My Palette

Application: 5/5

These are the re-formulated eye shadows and they are just absolutely fantastic. I’ve always loved Urban Decay’s eye shadows because they were always great. So rich, buttery, smooth, and long lasting that it just glides on to your skin without any trouble. You also won’t forget that Urban Decay has the best velvety texture for eye shadows.

Wearability: 5/5

The eye shadows are definitely wearable. YOU get to pick what shades you want in your palette so it should be your own taste of what you like using. I definitely think that the eye shadows’ formula are amaaazing like I had stated earlier.

Color: 5/5

Walk of Shame – Light nude with a matte finish

Last Call – Burgundy purple with some pink hint to it

Woodstock – Bright hot pink

Stray Dog – Medium Taupe-ish Brown

Mildew – Olive green with a hint of bronze

Haight – Mermaid blue

Packaging: 5/5

Palette - The packaging is so cute and I just love the details/color on the palette. I also love how it is so easy to pop eye shadows in and out of its place. The palette isn’t thick but just the right size. It only fits 6 eye shadows in a palette and one eye shadow is already included with the palette, which is Walk of Shame. The mirror inside is also really big and fills up the top half. They also include another bonus freebie which is the brush.

Eye Shadows – The cardboard boxes are really nice. It has a window cut out so that you can see the shade. There is also a big fat label on the top (indicating the shade) and the ingredients are on the back of the sticker. The eye shadows compacts are still their signature tokens but now they are no longer made out of that plastic case; instead they are made out of a chrome material. It is absolutely just stunning. The old eye shadows do fit into the palette but it is a VERY tight fit (there will be another post about that).

Price: 3.5/5

My boyfriend and I paid $75.18 (with shipping and tax included) for all 5 eye shadows + the build your own palette. Pretty pricey but I already knew that before I ordered it.

Original Value: $108 (w/out shipping and tax)

What I Paid: $75.18!!!!! (Saved $32.82)

Overall: 

I really do love this palette and I don’t regret spending so much money on it. My boyfriend and I both split it (because he is the best boyfriend ever!). I’m really happy that I got it because I truly do love it so so so much. I plan on picking up a few more eye shadows and another palette later on. I really want X, Freelove and Mushroom. Go pick this up if you have the $$$ to spend on this amazing palette filled with your very own eye shadows that you picked out.
