Review and Swatch: Urban Decay Smoked Palette

Urban Decay Smoked Palette

Finally reviewing this beautiful palette!!

Come check out my review on Urban Decay's Smoked Palette.

Urban Decay Smoked Palette (includes booklet, primer potion, eye liner, and 10 eye shadows)

This is the smoky eye done the UD way: a true range of shades (Neutral mattes! Shimmering jewel tones!) for a range of smoky looks.

We're giving you everything you need to create the perfect smoky eye, Urban Decay style. Zipped inside this sleek, mirrored case are ten decadent shades (five are exclusive), including neutral mattes and shimmering jewel tones for a range of smoky looks. Sure, you can create a smoky eye with a range of gray and black shades. But what about a touch of purple, blue or bronze? The Smoked Eyeshadow Palette lets you keep things simple… or get a little more creative. (TIP: If you need a basic daytime look, stick to the range of matte neutrals. Throw the palette in your bag, and add some smoke as you leave the office.)

Our secret smoky eye weapon? A blacker-than-black matte pencil. Included with the Smoked Palette is a full-size 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion, AND a travel-size Eyeshadow Primer Potion.

Also included is a beautifully illustrated, step-by-step guide to 12 smoky eye looks, written by Urban Decay founder Wende Zomnir. Both smoky-eye pros and shadow newbies will benefit from this detailed guide to looks from “iconic” to “smoldering” to “reality star”. 

Zipper Case

This palette comes in a soft zip up case. I really like it because it’s different from their other palettes! On the outer top the word “SMOKED” is embossed and inside it has a mirror, 10 eye shadows, and 1 full size eye liner. The primer potion is in its new packaging and it was not in the palette but included with it. 

Inside Packaging includes mirror, full sized eyeliner, and 10 eye shadows

These are their reformulated eye shadows which I already owned some before getting this… BUT, these eye shadows are so soft and pigmented, easy to blend, and there was barely any fall out. Really really really love Urban Decay’s eye shadow! The only ‘dry’ eye shadow I experienced in this palette was Blackout but other than that the rest of the eye shadows were excellent.

Original Retail: $49

How Much I Paid: $8.50 (20% off code = $50-$10=$40; had a $20 gift card to Sephora = $40-$20 + $3.50 tax = $23.50. Friend bought the full size perversion eyeliner for $15)

Eye Shadows: 10 x 0.8 g / 0.03 oz

Primer Potion: 3.7 mL / 0.13 fl. Oz

Eye Liner: 1.2 g / 0.04 oz

A really simple eye look created with 3 shades (Kinky, Barlust, and Rockstar)

I really love this palette. I love the packaging and all the contents included in this palette; from the 10 eye shadows to the primer potion, full size eyeliner in Perversion and the Smoked Get the Look Book. The price was just right at $49 even though I scored this for only $8.50! I already own most of Urban Decay’s eye shadows but how can I resist when they keep on making more palettes for such a low cost?! I also like the unique zipper up compact case; so cute for a great price. I'm planning to do another post with more eye looks from this palette!
