Urban Decay - Build your own palette!
Urban Decay have jumped on the palette bandwagon, but did they need to?
In conclusion it is a gorgeous palette but I don't think I would have gone ahead and purchased the palette with my own money if I wasn't sent it. However, I am very glad that I do own it as I LOVE the shades I chose and will still take it on holiday with me even though it's bulky as it's very sturdy.
Would I recommend it? No based on value for money, but yes if you are a lover of Urban Decay single eye shadows or you have a large wallet! I wish Urban Decay would do a discount for the eye shadows when purchased in conjunction with the palette. Hint hint!
What do you think of Urban Decay's 'Build your own palette'?

Urban Decay have launched a palette that has 6 slots for eye shadows of your choice, it comes with a free exclusive eyeshadow 'Walk of shame' plus a travel sized double ended eyeshadow brush and includes a mirror all for £14. Good Good. But...
The eye shadows are also £14 each, so to fill up the 5 spaces it would cost you £14 X 5 = £70. What? what? £70 for a palette? Hmmm, no bueno!!!
On a good note, the eye shadows slot in and out easily and still fit the old pans. The palette is similar to the Naked2 palette with its metallic casing that clicks closed.

Here's the shade I chose for my palette:
- Walk of shame - Ivory (Included with the palette)
- Chase - Gold
- Darkhorse - Brown
- Mushroom -Taupe
- Flash - Purple
- Loaded - Green/black
The eye shadows have been reformulated and repackaged. The pigmentation is AH-MAZING, just take a look at the swatches of the colours I chose!
However, the price for the palette is a very steep when you can pick up they ready made palette from Urban Decay for less than half the price with more shades, yes the colours wouldn't be full size, but that's OK with me.
Also, the size of the palette for 6 shadows, is a bit bulky in comparison to a Mac palette that fits 15 eye shadows or 26 with the divider taken out. It's even bulkier than the Naked 2 palette.

The palette seems way too bulky for me and there is no way I'd take that on holiday with me (and I'd get annoyed with it on my vanity). I'm the kind of person who finds a MAC quad large. I like packing super, super light! Not for me then. xo
