Urban Decay Primer Potion Tubes
Urban Decay Primer Potion Tubes
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Tubes ($19.00 for 0.37 oz.) just launched at Sephora and will be exclusive to Sephora at this time. They’re available in all four varieties–Eden, Greed, Original, and Sin–and they’re actually a smidgen bigger than the bottles (0.37 oz. vs. 0.34 oz.) and cost a dollar more. I noticed that Sephora didn’t mark these as limited editoin and only stated that they would be exclusive to Sephora for a limited time–I presume they’ll roll out to the usual retailers later on. Once I have more details, I’ll be sure to post.

I'm having quite a bit of trouble getting the primer out of the tube, the professional size, ever since a got it. I even cut more of the tip off. Any suggestions or could the product be damaged?
Hello!! i have a huge problem i really wanted just one and they are kind of costly. If i were to get just one which one would you suggest. (I am more of a basic girl i don't do to crazy outrageous colors but i do dabble a bit)
Just FYI the South Coast one in Costa Mesa already has the regular and Greed in stock (back of the store when I went Friday) but they pulled them out for me when I asked cause I had called V.I.B. and the shipment showed they had it. They were really nice about it. I am outta Sin though and want them to get in store!
I had such a bad experience with the professional size of this stuff. I bought 3 and all 3 went wrong. I guess the way they made the tube was faulty. Whenever you squeezed the tube the pinched end would pop open and product would squeeze out of both ends. Such a disappointment. I went to return it and got the excuse that I bought them out of a bad batch they recieved. I went to the Sephora website to write a review and found that other buyers experienced the same thing. I love the tube vs the genie one but they need to make it better. I'll give this a try and if it happens again, I'm done!
does anyone know when will this be launch in canada? cause i was at sephora today and they didn't have them yet, i asked, and it didn't seem like they know what i was talking about .. =/
The tube design is so much better than the bottle. I never use the wand on the bottle because I find I get too much product so it'll be easy to squeeze out just enough product with the tube.
I love UDPP, but have long since hated the packaging. As everyone knows, it's impossible to get all the product out (even with the introduction of the angled applicator), plus I've found the plastic cracks easily if you drop it, and to add insult to injury even though I use mine daily and always tighten the lid as much as possible, I find mine frequently begins to get dry at about the 50% mark. I am thrilled with this new packaging!
If these are permanent, will they replace the stand up bottles? I really prefer the aesthetic of the original container. Maybe I just like seeing it standing up on my counter. Plus, there is something so satisfying about thinking the container is empty and slicing it open. Of course, there is the issue of finding an airtight container so it doesn't dry out before it's all used, but since people seem to be having trouble with the new tube drying out or splitting, I hope UD can find a fix for that. I'll have to try one out in store, for some reason I feel like I would always squeeze too much out and waste a lot.
Oh how I hope these will be permanent and available for international sale! Sephora doesn't ship to my country, and we don't get Urban Decay here :( My only hope is sites that do intl. delivery...
I was excited to see these! So happy! Way easier for application and more sanitary when using on other people. Very excited about the product.
Finally! Ive been waiting for them to change the packaging for ages!! I hope they come to the uk soon and i hope they are permanent changes, otherwise i might have to stock up on these for the next couple of years!
I hope that these tubes are better quality than the l/e pro sized ones available around Christmas last year... I bought it and less than a week later the bum-end busted open! I didn't even squeeze it hard/in the middle, drop it, step on it, etc. etc. I was a little pissed. But Sephora did give me a new regular primer potion, and then the rest of the money on a Sephora gift card. I was very impressed with their customer service.
Silly Qn: Do you buy Primer Potion based on ur skin color? Or based on the type(texture/colour) of eyeshadow you're applying ontop?
Probably more based on how you want to use it. If you need something for everyday, then nude is better - so Original or Eden.
I'm not sure if I am the only one, but I love Eden. I am so excited about these. I have the tube of the original, which I snagged as soon as it came out, and I am still so happy that they put it in a tube. I am so excited about these!!
can sin be compared to mac vintage selection paint pot or benefit rsvp creaseless cream shadow? btw, thank you for the lovely swatches & love your blog!
Love it! But I still have a lot of UDPP to finish. I also have the professional size. But I am glad they already come up with this packaging...
I really hope they make these permanent! I probably won't use up my primers for a couple more years. xD
I've been using the professional size tube for months and I have to say it has been HORRIBLE. At first it worked fine and was a great way to get around the hassle of the regular bottle, but after some use (I guess when air got into the tube) it began to push the product out any way possible. All of the rungs around the tip cracked and the entire bottom of the tube split. It is essentially pointless to use it now since one squeeze wastes product in every direction. I hope these little tubes don't have the same issue as I've had with the larger one!
OMG SUPER WANT! I wish they shipped internationally; I'd get two of Greed and Eden! MUST HAVE! UD, PLZ TO SHIP INTERNATIONALLY PLZ KTHXBAI!
Yay! I hope these aren't limited edition cause I love that they're in squeeze tubes! Just ordered the Original UDPP and Sin :)
Can't wait!!!! I'm going to the US in about 3 weeks ! I'm going to stalk up!! These just look better then the other ones!!! :D :D :D
