Urban Decay To Launch In South Africa!

urbandecaysouthafrica

Its true fellow make-up junkies, the news that we have all been waiting for have been confirmed- Urban Decay is coming to South Africa! It’s not just a rumour and after months of waiting I can finally confirm that this cult brand will finally be hitting our shores! I’ve been keeping this little secret since past July and it has been eating me inside to not share it with you guys. Now all together lets scream “Naked Palettes!”.

Before I tell you about the brand, a little sidenote- if you have been keeping up with the blog, you would have known that 3 months ago I started my first job. I was very vague about it because I couldn’t reveal that the brand I am working for is indeed Urban Decay. I am beyond excited to be a part of the Urban Decay South Africa team and because I work directly on the brand you will not see any Urban Decay products reviews on my blog. I will however share information about pricing, upcoming launches,giveaways and anything that might not require my direct opinion about UD products. My opinion is rather easy to guess- I wouldn’t be working for the brand if I weren’t head over heels about it.

The brand originated in the 90s when colours like pink and peach ruled the beauty industry. The creator of the brand, Wende Zomnir wanted to add a little color to the rather bland cosmetics industry and that’s when she found herself mixing nail polishes in her California condo. Right there, Urban Decay was born, and its first tagline was “Does Pink Make You Puke?” The brand has stayed true to its roots since then and is known for its punchy colors and unapologetic approach to the sometimes tame beauty industry. I love that the brands motto is “Beauty With An Edge”- that resonates with me on all levels!

Urban Decay is very well known for the cult product that is the Naked Palette. To this day, there are 4 of them, the latest launch being the Naked Smoky. Besides the palettes, the brand dominates in the eye category with its mono eye shadows, 24/7 eyeliners and the world famous eye shadow priming potion.

Ultra Definition Skin is also a big focus for the brand, with Naked Skin Liquid Foundation and 24/7 Concealer emerging strong in the beauty market over the past few years.

The brand is also expanding into eyebrow products more and more and just how cute is this little Brow Box?

I know what you all want to ask me- what will the pricing be like? When is the brand launching? Where? How soon? But I still have so much information and so many photos to share, so let’s leave that for another post shall we?;) All I can say is its launching mid-May and keep an eye out for more, there is a little treat for you coming soon!:)

    What an absolutely amazing brand to work with, Irina! (I almost thought it was going to be Elf until they dropped off the radar :P) I’m going to have to save up for the launch, because all of it has been on my wishlist for ages!

    Congratulations on the job! So excited that I ‘know’ a SA blogger who works for Urban Decay. I hope you will be able to provide us with more details soon, e.g. if they will be offering online ordering for those of us who will not be able to get to the physical store

    HOORAY! I didn’t buy a Naked 2 Palette when I was in Europe last year and I’ve been wracked with regret ever since.

Instagram post 2194484569861217817_206198477 Actual footage of me in 5 months time but on our honeymoon🥰We finally decided on our destination and booked our flights and resort and I couldn’t be more excited 😆 After much deliberation we settled on Maldives as we both felt like it is a once-in-a-lifetime holiday that deserves something grande(like an over-water villa 😉). If you’re still looking for a honeymoon destination, check our my blogpost about Honeymoons For Every Budget 💸Where did you go on honeymoon?
Instagram post 2192268505198681556_206198477 Me looking at December with this loving look like 🥰🥰🥰Honestly, 2019 has been such a busy year that I am so looking forward to the holidays and a little bit of a break. I’m not even doing anything exciting as we have saved all of our cash for honeymoon and wedding things, but I can’t wait to just sleep in, drink wine and relax. What are your December plans? PS this New Years Inspo outfit was shot by the lovely @shante.hutton.photography and will be up on the blog soon 🥰
Instagram post 2190942558071562146_206198477 Forever has a nice ring to it 🥰🥰🥰Less than 5 months to go until our wedding, and I’m finally feeling like I’ve got my ducks 🦆 in a row! Venue, dress, flowers, and decor is sorted, so only a few more things to tick off the list. Should I do a wedding planning update? Honestly it’s taken me a while to gather the best and some of the most budget friendly suppliers around Cape Town and feel like I should pass on the info ☺️ #DevineIDo
Instagram post 2185088803413446673_206198477 Fell in love with Bali 2 years ago, and haven’t stopped dreaming about it since 😍 Sometimes, some things happen in your life just when you need them, without ever realizing that you needed them in the first place. I was in a very strange place in my life when I went on this trip, and it was exactly what I needed to not only re-energize, but to gain my love of life back! Bali is a magical place, and I often hear people talk about how good it was for their soul, and I completely agree. After coming back from this trip a lot of things changed for me and I often think back to this moment and how it helped me heal 🙏🏻 Am I just crazy, or is Bali just that amazing? 😄
Instagram post 2183342537113508538_206198477 You know you’re getting old, when prospects of new carpets and floors excites you 😂 Last weekend I visited @carpetdecor_sa to check out their range of carpets, wooden floors, blinds(and more!), because I am officially at the age where I want to start spending money on getting new laminate floors rather than shoes(okay, that’s a bit drastic, maybe half-half😂). At @carpetdecor_sa you can get a free quote plus they are available in 11 branches all over the country(I visited the Fourways Showroom to get a feel for a full range). They are currently running a fab Love Your Home promo where you can win R5000(see their page for more details). I am dreaming of some pink carpets to go into my beauty room 😍 #homedecor #ad #carpetsandecor
