Urban Decay Cream Shadow

There was a time, waaaay back when I was in college, that I had every single Urban Decay eye shadow, pallete, lip gunk, liquid liner, lipstick, nail polish, powder and foundation that Urban Decay made. I was practically a walking product showroom. In the past 5 or 6 years I have beem underwhelmed (with the exception of their Primer Potion - it is amazing).

Once they stopped making lip gunk and nail polish I lost all interest in the company.

Until now.

They've just released 12 shades of creamy highly pigmented shadow, in a great tube w/wand applicator. I am very, very impressed.

Better swatches:

Do I love them? Yes.

Do I need them all? Thankfully, no.

At $17.00 they are $1.00 more than Urban Decay's regular eyeshadows - which isn't much of a bargain considering how long it takes to hit the pan on a dry shadow compared to using up or the drying out of a cream shadow.

I had to have two of course - Moonshine - it will make a fabulous base, and Delinquent, which is the perfect deep metallic purple - lovely!
