			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday&#8217;s look with Stars N&#8217; Rockets and Carbon wasn&#8217;t quite a &#8220;day look&#8221; by any means for most people&#8230; but later on I did darken it up and added more eyeliner to take it to a more &#8220;night look.&#8221;</p>
<p>I added more Carbon in the crease and outer V.  Under the lower lash line I used Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Ransom, and did a thin line along the upper lashes as well.  </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the updated look:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.sushiblumen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/0129extra.jpg" alt="0129extra" title="0129extra"  class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-618" /></p>
<p>Little darker, little more dramatic!  Ransom blended in beautifully with Stars N&#8217; Rockets, and sure does have lasting power!  I love how those particular Urban Decay liners do not smudge or budge!</p>

<li>Zero (zealous black)</li>

<p>Swatching procedure: My skin tone is roughly a MAC NW20. Swatches were done on bare skin (no base).</p>
<p>Photos are taken in my bathroom which has “Natural Light” bulbs to mimic natural daylight. No flash is used.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-253" title="udsuperstash2" src="http://www.sushiblumen.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/udsuperstash2.jpg" alt="udsuperstash2" /></p>
<p>I just picked this set up at Sephora today, so I thought I&#8217;d say a few quick words about it as well.  First off, I LOVE the 24/7 pencils!  The formula is so soft and creamy &#8211; no tugging on the lids here!  For about 30 seconds the product remains blendable, and then dries down to a waterproof formula.  And holy crap, they&#8217;re waterproof!  I swatched several shades on my arm at Sephora, and their makeup remover would not remove them and I had to use alcohol (side note:  MAC Wipes DO remove these liners easily, I&#8217;ve never had difficulty removing them at home).  As much as I love my MAC products and prefer to buy MAC, I definitely give Urban Decay the upper hand on eye pencil formulation and color choice!</p>
<p>I originally went for this set for Graffiti and Eldorado.  I have Zero and Stash already, which I got in another 24/7 set last year (seems that Zero is included in nearly all the sets).  However, I am loving Oil Slick, Corrupt, and Binge as well!  Oh, and Rockstar&#8230; hell, they&#8217;re all great!</p>
<p>My only gripe so far is the size.  I thought my 0.8g sized 24/7 pencils were small&#8230; these in this set are 0.5g and TINY.  I can see how they can be difficult to hold and use, but I think I&#8217;ll be able to adjust.  Even though they&#8217;re tiny, I think they&#8217;ll all last me a decent while, or so I hope!  I heard that Eldorado will be released to the full size collection in the spring, which is good to hear because I am really loving it&#8217;s rich gold color.  I hope the other 3 (Oil Slick, Corrupt, and Binge) also join the full size collection.</p>
<p>The set was $36, which comes down to $4 per pencil.  Not terrible!  Definitely a good way to sample shades, or to save money.  Full size 24/7 pencils are $17 a piece and very large, so if someone isn&#8217;t a heavy liner user, I see this as a great way to get some great liners for occasional use, and not have to spend a lot of money on full size products.</p>
