Come check out my review and

| Theodora Palette |
Recreate Michelle Williams' ethereal, spellbinding look from the film with The Glinda Palette or copy Mila Kunis' captivating, edgy onscreen look with The Theodora Palette. Each one has six pans and EIGHT ALL NEW and exclusive Eyeshadows. Confused? These sets include two “duo-shades” that are split in half, with a different color on each side of the pan. Every shade features Urban Decay's Pigment Infusion System™, the proprietary blend of ingredients that gives each shade its velvety texture, rich color, serious staying power and blendability. Plus, you also get a Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color and a travel-size 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil.”
The packaging for these
limited eye shadow palettes are gorgeous since the artwork are so eye catching
(Urban Decay did a really great job with the design!). The six eye shadows and
eyeliner are placed in the tin pan (known as the “Build Your Own Palette”)
which lets you switch eye shadows in and out of the palettes.

The font on the
front palette pops out which gives it a little of dimension. The Glinda palette
is designed with specks of pink, purple, gold, and peach while the Theodora
palette is designed with darker shades like green, yellow, purple, and black in
something similar like a random tie dye.
All of the eye shadows were
pigmented with minimal fall out. They were also smooth and buttery and easy to
blend out. Urban Decay eye shadows haven’t disappointed me yet. The eyeliners
are one of my favorites and it does last for a very long time. And finally the
lip pencil.. this thing was AWESOME. It was very moisturizing and easy to apply
on to my lips. Both had a glossy finish but it surprisingly it lasted longer
than my other lipsticks.

These palettes are
absolutely GORGEOUS. I already own a lot of Urban Decay products but these
palettes surely doesn’t disappoint me one bit. Yes, there is fall out but it is
minimal. The eye shadows, eye liners, and lip pencils are so creamy, soft, and
easy to use. I don’t regret getting both since they are both set at an amazing
price with high quality products. I like how they used the BYOP (Build Your Own
Palette) for this collection because I have some other eye shadows that I can
throw in and create the “ideal” palette for myself if I ever wanted to. All of
the colors and art work is a plus and Urban Decay did such a great job.
Are you planning to pick
these palettes up?
If so, which one(s)?
Thank you so much for
reading!
Ohhh these look so nice! I really like Glinda, it seems to have more variety. I personally don't need that many dark brown shades in my palettes lol The red lips look devine!
ReplyDeletethey are nice! Glinda is super pretty and I love all of the shades in there.. I also didn't need the Theodora palette but how can I pass on Urban Decay products?! Plus it's LE.. haha the red lip pencil has got to be my favorite!
DeleteThese are both so beautiful. If I had to pick, I'd have picked the Glinda palette. Unfortunately, the Glinda palette is way too light for my skin. That red lip is intriguing, though not enough to get the whole Theodora palette!
ReplyDeleteHello there! Both of the eye shadows are GORGEOUS! i would pick the Glinda palette for the eye shadows but I really wished that they put the bright red pencil in the Glinda palette since it only contains soft pastel eye shades (which would go great with a bold bright red) and Theodora's palette contains more bold eye shadows (which would compliment the nude lips)..
Deleteamazing pictures as always! i would choose theodora's because the eye shadows seem more earth toned :)
ReplyDeleteHi Emily! If you’re looking for neutrals then I would suggest getting their Naked, Naked 2, or Naked Basics palette (if you don’t own them already).. I do love the greens in the Theodora palette though! I’ll be selling (2) Naked Palettes, (1) Naked 2 Palettes, and (2) Naked Basics on my blog sale tomorrow!
DeleteGREAT pics & review! I really wanted these palettes, but I have so many UD shadows that they're very similar to ones I already one, so I couldn't justify the $50 price tag :/
ReplyDeleteHi.. thank you so much for reading and following! I own over 10 UD palettes and several of their single eye shadows but I just can’t seem to have enough of them =[ The palettes are gorgeous and limited edition + the extras (eye liner and lip pencil) is really nice.. but if the eye shadows are dupe-able in your stash then that is a reasonable answer ;]
DeleteOh my God!!! I want Theodora now!!! Thanks so much for taking the time to make such a great post! xx
ReplyDeleteHey! Thank you so much! Theodora is so pretty especially that bright red lip pencil.. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
DeleteI would definitely go for Theodora's palette. :]
ReplyDeleteI am now lusting after that red lip pencil..so creamy looking! ♥

Hi!! The bright red lip pencil is heaven.. I love how wearable it is without it being too overpowering! Plus, it makes my teeth looks white.. hehe
DeleteOuu I love the glinda set :) All those swatches pack so much punch :)
ReplyDeleteSteph // fun size beauty
The Glinda eye shadows are awesome and so so pretty! I just wish that it came with a deep lip shade since the majority of the eye shadows are all soft pastels.
Deleteahhh so pretty!!! i would have gotten both too just to get the set! but i am slightly leaning towards Theodora since they are colors i'd more likely use. which one do you prefer? thanks for the amazing photos!
ReplyDeletetotally what I did.. =) hehe Theodora is an ideal palette since it contains browns but Glinda is soooo pretty with its soft pastel shades.. but Theodora's lip pencil is freaking AMAZING... I would totally recommend Glinda all the way since I already own a lot of brown eye shadow.. but don't get me wrong 'cause I love both! hah
Deletei love theodora palette more, but i wish it come with the nude lip color :(
ReplyDeletethe bright red is sooo gorgeous though! ;) hehe it would've been nice if we could've picked which shade of lip pencil we wanted.. right?!? so much work for UD though if it ever happened in the future.. haha
DeleteOh, goodness!
ReplyDeleteI keep flip-flpping on these. Now I think I really, really want both of them.
they're so beautiful that's why! i love them both.. i honestly think that you should get both if you want it ;D
DeleteI have Theodora but after seeing the swatches of Glinda - it is a must. Wonderful review :)
