Urban Decay The Black Palette

I know that I have been a Hardcore Mac Lover for a very Long time; but I think it's time to explore new things.

I've been tempted in buying UD eyeshadows since I've read very good reviews about them.

So I decided to give them a try.

My First exploring item is

TADAAAA!

Urban Decay The Black Palette

Product Description

Eyeshadows dipped in black. Dangerous sparkly-shift jewel tones plus sooty matte black shadow assure your place in rockstar history.

My Opinion

For all you Smokey Eye Lovers this is for you.

For a dramatic look these are perfect.

These eyeshadows as they are described, they are dipped in black but have a sparkly very fined glittery finish. They are silky smooth, easy to work with.

Great color pigmentation and lasting power.  

Look even better if used with a color base to pop it's hidden color.

I purchased this palette because I missed the Mac Venomous Villains Collection.

I really liked the Maleficent MSF ES's and I thought these can be a close match to them.

Everytime I think of MSE I think way too much shimmer and fallout. Although the previous MSE like the ones from In the Groove Collection were actually not too shimmery at all, I actually liked them. This is why I was so bummed out about missing the Venomous Collection. :(

 But these UD are very nice after all.

Cons-To me it is a great palette for a dramatic smokey eye lover, but if I don't use these colors with a color base to make the colors pop, my eyeshadow will turn into a completely black look. =(

If anyone has any tips on how to use this palette, Pleaseee Let Me know..

I am tempted in taking it back.

Item Descriptions

Black Dog-Deep Dark Black very matte

Barracuda-Blackened gunmetal w/silver tones

Jet-Dark-Deep Purple w/pink-red shimmer. Not the purple I was looking for though.

Sabbath-Dark Blue with blue specs

Cobra-Golden Olive w/gold specs I like this color alot.

Libertine-Dark Deep Green w/green specs reminds me of my Mac Grand Entrance from The Holiday Collection Warm Eyes 2008

UDPP in Eden- I really LOOVED this primer as its texture is like a concealer and it just creates a good canvas for your eyeshadow. My eyeshadow lasted all day and it was kept intact. I will buy a full sized one ASAP.

UD 24/7 glide-on eye pencil in Zero- This was easy to apply but the color pigmentation wasn't that great for me. This was a bummer because I heard so many great things about this liner.

I still prefer and will stick to my Avon Dual Ended Liner.

Thanks for Stopping by and I hope this review was helpful

LUV LAURA!!
