The Urban Decay x Kristen Leanne Collection epitomizes everything we love about Kristen Leanne, from her passion for makeup to her whimsical vibe. Stay tuned to keep reading about some of the amazing products that are included in this collection! You can check these products out on the Urban Decay website.

UD x Kristen Leanne Daydream Eyeshadow Palette | $26.00

Loaded with five new shades, the limited-edition Daydream Eyeshadow Palette is Kristen’s go-to for matte perfection. Plus, every shade has a velvety texture, rich color, serious staying power, and blendability.

Palette Contains:

• Lucy (ivory matte)
• Daydream (soft nude matte)
• 12/12 (soft peach matte)
• Subscribe (warm nude matte)
• Eight (rich warm brown matte)

The five eyeshadows included in this palette will give you a gorgeous matte brown smokey eye. You can also go lighter and peachy by using the Lucy and 12/12 shades. There is a small dual-ended brush included as well. All of these matte eyeshadows are smooth, creamy, and blend like a dream. There is a slight amount of kick-up when you dip your brush in but nothing over the top. The staying power is extremely nice. They do not fade or crease throughout the day. This is a great go-to palette as it contains all of the basic shades you need, including transition and brow bone shades.

UD x Kristen Leanne Beauty Beam Highlighter Palette | $34.00

Kristen digs highlighter almost as much as she digs Mexican food, and this is her ultimate highlighter palette. Wear these golden shades individually or cocktail two or three for a custom glowy effect.

Palette Contains:

• Soft Rose (gold pearl)
• White (gold pearl)
• Warm Golden Pearl (golden pearl)

I love the variety of the tones in this palette. It makes it easy to customize a shade for your skin tone – making this a great addition to any makeup artist’s kit! Each shade has a gorgeous golden glow. They apply beautifully to the skin. There is no kick back when you dip a brush in. The formula blends smoothly onto the cheekbones and does not accentuate any fine lines, texture, or pores. It brightens and lifts the face. It’s also perfect to use as eyeshadow or inner corner/brow bone shades.

UD x Kristen Leanne Kaleidoscope Dream Eyeshadow Palette | $39.00

The limited-edition Kaleidoscope Dream Eyeshadow Palette features 11 vibrant shades, including a uniquely shifty yellow, vivid bright shades, and an out-of-this-world split-pan duotone. Each shade is named after something close to Kristen Leanne’s heart, like LCW (a nod to her favorite song, “Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress,” by the Hollies), and 13th Floor (one of her favorite Twilight Zone episodes). Each shade has a velvety texture, rich color, and serious staying power and blendability.

Palette Contains:

• Leo + Brixton (holographic green pearl shift + holographic red-green pearl shift)
• Stay Gold (metallic yellow-gold)
• Spitfire (bright pink satin with purple shift)
• Tajin (orange matte)
• LCW (metallic teal blue)
• TRM (metallic deep navy blue)
• Dye (violet satin)
• Corona (metallic soft bronze with gold shimmer)
• 13th Floor (black matte)
• Lime Time (metallic neon green)

This palette is just absolutely beautiful to look at. All of the shades are so vibrant and gorgeous. The texture is smooth and creamy. The pigment packs a punch. There is no need to build and build to get the effect that you’re looking for. I think this is a super fun, bright and colorful palette for those who are into bold makeup looks. Have no fear because even if you aren’t into bold eyeshadow, you can still incorporate some of these shades into your routine for fun pops of color. Corona is a gorgeous warm bronze lid shade. Leo and Brixton (the split pan shadows) are beautiful on the inner corners and eyelids. 13th Floor is a great shade to achieve a smokey eye. Tajin is a great transition shade to warm up any eye look. I think Urban Decay and Kristen Leanne really created something special with this palette! I totally dig it.

UD x Kristen Leanne Eyeshadow | $19.00

To complete the collection, there’s an exclusive mustard yellow shade of eyeshadow that Kristen just can’t live without. Named “S.G.H.,” this shade is a reference to one of Kristen’s favorite songs, “Sister Golden Hair,” by America. And like all of Urban Decay’s shades, S.G.H. has a velvety texture, rich color, serious staying power and blendability. This shade is a gorgeous mustard yellow with little flecks of sparkle and shimmer. It’s great as a lid shade or even blended into the crease as a transition shade. The formula, like all other Urban Decay eyeshadows, is smooth and buttery. This is quite a unique shade as I have nothing like this in my collection.

UD x Kristen Leanne Vice Lipstick | $17.00

Get unbelievable laydown of color with just one swipe with these lipsticks. The creamy formula is packed with nourishing ingredients. A butter blend comforts, hydrates, and enhances, leaving lips soft and conditioned, never dry. Aloe vera, jojoba, avocado, and babassu oils nourish and soften lips. Illipe butter, derived from Malaysian illipe trees, provides long-lasting moisture, while the vitamins C and E deliver a hint of antioxidants.

Shades Available:

• Bun Bun (nude comfort matte)
• Cloud9 (magenta comfort matte)
• Spellbound (deep plum mega matte)

The creamy formula applies smoothly, without dragging or skipping, hugs lips, and feels amazing. The pigment is insane on these products as well. You can achieve high intensity color in one swipe. I really love that the trio contains two ultra bold shades and one nude shade. I think the shade range would look amazing on any skin tone. The formula does not creep into the lines of your lips nor does it smear around while wearing throughout the day. While they are not transfer proof, they do have serious staying power. The packaging is extremely cute – I love the pink bullets!

Here are some swatches of the products!

Everything is super pigmented as you can see! The products are very high quality, loaded with pigment, and easy to use – whether you’re a makeup beginner or more of a makeup “expert.” Here are some looks I created using a variety of the products.

Overall, this is a really cute and fun collection that includes products that really perform and live up to the hype! I absolutely love the packaging too. Urban Decay cranks out high quality products at relatively affordable prices – so you don’t have to worry about breaking the bank to get some products that work well! I would highly recommend any of the products mentioned in today’s post!
