Urban Decay Eye Shadow

I purchased an eye shadow set for about £15 that included around 12 shades as I was really keen to try out this brand, but thought their individual eye shadow prices were a bit expensive for me.

The gift box was really very pretty with an attached mirror and little drawer that you can pull out to reveal the shadows. The colours included black, browns, greens, blues and purples, most of them fairly glittery.

I was really impressed with how easily these colours went on and blended, they're very bold so great for nights out!

Never do I really buy expensive make-up. I was at my sister's house and she ranted and raved about her new eye shadow set she bought. I wasn't quite interested until she brought me upstairs and put some smokey, dusty, brown colour on my eyelids. It did not look how other eye shadows looked on me, it really made my eyes stand out a lot more which made me quite happy as I have small eyes and always dreamt of having that extra something to make them stand out. As I was so excited about this, I wanted to go out and buy it and asked about the price, at first I was shocked at how expensive it was however this is the first eye shadow make-up that has made my eyes look really nice so I thought I would spend the cash.

This Urban Decay set has 9 different colours to chose from and they all look so nice depending on what look you are going for. The colours are fishnet, honey, ransom, graffiti, zero, peace, shag, scratch and underground. Now your probably wondering what exactly are those colours well starting from fishnet. Fishnet is an iridescent purple shade, honey is a glistening gold shade, ransom is a vibrant purple shade, graffiti is a bright green shade, zero is a smoking black shade, peace is a shimmering turquoise shade, shag is a light bronze shade, scratch is a light pink champagne shade, and finally underground is a medium fawn shade. Quite a lot to chose from I'd say wouldn't you? No matter what look your going for this urban decay set will have you kitted out and looking chic no matter what the occasion is.

The colours from Urban Decay Eye Shadow are really vibrant but I find that the dusty texture means the pigment gets everywhere, therefore I wouldn't recommend.

I love the fact that the Urban Decay eyeshadows have such a wide range of beautiful colours and finishes- at least one to look fabulous everyone- match every personality. The colour remains vibrant and lasts long. The the best eyecolour range I've come across.

Lovely rich colour - huge choice of colours, easy to blend - stays on for hours - Love this - all colours are rich and stay on for ages

Most of the colors are sheer, so they have to be used wet to get a better color payoff, even if you use the primer potion. The shadows with the glitter MUST be used wet, otherwise you will have glitter all over your face, and still may even if used wet.Another bad point- PRICE. $16 for a single eyeshadow is a little steep, even though it will last a long time.

I love Urban Decay eye Shadow. All of their shades are beautiful, but some have way too much glitter. The glitter then sticks to your face, which I guess in some cases looks quite cool, but it's a pain in the neck when you just want the eyeshadow on your lids.

Urban decay eyeshadows are the best. Even though they are a bit pricey, they are well worth it. They do not budge at all unlike some. They have every shade imaginable and they are all gorgeous. I would recommend to anyone!!!!
