Urban Decay Blogger Event!!!!

Well hi there peeps

I was kindly invited to the Urban Decay blogger event at Debenhams in Aberdeen and what a delightful time it was.  First of all we got a makeup demonstration using some of the lovely new glittery moondust eyeshadows.

Then it was time to peruse the products till our hearts content. We even got a sneak peek of the Ultra definition pressed finishing powder which isn't even out yet!!


I have to say that there are some seriously fabulous products from Urban Decay which I really would like. Including the naked skin beauty balm, concealer pencil and 24/7 glide on pencil in LSD. 


The fact that Urban Decay is cruelty free and not tested on animals is definitely a bonus for me. Keep your eyes peeled for that new finishing powder. Looks like it could be a winner!!!

My Urban Decay Wishlist... So much gorgeousness!




I recently went to a lovely Blogger event being held by Urban Decay (I blogged about it here) and I fell in love with so may of their products. I don't actually own anything from their brand which is totally shocking! I have a couple of dupes like the Heaven and Earth eyeshadow palette from MUA but I am dying to get my paws on the real thing.

There is a pretty large list of products I am after so I thought I would do a wish list and ask you beauties to help me decide what to get first!



Urban Decay Razor Sharp Finishing Powder | £21
This is suppose to be great at giving your skin an 'airbrushed' look especially for pictures. Seems like a great idea for blogger events when cameras are everywhere.. ahh!


Urban Decay Naked Skin | £27
Light diffusing foundation giving you a retouched appearance. One of the representatives from the brand had this on at the event I was at and it looked amazing! There are lots of colours to choose from too which is a plus.


Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencil in Junkie | £14
This is a really beautiful emerald green colour. I had it applied on me at the event and it really was lovely.


Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencil in Perversion | £14
Apparently these pencils last very well and I need a black eyeliner for my waterline that doesn't just smudge off and end up in a goopy mess. 


Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Original | £15
This is amazing. It really works. I got a sample of it in a goodybag and it really helps your eyeshadow last and enhances it completely. I have to get it soon!


Urban Decay Naked Palette | £36
It seems like I am the only blogger in the entire world who doesn't have this palette and I know I am really missing out because the colours are gorgeous! 


Urban Decay Baked Bronzer | £20
I am in the market for a new bronzer and this one looks so lovely.  Plus I love the natural look of baked products.



Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray | £19.50
This stuff is suppose to be really good at setting your make up and refreshing your face. I would really like to try it.



Urban Decay Brow Box Brown Sugar | £17
I am still looking for the perfect eye brown set and this one looks like a winner. Plus I love the little mirror it comes with in the box.

So beauties what do you think? Have you tried any of these products already?

BLOGGER EVENT | Debenhams Urban Decay and Ossie Clark


Well hi-diddle-eh-oh there! This is an exciting post for me because it is all about my first ever blogger event... whoop!

I was kinly invited to attend the event by Debenhams to show case their new designer Ossie Clark which was being sponsored by the delightfully gorgeous Urban Decay. I was nervous but the lovely Laura from Liparzzi asked me to meet her before hand and I decided I was going to drag my sister along too.  I have been so touched and inspired by the wonderful girls in the blogging community so far and the gals I met definitely did not disappoint. Laura is super gorgeous and very friendly, an aboslute sweet heart and made me feel really comfortable as soon as I met her.  I also met with lots more lovely bloggers who I will link to at the bottom of the post.

So off we went to Orchid, a lovely bar in Aberdeen, to get the event started. We were greeted with Prosecco which was lovely but I don't drink so they kindly gave me a lemonade in a champagne glass so I wouldn't feel left out! He he.

The event started and we were introduced to the PR for Debenhams and Louise Kennedy, area sales manager for Urban Decay. I have to say Louise is the best advert for the brand. I quizzed her on all her makeup and she was face full of Urban Decay, even her false eye lashes. I literally wanted everything she was wearing, her face looked flawless.

They then commenced with a make up tutorial using the naked products from Urban Decay including the Naked palette of course. It was really interesing for me hearing all about the products and why thery are so fabulous. They are not tested on animals at all to start with. Thumbs up to Urban Decay for that. There are also no fillers in any of their eyeshadows meaning they are very pigmented and will last a long time because you don't need a lot. Brill!

So on to all the girls getting their hands and fingers in to the make up for a good test. It was lovely feeling like you could really touch and feel the products without being spied on by a sales assistant. I loved the Naked Palettes (I must be the only blogger without one.. oh the shame) and this eyeshadow in Midnight Rodeo is a lovely taupey, shimmery, pale pinky colour. Great description Ash! You can see the actual colour reviewed here.







I also opted to have a little make up done by the friendly and very informative make up artist. She used one of the darker colours from the Naked palette in the crease of my eye and then the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencil in Clinic (a lovely emerald green) under my eye. By the way I am in love with those pencils now!! They are so gorgeous and last absolutely all day. Plus they are bringing out a load more shades in May!









Then here come the nibbles, a little chat and a wonder around looking at the clothes. Sadly the lighting was pretty bad and the pictures didn't do the clothes any justice so I have composed some images from the Ossie Clark website with my favourite pieces.







1. Chelsea Print Trousers £44
I love the idea of Pilazzo pants and the colour of these is lovely. I actually think they would be long enough for me too. Hooray!

2. Oxford Print Slim Leg trouser £34
I adore the print on these. It is so bright and fun. They also have a slimming stripe down the side. Plus they are half price in the sale on the Ossie Clark Website.. win! I also love the Bright blue military jacket here. Such a lovely bright colour.

3. Camden Printed Trousers £69
These looked like a lovely fit. The colour and print is quite subtle but very stylish. They would look really good with some black shoe boots.

So that was the night finished. My first event as a blogger over and I left with a little goody bag and a smile on my face.




Here is a list of all the bloggers I met. It was lovely to meet you all and I hope to see you again very soon :-)
