So, what began my love affair with make up? I'd like you to meet Urban Decay Face Case "1st Date to Pin-Up".
Way, way back in the day Boots used to have a shop called Pure Beauty. At this shop you could buy a huge array of different make up brands, ones you wouldn't normally see in Boots. It was at the store in Covent Gardens that I first laid eyes on Urban Decay. The store is long gone, but the Face Case is still going strong.
I wish Urban Decay still made these, the lovely palettes in metal, not the card ones. These were pretty much the perfect conception of a palette.
Before this, I used a few Rimmel products. Make up wasn't anything special, just something I wore when I was going out. But then this appeared in my life and I've been hooked ever since. I actually bought 2 on that trip (the Rockstar one) but this is the one that's taken the most abuse.
I had one of these but god knows where it went to :)

Wow, what a cool pallet. It is nice to know that Urban Decay’s packaging once made sense… I wish they would return to their roots! I love my Deluxe pallet, but I hate the messy felt and paper combo…
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad you 'stole' this tag lol - it never really caught on whan I started it ages ago!
ReplyDeleteWierdly, I bought my sister one of these palettes a few years back , and I believe that's still going strong too!
Thanks for doing this xxx
@Elizabeth - Thankyou for coming over!!
ReplyDelete@7hereshegoes - Oh I wish they still did palettes like this! They last forever.
@mizzworthy - No problem!! I thought it was a fun tag!
I have Rockstar!! One of the ONLY EVER UD palettes not to have midnight bloody cowboy in it!!! I too prefer the face cases, but it seems they are not 'environmentally friendly' so I suppose it's for the best...
ReplyDeleteThat was a blast from the past, I remember that Covent Garden Boots the way it once was!
This kicked off my makeup addiction too. I got my first one for my 18th birthday, and used my birthday money to buy the rest of the them (I think there were four orginally?). I had it til last year, when it smashed to smithereens on holiday.
ReplyDeleteI found out this week that UD are discontinuing the Skyscraper mascara which I have religiously used since I was 17 :(
