Urban Decay Cowboy Junkie Set

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Since I am a proud vegetarian, I normally don't celebrate this holiday but when I find a company that I love and give thanks for their great products and is cruelty-free, they make my cut on Thanksgiving Day. And Urban Decay fits both of these criteria for me. Urban Decay's Midnight Cowboy eye shadow shade is long time favorite of mine and has helped me create some smashing makeup looks over the past through years.

This season, Urban Decay released the Cowboy Junkie Set, a palette of four eye shadows based around the top selling shade, an eye liner to complete all the shadows, and a lip gloss boasting the same Midnight Cowboy shade. The Urban Decay website states the following about the new palette, "Let Midnight Cowboy and friends tempt you out way past your bedtime! This giftable palette is packed with sparkle and holds everything you need to look gorgeous until the sun comes up."

Eye Shadow - This is the product we were born to make - our best-seller! Professionals, celebrities, and makeup junkies swoon for our wide array of shades. Each one is pigment-rich: we load the shadow with color, and add very few binders (the stuff that holds shadow together), resulting in a beautiful color that blends easily and lasts. Lots of finishes to suit your mood: sparkle, shimmer, duotone, or un-sparkly satin. Our subway token compact comes complete with a window (see your shade without opening), and snaps shut with one hand - no more lost lids. All Eye Shadows can be used wet for more intense color, try them as a liner! Dust sparkly shades on cheekbones and shoulders with our Powder Brush for unearthly shimmer.

- Midnight Cowboy - pink champagne with lots of silver glitter

- Midnight Cowboy Rides Again - golden beige with bronze, gold, and silver glitter

- Midnight Cowgirl - subtle golden beige with gold glitter

- Romp - deep silvery grape

24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil - The best Eye Pencil, ever, ever, ever! Never before has a pencil this creamy and brillant been waterproof, too. Velvety-soft, this never-before-see formula stays soft and creamy for blending (about 30 seconds), then dries down to a long-lasting finish that WILL NOT budge. Line eyes with a hint of color or go for the full artistic, multi-hued effect with the wide selection of lush tropical hues, deep metallics, and unusually vibrant neutrals. Incredible with Urban Decay Eye Shadows! Created with 50% moisturizing ingredients suspended in a sophisticated waterproof formula, 24/7 Eye Pencils offer long-lasting color, and a dreamy, creamy feel when applied. With Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E, and Cottonseed Oil. 24/7 Eye Pencils are ideal for lining inner lids because the waterproof formula stays put. Just apply, try not to blink for a sec, and you've got immovable liner.

- Whiskey - dark brown

Lip Junkie Lip Gloss - You want a super-shiny gloss, but can't stand the sticky texture, right? Wait till you feel the soft, cushiony texture of this gloss! Lip Junkie stays put longer than other glosses, but never feels gummy or gooey. It comes in a range of pretty amazing shades (if we do say so ourselves), and the color payout is amazing. Take your pick from sheer pretty neutrals, kick-ass brights, or glimmering near-black. And the flavor? Think yummy wedding mints... a sweet mint with a zing that makes breath feel fresh.

- Midnight Cowboy - sheer nude sparkle

Love It. Want It. Need It. Can't Live Without It. I just recommend using the Primer Potion with these eye shadow shades because the glitter in the formula causes a ton of fall out. Also, pat them on instead of using a brush, you will be able to conrol fallout much easier. Other than the fall out factor, I really love Midnight Cowboy and Midnight Cowboy Rides Again. In fact, I own one or more of both of those shades. This is a great palette for anyone that loves neutral and glitter eye shadows.
