Devil Karen: “C’mon, you know you’re not fooling anybody. You’re not gonna do any actual WORK today! Why don’t you swatch a few of those liners from the new Urban Decay 24-7 Super Stash Glide-On Eye Pencil Set ($36) instead?”
Angel Karen: “Young lady, you really should be working. You’ve fooled around enough today. Time to get down to business right now.”
Devil Karen: “Duuuuude, work sucks! Swatch those nine mini-pencil liners already. It’s a holiday set, for crying out loud. Purple, blue, brown, gold, black, green — soooo many colors. I’m not kidding here; these will glide like buttah on your lids.”
Well, maybe just one quick swatch…
Zero
Stash
Rockstar
Oil Slick
Eldorado
Corrupt
Binge
Ransom
Graffiti
Top: Zero, Stash, Rockstar, Ransom and Binge. Bottom: Graffiti, Eldorado, Corrupt and Oil Slick
Oops! Has anyone seen my self control? I seem to misplaced it, LOL!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Which of these colors is your fave?
You just cracked me up BIG TIME. 😀
And goodness gracious, you’re making me misplace MY self control!

I’m absolutely loving Ransom and Corrupt. These look fab.
I’m loving Rockstar, El Dorado, and Corrupt . . . I just need to order the set, I’m just going to have to do it! Especially after seeing these swatches on your eyes 🙂
I am SO IN LOVE with Stash and Rockstar! Speaking of self control, I spent all my money at Sephora last weekend and now I’m thinking I need to make another trip to pick up some of these babies. And I wonder what happens to me money…

I like El dorado, binge and ransom. Are these out already?
I don’t think my sephora has them yet
Are these the liners that have incredible wear for greeeezy lids (like mine)? I hope so, because those are great colors. Stash is subtley sexy (good for work) and Ransom is HOT.
I love playing with eye liner! I think bright colors look especially good on brown-eyed gals like me 😛 . It’s such a quick way to make eyes “pop” without worrying so much about smudging. But no matter what mascara I use, it smudges if I look down and read something for more than 10 minutes – especially if it’s hot outside! Ick.
I didn’t get any work done either, but I am thinking of getting a hold of this holiday set because there are several colours I like in the set. Paying for the set beats paying $21.00 CAD per pencil!

Oh my gosh, I just talked to myself to not get the set, and I see your fab post~! Poor wallet! Nooo~!

1) Karennnnn! Shame on you! You should have been working!
2) Thanks for the swatches, girl. Rockstar has been on my w/l for ages, but thanks to you I’m taking it off and replacing it with Ransom! I have way too many things that look like Rockstar already. Bur Ransom? Holy cripes! Now THAT is a liner.

Ooohooohooo!!! Wow those look amazing! I have zero already and I love it, so I miiight have check these babies out! Good swatches btw…
Ooh those look great! I love the color range.
Just curious, what colors, if any, look best with dark brown eyes? I’ve heard that purple makes them pop but I can’t really see a noticeable difference when I use plum eyeshadow. I really like how Corrupt looks though, so now I’m considering it…
Ransom is probably my favorite. The others are neat but I like the color changing properties of this purpley-blue liner!
OH HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. I LOVE THESE. ransom would totally pop on my brown eyes. only exception is el dorado, which would look horrible on my fair asian skin. maybe with a deep fake-bake/competition tan?
karen, if you want a cheap alternative to these, try GOSH velvet touch eyeliner pencils. i don’t know if you can get that in the states, but it’s a lot cheaper than urban decay, easier to find (in canada anyway, it’s at every pharmaprix/shopper’s drug mart), and it even stayed on for ages through dancing in a non-airconditioned, 80% humidity dance studio! they also have loads and loads of crazy colors.

