Urban Decay Naked Vault Volume IV

Urban Decay Naked Vault Volume IV on Belle Belle Beauty

Just this last week, I was talking to a co-worker about the wonder of Naked palettes by Urban Decay. The original arrived on shelves years ago, but it still is a best-seller. And Urban Decay continues to introduce variations of it that sell like crazy. So if you have a serious makeup aficionado on your holiday, shopping list, allow me to suggest the Naked Vault Volume IV.

You couldn’t ask for a more comprehensive and wearable collection of eye shadows and lipsticks. The three neutral palettes (Naked, Naked2 and Naked3) has rich and velvety shadows and a pro-quality brush. Each palette has three coordinating Vice Lipsticks. These are seriously long wearing, packed with pigment.

Available at Nordstrom.

Urban Decay Blackmail Vice Lipstick Palette

I am back today with another palette from Ulta that will make you run to their 21 Day of Beauty event going on now through Saturday. While I don’t wear lipstick a ton, if I do, these days it is Urban Decay. Their formulas have so much pigment. They stay on, making them wearable for long evening events and days at the office. If you can’t commit to a tube of just one color, this palette has so many classics and favorites.

Urban Decay Blackmail Vice Lipstick Palette contains twelve shades that range from light to dark and in all six Urban Decay finishes. I love how the shades apply without tugging and really nourish lips. It almost goes on even better with a brush rather than tube. For the artists out there, the shades can be used together for contouring and layering.

The palette is slick and modern. They even made the wells with a little step so you can wipe excess product off the brush – brilliant! Lipstick devotees will love this for travel. Shades Included:

  • Sheer Shame (Sheer) berry
  • Firebird (Cream) deep fuchsia
  • Big Bang (Metallized) bright pink sparkle
  • Disobedient (Cream) medium pink
  • EZ (Cream) bright red-orange
  • 714 (Mega Matte) bright red
  • Vanished (Sheer) pale neutral nude
  • 1993 (Comfort Matte) medium brown
  • Ex-Girlfriend (Sheer Shimmer) nude-rose w/pink shimmer
  • Amulet (Metallized) metallic brick rose
  • Conspiracy (Metallized) plum-bronze shimmer
  • Blackmail (Comfort Matte) deep berry wine

Available at Ulta.

Urban Decay Matte Revolution Lipstick

I don’t even hesitate anymore to admitting to be a neutral lip lover. I favor chapstick and gloss over lipstick. But as the temps cool, I get in the mood for a little bold pick-me-up every once in a while. And no one does lipstick like Urban Decay.

This season, they are releasing a new non-drying matte lipstick that feels creamy on the lips and comes in a range of beautiful shades. The neutrals are a crowd pleaser and you can’t go wrong with the bold and velvety reds and purples.

One reason these are so stellar is Urban Decay’s proprietary Pigment Infusion System that lends to high pigment and nourishing oils. The formula contains Shea butter and a blend of avocado, olive, and babassu oils. Even my dry lips soak up the hydration and look smooth.

The sleek bullet design comes in black, distinguishing the matte formula. My favorite shades are Stark Naked and Bad Blood. Available at Sephora.

Urban Decay NAKED Smoky


 Urban Decay NAKED Smoky on Belle Belle Beauty

NAKED Smokey has been on shelves for a while now, but I would be remiss not to note this addition to the NAKED collection from Urban Decay. These palettes have been legendary. And I admit to owning all but the newest one. For some reason, this iteration hasn’t tempted me. But now after learning what I am about to share with you, I might just have to pick one up.

One reason I wasn’t initially drawn to Smokey is that I generally prefer lighter shades of eyeshadows. But this palette contains such rich bronzes, greys and taupes that it might add to a collection. Plus, the blacks would make wonderful eyeliners – how I use the darker shades in other NAKED palettes. The shades:

Also included are high-quality Urban Decay brushes. The double-ended brush has a Tapered Crease Brush to lay down shadow and Smoky Smudger Brush, perfect for tight-lining.

Available at Sephora.

Urban Decay Cosmetics The Ultimate Pair

This post is a follow up regarding ULTA‘s twice yearly 21 Days of Beauty ending this weekend. Head out there and shop!

I have been through a whole swath of red lipsticks. And while I prefer a neutral lip, if I do reach for a red Urban Decay F-Bomb would be right there at the top of my list. That’s why I am hoarding this duo despite my occasional bold lip. It is that good.

The full size F-Bomb Revolution Lipstick is paired with a creamy and waterproof liner. They are literally perfect shade matches. The pigment of both is insanely long-wearing. And the blue/cool hue makes your smile bright and white. So if you need an excuse to take advantage of ULTA’s event (more about that below), here is a last chance idea!
