"Another Urban Decay palette?! I don't even own the 15th Anniversary one yet!" I stated that to myself last night when I read over on Temptalia that there's yet another UD palette coming out.
Image from Temptalia.com.
The latest palette is the Book of Shadows Vol. 4 which is set to launch on August 20th at a New York City Sephora. The cost for this bad girl? $64.00! Ouch! It's priced higher than the 15th Anniversary palette by $9 but you get lots of little goodies with it such as:
The eyeliner alone retails for $18. The travel size primer retails for $9 while the full size retails for $18 ("vintage" bottle, the tubes are $19). I don't think they retail the travel size mascara but the full size one is like $20 so the retail of mini would probably be $10. So if you discount the cost for all the eyeliner, mascara and primer the shadows are only $27 which is a fantastic price. (Yes, I'm trying to justify the price in my head as an excuse to order it. lol)
Now I know Temptalia.com states on her page that there are 10 brand new colors but I counted 11.
What's the one color I'm mistaking for new? Oh, it's Skimp that's not a new shadow. I don't own this and it's no longer sold at UrbanDecay.com, Sephora.com or Ulta.com. Since I'm still newish (less than a year old) customer to Urban Decay I've never seen it until now. So those of you, like me, who are newer customers to UD this will be a new color to you too unless you're lucky enough to either found Skimp online or through a previous palette.
It's a gorgeous palette that's making me look under sofa cushions to scrape up money to get it but between that and the 15th Anniversary palette I'm seriously going to put a dent in my beauty budget for the new couple of months! Hmm... maybe I can justify buying this as a couple of birthday presents to myself then? LOL
Here's a look at the 15th Anniversary to compare colors. Image is also from Temptalia's site since I don't own this bad girl either. This retails for $55.
The 15 new shadows in this palette are:
If I did my math right the two palettes are $119 for the two and you're getting 25 new shades that are exclusive to the two palettes plus all the other goodies that comes with BoS4. Oh the temptation! The temptation! The little devil that sits on my right shoulder keeps whispering, "get it! GET IT!" while the little angel on my left says, "save your money!" I think the little devil might win this battle. lol
