Urban Decay Eyeshadow Transforming Potion-review

Hi everyone,
These days colorful eyeliners are in fashion. girls love to apply different colorful liners on their eyes, sometimes glittery and sometimes matte but the problem is that for it we have to buy so many liners for that. Sometimes this seems too expensive because a bottle of liquid liner other than black is usually used only 3-5 times & in this way the rest of product goes waste. But we shouldn't be worried because there are something in the market which not only fulfills our craze of applying different colorful eyeliners but also saves our money from buying different colors liquid eyeliners. Today I'm going to write about such a product which is an essential part of my makeup box and this is Urban Decay Eyeshadow Transforming Potion.



Urban Decay Eyeshadow Transforming Potion


Urban Decay Eyeshadow Transforming Potion can transform any eyeshadow to a liquid liner or liquid shadow.

What Urban Decay says...

Transform any eyeshadow to a liquid liner or liquid shadow with our double-ended magic wand! Dip a brush - packed with Potion - into your favourite shadow to create rich, smudge-proof colour. Use the thin brush for precision lining, or the larger brush to sweep colour across your whole lid.

How to use

Take out the brush you wanna use and brush it over your eyeshadow you want to make a liquid liner. Use the thin brush for precision lining, or the larger brush to sweep colour across your whole lid.



In the mirror of my own experience

I have another eyeshadow transforming lotion from Illamasqua which I have reviewed sometime ago and this is another product for the same purpose. I found it so easy to transfer an eyeshadow in a liquid liner or shadow with this potion, I 'll share my experience with you but firstly examine some other part of this product.
Packaging

It comes in a purple packaging which is a recognized shade of Urban Decay. Inside the packaging, we find a purple bottle with two side brush , one side with a thin brush , you can read it on the bottle, this thin brush is for applying eyeliner and the other side the brush is a bit wide for applying shadow on the lid.  I found the eyeliner brush too thin and it's very difficult to apply an eyeliner  such a thin brush so I always use the wide brush for this purpose.

Texture

The liquid is quite runny in the bottle so one should be careful while using the potion. Apart from this always clean the brush after using the product before keeping the brush back in the bottle.



Application

The potion is really simple to use - I just brush it over the shadow a few times before applying it to my lids.It changes my favorite powder eyeshadow in a liquid liner very quickly. It works pretty good. It takes a bit of practice in the mixing process, to make your line show up really well. Make sure it's not too too runny or it will be a very light line of color.
Effect

I turned my Sleek Makeup  eye shadow into  an awesome sparkling brown liner that really gives my eyes a great  look. I've also tried it with some other  colors just to see what it would look like and I got it always perfect in transforming any eyeshadow into a liquid liner.

Lasting power

Whenever you turn your favorite color powder eyeshadow into a liquid one and apply on your lid as a liner or eye shadow, you should be free from the tension of reapplying the liner because it lasts almost all day long on the eyes.
  It provides long lasting power that pencil liners cant live up to. works great even with crappy drugstore shadows ive used.
Good points

Decent packaging, very travel friendly.
It can change your all favorite eyeshadows and loose pigments into a colorful eyeliners and the options are endless.
It works very quickly.
You get all the pigmentation of your eyeshadow changing into a liner.
It's very long lasting, can stay for whole day without reapplying.
It saves the money of buying more eyeliners so it's a good investment of your money.


Left- using UD transforming potion; Right- Original powder eyeshadow

 
Bad points

It's a bit expensive product but you can get it at a very cheap and unbelievable price on Cosmetic Revolution.
The texture of product is quite runny so one should be careful while using.
The brush, providing for eyeliner is too thin for lining on the lid.

Finally...

For me this works fantastically and even though it is not cheap, it's well worth it since it turns powder shadows into eyeliners and saves the money of buying more eyeliners. I love the wide  ends, wide can be used as a liquid eyeshadow application tool or to make a wide and even a thin line.the one thing i need everyday is eyeliner so i figured this would be a good investment..  I have tons of bright eyeshadows that I don't use anymore because I prefer a more natural look now, but I do like colorful liners sometimes - so this product is perfect for me.I'm very impressed with this product.

There are so many lovely online shops from where I can buy everything from my cosmetics to clothes and other  things. I think, this is the reason now online shopping is so popular in all over the world. Today we can purchase our favorite product from anywhere in the world so all bondage to purchase only from our country has finished now. Today I'm going to introduce you to another exciting website from where you can buy so many exciting brands from Urban Decay, Doir, Elizabeth Arden, Benefit , Clarins,Mac, L'Oreal, Rimmel and many more brands at a very reasonable cost.Check out this website- Cosmetic Revolution  

A few more words about Cosmetic Revolution

This is a family run business.
After opening shops on Amazon and on Ebay they finally decided to start their own website.

720 Drive me Nuts
It's a sort of a pink color with bronze undertones, with lot of sheers.

In the mirror of my own experience

I have used Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick before and always found them great. You get everything what you can expect from a good lipstick of a well-known brand at a very reasonable cost!!

Packaging

I have written about it's packaging before that I like its packaging.It's quite nice although not too impressive. It has an outer covering which comes in different colors as per the shade of your lip color. The inner portion is  shiny silver & looks beautiful. In the bottom of the shade name, number is written on a sticker which depicts the shade of your lipcolor. I love its inner portion which looks not only beautiful but very comfortable for using and can be kept any where but the outer part can't impressed me.

Texture

The texture is quite moisturizing. It glides very smoothly onto the lips.  It has shimmers in it but it looks pretty on the lips.



Pigmentation

It has an average pigmentation. You can get the right color just in three or four swipes.

Application

I don't apply a lip balm before applying the lipstick but if you have super dry lips, you should  apply a lip balm on your lips. Apart from it, if you want the right color on your lips,you need to apply three or four swipes for obtaining the exact color.

Effect

I love the effect though I don't love much glitters in my lipstick but it's not a deep color so a bit sparkles don't look awful. At first swipe the sheers look much but after three or four swipes you get the beauty of actual shades with sheers. I love the effect I get after applying it.

Lasting power

Not too impressive, it lasts for about 4 hours easily but after that the lipstick starts to fade and I don't like my faded lips with shimmers so I give a retouch after 4 hours if required.

Good points(Lipstick+website)

 The texture is smooth and moisturizing, feels very light weight on the lips after applying.
It gets applied very smoothly on the lips.
It has pleasant fruity smell.
Well pigmented.
Decently priced.

Many brands available!
Products reache very safely within a week.

Bad points

The packaging especially the outer cover looks not much impressive.
The lasting power is not impressive.

You get very few shades of Colorsensational lipsticks on cosmetic-revolution.

Finally...

I can say that it's a nice addition to my lipstick collection. The shade is pleasing for summers and can be worn with many outfits. Lovely texture, glides beautifully on to the lips, doesn't settle much into the fine lines. still neutral, as it is very sheer, but buildable.The light shimmers look pretty on the lips. Though the staying power is not very impressive but I must say that the quality is really great to see the price.



Rating

4/5

Recommendation

I'll surely want to recommend this lipstick to my readers because it's a nice color for summers. The shade is really very pretty to see the weather.

Availability

This shade is not currently available on Cosmetic revolution but they ship world wide. The products reach very safely and quickly so you can find many other famous brands here.
