Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick - Streak

You've probably heard in my past several posts talk about how much I have fallen in love with the Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks - and I have to 100% blame Brittany for that as she told me via twitter how amazing they are and how I need one! Well, I am definitely not disappointed at all. Thank you Brittany!

I purchased the shade Streak which is a lovely coral pink that is very pigmented and glides on so smoothy. I find that it is so wearable and really brightens up your whole appearance! The finish has a beautiful shine that is very obvious in the photo below. If you're curious about what makes these lipsticks so smooth and creamy - its the jojoba oil, avocado oil, cocoa butter and Shea butter! These Revolution lipsticks are packed with wonderful moisturizing properties. I find I get a solid 3 hour wear time with this lipstick before I have to reapply - which I'm totally okay with doing if it means pulling out the beautiful packaging in pubic!

The packaging is a very sturdy metal bullet with a beautiful gunmetal tint to it. When I first took the lipstick out of the packaging I must have been incredibly excited because I dropped it and I was so nervous to see a broken lipstick, but this wonderful packaging saved me!

There are so many colours from very wearable nudes, to a stunning mauves & plums shade, all the way up to fiery reds and bright pinks. You will definitely be able to find a shade perfect for you.

Do let me know what UD lipsticks you own as I'm itching to add another to my collection!

Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick - Streak

5 Minute Makeup

If you're anything like me you will probably try to stay in bed for as long as possible. This can include pressing snooze on your alarm at least 4 times. THEN once you decide to peel your eyes open you continue to check up on Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, you know - the usual morning social networking routine!

After a little while of rolling around in your bed really not wanting to get up...there comes that moment when you're thinking "oh my gosh I have 30 minutes to get ready and out the door!". I'm a night time shower-er (Did I just make up that bad english?) so my hair is usually okay the next morning with slight waves that a 2 minute run through with a straightener can it make a little less "bed head" like. As for the makeup..

I start off by applying my bareMinerals Matte Foundation (shade fair) using my Real Techniques Multi Task Brush if I want a lighter coverage or the Buffing Brush if I want a more full coverage look. This provides the perfect amount of coverage that I like while allowing my skin to show through. To add a little colour to my cheeks I've been using the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Exposed which provides a natural flush to my cheeks.

For my eyes I go really simply by applying the MAC Black Track Fluidline gel eyeliner with a small flick to create the illusion of thicker lashes and opened eyes. I then like to apply my Maybelline Falsies Mascara in Blackened-Brown to my upper and lower lashes. I apply a thin coat on my lower lashes to make my eyes appear more awake!

Lastly for my lips I have become OBSESSED with the Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in the shade Streak. Such a beautiful pink coral shade that really awakens the face and ties the whole simple look together. I really think you can wear the simplest makeup and the lipstick can make you look so put together.

Now it's time to get dressed, eat some breakfast, and you're out the door!
