Summer, summer, summertime! — even though it’s only the first day of spring.
If I can’t come back in my next life as wonder Woman, I’m sure as hell coming back as a vegas showgirl. ‘Cause it ain’t happening in this lifetime, that’s for damned sure. I’ve got the flexibility of a concrete pretzel and a high kick that barely clears the height of a footstool.
But you know what? even though I will (probably) never don a big feathered headdress and dance around in a sparkly outfit on a vegas stage, at least I can say that in this life, in the summer of 2014, I will have glittered and sparkled, and for that, I gotta give big ups to urban Decay.

The heavy metal loose Glitters in their new summer collection are so bling, so BAM! — that you sparkle all day and night like YOU FRICKIN’ indicate IT, MAN, when you wear them on your eyes.
They’re coming soon to UD counters but glittering now online with the rest of the summer collection.
Lots of fun things to play with here. along with the six loose glitters, there’s also a weightless liquid glitter glue (to keep your glitter in place), a crop of several new liners for smokey eye looks and two new polishes (there’s also a small polish kit not shown here).

Are you ready for a quick tour? Here, take my hand…
Heavy metal loose Glitters ($12 each)
The new urban Decay heavy metal loose Glitters ($12 each)
These are my favorite things in the launch! even if you don’t fancy yourself as a glitter gal/guy, you still may want to boogie down with these.
They’re just so fun and sparkly! — and guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
The flecks of glitter are bigger than the flecks in urban Decay’s heavy metal glitter Eyeliners, so I’m alerting you — brace yourself for major glitz.
Here’s the idea: you’re meant to apply a small amount of urban Decay’s clear Bondage makeup adhesive ($14) to your lids (or wherever else you’d like to wear loose glitter) first, and then pack your choice of glitters on top.
Once the glue dries, that glitter isn’t going anywhere.
I appreciate the sifter caps, too, which make it easy to regulate how much glitter I’m using. Don’t forget to remove the tape that covers the holes the first time you open it, though, because I didn’t see it at first and kept wondering, “Hmm… Why isn’t the glitter coming out?” I was just about to bite the sifter when I observed the tape, haha! #schoolforthegifted
Also, if you plan to line your eyes with one of the new liners in the launch, you may want to do your liner before applying your glitter.
Hvorfor? Oh, because I think it’s just a really, really big pain to apply liner on top of glitter. I’m just sayin’… save yourself the drama by lining first.

Is it just me, or do these two colors scream “sports team?”
I dunno… Don’t they look like sports team colors?
Both of these new summer polishes look like creams from far away, but secret shimmer shines through when you see them up close.
Super-Saturated Ultra intense waterproof cream eyeliner in Perversion ($22)
Urban Decay Super-Saturated Ultra intense waterproof cream eyeliner in Perversion ($22)
A girl can never have too lots of potted black eyeliners, am I right?
This one’s a little unusual in that it’s actually a cream, rather than a gel, and it feels lighter and fluffier than a lot of gels do to me. I think it’s also a little much easier to manipulate, especially if you want smudged, soft edges.
The formula stays “wet” for a good 10-15 minutes, too, so you have a lot time to play if you want to blend and buff.
I bet it would make a dazzling base for smokey eyes…

And to apply your liner (whether cream or gel), how about a synthetic angled brush?
Perversion’s bristles seem a little stubbier and denser than the bristles on the average angled brush, and that allows me to get razor sharp edges with it.
Kul.

24/7 velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil in Black velvet ($20)
From the left: 24/7 velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil in Black velvet ($20), All Nighter eyeliner in Perversion ($20), Bondage Weightless makeup Adhesive ($14) and Ink for Eyes in PerVersjon ($ 20)
Jeg har vært en fan av UDs vanlige glide-på øye blyanter, og jeg liker denne versjonen, fløyel, like mye. Myk og buttery som de andre blyantene i familien, blir Velvets opprettet for å smette og røyke ut. Black Velvet er ferdig er matt, men det er ikke en sterk mat.
“Svart fløyel og den lille guttenes smil. Svart fløyel med den sakte sørlige stilen … ”
Unnskyld! “Svart fløyel … hvis du vil.” Lol!
Alle nighter eyeliner i perversjon ($ 20)
Denne matt svart vri-up blyant har alvorlig hvorvidt. Det går ikke når det er på, og den tynne ideen kommer virkelig der nede i røttene mellom mine lashes. Flott for smokey øyne.
Bondage vektløs sminke lim ($ 14)
Når denne klare glitterlimet får tak i sparkly ting, slipper det ikke.
Blekk for øyne i vanntett Precision Eye Pen ($ 20)
Hyggelig og mørk og svart og skinnende. Men denne jet-svarte flytende linerens følelseside er litt på den stivere siden …

Urban Decay Nail Color i BANG (venstre) og kaos (høyre)
Ett ord: glitrende. Og jeg vet at Glitter er ikke for alle, men jeg gleder meg til å gjøre noen utseende med denne samlingen (og iført glitter til Trader Joe’s).
