First Impressions: Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani Eyeshadow Palette
18:00:00
I originally hadn't planned on picking up this beautiful palette - I thought I had too many similar shades already in my overflowing eyeshadow collection. But when my good friend Hannah returned from her trip to NYC she surprised me with it for Christmas!! How lovely is she! (love you Schurmo!)
Lets start with the beautiful packaging shall we? It is cased in a stunning and sturdy gold and white plastic case with black polkadots and a gold plaque with "UD | Gwen Stefani" on the front. I think it is super chic and love that the theme continued on throughout her line with Urban Decay.
Inside boasts a HUGE mirror - the size of the case - and a cute little quote from Gwen herself. It contains 15 x 1.4g pans of shadow with a total of 21g of product. Priced at $95 here in Australia its not one of the cheapest palettes going around at the moment but it works out to be $4.33 per gram of product - which isn't too bad.
This palette is a perfect mix of matte and shimmer, neutral and brightly coloured shades. It contains shades that are perfect for your crease, outer-corner, highlighting the inner corner and brow bone and pops of colour for the daring.

This palette looks really stunning but I feel like it would be so bulky & I wouldn't get use from many of the colours! I think I'll stick to the Naked palettes myself :P x

It is quite bulky I must admit and gets finger prints soo easily!! Hopefully I can get a little bit of use out of it!!
DeletePretty colours, I love your review, the swatches look nice and that they wouldn't be too heavy on the lid. Sammy | Bargainbaglady.com {xx}
