Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Eyeshadow palette

 Urban Decay Gwen Stefani eyeshadow palette

Price: $60

(Sale as of 12/27/15: $39)

      This palette is the Urban Decay Gwen Stefani limited edition eyeshadow palette. It comes with 15 amazing, smooth and buttery shadows.  Recently though this palette has gone on sale for $49!!!  (As of 12/27/15)  That's a great deal!  And for those who are in Hawaii, you can find it on sale at the Sephora in Waikiki.
      I think that this palette is very neutral and you can easily create a day to night look with this.  It also comes with some color so you can glam up you eye look with a hint of a color.  The eyeshadows are also smooth and easy to blend out.  I especially love the pigmentation on these.

Overall this is a fun palette to play with.  It has a bunch of neutrals which are great for a day makeup eye look.  Or you can change it up for a night look.  You can also add a fun pop of color to brighten up your look.

Urban decay oz the great and powerful glinda palette

Urban decay oz the great and powerful palette in glinda.

Price: $50 ($24 on sale on the urban decay website)

This glinda palette was a limited edition palette from sephora.  This palette also has an elphaba version.  These palettes ran for $50 at sephora.  But, recently this palette was $24 on the urban decay website.  This palette comes with 6 eyeshadow pans that you can remove.  However, 2 of the shadow pans have duo shadows making this palette have a total of 8 eyeshadows.  This palette also comes with an eyeliner and lipgloss.

The box of this glinda palette is very elegant and matches glinda well.

This palette is made out of a tin metal that snaps together to close.  It has a mirror along with the 6 eyeshadow pans and the eyeliner.

*illusion shadow*

*oz shadow*

*south shadow*

*swatches*

I swatched all 8 of the eyeshadows.  All the shadows are glittery but they are all nice shadows for an everyday use.

*rockstar eyeliner*

This eyeliner is one of my favorites.  It is a super creamy and long lasting eyeliner that glides on your eyes easy.  When you look at the eyeliner it looks like a very dark color, but when applied it is a nice eggplant color that looks better than a black eyeliner.

*lipgloss*

This lipgloss glides on your lips smootht and has a light shimmery gloss finish.  This color is a pinky nude color.  Since I have pretty pigmented lips this color doesnt show to much.  Instead it shows up as a glossy finish with a hint of a nude color.

Overall this palette is a great palette.  I totally wanted this palette when it came out, but when I went back to get it, they were all sold out.  I am glad that urban decay had this palette on sale!  It beats paying for the full price(:  But I love the color selection and the items that this palette comes with.
