Urban Decay Feminine Palette


FEMININE, DANGEROUS, FUN

EYESHADOW PALETTES




This first post is for you girls out there and the occasional boy that likes to wear makeup. So I was wondering around Ulta with my younger sister and came across this. Urban Decay has come out with 3 new Spring eye shadow palettes. There names our Feminine, Dangerous and Fun.

FEMININE, DANGEROUS, FUN EYESHADOW PALETTES


All complete opposites right? Urban Decay offers trend-setting cosmetics from eye shadow, lip gloss, eyeliner ect. The way they package there products sells me at the first glance. It is the cutest packaging. Everything is so unique to the point where you dont want to open it becuase your worried about ruining it. If you like the way Benefit packages there products then you will love Urban Decays.

So when I got the choice between the Feminine, Dangerous an Fun palette I was hesitant on which one to choose. ALL of the palettes come with 6 eye shadows, 1 Urban Decay 24/7 glide on eyeliner and 1 mini Urban Decay primer potion. The eye shadows are 0.03 oz which the normal Urban Decay eye shadows are 0.05 oz which isn't a big difference. The 24/7 glide on eyeliners are also 0.03 oz and the regular Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliners are 0.04 oz which again isn't a big difference. And the mini Primer Potion is 0.13 fl oz and the normal size is 0.34 fl oz but do keep in mind that is is listed as a mini. The palettes each go for $34.00 which amazes me because when you buy a eye shadow from urban decay it is normally $17.00. The 24/7 glide on eyeliner is normally $18.00. And the "mini" urban decay primer is normally $8.00. So if you were to buy everything individually it would be $128.00. That is insane! You are saving $94.00 buying the palette. 

www.urbandecay.com says the following about these palettes:


"We like to describe everything we create as being feminine, a little dangerous, and a lot of fun. These eyeshadow palettes speak to your inner mojo. Filled with six handpicked eyeshadows, Eyeshadow Primer Potion and 24/7 Eye Pencil, they coax your personality into doing all the talking. How do you roll?

I ended up choosing the Feminine Palette which I absolutely love!!! It comes with the shadows Stray Dog, SWF, Midnight Cowboy, Aquarius, Darkhorse and Ecstacy. The 24/7 glide on eyeliner is in the color zero which is the blackest black. And the "mini" primer is eden which is a matte based primer.

First of I want to talk about the packaging which i found amazing. The front of it is lavender and has UD in felt and "The feminine palette" in a metallicy purple with peacock feathers coming off of it. The sides are a really pretty floral pattern. The back is also lavender with a darker purple peacock feathers which are felt. The top of the inside around the mirror are purple peacock feathers and the bottom surrounding the shadows and eyeliner is that pretty floral pattern.
























I found that the eye shadows are pigmented as always. And all of the eyeshadows are available for individual purchase except for darkhorse. Heres a mini review of the eye shadows Stray Dog, SWF, Midnight Cowboy, Aquarius, Darkhorse and Ecstacy.


Medium dark brown tope with a medium pink in it. Very pigmented.
Very pale shimmery pink. Very pigmented

Pale peach beige with silver glitter.  Glitter falls out and can be hard to work with but is very pigmented.


Green based teal with shimmer reflexes. Very pigmented.

Dark chocolate brown with suttle golden bronze sheen. Very pigmented.

Metallic era decent purple. Very pigmented.

All six shades were great in terms of pigmentation and texture. Expect for the occasional glitter fall out but they were smooth and easy to apply.


The 24/7 glide on eyeliners are amazing. They're probably one of my favorite eyeliners. They glide on so smooth and are a very creamy constancy. It came with the color zero which is the blackest Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner.




Last but not least is the "mini" eyeshadow primer which comes in Eden. If you don't know urban Decay has 3 shadow primers. Original which is a clear invisible shade. Sin which is a shimmery champagne base. And Eden which is a mate based light concealer shade.

Over all I love this palette and I would recommend this to all of you.

Bye for now!
