The Ultimate Primer Set from Urban Decay.

The key to making your makeup last and looking beautiful all day is through the use of primers. Known for it's Primer Potion, and eyeshadow primer that I use daily, Urban Decay has expanded on this. Urban Decay now has a full line of primers available.

The best way to sample these primers is with their new Box of Potions. This box has all of Urban Decay's primers packaged together, and I can't think of a better way , or better value, to get on board.

This set contains:

  • Complexion Primer Potion - Brightening
  • Complexion Primer Potion - Pore Perfecting
  • Eyeshadow Primer Potion
  • Eyelash Primer Potion
  • Lip Primer Potion SPF 15

It has a value of $114, but is available in this set for just $65, exclusively at Sephora.

Urban Decay is in Search of the Perfect Man.

I don't know if you have seen these adorable Pocket Rocket lip glosses from Urban Decay yet, but if you haven't you need to. They are cute, cute, cute. With just a flick of the lipgloss wand, a man goes from fully clothed to almost fully undressed. Well, Urban Decay has a hit on their hands with this product as it is not only clever, it is a great gloss. They are making two more shades and are looking for the men to be featured on the cap.

So, the brand has developed an online contest to find the next two models for these new shades of which are scheduled to launch in Spring 2010! 

Customers will nominate their boyfriend, husband, friend, (friend-with-benefits, UPS man, favorite barista, coworker, hot neighbor... whoever), via their contest website: www.urbandecayguys.com  . They upload photos, tell us a little about the guy, and are given a link so that they can ask friends to vote. Then, visitors to the site vote for their favorite guy. At the end of the contest, Urban Decay will choose two winners from the top 10 to be the next models on the newest Pocket Rockets.

The winners (and the woman/man who nominated them) will be flown to California where the men will be professionally styled, shot and retouched by an expert team. They get the flight to California, a hotel stay, and some fun prizes: $500 in Urban Decay Cosmetics, $200 in Urban Outfitters gift cards and $200 in Apple gift cards. They will even throw in a few surprise prizes to the runner-ups.

How fun! If you nominate someone, let us know in the comments so I can post the entry here for even more help in voting.

How Have I Lived without Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion?

A few weeks back I mentioned how the award winning Urban Decay Primer Potion had a little overhaul and included a new, better wand. At that time, I also mentioned that I have never used UDPP. Silly me and HELLO - where have I been? Better yet, how have I lived without this product in my life this long?

Urban Decay Primer Potion is the must have eye shadow primer. It applies on the eyelid as a super soft and light liquid that dries almost instantly. Initially, it makes eyelids look better with a more even color with just a hint of pearl to it, almost looking instatnly more more alive. Next, it makes powder shadows adhere where you want them to, making the shadows feel super soft while overall being easier to apply. Lastly, it helps shadows look fresh with that just applied look, ALL DAY long -no creasing or smudging with no movement of eyeshadow or eyeliner at all.

If you have not tried this genie in a bottle yet, you need to. I have been using the Nude Eye Base, but it is also available in a newer Champagne shade, which I will be picking up as well. The potion is $17 for regular size or $22 for the XL version. Pick it up online at UrbanDecay, Sephora.com or Sephora stores.
