Urban Decay's "The Urban Bride Kit"


Urban Decay’s “The Urban Bride Kit” was created in collaboration with Universal Pictures to promote ‘Bridesmaids’, a hilarious comedy about a crazy group of bridesmaids starring funny lady Kristen Wiig. This set of bridal beautifiers is perfect for the bridezilla in your life or any wedding party primadonna—mother-in-laws need the spotlight too!
We’re loving the pearly white gift box embossed with foil lace and floral textures—you can store your bridal keepsakes and memories of matrimony in the packaging even after you’ve used the products.

Urban Decay The Urban Bride Kit, $42

What UD Says -

“The products in this keepsake box (a perfect gift) will keep her glowing - down the aisle, in pictures, on the dance floor and when the real party starts. Bridesmaids will love it too!

If you’re looking for something “new” to give your favorite bride, lavish her with this decadent gift-ready box of travel-sized products designed to keep her looking exquisite all day (and night, wink wink).”
Razor Sharp Ultra-Definition Finishing Powder (3.75 g mini)—Perfect for flash photography.
Eyeshadow Primer Potion (full size)—A eye priming staple in our beauty arsenal.
Supercurl Curling Mascara (travel size)—For vavavoom lashes.
Lip Junkie Lip Gloss in Midnight Cowboy (travel size 3.6 ml)—A little too glittery for us (will make lips look super shiny in pictures), but this gloss has a gorgeous texture!
All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray (15 ml spray bottle)—An essential heat- and sweat-proof setting spray.
Marshmallow Sparkling Lickable Body Powder (travel size 10g)—Edible body shimmer for the wedding night—need we say more?




Urban Bride is now available at ULTA and select Macy’s. Or, online at ulta.com, Sephora.com and urbandecay.com. ‘Bridesmaids’ premieres in theaters May 13.

M.A.C. Cosmetics Fix +

M.A.C. Fix + is one of my favorite M.A.C. products.  Fix + is an aqua-spritz of vitamin and minerals, infused with a calm-the-skin blend of green tea, chamomile, cucumber, topped off with the fresh, natural, energizing scent of Sugi. Adds radiance, finishes makeup. Spray it on. Skin drinks it up!  Tired of all those makeup smudges? Well there is a way to set your makeup to minimize the smudge while also refreshing your face.  You can use this product to give your makeup that fresh finish look.  Use over your powder for a "soft set finish".  I even use this product when i apply cream and liquid foundation.  I apply the foundation to the skin and blend it in with a cosmetic sponge and then i take my M.A.C.  #187 Duo Fibre Stippling brush and i spray it and in circular motion i blend the product into the skin.  When i say this is an excellent product!!!! Try it out you won't be disappointed!!!
