Urban Decay Ammo Palette
































I had bought this palette almost two years ago but forgot to post the photos. As you can tell I am really on top of things! :)

Here is the description from UD -
Smog (deep coppery bronze shimmer)
Mildew (mossy green shimmer w/gold shift)
Oil Slick (black matte w/silver micro-glitter)
Last Call (metallic plum)
Chopper (copper shimmer w/silver micro-glitter)
Maui Wowie (metallic golden beige w/silver glitter)
Shattered (turquoise shimmer w/gold shift)
Polyester Bride (white snow shimmer w/silver micro-glitter)
Grifter (sheer lavender shimmer w/silver micro-glitter)
Sin (champagne shimmer)

Most of the colors had a good color payout and lasted a couple of hours with a primer. Although, my eyes did crease but very rarely my eyeshadow don't crease no matter what primer or eyeshadow I use. Some of the eyeshadows with the micro glitter was a bit coarse and hard to blend [I am looking at you Oil Slick] or a smudging nightmare [it went everywhere..] Overall, the palette is definitely worth the $16 as that cost less than a single full size UD eyeshadow.

Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box

I was in the market for some new makeup for my birthday trip and I came across this and had to try it. I was supposed to save it to actually use on my trip but I couldn't pass up on it! The palette included  Fishnet, Honey, Ransom, Graffiti, Zero, Peace, Shag, Scratch, and Underground eyeshadow with a deluxe Urban Decay Primer Potion. The colors are shimmery and can be used for both day and night as there is an even mix of nice "loud" colors and subtle ones. The eyeshadow is shimmery and nicely pigmented. I did notice you really did have to use a heavy hand to get the color deposited into my lids. I didn't use the sponges provided since I usually I have tons of brushes [but I honestly only use one or two].

Fishnet -  a duo chrome color of fuchsia and purple
Graffiti  - a shimmery Kelly green
Shag -  a metallic coppery color
Honey - reminds me of a rich honey color  [haha!] its like an old gold metallic color
Zero -  a charcoal goal with hint of silver glitter [I can't really tell it is super tiny...]
Scratch - reminds me of Stila's Kitten. It is a soft wash of rose gold
Ransom - a blue with purple highlights
Peace - a teal blue. It reminds me of the water in some nice beachy island.
Underground - a slight wash of taupe/brown
