Urban Decay Electric Palette - Swatches, Review, and Makeup Looks

Hey yall...I'm very tired at the moment. My sleep pattern has been out of wack these past couple days but fortunately, I have this review ready for you before I pass out.

Packaging

• Made of sturdy plastic with colorful clouds/smoke design that suit the colorful theme of this palette
• 10 eyeshadow pans, .04 oz or 1.2 g each. They are about the size of a quarter.
• wide mirror
• 2 sided eyeshadow brush with synthetic bristles. One side is ideal for applying eyeshadow on the lid and the other is ideal for lining the eyeshadow. I'm actually liking this brush. 

Product

• There is a warning that Slowburn, Savage, Jilted, and Urban are not for use around the eye. I personally didn't get any allergic reaction when I used them on the eye area but still a little bummed that Urban Decay would put out a gorgeous palette like this and have half of the colors with such a warning.
• Scroll down to the swatches for the description of each shade.
• Most of the shades have a pretty good pigmentation and are easy to work with. The texture and finish vary a bit between shades but most of them feel velvety and smooth.
• You can use a few of them together to create fun and bold makeup looks or use a wash of color for something more simple. 
• It's hard to pick a favorite shade because they are so beautiful in their own way but I'm super excited to have Chaos on hand. It's a truly stunning royal matte blue. My least favorite shade is Revolt since it's less pigmented and very frosty. I wished it looked more like liquid metal. 
• They last all day with a primer.

Final Thought

Overall, this is one of the best colorful eyeshadow palette I have in my collection. I love the bright packaging, large mirror, and handy dandy brush. Although I wouldn't call this a compact palette, it's a fairly good size and not too bulky. The quality of the eyeshadows are excellent. If you have sensitive skin you may experience an allergic reaction to some of the shades that they don't recommend to use on the eye area but I didn't have any issues with them personally. If you love to play with bright and bold colors, I would highly recommend this palette.

Rating: 9.5/10

Price: $49.00
Availability: Urban Decay, Sephora, Ulta

Revolt - shimmery light silvery. It's no doubt my least favorite shade of the palette. It's more of a frosty finish so the pigmentation is less intense. You can make it more intense by applying it wet though.
Gonzo - cerulean blue with slight shimmers
Slowburn - slight shimmery bright medium orange with red undertone
Savage - matte neon pink
Fringe - shimmery teal

Chaos - matte royal blue. One of the most stunning blue eyeshadow I've seen.
Jilted - fuchsia with blue shimmers
Urban - shimmery purple with blue shimmers
Freak - light warm toned shimmery green
Thrash - medium chartreuse with slight shimmers

Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Swatches and Review - Retrograde, Sabbath, Siren, Revolver

I'm so happy that Spring is here and been loving the warmer weather. I'm sorry again for neglecting my blog. I have been doing a major spring cleaning at my place and reorganizing furniture. Holy crap! I have so much junk and stuff I don't use that's taking space and collecting dust. I was amazed at how much I had to let go. It looked like I was moving. It's still messy because there are still stuff I need to sort out but the bulk of the work is done...I think. I'm so sore. And of course, the usual...Work is driving me bonkers. I think I'm gonna go rogue if I keep up with the madness. 

I believe I got most of these at Nordstrom Rack. Some of them were also on sale at Sephora. I wonder if Urban Decay is going to discontinue them and come out with a new line of liquid liners.

Packaging

• Long and slender. Typical packaging for liquid eyeliners. They come with a thin brush applicator which I found easy to manage and create thin lines. 
• The color of the packaging matches the color of the liner.
• .05 oz or 1.7 ml

Product 

• What I noticed is that you should always shake the product before use because if you don't the color looks thin and watery.
• Retrograde - gorgeous dark purple with pink/blue shimmer liner
• Sabbath - dark navy blue with a slight glossy shine
• Siren - beautiful shimmery teal blue
• Revolver - shimmery gunmetal grey with pink and blue shimmer.
• The color is actually quite pigmented when you shake the tube before applying. It last on me all day without fading or smudging. It is also waterproof, which is great for summer when you're going to be sweating or hanging at the pool.
• It only comes off when I want it to come off. You do need an oil based remover in order to remove it though. When it comes off it comes off in like chunks and flakes. Kind of messy. 

