My Urban Decay Haul from UD Blackrock
22:28:00
Hello Lovelies,
Hopefully some of you will have seen my fab pictures up on
Facebook and Instagram of my haul from Urban decay Blackrock last week. I also
made a couple of videos on snapchat so be sure to follow me there @emmajcs.
I first discovered Urban Decay in Blackrock last year when
it launched and that’s when I first met Manager Meg & Doireann. I have had
my makeup done by Meg for an engagement party I attended and I loved it! I have
also been to one of their masterclasses and I just love everything about that
section in the Frascatti Shopping Centre Blackrock. Here are links to my two previous posts.

This is the look Meg created on me
I made my shopping list and popped into Meg yesterday to
stock up. We talked through all the products I wanted to buy and luckily all
were in stock. It so happened that some of the shades I was thinking for
myself, Meg changed as she knew they would suit my skin better. I am so happy
to have someone who can be so honest and direct you in the right way to a
flawless makeup. We bagged up all my goodies and Meg even had a little gift box
of samples waiting for me. I don’t know what I became more excited about, the
products I had been planning to buy for ages or the surprises that were inside
that glittering box of loveliness.
Complexion Primer
Potion- I got this one (instead of the brightening one) as I feel sometimes
the pore at the side of my nose can be noticeable so I’m really excited to try
this out. I have had a sample in the past and loved it so I’m really happy now
to have it in my collection for good. This retails at €27.
Naked Foundation in
the shade 3.5: The foundation is deffo a daytime, light fave of mine. I
have gone through a couple of bottle of it at this stage and some would say its
consistency is similar to that of MAC Face & Body (it’s watery) but you can
build it up and increase your coverage. I really like to apply this with a
beauty blender sponge, leave it settle while I do my brows and then go back and
add a second layer. For a stronger look, I will then set it with a mineral
foundation sometimes but I just love this foundation. I feel I look healthy,
fresh and without that disco ball grease effect that destroys my soul. This
retails at €34
Naked Skin Concealer
in the shade Light Warm: I am really happy with this shade, I have seen a
lot of bloggers using their naked concealer mixed in with other concealers so I
got this a slight shade deeper than the lightest so if needed I can add another
lighter shade for more coverage such as my Inglot Under Eye Concealer which I have
in the shade 91. This retails at €22.
Naked Flushed Palette
in the shade Strip: Again this was a colour change on the day and I have to
say, you just cannot tell for sure when looking at a computer screen how
suitable something is in real life, to me the Strip colouring was going to be too
dark but when we were discussing the shade of foundation I use going out, I
love the colouring in the strip palette. The bronzer colour will be perfect now
for a sunkissed look. This retails at €29.50.
Summer Collection- Afterglow
Blush in the shade Score: Oh these blushes!! What amazing colours I had to
hold myself back from buying more than one but the list had to be stuck to as I
do have a holiday to get to on Monday :) I chose the colour Score as it has a
hint of sparkle in it, it’s a coral type colour and it’s not like anything else
I have at the moment. I am a big peach, coral kinda bronze blusher girl so this
is absolutely perfect for the summer. I’m not an overly pink blush person
anymore so I needed to pick something I knew I’d wear and this one is just
perfect. Be sure to check out these blushers if you haven’t as they are
amazing!!This retails at €28.
Summer Collection-
High Colour LipGloss in the shade Kinky: Urban Decay and their names, some
are just not for the faint hearted at all but hey…everyone loves a good giggle.
I chose this colour as it’s a nude that’s extremely wearable. I love this
colour for the summer and although I am not a real gloss person I’m excited to
get wearing this on holiday when my hair is tied up and out of the way. This
retails at €19.
Revolution Lipstick
in the shade FBomb: Hands up who loves a red lippy? Well I do and I couldn’t
think of any better lippy to get than FBomb, it’s unreal! So bright, so red and
just amazing I am thrilled to add this to my red babies. I think on most nights
out I try to wear a bold lip so this will be rocked 100% from now on. This
retails at €19.
So there are all my purchases and I have loved playing with
them. As I have had samples of some of these products or had them used on my
skin just in different shades, the review of these is completely easy, I am
delighted with each and every one of these products. As I said the foundation
is one of my firm faves and everything else I have tried out on my face today
and loved. Debenhams had a lovely 10% off all beauty products which I also
think runs until Sunday so if you have a chance to treat yourself, pop buy an
Urban Decay counter and give yourself a little treat. All the prices I listed
here are the full price so take 10% off anything mentioned.
As I said at the start, Meg so kindly had a gift box ready
to go full of samples for me, I was thrilled to bits to see some of my faves in
travel size and they will all be coming on holidays with me. I felt completely
spoilt and it was such good timing as Meg had a few samples available for the
Beauty event which is coming up. Urban Decay do fantastic makeovers redeemable
against products so if you have an event coming up soon I highly recommend Meg
in UD Blackrock and you can see the teams work on Facebook HERE I think it’s
great the Blackrock crew have their own FB page and of course I was thrilled to
see my mug on it a while back showing off Meg’s work, I loved that gold glitter
look I had that night!
If you were to ask me
of any other Urban Decay products that you need in your life then the purple
lid setting spray is amazing, you can get it in travel size (which I always
buy) or full size. They retail at €12 & €29.
I really hope you enjoyed this post and you find it useful
if you are looking to invest in some Urban Decay goodies. There is another
option available to anyone living close to UD Blackrock, in July Meg and her
team will be hosting a 4 week training course at the section in Debenhams. The
course is starting Mid July and will run for 4 weeks, 2 hours over one evening.
The course will incorporate you being shown a look/ a technique for an hour and
then having the second hour to practice yourself. The amazing thing about this
course is the cost, It’s €200 to take the course BUT every single cent of that
is redeemable against product!!! You can literally buy and use all you need to
create beautiful makeup looks and get the training you need to create them
flawlessly. I am really hoping to be a part of the July course so I will be
writing a weekly blog post on all we do. Really hope to see some of you there.
If you have any questions for me on Urban Decay or for Meg
then please contact us through our facebook pages HERE and HERE.

What a haul!! I love everything, and totally agree that the purple top setting spray is the business. The travel size one lasts ages too! Enjoy you goodies! x
