Urban Decay Fall 2013 Launch Preview!

Hold the front page. Urban Decay have a brand new launch for Fall 2013, available in stores from August 5th 2013. 

Most excitingly (for me anyway, a true lippy fiend) they're releasing a whole new line of gorgeous, seriously sexy lipsticks. Say hello to the new Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks... The colours are AMAZING, the packaging is deliciously Urban Decay, they're super moisturising and genuinely long-lasting. I'm SO impressed. Here are the 20 new shades due to hit stores soon:

Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick Full Swatch (excluding online exclusives), £14 each

Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Shame, Venom and F-Bomb

How sexy is Shame, pictured above on the left? This deep sexy berry shade is UD founder Wende Zomnir's fave! 

My stand out shades from the range are: 

Bang - A fiery orange like no other, this is perfect if you like a knock-out pout. It's eye-catching and feisty. I love this for sun-drenched afternoons with extravagant cocktails.

69 - This red is perfect for those who usually fear the boldness of rouge. It has a slightly pink undertone which makes teeth look super white and warms the complexion.

Anarchy and Obsessed (used together) - These two shades blend together beautifully to create a super sweet petal pout. Anarchy is a really powerful, vibrant pink, while Obsessed is candy cute. Love!

Urban Decay have also cleverly released a range of corresponding lip liners '24/7 Glide on Lip Pencil', so you achieve the perfect finish. 

Top tip: For the intense colours (reds, darks) line the lip and shade in with the pencil before applying the lipstick, for lip colour that lasts all night long.

Urban have also brought out a totally transparent lip liner, Ozone, which can be used as a clever way to stop bleeding on any shade of lippy. Simply apply to the very edge of the lip to act as a sealant. 

Following on from the success of their Eyeshadow Primer Potion (their 3rd highest seller in the US) UD have revamped the existing formula, making it smoother and introducing anti-ageing ingredients. Guaranteed stay-put-ability with added extras. What more could you wish for?

To create a really flawless finish, UD have also brought out a finishing powder, available in light, medium light, medium, medium dark and dark. This super finely milled powder is pigment rich, so a little goes a long way. It has a slight shimmer as opposed to being totally matte, so it adds a slight luminosity without looking like an accident in Claire's Accessories has occurred. A handy product to reduce shine and minimise the appearance of those pesky pores. 

The best thing though is the light weight packaging. UD really understand the importance of having products which are handbag ready. 

Urban Decay Naked Skin Ultra Definition Pressed Finishing Powder, £21

Hooray! Urban Decay is bringing edgy Nail glamour back. Having discontinued their nail colour ranges a few years ago, Vice and Addiction will be the first colours available again. Hyper glossy, long wearing and undoubtedly Urban Decay, I love these sexy shades. 

Urban Decay Nail Colour in Vice and Addiction, £10 each

Urban Decay have been getting all glam scientist it would seem, as they are the first cosmetic brand to engineer a spray which contains the vitamin B6. They claim that it reduces pores, minimises redness and absorbs oil - simply spritz the face before applying make-up for a boost of antioxidants. I haven't had the chance to give this product a trial yet, but I'm rather intrigued!

Urban Decay B6 Spray, £21

And last but not least, Urban Decay have redesigned their brow package. It handily contains everything you need to create brilliant brows, yet is lightweight and compact, perfect for popping into the handbag. With a magnified mirror as well as a standard one, two angled brushes, a duo palette to create the perfect shade and a setting wax (infused aloe, beeswax and coconut) this little box has it all.

Urban Decay Brow Box, available in Brown Sugar or Honey Pot, £19

Skin Nourishment: Rituals Skincare Range

A perfectly primed base is essential for a radiant complexion. I've been using the Rituals skin care range for one month, and my complexion has visibly improved. If you're still using face wipes as your staple make-up remover, then you really need to have a re-think. They dry out your skin and don't penetrate deep enough into your pores to remove dirt, which will eventually cause bad blemishes.

For a glowing complexion, your skincare regime should contain:

Cleanser - Removes make-up and daily dirt whilst gently hydrating
Toner - Removes any excess cleanser to stop it from clogging up your pores
Serum -  Penetrates deeper into the skin layers due to the finer molecules. It's not essential to use a serum and a moisturiser, but a serum might be for you if your skin needs extra nourishment. Apply after toning but before moisturising. Some serums can dry out the skin, so should be followed by a moisturiser (after allowing to absorb into the skin for ten minutes)
Moisturiser - Rehydrates skin. Even if your skin is oily, you should be using a tailored moisturiser. Apply serum/moisturiser at night, as that's the optimum time for the skin to repair itself.

Mild Facial Cleansing Milk, £9.50, available from Rituals.com (pictured)
It's gentle and hydrating, perfect for slightly dry or irritable skin. It smells fresh and clean, without being overly fragranced. The consistency is lovely and smooth, it leaves skin soft and renewed.

Vitality and Energy Mask, £14.50, available from Rituals.com (pictured)
The perfect remedy for tired, dull skin. I lather this mask on after a heavy (and yes, slightly boozy) night out, for instant TLC and rehydration. This mask penetrates into the pores and lifts deep-seated dirt. Glorious!

Active Moisture Lotion, £22.50, available from Rituals.com (pictured)
A perfect daily moisturiser, it absorbs fast and leaves skin super soft. It smells beautiful, but it's not so heavily perfumed that it irritates the skin. It's a lovely, rich product.

Pssst! I also love the Rituals Foundation with pure minerals and natural amethyst, I wear it in the day time as it's a gorgeous light coverage and it doesn't leave the skin feeling clogged or greasy.
