Makeup Review & Swatches : Urban Decay Sustainable Shadow Box

Second date!  Second date!  Second date with Urban Decay...as promised last week!

My Urban Decay Fairy Godmother presented me with Urban Decay Sustainable Shadow Box and I swooned when I saw the cool packaging. 



The palette is in an awesome wooden box which slides open on the top left hinge.  Now, that is just genius!  It's like none of my other eyeshadow palettes so yeah, the packaging impressed me before I even looked at what it contained!


There's definitely no disappointments with the contents of Urban Decay Sustainable Shadow Box.

10 eyeshadows - great colours and many combos to be created with them.  There's also a brush and side mirror to help you if you're out and about with this palette.  I didn't actually put the brush to the test but let's be honest here; it's not gonna be a killer brush but it's adequate for touch-ups on the go.

UDPP Is Magic


And ooh la la!  How cute is the mini Urban Decay Primer Potion?!!!  If you have oily eyelids and you haven't tried this yet, you are sorely missing out!  Not only does it make eyeshadows pop, it also prevents them from creasing so easily. 

BTW, according to Urban Decay, Urban Decay Sustainable Shadow Box is eco-friendly so woohoo, if you're an eco-lover!


From left to right : YDK (bronzed mocha with golden microglitter), Flipside (electric teal with blue sheen), Grifter (sheer lavender with lots of silver microglitter), Uzi (metallic silver with big iridescent sparkles), Twice Baked (brownie brown with gold glitter), Midnight Cowboy Rides Again (golden beige with bronze, gold, & silver glitter),  Flash (bright iridescent purple), Oil Slick (black with silver glitter),  Kiddie Pool (ocean blue with iridescent glitter),  Half Baked (subtle, lustrous bronze)

Likes
:  10 shades to choose from, comes with mini UDPP, mini brush and mirror, fab eco-friendly packaging

Dislikes
:   Mini UDPP runs out pretty quickly and if you've already got other UD palettes, you'll realise that there are some repeat shades

Overall
:  I love it!  But then again, I'm totally biased because I am a sucker for packaging and a sucker for cute dinky products like the mini UDPP.
