Urban Decay Electric Pressed Pigment Palette Review & Swatches

Hey guys! I'm so excited today because I am here to review Urban Decay's Electric Pressed Pigment Palette. This palette consists of 10 pressed pigments that are insanely pigmented and bright and a double ended brush. Before I want to start this review, I have to point out that a few of the shades are not intended for immediate eye area. Those colors include: Slowburn, Savage, Jilted, and Urban. The reason why you can't use them in your eye area is because they are some of the brighter colors. If you have sensitive eyes, I would not recommend using those colors on your eyelid, or around you eye. But if you do not have sensitive eyes, I believe it would be okay. So lets start reviewing the colors! Starting at the top left, Revolt is a bright silver shade. It has tiny silver specks of glitter which are prone to fall out. If you tap off your brush, it doesn't fall out too bad though. It's one of the rougher shades that are not as smooth, but it has good staying power. The next color is Gonzo which is a matte turquoise with a silver pearl finish. It is very soft and blends beautifully. Slowburn is next and it is an orange red matte, with almost a peachy pearl finish in the pan. On the eye, its a lot more matte and very soft. Next is Savage which is a very hot pink matte, but is one of the drier shades, but still blends okay. The last shade on the top is Fringe which is a metallic teal. It's a great shadow, but one of my least favorites. The first shade on the bottom is Chaos which is a cobalt matte blue. This shade is amazing. It is a little dry, but blends really well. It is definitely an uncommon shade. Jilted is next and it is a bright fuchsia which a blue shift to it. It is very soft and blends well. Next is Urban and it is a bright shimmery grape purple. It has pink undertones and looks really well with green eyes. Next to last is Freak which is a very light green with yellow gold shift. It is one of the softest colors and blends very very well. Finally we have Thrash which is a lime green matte with a gold hue. It is a little dry but still blends on the eye. If you would like to buy this palette, you can for $49 here. Now lets see some pictures!

2 Looks, 1 Palette - BH Cosmetics 88 Matte

Hey guys! I'm here with another 2 looks, 1 palette post and today I'm using the BH Cosmetics 88 Matte Palette. And let me just say, this palette is amazing. I've had it for 2 years and it has amazing quality and variety of colors. So with that said, let's get started!

The first look is going to be green! I love using green eyeshadows, even though I have green eyes. The first thing you want to do and prime your eye with an eyeprimer.

Then sweep a light green all over the lid. The colors I used will be posted after each look.

Then blend a darker green in the crease. And add a lighter green than used on the lid and add it in the inner corner.

And finally add liner and mascara.

And here are the colors that were used.

2nd Look! This one is going to be a smokey eye. Usually when I do a smokey eye, I grab for my Naked palette, but this one was fun to try! First prime yo' eyes girl. You know the drill.

Then pat a silver color to your lid, not going above the crease.

Now this is where it gets tricky. Put black shadow in your crease and BLEND. Blending is key to a smokey eye.

Then you need to put a medium brown color above your crease and blend, blend, blend. This step is the most important in my opinion. It makes the colors blend easier and just look better.

Then I smudged a black pencil liner in the outer corner on the upper lash line and then put it in my waterline and then I added mascara. I also added a white shadow in the inner corner and brow bone for a highlight. Now you're done!
