Urban Decay did ask me if I would be interested in creating a bronze look for their site in celebration of  "40 Ways to Get Addicted", the launch of 13 BRAND NEW 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils and since Urban Decay is one of my favorite brands of course I was honored to do so and flattered they thought to ask me! I was not compensated to create this video or use these products. The new liner colors were provided to create this look so I could do so in advance and have this video ready to go for you before the launch! I hope you enjoyed! Thanks so much for watching! : )

[Beauty]...Everybody's got a Dark Side.

(photo from hollyannaeree's Instagram)

"Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it..."

-Kelly Clarkson "Dark Side"

I posted this picture on my Instagram the other day and I thought I would let you know what I was wearing (Since I don't normally wear this type of makeup : )

Eyes: 

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette (Here)

Maybelline EyeStudio Quad in 55 Smokey Night 

Sugar Pill Loose Eyeshadow in Royal Sugar (Here)

Urban Decay Zero Eyeliner (Here)

(Urban Decay Perversion would be good too) 

1. Using Naked 2 as my blending color I applied it to my crease with a fluffy brush. 

2. Taking the Dark Blue from the Maybelline Smokey Night quad and using a patting motion I lightly packed the color onto my lid up to the crease (top of the eye socket) - being careful not to use too much of a sweeping motion because the fall out is RIDICULOUS. 

3. Again with my blending brush and no additional color lightly blurred the edges. 

4. With the same blending brush I lightly dipped into Crave and applied to the outer corner and blended. 

5. Taking a freshly sharpened ZERO (any black eyeliner will work) I applied to my waterline, tight line and also top lash line creating a bit of a cat eye. 

(I used a dark brown for my bottom lash line but used black in the waterline - it's not noticeable in photos but I think it makes a difference in person especially if you have naturally dark eyes like me. I usually use Urban Decay Whisky or Milani Liquifeye in Brown. You can see this done in many of my video tutorials.)

6. I applied Venus with a flat shader brush to my brow bone as well as the inner part of my eye as a highlight and blended down.

7. Grabbing some Sugar Pill Royal Sugar Loose Eyeshadow with my finger I dapped it on the center of my lid and also used it along the beginning part of my lower lash line (finishing off the tail of the lower lash line with the brown eyeliner and some of the Navy Blue color from the Maybelline palette) again being careful of fall out. 

8. Relined my top lash line with ZERO to cover any of the excess blue that may have gotten onto my original line.

9. Finished off with mascara (lashes are optional) 

(photo from hollyannaeree's Instagram) 

Sounds like a lot of work but since it's not very structured or precise it was actually rather quick.

Both my boyfriend and I really enjoyed this look! The depth of the two different blue colors and the subtle sparkle when the light hit just right was quite pretty.

 It's always fun to play around with something different. 

Don't be afraid to channel your inner D A R K  S I D E ; )

Talk to you soon!

Something Sweet from Etude House - Sweet Recipe Collection [Haul]

I am SOOO excited about this month's Pink Box c/o Etude House! Everything is so darn cute!! ^_^ 

I'm sure you can already pick out what my favoriteeee product is going to be. 

Now I just opened this box today so it's only going to be a haul, not a full review but I really wanted to get these pictures up for you as soon as possible so you could see a few items from the newest collection! 

First up...

Sweet Recipe Baby Choux Base - Makeup Base/Primer

SPF 25 PA++

This is suppose to help your skin retain moisture with a "fluffy" finish. It also is suppose to have "silky control powder" to control sebum and leave skin "flawlessly soft". 

I haven't tried this on my face yet but I have played around with it on the back on my hand a bit. It has almost a creamy frosting consistency and it does in fact feel kind of fluffy. When you rub it in it is very light and smooth feeling with a soft (almost apricot?) scent that dries to a powdery finish. I am curious to see how this product will react with my skin. *fingers crossed*

Next we have the - Sweet Recipe Sliced Cake Puffs

As cute as these are...

They're just makeup sponges. : \ 

Okay as a bonus but I wouldn't go out of my way for them. 

(I would have rather gotten the eye shadows from this collection. It says it was suppose to be included but it wasn't in my kit.)

Then we have...

Sweet Recipe Dear My Jelly Lips-talk 

in JPK002

"Vibrant, shiny, jelly textured lipstick that supplies juicy shine with translucent colors."

It is also suppose to have 5 different kinds of plant extract to help soften lips. 

Cutesy packaging. We expect nothing less from Etude House!

I love the little heart design.

Jelly color that can definitely be built up quickly. 

It's pigmented while still being a watery looking, high gloss lipstick. 

The shine is unreal! 

Overall this wasn't bad but for me the texture was a killer. It feels very greasy and thin which I'm not a fan of personally. If you like light weight lipsticks though this may be a good candiate. (I wish it felt more like a Dior Addict Lipstick)

Other than that it has almost a slight floral scent but kind of tastes like faint jelly beans when applied to the lips. (Not sure if that was intentional or if I just saw the package, couldn't put my finger on the flavor and took to suggestion. lol.) Not in love with it though, I probably would not recommend this.

Also this color stained my lips! 

And lastly...

My FAVORITE Part! 

HOW CUTE ARE THESE NAIL POLISHES! 

OMG >_<

Sweet Recipe Ice Cream Nails - Glitter & Stone Infused Pastel Nail Colors 

Adorable little ice cream cones! 

And the polishes actually kind of look like ice cream ^_^

Mint chocolate chip anyone? 

I haven't tried any of the colors yet but next time I paint my nails I will post swatches if you all are interested! Let me know in the comments : ) 

They look promising!

Available at Etude House stores around the world and for those of us in countries without EH stores :( products can be purchased from http://english.gmarket.co.kr/

------------

Hope you all enjoyed this quick peek into the latest Etude House products! I can't wait to test them out further : )

I will not be mentioning any Etude House products in my Hits & Misses videos because they are not super easily accessible which seems to frustrate people so if you are curious about any particular product let me know in the comments and I will see if I can elaborate further in a future post for you. 

Happy Monday to you all! I should also have some fashion posts up this week! Yay! 

So until then have a great day, thanks for reading and I will try to see you back here tomorrow.
