Makeup Wars: The Best Waterproof Makeup

May 13, 2013 By Carleenp 12 Comments

This week, Makeup Wars looks at the best waterproof makeup. I don’t wear a lot of waterproof items, but I do have a few favorites that I particularly like to get out for hot and humid weather. Sweating off your makeup is no fun, so these items are great for avoiding that!

Here are my two favorites for eyes:

(1) Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes: Aqua Eyes are the ultimate in waterproof eyeliner. These liners come in a ton of shades, are soft and easy to apply, and then they stay put. I have swam with these on before and the color didn’t budge. However, they remove just fine with a good eye makeup remover such as Lancome Bifacial, or you can remove them super easy with an oil cleanser such as DHC Deep Cleansing Oil.

(2) Diorshow Waterproof mascara: Diorshow is one of my favorite mascaras and the waterproof version stay put and looks great. This is a cult classic mascara for reason!

Here is a new item that I really want to try!

(3) Tarte Aqualillies Eye and Cheek Palette: This new Tarte Aqualillies palette has been getting good reviews and claims to be waterproof. The color selection is also great for summer. I fully intend to order this and give it a try!

Urban Decay Glinda and Theodora Palettes

January 23, 2013 By Carleenp 2 Comments

When I ran the Disney Marathon and Half Marathon a few weeks ago, the new Disney Movie the Great and Powerful OZ was being heavily advertised. I had no idea that Urban Decay was also involved with new palettes inspired by Glinda and Theodora. I just ordered them, so I will have swatches and a review as soon as they arrive.

Now available are the Urban Decay Glinda Palette and the Urban Decay Theodora Palette. Each have 4 single shade eye shadow pots and 2 duo shade pots. As a bonus, they also have a travel size eye pencil and a lip color. What I love about these are that they are in the build your own palette cases, so you can pop the shades out and put others in. Each case has an OZ theme. I have to admit that I am a closet OZ fan. I loved the books when I was a kid!

Here is the Urban Decay Glinda Palette, which has the following shades: Tornado, Aura (iridescent white w/blue shift and iridescent white w/red shift), Magic, Illusion, Oz (gold shimmer w/gold glitter and silver shimmer w/silver glitter) and South. Also included is an eye pencil in deep eggplant and a lip color in Glinda.

Next is the Urban Decay Theodora Palette with eyeshadow shades of Broken, Beware, Bewitch, West, Spell (black satin w/green and gold shimmer and gold metallic w/tonal glitter), and Jealous (pale green pearl and dark green pearl). The eye pencil with this one is black and the lip color is Theodora.

I loved the looks of these so much that I ordered both of them. Theodora will be great for some of my everyday looks, and Glinda looks perfect for spring. I love the looks of the lip colors as well. Urban Decay made me pretty excited with these new sets!

As I noted, I will have swatches, a review and more photos as soon as the new palettes arrive.

For now, you can get the palettes at UrbanDecay.com and they should be at Sephora soon as well.
