Urban decay smoked palette review!



I bought this palette for $20 on sale at sephora not too long ago. I have used it quite a bit since then so I feel I can give a proper review. I absolutely LOVE this palette. Ever color is full of pigmentation, this palette also includes a full size 24/7 glide on pencil in perversion and a travel size of their original primer potion. The case is very sturdy, a nylon feeling exterior and it has a real full mirror inside. It has a zipper closure, making it travel friendly as well.



Here is a size comparison of the primer potion that is included. :)


From left to right: kinky, freestyle, mushroom, backdoor, blackout, barlust, rockstar, evidence, loaded and asphalt. Then the glide on pencil in perversion, a blackest black eyeliner.


Above are the swatches of the palette and the eyeliner is all the way to the right. 


Here is a head on shot of the look I created with this palette. (I'm using the too faced better than sex mascara) 


The shadows I used are kinky as a highlight, freestyle as a blending shade, mushroom all over my lid, barlust in my crease and asphalt in my outer corner :) 


I am also using the primer potion that it came with.



My final thoughts: I am completely in love. I think that for $20 this is a must have. It is a great way to play around with different smoky eye looks. This also comes with a booklet on how to create many different looks which I think is great for people. From experience this eyeliner is amazing, so smooth there is no dragging in application and it stays put. You can also set it with blackout for a super dark look that would last ALL day. The primer potion is also pretty amazing. I've worn this look for 10 hours with NO creasing. The colors are super pigmented and easy to blend. Overall, I would say go for it!
