Urban Decay XX Vice LTD Reloaded.

In case you missed my news a few weeks ago, Urban Decay is celebrating twenty years as a beauty brand! On top of that mega UD XX - 20 Years of Beauty with an Edge vault, the brand has launched a really special limited edition collection Urban Decay XX Vice LTD Reloaded eyeshadow palette. This chic palette features 20 (XX) shades of eyeshadow that spans UD’s entire 20 (XX) year history making this a true must have for the Urban Decay fan.

Urban Decay XX Vice LTD Reloaded includes a few new shades and several cult favorites from past palettes. It includes some of the brands earlier shades like Midnight Cowboy (one of my all-time faves), Acid Rain and UV-B, to some of their best-sellers in their current line-up.

The complete rundown of shades:

• Suspend - Greige-brown matte
• Oil Slick - Black matte with silver micro-glitter
• Roadstripe - Iridescent white with blue-violet shift
• Gash - Metallic brick red
• Midnight Cowboy - Pink champagne with shimmer with silver glitter
• 501 - Deep metallic blue with copper micro-glitter
• Shallow - Pale taupe-silver satin
• Laced - Pinky-taupe matte
• Hot Pants - Pearly medium pink
• Mildew - Deep metallic green shimmer
• Smog - Deep coppery bronze shimmer
• Misdemeanor - Deep olive green matte with green micro-shimmer
• Freakshow - Bright purple satin
• Asphyxia - Hyacinth shimmer with blue shift
• Acid Rain - Pale yellow-green shimmer with green shift
• Moonflower - Metallic rose-gold with gold micro-shimmer
• UV-B - Bright blue with violet shift
• Goldmiine - Bright Metallic Gold
• Twice Baked - Rich brown satin with gold micro-glitter
• Anonymous - Pale peachy cream matte

My favorites in the palette are Midnight Cowboy, Suspend, Roadstripe, Oil Slick, Swallow, Laced, Smog, Misdemeanor, Asphyxia, Anonymous and Twice Baked. I'm actually getting more use out of this palette than I thought. The shades are truly representative of the brand.

I'm always been a big fan of the Urban Decay eyeshadow formula. They are creamy soft, easy to apply and blend and last the day without caking or creasing. The secret to the shadow formula is the brands Pigment Infusion System™, the proprietary blend of ingredients. I can apply them with or without a primer and have them last the day. Of course, I use a primer, Urban Decay Primer Potion, my favorite, which makes the colors pop and lay down even more smoothly.

Speaking of Urban Decay Primer Potion, The Ultra Violet Edge, Urban Decay's global initiative to empower women is marking its first anniversary. With your help, last year they donated $528,000 to a variety or organizations that support women, including Women's Global Empowerment Fund. Purchase the specially formulated Eyeshadow Primer Potion Enigma, where 100% of the purchase price is donated to women's empowerment nonprofits by The Ultraviolet Edge.

Currently Obsessed: Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss for Spring 2016.

I think I have gone on and on about how much I love lipgloss. In fact, you can see all of my lipgloss posts here: Lipgloss Posts on Beautiful Makeup Search. To date, I have mentioned lipgloss over 200,000 times on the blog - that's a lot! The latest trend in lips is matte. So when a new, true glossy lipgloss arrives on the scene I get excited! I am very excited and quite obsessed with the newly relaunched Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss in its completely new reformulated and reimagined formula. It truly is the ultimate lip gloss offering a ton of shine, color and a whole lot more!

Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss features a new glossy formula that delivers high-watt shine in 18 new shades. What's equally exciting and makes this gloss different from the rest is that the formula is ultra-hydrating and plumping — it's really like no other gloss I've ever tried before. The secret to the formula is Dior's Hydra-Volume Complex with hyaluronic acid spheres that captures water into the lips for an instant plumping and deep moisturizing effect. This makes the lips look more plump while they feel moisturized. It does this while adding that super, high shine to the lips.

Dior didn't stop with the formula; there are three shine finishes to Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss. Inspired by Dior runway designs you will not only choose color, keep the finishes in mind: Sparkling, Watery, and Iridescent.

Sparkling - These are ultra-concentrated sparkly shades that adorn lips with saturated pearls to reflect light. They feel a bit gritty on the lips as they are filled with shimmer.

• Gems
• Spring Ball
• Princess
• Shock
• Fancy
• Diorosphere
• Ultradior
• Everdior

Watery - These are easy to wear glossy shades that are more, clean, see-through and saturated.

• Nude
• Tell Me Dior
• Cruise
• Paradise

Iridescent - These shades take on a new dimension as they are infused with contrasting or tone-on-tone pearls. These almost look different depending on the light you wear them in.

• Fantaisie
• Pearl
• Reflected
• Mirrored
• Diorama
• Cosmic

I love the glossy shine and beautiful shades in the Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss collection. The plumping effect is subtle in the Addict Ultra-Gloss, but it is definitely there and something that I notice and like over an average gloss. The hydration is felt and it lasts.

Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss sells for $30 each online at dior.com as well as your favorite department store makeup counters such as Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Dillard's.

IT Cosmetics™ IT’s Your Bye Bye Collection on QVC Today.

I've professed my love for IT Cosmetics™ and their products and their seemingly magical powers of complexion perfection for years now. So when they launch a bunch of new products as part of a QVC Today's Special Value, you know I am going to tell you about. Today is one of those days and it's a really good one. The IT Cosmetics™ IT’s Your Bye Bye Collection is a 5-piece collection and 4 of the products are brand new.

One of my very favorite makeup products hands down is the IT Cosmetics™ Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer. Everyone asks me why my undereye area always looks so smooth. I guess for my age, that's a compliment. I tell them it's because of this miracle concealer. Well, the star of this new collection is a new version of IT Cosmetics™ Bye Bye Under Eye and it's officially called Bye Bye Under Eye Illumination™ Full Coverage Anti-Aging Concealer. Phew! In a word this new concealer is HEAVENLY. It has promptly replaced my favorite (the original) because this new version now contains the brands signature Drops of Light Technology™. That means that this concealer not only blurs away every flaw, it also brightens the look of your skin with a soft luminosity that makes it look even better!  It's super long-wearing and lasts all day without creasing or cracking. If you are looking for a holy grail concealer, this one is it. Choose from Light, Medium, Tan or Deep. I use Medium which is quite light.

The rest of the IT Cosmetics™ IT’s Your Bye Bye Collection includes:

Bye Bye Pores Pressed™ Powder - This is the only product in the collection that is not new. It's a nice powder that helps optically blur the look of pores and fine lines with Bye Bye Pores Optical Blurring Technology.

Bye Bye Pores Blush™ Airbrush Brightening Blush
This sheer buildable, silk-infused blush gives you a naturally pretty flush of color that lasts.

Heavenly Skin™ Bye Bye Pores™ Powder Brush
This brush was custom-cut with a super plush, dome-shaped head to optically blur away the look of imperfections.

Bye Bye Makeup™ 3-in-1 Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm
This is not only a hydrating cleanser and makeup remover, this is an anti-aging and skin-softening serum that feels like pure luxury as it removes makeup and cleanses the skin. It is sort of addicting to use.
