Urban Decay, who doesn’t know that?
They always have the edgiest, and
attractive packaging for each palette they carry! Yep, and thanks to the
Friends and Family sale (all items 20% OFF!) back there in October.
This is my
very first eyeshadows palette from them. Even though the palette is only $10.8
after the FnF coupon applied, I still pay $17.5 for the shipping and handling
payment la ( T◊T ) Geez how I wish they soon would
be available here in Indonesia!
I love……..NO, SUPER LOVEEEEEE THE BOX.
It’s like a randomly sewed silver thread into a pretty yet edgy box. Made of a
hard cardboard too, so don’t worry about its safety once it falls.
Don’t—NEVER—try to drop it in purpose anyway!
There’s a card included in the plastic box
packaging, explaining the colors this palette carries. Seems so pretty eh? This
palette also has Vert (the green color) which has been discontinued. Yay!
It has mirror inside which is quite big
la, compared to the whole palette’s size. It comes with dual ended sponge
applicator too, which I prefer to a brush. Why do I sound so old-fashioned??
Soon you will know….why. And I bet you will agree with me.
Nine “smaller-than-dime” sized
eyeshadows....This palette is smaller than what I thought before (>__< “)
The name written for each shade is not too
visible, because it was written in silver, metallic silver, on a metallic
textured purple cardboard. Bah. It’s very hard to capture them in camera; thank
God this palette comes with a card which I talk about earlier.
Here are the swatches on my hand, without primer underneath :
Cherry - Midnight Cowboy Rides Again - Grifter - Vert - Oil Slick - Shattered - Blunt - Chopper - Twice Baked |
Cherry - Midnight Cowboy Rides Again - Grifter - Vert - Oil Slick |
Cherry is a very pale
pink with tiny silver sparkles, it’s almost white when swatched. It has great
pigmentation by the way, for such a light color!
Midnight
Cowboy Rides Again is a beige-champagne gold color, with gold sparkles. This
color has a very bad issue with fallout on me, and I couldn’t resist the
sparkles, as they’re very prone to fall out no matter you use a base
underneath. DUH!
Grifter is a medium
purple, lavender color. It also has tiny silver sparkles, but no fallout issues
with this color. It has decent pigmentation too.
Vert is the
discontinued color, the only reason why I want to buy this palette!!! It’s a
very beautiful green color, very pigmented also, with nice gold sheen which
makes a duochrome effect. It has no glitter.
Oil Slick - Shattered - Blunt - Chopper - Twice Baked |
Oil
Slick is a matte black, with a fair amount of silver glitter in it. It has
fallout issues too even just a little bit.
Shattered is a turquoise
color, with nice gold sheen—another duochrome effect—in it. I loveeeee this
color! It has buttery texture, sheer buildable color, and no fallout, no
glitter. YAY!
Blunt is a pretty warm
champagne color, with NO GLITTER! This is the no-glitter-version of Midnight
Cowboy Rides Again.
Chopper is a warm bronze
color, with tiny silver sparkles in it. It has a minor fallout issue, not as
bad as Midnight Cowboy Rides Again has.
Twice
Baked is a matte brown color with tiny silver sparkles, just like Oil Slick.
It has nice pigmentation and minor fallout issues.
Cherry
and Midnight Cowboy Rides Again have dry
texture, but you can still deal with Cherry.
Oil Slick and Chopper are sometimes dry and chalky too, but it’s still bearable.
The others are so buttery and smooth, they also have great pigmentation—just
like what they say about UD’s famous eyeshadows ♥

RATE
5.0/10
REPURCHASE?
Maybe? Only for Vert and Shattered!
CONCLUSIONS
This palette is not for matte lovers. Use
the sponge applicator, now you can thank them for including it instead of a
brush eh, and dab it to apply. Never swipe the colors on your lid because once
the glitter starts to fall out they will surely hurt your eyes, especially the
glitter from Midnight Cowboy Rides
Again! (;A; ) Some that I said have fallout issues with, were
slightly reduced after I used the color for several times. The top of the
eyeshadows were rather dry and chalky, but the more you use them the less
fallout issues you will get! A love and hate eh? Overall the pigmentation are
great, and I love it for travelling—maybe when I’m about to attend a party out
of the city since the colors mostly are glittery?
Do you have this palette? What do you
think about it? Drop your comments below, well Ciao for now~ ♥

Deletewadoh ternyata UD jg bs fall out >.< sayang bener pdhl lucuuu
ReplyDeleteiyaaa ce shelvi >.< duh, never buy their glittery products!
DeleteThis was my first palette I bought from them too! But it was like years ago. I found that with this you have to pat, with your fingers, the product on. Less fall outs. But yes this palette isn't for the everyday, very glittery type.
ReplyDeletereally? high five then! *plok*
Deleteyears ago means no discount right? well it's kinda pricey for the size actually if there's no discount :p
tried your suggestions and yes, it works! thank you! *kiss*
Lovely post~ & I have to admit that I wasn't hyped about this one. The colors don't really scream out to me T.T But none the less, still very pretty and UD shadows are always smooth and rich in color<3
