Urban Decay UD Gwen Stefani Collection blush Palette, Lipsticks, Lip Pencils as well as Brow Box: evaluation as well as observations
using the UD Gwen Stefani collection blush combination as well as Wonderland Lip Pencil as well as Lipstick
I might go on as well as on about my very fangirl crush on Gwen Stefani, however I believe you as well as I have already done that dance before, haven’t we?
Yes, I like her — like her look, like her music, like her makeup, like HER. (Note to self: think about dressing up infant woman as Gwen Stefani next Halloween, as well as try to discover some red plaid infant pants, ASAP.)
ANNONS
Part two of the metropolitan Decay UD Gwen Stefani collection drops on the internet tomorrow, as well as extremely soon at stores as well as counters, so get hold of your L.A.M.B. stilettos (the ones you can barely walk in however like anyways), as well as let’s do this.
The metropolitan Decay UD Gwen Stefani collection
Like she did with the eyeshadow combination from part one of the release, Gwen put together a choice of shades that she stated she’d want to have with her in her makeup bag. I’ve been using the lipsticks as well as blush combination for the past few days, including that two-day birthing class I believe I mentioned, as well as I believe the stunt infant was impressed…
Chillin’ with the frightening stunt baby
Er, well…maybe not.

So which of these are worth your time?
UD Gwen Stefani Collection blush combination ($45)
The UD Gwen Stefani blush Palette
How great is that packaging for the blush Palette? I certainly believe this is worth considering, however ideally for lighter lords as well as ladies.
In the combination you get two powder blushes (a shimmery great pink as well as a shimmery golden plum), three powder highlighters (a shimmery golden beige, shimmery peachy beige as well as an opalescent peachy pink) as well as a warm matte orangey brown powder bronzer, as well as while I like exactly how soft the powders feel as well as exactly how they last all the time long, a couple of the colors look — exactly how ought to I state this? — a tad wonky.
Packaging for the UD Gwen Stefani blush Palette
I truly can’t see the bronzer (it’s practically my precise skin tone), as well as the great pink blush looks a bit off… I believe it may be as well great for my warm skin tone.
Also, I don’t understand about the peachy pink opalescent highlighter. I believe it makes me look a bit as well much like an additional from Flashdance, which might be a great thing, I guess, if you’re rocking leg warmers as well as an ’80s vibe…

UD Gwen Stefani 714 Lip Pencil as well as Lipstick, together with the Lo-Fi Bronzer, simple blush as well as Angel Highlighter from the blush Palette
As for the other colors, those I feel I can wear, like the plum blush as well as the highlighters, I believe they’re rather flattering. The colors as well as structures are all lovely, however general with this palette, it’s a skin tone thang for me. You’ll get much more out of these six shades if you’re a lighter lovely.
UD Gwen Stefani Lipsticks ($18 each) as well as 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencils ($20 each)
The eight UD Lipsticks from the metropolitan Decay UD Gwen Stefani collection ($18 each)
As far as I’m aware, all of the Lipstick as well as Lip Pencil shades in the release are new, as well as if you autumn in like with one of the eight Lipsticks, you may likewise want to save space for one of the six creamy Lip Pencils (they’re silky smooth as well as long-wearing).
UD Gwen Stefanil 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencils ($20 each) from the left: Ex-Girlfriend, Firebird, 714, rock Stead, Wonderland as well as Phone Call
In signature UD form, the Lipsticks are all gloriously soft as well as creamy, which is one of the things I like many about the brand. This, however, implies that they requirement a bit help. Their uncanny creaminess implies that free-handing as well as applying them directly from the tube is difficult, so save yourself the trouble, as well as invest in a matching Lip Pencil where one is available.
UD Gwen Stefani Ex-Girlfriend Lip Pencil as well as Lipstick
I believe of the Lipsticks as belonging to two groups — the sheers as well as the opaques — as well as of the sheers (nude rosy pink Ex-Girlfriend, bright pink Phone phone call as well as deep berry Plaid), I believe the very best one is Ex-Girlfriend, hands down. I’m gonna wear mine down to the nub even though the bullet is damaged (no, seriously, they’re that creamy, so be careful), since it’s one of those truly easily accessible mid-toned nudes that everybody can wear.
The only thing is…be cautious if you currently have a flakyLäppsituation, eftersom den krämiga formeln fångar varje flake när mina läppar är mycket torra.
För närbild läppfönstren i läppstift, ta en titt på det här publiceringen här: Metropolitan Decay UD Gwen Stefani Lipsticks: Swatches!
När det gäller den ogenomskinliga läppstiftgruppen … är det typ av en meditation på röda.
Det finns en hel del av dem i olika färdiga (Matte, Satin och Cream), liksom det finns också en extremt “80s-esque Deep Fuchsia som heter Firebird Up i mixen, vilket kan tyckas vara av vänster fält, för Gwen förstås för att rocka röda läppar, men jag känner mig som att den passar här eftersom jag också har sett hennes slitagefärger som den tidigare.
Alla fem av de ogenomskinliga nyanser gäller jämnt, men standouts för mig är ljusröd matt 714 samt mörkrosa rödaktig krämunderland. De är de mest pigmenterade av gruppen och, som ex-girfriend, kan jag se dem fungera bra för både stora och varma hudtoner.
Ud Gwen Stefani Collection Panna Box i Bathwater Blondin ($ 45)
Ud Gwen Stefani panna låda i badvattensblondin
Panna-lådan, som innehåller två pulver, ett vax samt små browverktyg, är det enda jag inte bär på de födelseklasserna, liksom det där det är för blondiner.
Buuut, även om jag är så långt du kan få från blondin, har jag fortfarande använt det runt huset.
För sparkar.

OK, så jag har försökt UDs panna boxprodukter tidigare, liksom jag alltid har trott att du förväntas göra pulvret först för att fylla dina pannor, följs av vaxet för att ställa in dem.
Men jag försökte det den andra metoden runt (vax först, sedan pulver andra) med denna uppsättning och, um, wow. Färgen var säkert, men men börja med vaxet gjorde något intressant. Pulvret sitter mycket mer noggrant för håren … eller något sådant. Vid vilken typ av takt som helst såg mina pannor tjockare, liksom jag utnyttjade mindre produkt.
Ge det ett försök en av dessa dagar eftersom jag tror att du får lite extra bang för pengarna.

Allt sagt, jag tror att rodnad kombinationen är mest sannolikt mycket bättre för lättare lasses, men jag är allt om ex-flickvän, 714 liksom underlandet. De lippor som säkert har den speciella såsen.
