Urban Decay Perversion Mascara Review

 Hello Again!
I am back with a review of the Urban Decay Perversion Mascara (€22 on Debenhams). I first got this product when I bought the Urban Decay Naked On The Run palette. I instantly fell in love with the thickness and length it gave my eyelashes. When I ran out of the 6mls, 6 months after purchasing it, I decided it was time to repurchase and get the full size this time. When it arrived I fell in love with the packaging and of course the product itself. This mascara is so smooth with no clumps and you can apply as many coats as you wish without it getting clumpy.
The picture above really does not give the size of the product justice. It is a very thick tube and was definitely much bigger than I thought it was going to be. The full size (12mls) is €22 on Debenhams and the travel size is €10. In my personal opinion the travel size is definitely worth picking up as I thought months was a decent amount of time for a mascara of that size to last.
As you can see below the Mascara not only lengthens but it also thickens the eyelashes leaving a clump free finish. 1 coat should be enough for a natural look but if you like your eyelashes slightly thicker 2 coats would definitely be perfect for you.
This is a mascara I would definitely repurchase over and over again. All of the Urban Decay product I own haven't disappointed me as of yet and I am continually growing to love the brand more and more after a purchase!
Have you tried any UD products? Got any favourites?
Until Monday

Andrea Russett Inspired Eye-Makeup Tutorial

Updated Post HERE!
Andrea Russett, a youtuber from Indiana, has the most incredible eye makeup on the internet(in my opinion)!
Since I started watching Andrea on youtube(link) I have adored her eye makeup and after messing around with some makeup, I thought I would do a tutorial for you guys.
I just want to mention that this is just inspired its not actually how Andrea does her makeup and as she hasnt done a tutorial we don't know how she goes about doing her eyes.
Lets get started!

Step 1:
I prime my eyes using the Maybelline Baby Skin. Honesty, I feel it works better than an Eye Primer.

Step 2:
Using the two lightest colours in my Lovable Luxuries palette(from Primark) I apply them as my base colour going up as far as my crease using the first brush in the picture above. A base colour preps your eyes and makes darker colours apply easier.

Step 3:
Using the angled brush at the far end start outlining the shape of the black eyeshadow. I treat this part as if I was doing a flick as you can see above.

Step 4:
Using the angled brush again I go from the line just made and work my way half way into the crease.

Step 5:

Using the same black and the two pink brushes in the middle fill in the space that was left on the eye previous. 

Step 6:
As you can see in the picture in step 5, the black is quite harsh. So I take my Real Techniques pointed foundation brush to blend it. At this point your eye should look like the above picture.

Step 7:
Add a black pencil eyeliner to your water line and a very thin liquid eyeliner line on your top lash line.

Step 8:
Add a good few coats of mascara to get Andreas long lashes. I use one coat of each mascara pictured above and the Clinique mascara is used on my lower lashes.

Finished:
Add some lipgloss and fix your eyebrows and you've got the Andrea Russett inspired Eye Makeup. This is perfect for Day or Night.

Hope that helps some of ya'll.
See you on Friday!
