Wow. Let me first start off by saying that this was one of thee greatest birthday presents ever. Although I got it at the beginning of April, I have spent a lot of time experimenting with it and trying out all the beautiful colors.
This palette comes in a very pretty case. It's purple, and has a metal decal design on the front. I could keep myself occupied for hours simply playing with the front. About 4 inches tall, 5 inches wide, and 3/4ths of an inch thick, it's quite small and convenient to keep in your purse or a bag.
It consists of 9 basic colors:
- Fishnet: Hot pink/magenta, with some iridescent flecks.
- Honey: Mustard yellow/gold, depending on how you apply it and what colors you apply it with.
- Ransom: A nice plum purple, but it looks more lilac rather than violet when you put it on.
- Graffiti: Bright green, a bit on the sea green side.
- Zero: Jet black, works extremely well in the crease because it doesn't show up as black necessarily. When you combine it with another color, it adds depth and really just darkens the color.
- Peace: Very bright blue. It shows up exactly as it looks while it's still in the tray, and can be paired with nearly any other color and it looks beautiful.
- Shag: A bronze/orange, almost gold even.
- Scratch: Champagne, or brownish-pink. Works extremely well as a highlight.
- Underground: Dark shimmery brown, looks beautiful and simple as a neutral eye.
Matching these colors with your clothes is really easy, because there's always at least one color that will go with something on your outfit. They can all be blended together really well, too.
In my opinion, I would say that the brightest colors are definitely Peace, Graffiti, and Fishnet. Shag, Scratch, and Underground are PERFECT colors for a neutral outfit. They would be perfect for something like a job interview, as they add a nice shimmer but don't overdo it.
Honey works really well on the inner corner of the eye and even on the brow bone as a highlight, but VERY subtly. If you put on too much of it, it makes you look sickly.
The whole palette costs about $35 at Sephora, or you can buy it at Urbandecay.com. It comes with the 9 colors, 2 double-sided eyeshadow appliers, and a tiny tube of Urban Decay's highly renowned Primer Potion*. Slap some of that on before you apply ANY brand of eyeshadow and it pretty much guarantees it to stay on all day long.
MY RANKING: 4.5 out of 5
So tell me, what do you think of it? What would you do if you had access to these colors?
XOXO
*The UDPP holds a LOT more of the potion than it seems. When you are completely convinced it's all out, take a knife and cut it in half. Not joking. There will be more than half left. Scoop it out and put it in an empty makeup container so it doesn't go to waste. :)
