Hey everyone!
A massive, photo-heavy post today - I was in TK Maxx the other day and found this travel set of five Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils; the set is called Electric and it cost £12.99 rather than the RRP of £26. If you have a TK Maxx in your area maybe you should check and see if any are still around!
Eeeep. I kind of love the packaging!

| Junkie |
 |
| Ransom |
 |
| Radium |
 |
| Woodstock |
 |
| Perversion |
 |
| L-R: Junkie; Ransom; Radium; Woodstock; Perversion |
I also swatched Junkie and Radium next to two of my other blue/green eyeliners to see if I had anything similar and I don't think I do!
 |
| NARS Larger than Life Abbey Road; Urban Decay Radium; Urban Decay Junkie; Sephora Flashy Green |
Here are my eye swatches (told you there were a lot of photos!)
 |
| Top lashline Radium, bottom lashline Junkie. |
 |
| Top lashline Woodstock, bottom lashline Ransom |
 |
| Both lashlines Perversion smudged out |
Junkie is
beautiful, a deep teal with gold shimmer running throughout;
Ransom is a violet metallic;
Radium is a lovely metallic aqua;
Woodstock is a shiny hot pink and
Perversion is the blackest black.
Woodstock and
Ransom are slightly less opaque than the others.
Perversion is so inky and pigmented that it can be easy to go overboard panda-eyes, which is why in the eye swatch above it mussed it up so that it looked more deconstructed. You can get a very black, precise line with it though. Once past their smudgeable stage, these liners will. not. budge. Perversion especially - but they can be tough to remove, so you have fair warning. This does mean they will last all day/night, and they come in such fantastic colours!
The formula of all five is creamy, smooth and easy to apply without any tugging at the lid. They all wore on my waterline without irritation (and I wear contacts).
I'd love to have the full set of colours as I can see me using the ones I have often for the forseeable future. I think I may have found my HG black liner.
What do you think? Have you tried these liners? Which shade is your favourite?
Whoa! That was a lucky find! I'm defiantly going to be going off to TK Maxx and seeing if I can find anything as good as this! If you have time please come and check out my blog it would mean a lot to me! Thanks xxxx

Definitely go down and check it out! If they don't have these they might have other good stuff :) I was really surprised to see them, as I've never seen Urban Decay in my local TK Maxx before. I guess it's worth popping in every once in a while to check what they have.
DeleteWill do :)

I have the ransom~ and love it so much ^^
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, isn't it?

I need to try these eyeliners! I have always wanted to get one of those sets but never found them anywhere. I love the aqua and teal colours on you, they really flatter your skin tone and eye colour :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love them too. I think they have new ones that you can get online but I don't know where sells them in Australia :( Boo!

Love all these colors, so jealous you found this set! I only have a little mini sample of Whiskey that came with an Urban Decay order, they don't seem to last long on me but its so exciting that you think Perversion is going to be your Holy Grail eyeliner!
ReplyDeleteI love when I have that feeling that "this is the one" in terms of makeup haha :) xx
I have seen swatches of Whisky and love the colour! It's a shame it didn't work out so well for you :( it's weird cause I find them tough to remove.
DeleteI know! I could be wrong ( curse of the beauty blogger, always looking for new products) but I do love it!
I wish I could find a set like this!! Ugh so jealous! I love urban decay eye products!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Love the eyeliners so far, next thing to try is their shadows.

ReplyDeleteGood on you for finding them!
