Today I'll begin with the Urban Decay 24/7 Liner Superstash set. This was released before Christmas and is no doubt available at a reduced price. I bought mine from House of Fraser for £18.00
In the set you get 9 mini 24/7 pencil liners. Four of the shades were new for the set, but I believe that these four are now being released as full sized pencils. It's a really good way of trying out new liner colours if you've only ever stuck to black, brown or grey. They work out to £2.00 each, which to try out Urban Decay liners is a pretty good price!
The formula on these is just the same as the full sized ones. It's smooth, creamy, pigmented, it blends well until it sets and once it has set it never budges on me. I really do love these liners so I jumped at the chance to get this set.
The liners however, are really tiny! Smaller than the mini size that you get in the other sets, or comes with the palettes.
Full size pencil = 1.2g
Regular mini = 0.8g
Superstash mini = 0.5g
I've never managed to use up a full sized pencil anyway! But I'm sure I will use these minis up, mainly "Zero" I expect!
The design of these pencils is slightly different as well. They have clear caps, rather than the silver ones that the full sized and regular minis have, they also don't have the silver base to the pencil. It's the same colour as the rest of the pencil.
On to the swatches!
I actually took these pictures quite some time ago. They would have been better with a wider swatch so that I had room to label each swatch. Never mind, this is always a learning experience!
Left to right:
-Zero - matte, creamy black
-Oil Slick - black base with silver microglitter
-Corrupt - rich chocolate brown with sparkle
-Eldorado - bright, metallic yellow gold
-Graffiti - shimmery grass green with sparkle
-Binge - shimmering navy
-Ransom - bright purple shimmer, the least pigmented of the set
-Rockstar - shimmering burgundy wine
-Stash - olive green and my favourite from the set
These are going to be perfect for when I travel, I can take a selection of colours while barely using up any room in my travel bag.
Did you get any Urban Decay for Christmas? Bought any in the sales?
