BYE BYE BLOGGER! - Our new blog home....

To my loyal followers,

I wanted to let you know that I have officially moved my blog over to Wordpress.

Blogger has been lovely, but with my new host I am able to do a lot more than I am able to staying here.

I love blogging and appreciate all the support and love from all my fellow beauty babes so please continue to check out Inside the Makeup Case at its new Wordpress home.

swatches: UD 24/7 Jackpot

After my discovery of the Urban Decay section in a local Shoppers Drug Mart, I couldn't help but treat myself to the 24/7 Jackpot set that includes nine travel sized shades of these award winning liners as well as a full sized Zero pencil. I have only used a select few of these in the past, so this was a brilliant opportunity to try some of the colours I may not have bought otherwise.

Here are all ten swatches:


Starting from LEFT to RIGHT:
  • Rockstar - a dark eggplant
  • Gunmetal - pewter shade with hints of silver glitter
  • Binge - navy blue
  • Ransom - bright shiny purple
  • Electric - a bright blue with a hint of sheen
  • Stash - dark golden olive green
  • Mildew - dark green (reminds me of MAC Humid e/s)
  • Whiskey - dark chocolate brown
  • Eldorado - gold (reminds me of MAC Goldmine)
  • Zero - blackest black
I can't wait to play with these liners in some of my makeup looks. All the colours have already inspired me to do some killer FOTD's.

Stay tuned!

urban decay + 905 = love



Feast your eyes my beauty babes of the 905 area! Although this may not be news to some, I was super stoked to discover a Shoppers Drug Mart Beauty Boutique in my area that carried URBAN DECAY. Amazing! Unfortunately for my wallet, I can now justify buying more UD goodies now that I "save" money on gas driving that little bit further to Sephora. See how I can make myself beauty guilt-free?!


For those wondering where this fabulous (and magical - in my opinion) location is, I will tell you. This particular SDM is at Garden and Rossland in Whitby. It's a very nice store and the staff is amazing. Very friendly and as you can see from the pics I took, quite accommodating and helpful to beauty bloggers armed with an iPhone camera. *chuckles*


The major question that was on my mind (and I'm sure in all of yours) is whether or not this SDM carried the coveted Naked Palette. Yes they do. Are there any in stock
? Unfortunately, but not surprising, no. You can, as I did, put your name on a list to get your hands on one when they restock.

Another cool thing is that this location is hosting a big beauty event called 'Bright Lights, Big City'. This is happening Wednesday November 24th from 1pm until 9pm. You can reserve appointments to get beautified by some pretty impressive artists coming in from Dior, Smashbox and Clarins. The star of the event will be the attendance of Urban Decay's beauty expert and international makeup artist, Eric Jimenez. Appointments for him and the other artists are limited so I suggest going to the SDM to book a spot or call (905) 430-6967 x42.

I hope this discovery has been helpful for those who didn't know we could get Urban Decay in the Durham Region. As for the peeps who had already discovered this lone UD-carrying SDM, perhaps you might be glad to have heard of the amazing event happening there. In any case, please let me know if you find other SDM locations that carry this brand so we can spread the word.

Happy Shopping!
