Psalm 18

Psalm 18:2, 16-21, 25-26, 28, 30

The Lord  is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
he drew me out of deep waters.

He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.

The Lord  has dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.

To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless, to the pure you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.

You, Lord , keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.

As for God, his way is perfect:
The Lord 's word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.

Blogging here again, weeeee!

The main reason why I'm switching back to blogger is because it syncs with Google.

The other day Sweetvo suprised me with a Nexus tablet, I never have thought that I would enjoy a tablet...but I am, it's so convenient to not have to on and off my old but faithful laptop...so I'm pretty excited about reviving my blog again...:).let's see how this goes.

Till then,
Cheers!

Urban Decay Smoked 24/7 glide on eye pencil set review and swatches

I received this Urban Decay Smoked 24/7 glide on eye pencil from my boyfriend's mum for my birthday last year, and only up to recently I have been able to try out each one of them.

They have 6 shades, their most famous one being the color zero, followed by their other colours smog, Uzi, demolition, empire and mainline. They are very kohl like liners.

Pigmentation and application: they are very pigmented and extremely easy to glide on. Major plus point as it doesn't tug on my lids.However, they require a good eye-makeup remover to be thoroughly removed.

Uzi is my favorite colour. It's black with a little shimmer, and on days when I'm in a hurry, I use them as an all over lid colour.

Mainline is a fun beautiful almost dark teal colour, I love it for adding a pop of colour to the bottom waterline.

I have tried blending these colours with eye makeup, and they weren't very easy to blend, maybe it was because they are really pigmented, maybe it's just me, but you can create the smokey look by smudging a little eyeshadow over the liner.

Instead of getting the whole set you might want to choose a few colours that you like and will use often, and i might suggest you getting them full sized as these are travel size.These pencils have been really useful for me while traveling, or when I have a sleep over, I'll just chuck them into my bag and I don't have to worry about bringing my make up palette or brushes. To sum it up, if you like  kohl like liners, they are definitely worth getting. You can find these at Sephora.

An eye look using just 3 colours from the set. Uzi all over lid, zero for the top liner and mainline for my bottom waterline.
