Urban Decay Holiday 2013

[mauu]

My only complaint? Why is there 2 blushes and 1 highlighter?! Why couldn't they make it 1 bronzer, 1 blush, and 1 highlighter?! >.< & quit putting Zero in every single palette. They could've easily made an exclusive deep purple eyeliner and threw it in this kit to make people more excited. I'm working on the review at the moment for my blog and I will be posting it around 12AM /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I can see where you're coming from but I'm actually really happy that they didn't include a bronzer because all bronzers that come in palettes end up being way too dark for me. A bronzer would've been a total waste of money but I can definitely get use out of two blushes. Now Zero, on the other hand, is a pretty boring choice, I agree. Of course I can see why they included it (black is a safe and universal shade) but a more colorful shade would've been nice. P.S. Thank you for the pics!

So true! Just a personal preference on the blush and bronzer stuff. The blushes are REALLY REALLY REALLY nice though and I thought that UD did an awesome job with choice of colors. Zero on the other hand is universal but I'm pretty sure that everyone owns one by now. I have 3 minis and a full size but I'll be doing a giveaway soon and guess where the mini zeros will be going /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> it's ALWAYS zero & perversion and i always buy their stuff so it gets a bit too much when you have 3-4 pencils in that particular shade.. Haha and not a problem! Just waiting to post Anarchy's swatches /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I look at the black liners in UD kits this way: Dude, you're *Urban Decay*. Everyone makes black liners. Not everyone makes shimmery navy/deep violet/blackened emerald liners. Go with something unique. One of the best things about the Alice in Wonderland palette was the fact that there was a *turquoise* pencil.

I agree 100%. I'm SOOOOO sick of Zero (and demolition). I have like 3-4 of them. UD needs to ban the inclusion of Zero in any of their sets from this point on. If they want people to buy sets like Ocho Loco, they should include similar colors in their other sets to give people a taste of those bold colors. I was scared of wearing bold colors until I got a blue eyeliner in a set that I brought and loved it.

  I hope they start selling Vintage Heavy Metal liners soon.   And I want them to make gel eyeliners in FUN colors and ones with glitter.   And I want a Moondust palette. And a fun matte palette - Vice Matte.   Too bad I don't work for Urban Decay.

Those are great ideas! I would love a moondust palette too.

I'm also waiting for them to update their sale section!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> oooh moondust! I have 2 and I love them a loooot! Urban Decay liners are really pretty and I love using them since they have a variety of shades and finishes.. Really easy go work with and it can be used as an eyeshadow base, liner, etc! =) never regretted buying the eyeliner vault from them.. Speaking of Ocho loco 2; i want it =(

I noticed this last week, I made 2 orders on the same day and got tracking for one order from MD the next day, and didn't get tracking from UT until 3 days after I made the order. The funny part is that both orders actually ended up arriving on the same day lol.

In other news, my Vice 2 palette should be here tomorrow, I'm super excited!! I'm in class until 7PM so I'm glad to have something to look forward to when I finally get home

Yup, I'm impatiently waiting for F&F, too.  I pretty much want everything limited edition...Vice 2, Ocho Loco 2, Black Market, and the Face Case.  If you ordered all of those during F&F, you would save $39.60 (assuming 20%).

I am however tempted to hold off on Black Market & the Face Case. The last 2 years Sephora had really nice "IT Kits" around the holiday...in may be more strategic to wait for that and get two Kits in two orders.  Plus, Sephora has points and eBates...

Ugh. Choices!

Same here. I'm torn on whether I want the 20% off or Sephora points and cash back. Or I could buy the stuff from Ulta and hit platinum. Ummm...first world problems lol

[MissTrix]

I just saw on Ulta's fb page that they should have Vice 2 online tomorrow and in-stores on Thursday. I'm waiting to hear back if Shattered will also be available on these dates. I feel like I've been waiting forever for Ulta to get them! I'm so excited!!
