Urban Decay Ammo Eyeshadow Palette is one of my new loves.
A couple of months ago, the Urban Decay Fairy Godmother gifted me with not 1, not 2, but 3, yes 3 other eyeshadow palettes!!
When I opened the surprise package, I can confirm that there were plenty of *squees*! I am indeed a blessed beauty blogger!

What Urban Decay Say
This baby is a classic! We packed a smokin' mirrored compact with 10 of our best-selling shades. A must for any Urban Decay eyeshadow fan.
Review
Urban Decay is a brand I am familiar with - even though it is not available in Australia - because I grew up with it in my local Boots store. (For the uninitiated, Boots is a UK pharmacist / cosmetics store and I was a loyal customer there since forever...but for some reason, they have stopped stocking UD products, and Debenhams (think Myer) stocks their goods.
To be honest, my sister is a bigger fan of their products because her make-up collection has Urban Decay everything from eyeliners to UDPP to their palette sets.

When everyone went crazy over the UD Naked Palette, I just didn't get it. I still don't. But that's because I'm not a fan of anything brown. I love colour!!! Bright colours! And that's why I love this Urban Decay Ammo Palette. The packaging is sexy with its trademark black and purple colours. It's filled with 10 sexy shimmery shades, a handy mirror inside the box with a sponge applicator. Very handbag-friendly!!
The downside is the cost. Okay, it's not crazy like Chanel prices, but if you're largely unemployed, you may want to add it on to your wishlist, like I did...and you never know when the Urban Decay Fairy Godmother may pay you a visit! *wink*
One more thing, I should mention is - What is with the many aliases of this palette?? On UD website, it is known as Eyeshadow Ammo Shadow Box, on Sephora it is known as Ammo Eye Palette and in UK, it is known as Shadow Box!!! Confusing much??!!

Eyeshadow Swatches
Eyeshadow swatches (minus primer) from left to right in Smog (deep coppery bronze), Mildew (shimmering metallic green), Oil Slick (black with rainbow glitter), Last Call (iridescent plummy purple) and Chopper (shimmering fawn with glitter).
Followed by Maui Wowie (sandy sheen), Shattered (bright iridescent aquamarine), Polyester Bride (sheer white shimmer), Grifter (sparkling pale purple) and Sin (light shimmering champagne).
Even without eyeshadow primer, the colours look pretty intense; but for staying power on oily lids, I would highly recommend the legend that is Urban Decay Primer Potion!
And yes, you may call me the worst eyeshadow swatcher in the beauty blogosphere!
For the next Urban Decay eyeshadow palette review - same time, same place, next week? It's a date!
