Channel Your Inner Rock Goddess with Urban Decay Fall 2009

Become a rock star, or just look like one. Urban Decay has got you covered with some amazing fall releases sure to inspire you to go bold and daring as the months get chillier.

I know I am not alone in my desire to emulate Tom Cruise a la Risky Business. Sometimes you want to rock out, jam like nobody is watching, let loose, and go a little crazy. You put on your rocking makeup, lower the shades, and bust out your Guitar Hero game. You are a superstar, in your own mind at least.

Why not add a bit of style to your rockstar persona? Rock these amazing new items/colors from Urban Decay to complete the wardrobe for said gigs.

Urban Decay Oil Slick lipstick thrusts you directly into fall trends. Black lips are absolutely everywhere this fall. From runway, to walkway, lips are getting a makeover with various shades of black lipstick and lipgloss. Before you dismiss this as being 'too much', hear me out. Urban Decay expands on the trend by introducing Oil Slick lipstick, in their signature creamtastic formula. The lipstick is meant to be worn with other shades, as on its own it is a sheer grey with a slight glittering sheen.

I am a HUGE fan of the Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow formula, and this new shade knocks it out of the park. Frigid is a deep purple with strong blue duochrome. It applies like buttah, blends effortlessly, and creates instant drama wherever it goes.


One of the newer additions to the line, Urban Decay Ink for Eyes is a gel liner that applies like a dream. This gel glides effortlessly, with pigmentation as intense as its coffin-like packaging. This liner stays put with a vengeance.

Swatches: L-R Oil Slick, Demolition Ink, Frigid Deluxe Shadow
