15-YEAR ANNIVERSARY EYESHADOW COLLECTION!

Ok everyone, earlier this week Urban Decay launched their fall collection and are also celebrating their 15th birthday. I was able to purchase the eyeshadow palette before it sold out.
This palette has 15 BRAND NEW colors and can only be found in this beautiful box. I do not believe this is going to be a permanent item, so get it while you can! You can go here: http://www.urbandecay.com/15-year-anniversary-eyeshadow-collection/308,default,pd.html and request to be notified when more are in stock. I think Sephora and Ulta will be carrying this item as well, but I'm not 100% sure.

I can not say enough how impressed I am with this palette! The packaging is truly one of a kind and absolutely amazing! The box sits in a deep purple velvet holder, and the top of box itself is a faint gunmetal color with purple jeweled ud on it. The sides have a unique design and the bottom half of the box is a faint purple color.



When you open the box you see the gorgeous palette which has a range of neutral shades, bright fun colors, and deep darker colors. You will notice in the bottom right corner there is a space so you can lift the tray out of the box. Under the eyeshadow tray is a layer of deep purple velvet in which you can use to hide jewelry or other small objects! This is great because it isn't just useless packaging. You can reuse it as a jewelry box or what so ever after the palette is gone!



Now onto what really matters-the eyeshadow itself! I was skeptical to buy this palette because of the neutral and dark shades (which did not disappoint & are amazing) since I have the Naked palette and felt I could live without those, BUT all the BRIGHT colors in the middle row is what won me over and convinced me to purchase this palette. I felt I would regret it if I didn't have those bright colors (I don't have many brights to begin with that are well pigmented).


*No primer was used when swatching the colors*

When I first looked at the palette after opening, I had to tear my eyes away since I was filming or I would have stared at it much longer! haha. Each color I could spend a minute looking at just to see all the different colors and aspects that make the shadow. The pictures/video of the swatches do not do justice-all the colors look so incredible in person. Almost all the shadows have shimmer, so if you're not a fan of that I would not recommend this product. Most of the colors have a gold shimmer/glitter and there are even 2 duo chrome colors(Junkshow&Omen)! The list goes from the dark row to the color row to the neutral row
DARK:
Deeper- a shimmery golden brown
M.I.A.- soft shimmery dark brown
Ace-dark gunmetal shimmer
Blackout- darkest, most saturated black
Half Truth- shimmery smoky purple



COLOR:
Tainted- pale matte purple with golden shimmer
Junkshow- bright pink w/fuchsia shift
Omen- shimmery metallic bright purple w/blue shift
