First of all, I apologize for not posting last week but I needed some time off for myself and to spend with family during the Easter break. But, today to make up for that, I thought I could talk to you about the latest eyeshadow palette to join my collection (as if I need anymore!) I do think I'm quite late with this one as I believe it was first released back in November of 2015, but I still thought I would share my opinion about it so far, just in case you're still interested in getting it.
Gwen Stefani collaborated with Urban Decay on this palette to design one that would have all of her must-have shadows. To be honest with you, when I first heard about this, I imagined that this would include a lot of vibrant colourful shadows which I'm too scared to experiment with. However, to my delight I saw that most of the shades were neutrals (definitely up my street!). I love all my Urban Decay eyeshadow palettes, in fact they're among my favourites! So, when I ordered this one from FeelUnique I hoped that it would not disappoint. And, it definitely didn't!

The shades include:
- Blonde (pale beige w/pink iridescent shift),
- Bathwater (pale beige w/gold pearl),
- Skimp (pale nude satin),
- Steady (medium rose w/metallic gold shift),
- Punk (reddish brown matte),
- Baby (cool metallic rose),
- Anaheim (light taupe-brown matte),
- Stark (nude-pink matte),
- Zone (medium brown matte),
- Serious (smoky gray w/iridescent floating pearl),
- Pop (pale coral w/iridescent sparkle),
- Harajuku (metallic blue-pink w/iridescent micro-shimmer),
- Danger (deep metallic royal blue w/blue micro-sparkle),
- 1987 (bright metallic yellow-gold) and
- Blackout (blackest black matte).
Personally, I love the choice of matte and shimmery neutrals (obviously!) but surprisingly I also love the two colourful shades (Danger and 1987) as they have urged me to experiment slightly more with vibrant colours. I have tried both on my lower lash line and they've added such a nice little touch of edge to my looks. The shades are all insanely pigmented, very soft and blendable and the amount of different looks that you can create with this is unbelievable. The detail on the packaging is also so beautiful and well thought out!
This has become one of my all time favourite eyeshadow palettes! It's great for everyday, yet it can still be used for more smokey looks for a good night out! Would I recommend it? Definitely! If I had to recommend only one palette from Urban Decay, it would probably be this one! I think that it is worth the money (and also the hype).
Until next time,
