Urban Decay Summer '08

Urban Decay's summer collection is also now available to view on Sephora, although some of the products are still "temporarily unavailable". Like Tarte, Urban Decay always comes up with fun innovative products that stand apart from the big mass market brands.

Big Fatty Colored Mascara (US$17, 0.26 oz) is basically UD's Big Fatty Mascara but now in 4 vibrant shades: Black Cherry, Electric Blue, Indigo and Purple Haze. Made in a smaller version of the beloved Big Fatty Mascara tube. , Color Mascaras still feature a big, fuzzy brush for insane volume. And, each tube is wrapped in a color-coordinated Pucci-inspired print! The creamy formula, infused with hemp oil, vitamin E, shea butter, and jojoba oil thickens and lengthens lashes. Try it once and you'll be addicted.

De-Slick Mattifying Powder (US$28, 0.40 oz) is a shine-stopping pressed powder that blots oil and keeps shine at bay. The lavender shade applies invisibly and works on every skintone. Because the formula contains super lightweight, oil-absorbing rice powder you won't feel the powder, but you'll see the shine-free results. This powder comes in a gorgeous, transparent purple compact which seems to glow from within and features Urban Decay embellishments of skulls, flourishes, and flowers.

Santa Tanita Body Bronzer (US$28,3.4 oz) is a bronzing mousse that gradually darkens with time. The light, airy mousse instantly bronzes face and body while a gradual self tanner goes to work, building a lasting tan. The moisturizing formula goes on without streaking and won't rub off onto clothes.

And finally, a gorgeous kabuki brush from UD! Big Buddha Brush (US$36) features a big, wide brush head (measuring over 3" x 2") and a comfortable oblong handle. Bronze arms and legs with one sweep, dust on loose powder, or highlight shoulders and décolleté. It is made with Taklon, a super soft, man-made fiber that comes to a fine point at the tip, just like a natural hair. Each high-tech fiber is crimped and manipulated perfectly for what the brush was built to do. Big Buddha's two-toned hair is purple at the tip, creating a gorgeous ombre effect.
