Urban Decay Grind House



It's just too bad that our local department store has discontinued the sale of Urban Decay cosmetics many years ago. I've noticed this brand for years but never really paid much attention. At the time, I was not into make up and Urban Decay looked too edgy and expensive compared to drug store make up brands.

My first 24/7 eye liner pencil was zero. It is black and has a creamy formula. However, sharpening it using a regular sharpener didn't work - it created a lot of waste. Thus when I ordered for a few UD products online (bourbon eye liner and lip pencil in wallflower) , I decided to include the 'official' UD double barrel sharpener - the grind house. It includes a pick to remove the remnants of the shaved pencil and there's no product waste! At its new price of $9 it's very expensive but with little waste, my liners will have a longer life.

MUFE HD Powder


Learning to use make up helped me to feel and present my best. This has been my observation for the past year. As a professional, it does help to look presentable to clients and to myself - I feel more confident and worry less about my appearance. Does that make sense?

Anyway, one of my purchases that I don't regret is Make Up Forever's HD powder. It does work! This smooth finishing powder improves the appearance of skin especially in photographs. You only need very little for it to work. My full sized bottle has been with me for a year and it looks like I don't have to buy a new bottle in a couple of years.