Ooooh! I love Binge & Ransom! Those are such fun colors. Now I might have to go waste some time at Sephora trying those out. I should also be working right now too. Thanks for the distraction Karen! lol
Hi Nancy,
You’re welcome. What are you working on tonight?
Ooh, I love eldorado and stash!
Okay, all of these look great on you, but Binge looks absolutely fabulous! That color really complements you! This set is soooo on my wishlist!
OMG, thank you for swatching these on your eye! It really gives a much better sense of how each color looks. It helps that I’m similar to you in coloring (eyes, hair, and skintone). 🙂
I love them all. LOVE ‘EM. Though I’ll have to say, after seeing them on, that Stash, Corrupt, Rockstar, and Binge are my favorites in the bunch. 🙂
.-= meimei’s last blog post… Randomesticity: Typhoon-B-Gon =-.
I am loving the Rockstar one! For some reason, Im just drawn to purples when it comes to eye makeup. Perhaps its because it makes my hazel eyes pop! 😀
My jaw literally dropped at Ransom. GORGEOUS.
I so want even though these don’t last a bare minute without smudging on my lids…which aren’t even that oily! Sigh.
I love them …. ii was actually considering purchasing the new grease sticks from Mac black collection but I kinda like these better
.-= Ke”s last blog post… Army Wife =-.
i was going to get these but i just realized i already have my favorites in full size. all i really need is a gold liner. darn
Oh wow, I am so sold. I put myself on a cosmetic purchasing ban until the end of November (so far away!), but as soon as that’s up, I’m picking this set up. I like Rockstar and Ransom. Thanks for the swatches!
Niiice. These eye swatches are super helpful!
I can’t seem to decide between Ransom and Corrupt. Pity.
Oooh btw, great news: I have a job! I’m substituting for a music teacher the whole month of October. Full-time music teaching 🙂 Yay!
Hehehe, thank you Devil Karen! Although Urban Decay is unavailable here, I still like your post 🙂
I think I have to get these now! I’ve always thought that Eldorado and Graffiti would be too bright, but they look very wearable!
i’m *really* into corrupt right now…its just so dark and smudgey and amazing! but i think el dorado and binge are close behind
Ransom is my fave!
Random, Rock Star & Stash are the ones I would most likely pick. Cool!
Karen, I swear you’re cracking me up every single time. But sorry devil, karen, my wallet has walked out on me last week, so no eyeliners till 2012.
Who doesn’t have those crazy voices in their heads? The devil in me seems to have taken over long time, I’ve been so lazy lately! 😀
El Dorado looks awesome on you, I was scrolling down and then suddenly *bam* you’re eyes got bigger! Though my favourite would have to be Ransom, it’s a gorgeous colour!
.-= Marce’s last blog post… Look Primavera 09 – Go Naked =-.
I think stash is my fave! These are so cute!
These pencils are probably the best. I couldn’t find better ones so far, they glide easily on the lid and they are long lasting.

I’m DYING to get these. Sephora is finally having their Friends and Family discount (20%) starting 10/19 so I’m definitely going to get it! Code is FF2009 🙂 I got this info from temptalia.com 🙂
lol, that angel/devil convo was cute 🙂
I love ransom, would love to try that one out!
.-= Briana’s last blog post… 3bt =-.
Oh, nommy-nom-nom!
My willpower would have taken a vacay too! 😉
ahh i love ransom..its so rad!
Stash and Rockstar are gooooooorrrrgeous! Thanks for swatching!
Stash is my fave. But really they’re all very cool and thank you, Devil-Karen, for not letting Angel-Karen get any work done so that we can all drool over these colors and figure out which ones to buy. Now, Devil-Abby is saying, “heyyyyy…it’s only a ten minute drive to sephorrrrra! and today is PAYYYYDAYYYY!” and Angel-Abby is saying, “Oh heck, I give up, okay let’s go.” WHEEEEE!
So glad Evil Karen won! Haha. I have the same internal debate in my head every day.

I got my super stash too & was playing tons last night. But, is it just me, or is anyone else disappointed w/ their size. The pencils are miniscule. Like “when my lip/eyeliner pencil’s gettin’ low & u make a mental note to pick up a new one next time ur out” kinda small. Feel like UD really flaked on the size w/ these. They should’ve been like all thei other travel size pencils. I would of paid the extra $$ for sure. *Sigh*…BUT I still love them… :):)
Ahh! I’m totally hyperventilating! Rockstar is gorgeous! I have mini versions of Zero, Yeyo, Stash, Bourbon, and 1999 from last year’s holiday set, and I really love the colors. I’m not too down on the texture–it’s a little TOO buttery for me, as I personally prefer more powdery finishes. I think Rockstar comes out in the full size version, too, so I’ll buy that separately.
very nice pencils! do they really last 24/7?
.-= sunmom’s last blog post… Preparing for Typhoon Pepeng… =-.
omg the colors are fabulous!
I love this! A total must.
I love stash! Must try it!
Wooooow, thanks for all the swatches!!
.-= Catherine’s last blog post… Tags! Dinner Party & 6 Things About Me =-.
The pencils are in my cart..I also want Kat Von D’s new palette, so as soon as it is back in stock (or maybe I’ll just go in-store and order it on Monday! :)) it’s mine. Ransom is really pretty, but so is Stash.
I’m in love with these pencils from the moment I saw them. Unfortunately they are not available in Spain…grrrrrrrr
i’d like to have this! :'( too bad it’s not available in the philippines and urban decay doesn’t ship to us…hope i can get an ebay seller soon!
.-= sunmom’s last blog post… Just Bought: Bare Escentuals Liner Sealer! =-.
I’m loving Stash!
.-= Kim’s last blog post… Do As I Do, Not As You Do =-.
I love these!! The swatches are great, it’s so much better to see them ON someone. My eyes are shaped similarly to yours and I love the cleanness and drama of a thick line…I’m going to be brave and try it sometime. My only issue is, I have very fair skin (pinkish tones, natural light blond), and I feel it’s hard for me to pull off colors other than black or dark brown. Any tips ladies?
Stash looks AMAZING on you karen!!!
