention Urban Decay, and the ever popular Urban Decay Primer Potion comes to mind. Other than the original Primer Potion, two new stunning colours are now available for your picking: Eden, a wearable, tawny, matte shade and Sin, a shimmering champagne colour (all three seen in the picture, extreme left of middle row). Both gorgeous to wear on its own as a cream eyeshadow and of course, for use under your eyeshadows to make them stay longer. I couldn’t decide which of the two to get. I love shimmery shades but at the same time want a matt eyeshadow that’s ever so versatile. Anyone want to buy me them both? :D

The counter also stocks the to-die for 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils, Heavy Metal Glitter eyeliner and brilliant StarDust eyeshadow which again made my pocket cry out in vain. I poured over the items and couldn’t decide which one to get. Ohhhhh… The joy of shopping for your items and testing out the colours you like. The Oil Slick StarDust eyeshadow had my name written all over it. I couldn’t help but drool over the intense amount of glitter in this pigmented eyeshadow. The Heavy Metal Glitter eyeliner was another one with an obscene amount of glitter in it. Back during my escapade in the Philippines, I was lucky enough to have Miss Northern Ireland lend it to me. I tried it out and ended up looking like I had pretty fairy dust on my lids. Teehee.

If you’re like me and can’t decide what to get, perhaps the 24/7 sets with the 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil and Heavy Metal Glitter eyeliner will be an easy choice for you. The assortment of rainbow colours allow for some dramatic and fun looks. But me being me, I had difficulty picking just ONE set. They were all so pretty. I’m greedy, I WANTED THEM ALL!


Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in Electric

These creamy Glide-on eyeliners literally glide on your skin and stays soft for up to 30 seconds before drying up to a long-lasting finish. They are waterproof and WILL not BUDGE. It took a quite hard rub with my finger before the liner would smudge.

Because it’s the beginning of the month and the paycheck is already in, I think it might just be a good time to hop on down to Sephora right now. :P

It’s Earth Hour today! Remember to mark the time down people:

8.30pm to 9.30pm (local time)

About 9 hours before it’s Earth Hour! Counting down to when we all turn off our lights to help save the environment.

Do your little bit by turning off non-essential lights for just one hour today. But that’s not all you can do, you can turn off your air-conditioner and use the fan to show how much you care. Even better plan a block party with some friends and enjoy the natural evening breeze Mother Nature has to offer!

Turning off these appliances will help to conserve the Earth’s natural resources, reduce your carbon footprint and lead to a cleaner, healthier environment for our future. You are just one person but YOU can change the world by taking action.

It’s all in the name of going green. As for me, here’s my pledge to going green: a green Face of the Day!
