Urban Decay Vice 2 swatches

I got this palette awhile ago, but I've been lazy about swatching lately lol.  I love this palette; the colors are all beautiful, there isn't one I do not like.  All 20 shades are new and exclusive to this palette.  There's Smokeout (dark taupey-black satin), Lovesick (black matte w/iridescent micro-glitter), Shellshock (bright metallic silver), Coax (medium metallic pink w/golden iridescent micro-sparkle), X-Rated (baby pink satin), Prank (deep navy matte w/turquoise floating pearl), Madness (bright metallic blue shimmer w/blue micro-glitter), Strike (antique gold shimmer w/silver micro-glitter), Stash (deep olive green shimmer w/iridescent micro-sparkle), Poison (charcoal satin w/iridescent micro-sparkle), Radar (metallic brown shimmer w/iridescent micro-glitter), Damaged (bright metallic emerald shimmer), Voodoo (metallic purple shimmer w/iridescent purple micro-glitter), Betrayal (bright purple satin w/blue shift), Derailed (medium metallic taupey-brown shimmer), Dope (warm champagne satin), Toxic (metallic copper-pink shimmer w/tonal micro-glitter), Habit (light nude matte), Ambush (metallic brown satin) and Rewind (medium brown matte).*  All apply easily, but some are really soft (like Radar and Shellshock) so be prepared for fallout when applying.  Most have really good color payoff, but some take a little more effort to build color (Habit, X-Rated).  The color is great once you build it though.  The palette comes with a double ended brush as well...not great for applying, but works well for blending and crease color.  All in all, it's a beautiful palette, well worth the $59 to me, I'll use all of the colors eventually, and I love it!  Here's the swatches!  What's your favorite color from this palette or color you're dying to play with?

Pretty, pretty palette

MAC Retro Matte

I was so excited about this collection and it didn't disappoint.  I love the colors (especially Flat Out Fabulous and Fashion Boost) and they last for hours (especially the ProLongwear Pencils)!  You'll definitely see these in future LOTD's!  Which color is your favorite?

Urban Decay's Oz Palettes LOTDs

Theodora Palette LOTD

 

This was my favorite palette of the two.  I love brown and green eyeshadows!  I used every shadow in the palette besides Spell...to me, Spell is kindof the odd shadow out.  It's pretty...but not as pretty as all the others...personal opinion :)

I love the colors in this palette, but my favorite color is Tornado.  Such a pretty purple!  I used every shadow in the palette besides Oz.  Oz is the odd shadow out in this palette.  Didn't feel like dealing with glitter today :)

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!
