Big Surprises come in Fed-Ex packages

I love when I come home and there's a Fed-Ex box at my door. Especially when I'm not expecting it.
By a curious twist of fate, I received a nice, fat Federal Express box the other day and I was all tingly inside wondering what was inside. I ripped open the tab, you know the ones that never really work and you have to fight it for a few seconds before you actually open the box to retrieve the treasure inside - but I digress.
I reached in and pulled out a plethora of product from Urban Decay. Now I must confess I was a teensy bit disappointed, not being a huge fan of Urban Decay. Well, I was soon eating my words of dismay.
In the few short minutes it took me to rip open the packaging and start applying, I fell in love. I fell in love with the eyeshadows, pencils and eye primer from Urban Decay. I shocked myself.
This lovely gift I receive was actually a sampling of gifts for the holidays. Gifts that I would be keeping for myself...for the most part.
I do think I will give the Stoned Poison Ring to my goddaughter.
But the items that have immediately become staples in my daily makeup routine are the 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil sets and the Sustainable Shadow Box complete with Eyeshadow Primer Potion.
I'm really, really picky about eye pencils. Most of them are hard and scrape the heck out of the sensitive eyelid, but these glide on as if they were pastels. And the colors range from smoky and sexy to vibrant and neon. Fun!
Combined with the best-seller colors that are in the Sustainable Shadow Box and there's a different look for every day of the week, or every hour of the day. The box is cool too because it is made of bamboo and the insert is made of recyclable paper. The whole package is practically perfect.
And finally, the Eyeshadow Primer Potion really turned my head, especially because heretofore I believed that primer such as this was a huge waste of money. Just an extraneous step in my already rushed makeup agenda. But noooooo. This stuff is great and really works. My eye makeup stayed on and in place all day. Gotta love that.
And I do. Just as much as I love my super surprise from Urban Decay.
