My Urban Decay gift with purchase + reviews and swatches

I bought my Urban Decay Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Highlighter in Sin($26) directly from Urban Decay in March.

My freebies came with this purchase are:

  • Eyeshadow single in Mushroom(BD gift with any purchase)
  • Rapture Revolution Lipstick deluxe sample
  • Free shipping with UD Junkies membership

My total cost is $26 + tax + free shipping.

The Urban Decay Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Highlighter was released in February and I was eager to try it.

This highlighter:

  • Good quality
  • Very fine powder, goes on smooth and easy to blend
  • Long lasting
  • Very pigmented
  • Shimmers a bit

My tip of using: It’s so pigmented, just a gentle sweep is all I need, a little goes a long way. It does shimmer a bit so that it might emphasize your fine line and pores if you put on too much. It will make you glow!

My Free GiftEyeshadow Single in Mushroom

I love it! You can use it alone or pair with others. It’s like metallic grey with silver sheen. It’s nice to have if you want some smokey eyes!

My free gift – Rapture Revolution Lipstick sample

urban decay lipstick

Do you see the white coating on the lipstick?!

Here is the explanation from Urban Decay:

this white coating is ‘wax bloom’.  This is harmless and occurs when lipids or oils within the formula evaporate if this lipstick is stored for long periods of time.

the lipstick sample is safe for you to use once the wax bloom has been removed with a tissue.

I had a similar issue with an Estee Lauder lipstick sample and I posted about it awhile back. Urban Decay sent me another lipstick sample but with the same problem. That’s a bad batch!

To make me a happy customer, Urban Decay sent me the third free sample – an eyeshadow sample in Fireball!

My today’s Urban Decay Purchase

I just placed an order for the brow kit at Urban Decay after I saw these 2 free lipstick samples automatically showed up in my cart. BUT, after I placed my order, they are not on my order confirmation page!

These 2 free lovely lipstick will still show up automatically in your cart when you purchase anything at this moment.

I did a quick online chat with the customer service and was told that the lipsticks are sold out.:( However, they offered me a free setting spray + lipgloss, both deluxe sizes. Well, I am feeling a bit better after that.

My Smashbox gift with purchase + BB Eye Cream SPF 15 review

I bought the Smashbox BB Eye Cream SPF 15 about three months ago directly from Smashbox and have been using it almost every day since then. I like it!

The BB eye cream is $25. I took advantage of the $10 off $25 purchase offer and just paid $15. Plus, shipping is free on any purchase.

My Smashbox BB Eye Cream SPF 15 Review:

This is a lightweight and smooth eye concealer. Because of the lightweight texture, it gives you a lightweight coverage. If you have very dark under eye circle, you might not be satisfied with it and probably will put on too much and it will crease.

A little goes a long way, click the top twice is all I need.

Use the applicator as a transporter, dab or glide the cream on with it and then blend in with fingertips or brush.

To me, the best part of having this concealer is to reapply it during the day and especially before I am heading out when the sunshine is strong. It gives my eye area SPF protection, hydration, and a little bit highlight without messing up my makeup!

The shade I use is light.

smashbox bb eye concealer

I use this Real Techniques Foundation Brush from the Core Collection Set to blend Smashbox BB eye cream. It works wonderfully well! I don’t use this for foundation because it’s too small. But it’s such a great tool to apply concealer under my eyes, quick and easy! Seriously, they should change this brush name to concealer brush!
