Urban Decay's Oz Palettes

I finally received my Oz palettes from Urban Decay in the mail!!  I really tried to resist buying these, but in the end, the shadow colors and packaging won me over.  As always, the shadows are pigment packed and smooth to apply.  The only issue I had was glitter fallout from Spell and Oz, but I always have glitter fallout issues with Urban Decay's glitter shadows cause they're packed with soooo much glitter.  However, I figure if I use a glitter primer like Too Faced's Glitter Glue, the glitter will probably stay better.  Each palette comes with 2 duo shade shadows and 4 full sized shadows for a total of 8 shadows in each.  The shadows in the Theodora palette are Broken (pale cream satin), Beware (warm brown matte), Bewitch (dark charcoal brown satin), and West (deep metallic brown shimmer), with the two duo shadows being Spell (black satin with green and gold shimmer and gold metallic with tonal glitter), and Jealous (pale green pearl and dark green pearl).  The shadows in the Glinda palette are Tornado (vibrant deep purple shimmer), Magic (pinkish purple with golden shimmer), Illusion (pale peach satin), and South (warm pale gray shimmer with silver micro-glitter),with the two duo shadows being  Aura (iridescent white with blue shift and iridescent white with red shift), and Oz (gold with gold glitter and silver with silver glitter).  Both palettes came with a Super Saturated High Gloss Color; A bright cream red with Theodora and a light sheer beige with Glinda.  Both of the high gloss colors went on smoothly and I loved both of them.   Both palettes also came with a 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil (I didn't swatch those), Theodora in Zero (black) and Glinda in Rockstar (purple) and a step by step how to create the look from the film card.   Both palettes are also the build your own palette format, so you can take out all the shadows and replace them with others if you want.  LOTD's on Theodora and Glinda palettes tomorrow!

Urban Decay's Vice Palette

One of my makeup vices...Urban Decay of course, and their new Vice palette is gorgeous!!!  This palette boasts 20 never before seen shadows (brand new! not just renamed...hello, Alice in Wonderland palette) in an array of mattes, shimmers, brights, satins, and neutrals.  Great for the color timid or color crazy!  I found the colors all highly pigmented with the exception of the sparkly shades, those were still pigmented but weren't as dense as the other shadows.  They're super blendable and won't fade as the day wears on.  The jeweled case is beautiful and I love how the lid slowly opens with the push of a button.  Everytime I press it, I hear "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"   The case does pick up oil easily though, so don't put lotion on your hands and then pick it up...you'll leave greasy finger prints (learned that the hard way).  So, the colors are Desperation (greyish taupe brown matte-satin), Muse (dark reddish brown w/golden and multidimensional shimmer), Jagged (matte black base w/gold metallic), Blitz (bright gold metallic), Penny Lane (bronze metallic w/gold glitter), Junkie (dark green-blue w/gold shimmer), Chaos (vibrant royal blue w/very subtle shimmer), Unhinged (electric turquoise blue metallic), Occupy (dark grey-blue metallic), Black Market (dark charcoal black matte-satin), Provocateur (light greyish pink w/lots of multidimensional glitter), Rapture (dark greyish purple w/multidimensional shimmer), Vice (dark eggplant w/subtle red shimmer), Noise (dark reddish-pink metallic w/big gold glitter), Armor (greyish brown metallic w/silver micro-glitter), Nevermind (light taupey-brown shimmer), Echo Beach (light wheat-champagne shimmer), Anonymous (light whitish-pink nude matte), Freebird (light peachy-pink w/silver micro-glitter) and Laced (pinky-taupe matte).   Colors I love so far; Blitz, Penny Lane, Junkie, Chaos, Unhinged, Vice, and Nevermind.  Colors not so loved; Jagged (thought I would love it, glitter killed it), Armor (again, damn glitter), and Freebird (guess why).  I love glitter, but it seems to just kill the color.  This palette also comes with their Good Karma double ended brush, which is a nice bonus.

All in all I love this palette, I just have two complaints...uno, the price...not everyone has $59 to shell out on a palette and dos, some of the eyeshadows are really soft, which is good for blendablility, but bad for fall out and accidently gouging your shadows.  If it falls, bye bye pretty eyeshadows.  Anywho, here's the swatches.

 Pretty Package, love the jeweled letters

 

Love the big mirror!  Thank goodness for no crazy frills this time like the last palette.

All the gorgeous shadows! Row one; desperation, muse, jagged, blitz, penny lane. Row two; junkie, chaos, occupy, unhinged , black market.  Row three; provacateur, rapture, vice, noise, armor.  Row four; nevermind, echo beach, anonymous, freebird, laced.
