Quick Review: Urban Decay Stardust Sparkling Lip Gloss

These glosses really got me excited (and curious) for a few reasons. 


  • I had never heard of them before (I didn't even know UD made glosses) 
  • I only paid $9 on Ulta's beauty steals
  • I wanted to see what else the brand had to offer besides amazing shadows 


$18 - Ulta

I ordered these online last minute as an impulse buy from Ulta.com as one of their beauty steals. I apparently couldn't pass them up for nine bucks. Which is a great deal, but I don't even like lipgloss that much. 

These glosses make your lips look plumper and fuller if thats what you're going for. 
These lip glosses have a slightly minty feel to them which I really enjoy, but these glosses are sticky. Adding a lip balm underneath really helps to minimize the sticky feel.

 The color Glitter Rock looks very intimidating, but in reality, its not at all. It gives your lips a slight tint if a pink purple color to your lips and is very wearable. 
The color Andromeda gives your lips a more gold toned look with a few pink sparkles. 
 The color Glitter Rock is prefect for wearing over an oxblood or burgundy lipstick for fall and Andromeda is amazing for placing over a nude.

Fall Candles!

A recent trip to Bath and Body Works has caused me to go a little bit candle crazy.





Pumpkin Caramel Latte:
This is the candle I am currently burning and I LOVE it. Out of all the pumpkin candles that they had at B&BW, this is the only one I liked. Shocking because I am obsessed with pumpkin.
The scent of this fills my room in a matter of minutes, due to the triple wicks, and I smells just like the name. This is a very sweet smelling candle which smells like a Caramel Latte from Starbucks with just the right amount of pumpkin, but it is definitely there.



These are the other candles that I purchased, but haven't yet to burn them.

Flannel: A very musky scent which smells of a mixture of cologne and a Christmas tree. I was weirded out that I actually loved the smell of this, but I do think I will save it for the colder months.

Marshmallow Fireside: This candle smells sweet and sugary, like a marshmallow, but also smells like a crackling fire on a cold night. I was so close to getting the Summertime S'Mores candle but I love the scent of this one a lot better. It smells less like burnt wood and more like a marshmallow.

Autumn
: The scent of this is very much like a crisp apple leaves falling. If you were to go apple picking, this is what that smells like. Spot on.

Leaves: This candle is more spicy and smells like cinnamon, a little twinge of apples and also a cool fall afternoon. This candle is pretty popular and I've heard so many people talk about it, but now I can see why.
