URBAN DECAY SUSTAINABLE SHADOW BOX

HEY CHICAS, I hope everyone is enjoying the sun we're getting! I'm going to show you this gorgeous Urban Decay eyeshadow palette which I picked up for £20 (reduced from £27 because the primer potion was missing, how cool?!). It's not one that I'd heard of before, being in a wooden box I'm sure that's where the name 'Sustainable Box' came from. I really like the packaging as it's nice and solid whilst looking quite quirky. It opens by sliding the lid to the side, which took my blonde brain a few seconds to figure out as I tried to yank the lid up!


These shades are sooo pigmented and I love the colour range. It's cool that this palette inludes both neutrals and brights. The browns work perfectly with eachother to create a smokey look and the other colours compliment eachother nicely too. I adore the bluey/green colours as well because they're not garish, in fact they're actually very pretty!

Here's the swatches for you to see each one up close and personal ;)

As you can see, every single shade is a beauty. I will be experimenting with different eye looks soon, using all of these shadows so I will show you what I come up with.
You can get this palette here.
I would love to add to my little Urban Decay collection. I have a few of their single eyeshadows and this makes me realise that it's waaay more economical to but the palettes...I think the singles are around £14/15 and the palettes range from £25 to £40 and you get 10-15 shadows.

Do you have any UD palettes? I'm so tempted with the naked/naked 2 but I'm not sure whether it's necessary haha. I'd love to hear your views on their products :)

Have a fab Saturday night everyone! X

    1. It's always the way! Yeah the box is good, I'm trying hard to keep all of the shadows looking neat (something I always do with new palettes, then it eventually goes to shit!) xx
