Urban Decay Vegan Palette Review

Hey there girlies!

I finally received my order of the Urban Decay Vegan Palette which is what I'll be reviewing for you all today! The biggest reason why I purchased this palette was because it cost $13.00!!!!!!!! Go check out the Urban Decay website! This palette is part of their huge sale and even with shipping it's $19.00 compared to the original price which with shipping would be $40.00! It's such an amazing bargain, so I couldn't help myself. Anyways, moving on with the review.

The packaging of the palette is absolutely adorable. It has drawings of cute little animals all over the box and for those of you who are vegetarian or vegans, this palette is perfect for you because the eyeshadows and the eyeliner are completely vegan. As for me, I don't really care too much about that aspect of the palette. I do really like the cute packaging, though.

The palette also comes with a mini version of the Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin. Unfortunately, this primer is not vegan, but like I said before, this doesn't really affect me. I just thought it'd be best to mention this for any of you vegan readers. I love the primer potion. It's a beautiful champagne color that can be used as a primer to accentuate metallic/shimmery eyeshadows and make them really pop. It can be used by itself if you're in a rush in the morning. It looks amazing used by itself on my eyelids. It can also be used to highlight underneath your brow bone or in the inner corners of your eyes. So it's a very versatile primer potion in my opinion.

So the box opens up like this. There is a mirror and underneath there are 6 eyeshadows. They are (from left to right, top to bottom) Minx, Urb, Gunmetal, Twice Baked, Smog, and Half Baked. In the center there is a mini 24/7 Glide On Eyepencil in Zero.

Here is a close up of Minx which is a beautiful turquoise/blue-green color. It has very large silver particles of shimmer. In fact, all of these are either shimmery or metallic, and they are also very pigmented. This is a beautiful, bright, summery color that can really brighten up the eyes and add a cute pop of color. But keep in mind, it is very shimmery.

Next up, we have Urb which is almost an olive green color. It is really gorgeous though. It's so beautiful, but it wouldn't look good on my yellow-toned skin, sadly. It really is an amazing green color that can be used for a simple, natural look.

This is gunmetal which is a dark gray, metal (obviously) color with almost purple undertones (I think?). This is great for using in the outer v to contour the eyes and it's perfect for a nighttime party look.

This beautiful, chocolatey brown is Twice Baked. It's a very rich, dark brown that works perfectly to add drama and dimension to the outer third of your eyes. This is my absolute favorite color to use to emphasize the outer v and really helps add drama to my boring Asian eyes.

This color is Smog. It's a gorgeous dirty gold/bronze color. It's great as an all over lid color or you can blend it with Twice Baked and Half Baked for an amazing golden/bronze eye look. Smog, Gunmetal, and Half Baked are colors in the Naked Palette. I just love this color. It's so pigmented and goes on so smoothly.

The last color, Half Baked, is my absolute favorite eyeshadow in this palette. It's just a beautiful gold color. It's so metallic and opaque and it really just adds a gorgeous golden touch to your face. I think this would be suitable for pretty much any skintone. It really brightens up the eyes and I'm sure you've all heard amazing things about Half Baked.
Like I've said before, the eyeshadows are all very shimmery and I do experience some fall out, but that can easily be fixed by applying foundation after doing your eyes or by using post it notes underneath your eyes. The colors are so pigmented and beautiful and they're almost creamlike. I love to use the bottom three colors for a more neutral everyday look because they go so well together.

So this is a swatch of the Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin and the 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Zero.
The primer potion doesn't last quite as long as the original primer potion, but it still lasts for a fair amount of time. The original one is pretty much transparent once it's on your eyelids but Sin has a gorgeous shimmery champagne color to it. It's great by itself or used under shimmery/metallic colors to really make them pop. As for the eye pencil, I honestly don't care for it at all. It smudges horribly and it really doesn't last very long. I have oily eyelids so maybe it'll work better for those of you with drier skin, but for me it transferred instantly after I applied it. If I used it on my waterline, it'd smudge everywhere under my eyes. If I used it on my upper lashline or tightlined with it, it'd transfer to my crease. It was just a horrible experience and I really don't think I'm going to be using this unless I want a smokey eye look where smudged eyeliner would be appropriate.
Conclusion: I love this palette. The decorations are absolutely adorable and the colors are outstanding. The primer potion is also amazing and I might love it more than the original just because of the wonderful champagne color it has. The eyepencil is just meh in my opinion, but who knows, maybe it'll work for you. If you have any questions or requests, feel free to leave a comment below. Thanks for reading, ladies!
