Urban Decay Vice Palette for Fall 2012

(Photo Courtesy of Urban Decay)
I'm SO EXCITED (can you tell? lol) Urban Decay will be releasing a super new eyeshadow palette for Holiday 2012 called The Vice Palette. It is described as: 
an insanely gorgeous new palette that’s ALL about eyeshadow. All twenty new shades (yes, twenty!) were created exclusively for the palette—you’ve never seen these colors before because they are BRAND-freaking new...and you can’t find them anywhere else. With a range of mattes, shimmers, satins, neutrals and brights, there’s something for everyone.
The palette comes housed in a sleek purple soft-touch case topped with a sparkling jeweled UD icon, just as the Urban Decay 15th Anniversary palette was. 

The sophisticated case boasts a large mirror and a double-ended Good Karma Shadow and Crease Brush which is very generous of Urban Decay. 

Every eyeshadow contains Urban Decay’s brand new Pigment Infusion System , the proprietary blend of ingredients that gives every shade its velvety texture, rich color, serious staying power, and blendability. 

The Vice Eyeshadow palette includes (along with a double-ended shadow and Crease Brush) the following colors:

BUT... if you’re in the NYC area, they are having a one-day pre-sale at Sephora 5 Times Square between 3pm-9pm today, Friday September 14, 2012 and get your hands on it before everyone else! 

What are your first thoughts on this Urban Decay Vice Palette?

Love & Hip Hop: Karlie Redd Inspired Makeup Tutorial

I'll be the first to admit that I enjoy the "Love & Hip Hop" reality show on VH1. I do have my favs and others that just urk me to death (Stevie!). However, Karlie Redd has intrigued me during the show and I have been loving her makeup. I was inspired to do a makeup look that I think she consistently is rocking during most of the episodes.


She keeps it neutral with just a touch of a smokey eye. She also has a very contoured nose and jaw line. Her hair is also for the most part always long and bone straight.
