I am heartbroken because I really wanted to treat myself! It may just be my inability to do combos. I love UD E/S but I feel the shimmery accents my 30something eyes too much...lol That's UD shadows for you.... they're known for glitter and shimmer. Only 4 of them are really glittery though... the rest are shimmery. UD should do a palette with their matte shadows next year. That would probably be a big seller. I don;t like mattes, but I love UD matte shadows! I hope you enjoy your purchase... if not maybe exchange it for something else. The Lorac Croc Case is really nice.
 
I used mine all the time. I think it looks glittery, but the consistently doesnt seem very glittery on. If that makes sense?

 
Thank you everyone for understanding!! I did play around today and came up with a nice look that I liked. I have a hard time being good to myself and since I don't have a job I worry about everything I get! I think the value is unbeatable for this pallette. I just needed someone to convince me..lol

I like UD because of the shimmer unique color factor, why I bought this... but it is a little too much for the daytime... which is why I bought the Lorac Croc as well! but mostly because I am an addict.

It's not that I think I am too old for it, but my eyelids are starting to age, therefore I am afraid of calling attention! I need some firming cream, but that's for another thread!

 
Now that I own this... I have to say- the little flip top of the pop-ups sort of bugs me- absolutely no purpose other than raising prices.. I love every color in this and I think this may be the best collection of shadows from any of their palettes, but the drawer sticks and I would rather have a flip up top for easier access than a drawer.

Def favorite of the pack: Absinthe- it's just the most awesome shimmery green to exist ever.

Ah, I have myself to blame. I was waiting for it to go on sale. I guess popular items really don't make it to that point. :

The Absinthe shade is to die for. The pictures don't do it justice. I wish they'd come out with an eyeshadow single of this. Unfortunately I never buy these palettes. I'm more of a MAC custom palette gal or I buy singles and pop them in.

I'm not too big on the bronzy gold colors. Not sure why they're so popular.

 
I must have been pms'ing when I was down on my BOS....I love it now and actually the gold bronzy color is one of my top 3 in the pallette! I think it compliments my eye/hair color nicely.

Urban Decay has this on their site right now, but they only have 60. I check an hour ago, and they were still in stock for those who missed out the first time.

Thanks lolab and ninalovesmakeup... though nina, I don't see it on the web site. It is on the UK version. Do you have the link?
