Urban Decay | Feminine Palette | Review

The brand name 'Urban Decay' used to make me shy away from their products.
But when I saw this little beauty on sale at the check-out counter in Ulta, I couldn't resist.

 Now that I have tried some of their products I adore them! Especially this little palette. 

The exterior packaging is elegant with a bit of an edgy vibe.

The palette zips closed to keep the contents nice and safe.

 But what's inside is even more eye catching! 

First Impressions

It contains 6 eyeshadows and a travel sized Lip Junkie lip gloss.

The eyeshadows range from lighter colors like Bordello and Skimp to darker shades like AC/DC (beautiful in the crease of the eye), Gunmetal (perfect for smoky eye looks), Hijack and Lost 

The lip gloss is in the shade Wallflower.

The palette has a good sized mirror for on-the-go application. And the interior line design remind me of fishnet stockings.

My Thoughts on the Products

Eyeshadows:

Product: Eyeshadow palette

Shades & Colors:

Bordello (pearly, medium pink shimmer), Skimp (satin vanilla), AC/DC (purple-mauve shimmer),

Gunmetal (dark grey shimmer), Hijack (dark teal shimmer), Lost (metallic coppery-brown) 

Finish: Multiple: pearl, shimmer, satin, metallic

Formula: Pressed powder

True Pigment: Yes

Needs Layers: Not necessarily

Lasts for (without creasing): 4-5 hours without primer, 7-8 with primer

Fallout: Minimal

Blendable: Yes

Smooth Application: Yes

 Pros: These eyeshadows are very pigmented. The colors go on exactly the same shade as they appear in the palette.
 Cons: None.

Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5)

Repurchase: Yes

2019 Update: Although this palette is no longer available, all of the eyeshadow shades, with the exception of Skimp (try UD Vanilla), are available in single eyeshadow pots.

Also:

Some say Urban Decay shadows have a lot of fallout or fall down (term depends on where you're from, but you get what I mean; shadow falling under the eye). I have to say I've noticed minimal to no fallout at all.

Whether you use a primer on your lids or not (I've tried both ways) these shadows stay on super well. Very pleased with them. I can see these shadows lasting me quite a while because they're so pigmented.

Lip Gloss: 

Product: Lip Junkie Lip Gloss

Shade & Color: Wallflower (Nude pink)

Finish: Glossy

Formula: Gloss

True Pigment: Yes

Last for: 1-2 hours

Pros: This comes in a cute little tube and the color suites almost any occasion. 

It goes on smooth and doesn't feel very sticky which is a plus. 

It has a soft mint flavor with a cooling sensation. 

Cons: Only downside is the scent; it has a chemically mint smell. However it's not a strong scent and it disappears fast.

Star Rating: ⭐⭐⋆⋆⋆
Repurchase: No

Also:

 It says on the tube "Cools & Plumps" I have noticed the cooling sensation but not much plumping. When it fades it leaves a nice hint of color and doesn't dry my lips.

Final Thoughts

This little palette is so convenient and easy to carry. 

It provides the perfect range of colors to take you from day to night. And the price is a steal!

 A combination I like: Bordello all over the lid, Lost in the crease and Skimp on the browbone to highlight.

Overall Star Rating: I would give this product (shadows, gloss, palette) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⋆ (4 out 5 stars)

My love for Urban Decay is just beginning.
I keep drooling over the palettes and other products on their website.
