MUFE Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick Review and Swatches

I purchased the Make Up Forever Rouge Artist Intense #15 Lipstick with my haul from the MUFE Pro Road Show.  I'm really loving Purple and Red lips for the fall so here's another purple lip color using MUFE Rouge Artist Intense #15 with...yep, you guessed right, M.A.C. All My Purple Life lipglass.

Here is the lipstick.  When I opened the box, my first response was "Whoa! That fragrance is strong!"  I hadn't even put it to my lips before I could smell it.  That's a big con as far as I'm concerned.  However, the versatility of being able to build the color from sheer to bold by applying more coats makes up for the strong fragrance.

The swatch at the top is sheer with 1 coat and the swatch at the bottom has 3 coats.  

Here's what the color looks like on my lips with 1 coat.  I like how the lipstick is shaped.  It allows you to line your lips without a lipliner. :-) This lipstick has quite a bit of shimmer to it so if you prefer mattes or creams, you may not like it.

This is me wearing a sheer coat.  

Here I am with the same lipstick just more coats. Wow! Can you believe this is the same lipstick.  The top two pics are without a flash.  The bottom is with a flash. 

Now with All My Purple Life added. On the top no flash. On the bottom with a flash. I like how I ended up with a bit of a blueish tint without the flash. Gives a pretty cool effect. :-)

  I really really like it.  I think I may wear these lips for Halloween! 

I haven't worn it out yet, but I've only heard great things about MUFE Rouge Artist Intense and how it wears for a long time. I'll give it a try tomorrow to find out.

Urban Decay 15yr Anniversary Eyeshadow Collection Swatches

There's been a lot of talk about the Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Eyeshadow Collection. I was so happy to have purchased it  last month.  You can see my initial thoughts about it here.  In the 1st post, I only swatched a few colors just to get an idea of how pigmented the colors are.  In this post I swiped all of them so you all could really see the colors.  In the next post I'll do a look using this palette.

Here's the outside of it.  It's so pretty. 

This is the inside
