Urban Decay Motherlode Vault & Naked 3

When I first saw the Urban Decay Motherlode Palette on Sephora, I was in shock and awe. It' weird just a few days ago I was thinking about their old vault and was looking where to purchase one to store my vintage UD shadows. 

The difference is that this one comes filled with 68 full sized Urban Decay Eyeshadows & and empty 4 pan travel palette. It is a sight to behold, definitely any UD or make up lover's dream. 

Although the Urban Decay Motherlode Vault is extravagant, so is the cost. It is currently for sale at urbandecay.com for $595, it is no longer available at sephora.com.  Even though the price is steep , the value is well over $1000. 

Since Urban Decay Eyeshadows are $18, it would cost $1,224 just for the shadows, not counting the lovely vault in comes in and the empty 4 pan palette that is included, so it's quite a deal.  

 Like me, most UD fans already have a lot of the shades in other palettes and previous purchases so dropping half a grand might be more of a lust than a must XD The holidays are coming up so this is definitely a great gift to give any make up addict. 


I myself definitely would not mind adding this to the collection! lol I found myself looking for excuses to buy it, but alas I found some restraint.




In other news Urban Decay Naked 3 coming up!! I'm sure many are anticipating this one, with the huge success of the previous Naked Palettes. The Naked 3 Palette will revolve around "Rose Neutrals" So keep an eye out for that.

Call of Duty Ghosts

Another Call of Duty coming out soon. When I first heard about Call of Duty Ghosts I wasn't that excited since I was still deep into Black Ops II.   It's a little more thrilling now, since it's coming out very very soon Nov 5 ,2013 (PS3 Version). I used to play on XBOX but for some reason got stuck on the PS3.  Although I won't be camping outside the store anytime soon, I  am very eager to receive my copy (Yay pre-ordering!!). I believe I got the Hardened edition, hmm maybe I should've got prestige.

Instead of Zombies like Black OPS II , COD Ghosts has an Alien Fighting Mode. Personally I prefer Zombies over aliens any day. Well Saiyans are aliens but thats a different story lol. When it comes to Supernatural or Extraterrestrial my interest would lean towards the former, but we shall see , COD  Ghosts might change my mind.

Ahhh and the PS4 is coming out, hmmm excited yet fearing change, am I the only one feeling like this?

SKINFOOD Honey Red Orange Mask Review

I got this a while back, it is an exfoliating scrub from Skinfood. When it first came out there were (i think) 6 types, each one featured key ingredients from around the world that are beneficial to the skin. There was the Acai Berry Mask, Acorn Jelly Mask, Ginseng Mask, Olive Mask, Chocolate Mask, & Honey Red Orange Mask. For some reason I can't find the chocolate mask on the skinfood site anymore but i bought that one too so I will review it soon too.

The packaging is too pretty and is top quality, like most skinfood products it is packaged to look like food. It's contained in a glass jar (see pics) which could pass as jam or honey. I know it looks & smells like it's good enough to eat but try not to.  Although I did get some on my lips accidentally and it had a sweet taste to it, don't eat it, and keep out of reach from children or unsuspecting people that might think it's edible.

VISS IPL Hair Removal & Skin Rejuvenation

UPDATE: I finally got the VISS and posted my review HERE

Permanent hair removal has always interested me, when I was 11... I shaved my arms O.O  I have no idea why I thought that was a good idea. Anyway the hair grew back with a vengeance and I have been thinking of ways to get it rid of it ever since! I have been thinking of getting professional electrolysis treatment, but it is costly and you need multiple treatments.  

A few years back I discovered at home IPL machines.  VISS IPL definitely caught my eye , I did my research and there has been  mixed reviews (mostly good). It wasn't enough to convince me to take the plunge since its about $600.


Then recently they came out with the
Advanced version which is 2x stronger, and now I am really tempted to get it.  It works best on light skin and dark hair. Visit the website to see if you are a candidate to use it.

Another reason VISS caught my eye is that they have a skin rejuvenation lamp cartridge. It is supposed to remove blemishes and encourage collagen production.

I am hoping to get it soon, I mean who doesn't want smooth hairless legs! I will definitely post reviews and follow ups once I get it!!
