Admittedly, I've never truly experienced Urban Decay until recently. Others would praise the line, but my scope was limited to the wildly popular Primer Potion. After being able to take these products away from the store element with elaborate merchandising, I was able to truly appreciate the high quality of Urban Decay's products.
The line has a lot of small details that can easily be overlooked if you become overwhelmed by the mass amounts of purple packaging and graffiti details. This Holiday season, Urban Decay has compiled some pretty amazing gifts for anyone on your list.
24/7 Eyeliner Sets $29
These eyeliners glide on like butter - they color payoff is amazing, and they blend well to boot. I like how the colors are grouped - VIP is for the bright color loving club kids and Velvet Rope is more muted earthy colors. The liners aren't full size - they're about as big as the palm of my hand - so they're perfect for your traveling gal pal.
Sustainable Shadow Box $36
I cannot say enough good things about Urban Decay's shadow formula - these are for the girl who likes serious color payoff - with or without the help of UDPP. Not only does the Sustainable Shadow box come with a brush and a travel Primer Potion, the packaging is created from Sustainable materials (like bamboo). Best-selling colors included are: YDK, Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Flipside, Flash, Grifter, Oil Slick, Uzi, Kiddie Pool, Half Baked and Twice Baked.
Book Of Shadows $45
I consider Book of Shadows to be the creme de la creme of eyeshadow palettes. Considering it's the most elaborate and largest palette Urban Decay has ever offered, I'd say $45 is one heck of steal. Not only does it include 8 best-selling shades, but it also houses 8 shades never offered before. The top features pop-up cutouts that remind me of pop-up cards my parents gave me when I was younger. Even though this palette is sold out online (I truly wish everyone could have one), it's worth the added effort to call local Sephora locations to get one of your very own. It's a Sephora exclusive, so get to calling!
Even better than palettes full of eyeshadow are the stocking stuffers!
Limited Edition Luxury Lipstick Cap $15
This cap, designed to replace the standard issue, plastic Urban Decay lids, adds a certain heft and glamour to any Urban Decay lipstick. After slipping this into her stocking, she won't know what shade to choose.
Stoned Poison Ring
The Stoned Poison ring brings a whole new meaning to lip gloss rings. Others may be cheaply constructed, but not this one. This ring means business (and by business I mean it's hefty), and comes with three shades of gloss, depending on your mood. What's not to love?
