SPF Yourself: Urban Decay Urban Defense Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20.

SPF Yourself is a series of posts featuring products that contain a sunscreen, or SPF, in them. Not only sunscreens, but body lotions, facial moisturizers, eye creams, foundations, tinted moisturizers, bronzers, hair care and more will be featured. Only the best in beauty with SPF!

Have you found a favorite tinted moisturizer this summer yet? I don't think I have used a "real" foundation" since May, as tinted moisturizers are my bff when it is hot out, and I need less coverage because of all the self-tanning I do. One of the latest I have tired is this from Urban Decay.

Called Urban Defense, this tinted moisturizer offers light coverage with the much needed SPF 20. The moisturizer is light, doesn't feel like it would clog your pores, and like I said, offers a nice, sheer natural coverage to the skin.

I tested the shade Halo, which was a bit too light for my self tanned skin, but it did even it out a bit. With a bit of bronzer I was good to go for the day.

Urban Defense comes in four shades: Halo, Bodyguard, Bulletproof and Forcefield. They look like they would really cover a variety of skin tones with these shades.

Check out Urban Defense online at urbandecay.com or shop Beauty.com or inside Sephora to find the shade that compliments your skin best. The tube retails for $30.00

with an innovative, mini, straight-edged brush…it looks like a toothbrush!

The Revolution High Performance Lash Curler by Urban Decay.

Part of the new Urban Decay Fall 2011 line (look for complete collection highlights next week!), this one caught my attention right away. This eyelash curler is called The Revolution as it is just that - new and revolutionary.  It will revolutionize the way you curl you lashes.  Intrigued? I am too. Just look at this very medical looking beauty tool!

The Revolution High Performance Lash Curler is the cageless, pinch-free, crimp-free solution to creating beautifully curled lashes without living in fear of pinching and pulling the sensitive eye skin. I hate that, don't you? 

Featuring a sleek, cageless design, this lash curler curls in sections for more targeted, precise results. How great is it to just curl your entire row of lashes or just your outer lashes for a touch of flair? The cageless design also  makes it easy to provide a lasting, soft curl to those with any size and shape of eye and length of lash line. This really sounds great in each and every way.

Here is a little How-To from the pros at Urban Decay:

The Revolution High Performance Lash Curler is literally a revolutionary way to curl your lashes. For the best results, simply rest the curved section completely against your upper eyelid, making sure to squeeze gently for perfectly crimp-free, curled lashes. The Revolution is most effective when using your right hand to curl the lashes of your right eye and using your left hand to curl the lashes of your left eye.

THE REVOLUTION by Urban Decay sells for $20.00 and is available now at Sephora, ULTA, and select Macy’s. Of course it is also for sale online at Sephora.com, ulta.com, macys.com, beauty.com and urbandecay.com.
