Let the drooling begin! Urban Decay, has some of the best packaging, hands down!

  • Kush Bright green
  • Loaded Deep emerald/black
  • Money Silvery pale green
  • Radium Bright blue

Of the 16 colors, 7 are new and all to die for! I have my eye on the Radium, Loaded, Haight and Money! I love me some blue and green shadows. Of the permanents, I starred the ones that I already have and know are in other palettes.

Getting palettes are the best way to get the most for your dollar! You get a good amount of product and the price is much less than purchasing each shadow individually.

Look for the palette this Holiday 2010 season at Macy’s, Sephora, ULTA, and urbandecay.com and will set you back $54!

If you just can’t wait…

As a tribute to NYC, Urban Decay will be hosting a one-day, sneak peek event at Sephora Times Square (1500 Broadway, #304) on Saturday, August 28th from 1 to 9PM where 1,000 pieces of the limited edition Book of Shadows Vol. III will be available for purchase on a first come, first served basis. The first 200 die-hard fans will also receive a limited edition Urban Decay t-shirt with their consultation.

Where: Sephora Times Square, 1500 Broadway #304, NYC, NY 10036

When: Saturday, August 28th, 1-9PM

Soooo anyone in NYC want to grab one of these for me!? Pleasssssse!

Review :: Urban Decay Naked Palette

Urban Decay’s Naked Palette is pretty much a hit! It is one of their best palettes that features a great set of neutral colors to compliment any eye color. Plus it features FIVE new shades!!

I didn’t realize that it was going to be so popular, and I’m not sure that Urban Decay did either. I hear that they are getting more at UrbanDecay.com and Sephora, but right now they are still available at Ulta.com. EDIT: Ulta is sold out now too. So if you want it bad enough, you can get it on eBay or wait until they are back in stock. If you sign up on UD or Sephora they will email you when they are back in stock and you can snatch one up!

From Urban Decay:

Shades range from delicate champagnes to dark, gritty gunmetal, and feature FIVE NEW shades with names like Darkhorse, Virgin and Buck. Urban Decay has also included a range of textures: everything from glitter to shimmer to matte.

The chocolatey velvet case is emblazoned with the word “NAKED” in gold foil lettering. (Just wait ’til your friends see you pull this sexy thing out of your bag. Jealous!) The mirrored case also includes Urban Decay’s first double-ended 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil, featuring Zero (Urban Decay’s award-winning black) and Whiskey, a NEW deep brown shade. Urban Decay has also included a travel size Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Urban Decay’s original formula.

This is a shadow palette EVERYONE can use, and a truly spectacular gift. Experiment with office-appropriate neutrals, summertime bronzy looks, or sultry smokiness. With such a diversity of neutral shades at your fingertips, you’ll show there’s more to neutral than meets the eye.

I will definitely be doing a tutorial with this palette… any ideas?