Final Thought

So far I've been loving these. I'm a bit annoyed at how watery they get if you forget to shake them but other than that, they are easy to control and work with. The longevity is fantastic and bullet proof. There's quite a few shades available still on UD's website. A pretty good deal for $10 each, I think.

Urban Decay Electric Palette Makeup Look #4

Wow, 4 looks in a row...Something I've never done before but I hope you guys enjoyed. This is probably my favorite looks out of them 4. It was fun coming out with all these looks and I hope I can keep this up and create more on my next weekend. Which one was your favorite Electric palette looks?

Product Used

Face

• Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit
• Milani baked blush Luminoso

Eyes

• To start, I used theBalm Put A Lid on It eyeshadow primer
• With a pencil brush I created a cut crease with Urban (the purple color) and with a fluffy brush I blended it out. 
• I wet my brush with Missha The Style Magic Eye Change and dab it into Revolt, which is the shimmery silver color, and applied it over the lids.
• I lined the upper lash line with Urban Decay 24/7 liquid eyeliner in Perversion
• I lined the waterline with Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Crayon Blacquer
• I used a black eyeshadow to smudge a bit on the lower lash line. 
• I dabbed a liner brush into the Missha The Style Magic Eye Change and Savage (the pink eyeshadow) and created a winged liner from the lower lash line and up and added some of the pink color on the lower inner lash line as well.
• At the tail end of the eyeliners, between the black and pink lines, I used a silver eyeliner to fill in that area.
• On the brow bone, I applied Transforming Pearl from the IT Cosmetics Naturally Pretty palette.
• I applied NYX Tame & Frame tinted brow pomade in Brunette and NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder Dark Brown on my eyebrows.
• For the lashes, I went pretty dramatic with Fright Night Mesmerizing pairs but I only used the top lashes. They were a little too thick and long for my liking but I love how fluttery they look and how they fan out at the outer corners. 

Lips

• NYX Wicked Lippie Cold Hearted
• I used a brush and applied Urban from the Electric palette over the grey lipstick and I really liked how it turned out

Urban Decay Electric Palette Makeup Look #3 & Colour Pop Lippie Pencil Bunny

Of course I had to do a rainbow look with the Electric palette. I'm pretty happy at how it turned out. I was thinking of pairing this with a pink lipstick but decided, what the heck! Let's go with green! There are no rules.

Product Used

Face

• Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit
• Milani baked blush red vino

Eyes

• To start, I used theBalm Put A Lid on It eyeshadow primer
• I applied Gonzo on the crease
• I applied Jilted on the inner corner, Urban on the center and Chaos on the outer corner.
• I applied Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Khol Kajal Deep Blue on the waterline.
• I applied Thrash and Fringe on the lower lash line
• I applied Anastasia Beverly Hills eyebrow powder Ebony on my eyebrows.
• Ardell  Color Impact Demi Wispies blue

Lips

• Colour Pop Lippie Pencil Bunny
• NYX Wicked Lippie Risque

Colour Pop Lippie Pencil in Bunny is a dark emerald green with shimmer. Honestly, I didn't like the shimmery finish and this color applied quite unevenly. The pigmentation was average and the texture was not too creamy or too dry. I purchased it because I thought I would be a perfect match for NYX Wicked Lippie Risque.

The second color I really wanted to use from the Electric palette was Slowburn. Hellooooo look at that intense bright orange! What's not to love? This is a really easy look to do. For an edgier look, I paired this with a shimmery gold lipstick. Ahhh so perfect together!

Urban Decay Electric Palette Makeup Look #1

It's about time I start playing with this palette and deliver a new makeup look. So far I've already done 3 looks using this palette so stay tuned for the other looks. The first color I wanted to use from this palette was Thrash, which is a gorgeous chartreuse shimmer.

February Haul and Swatches - Sephora, NYX, Sally Beauty, H&M, I Love Nail Polish

Happy week end!

It's been so dang cold here, it's depressing. Anyways, while I was away from my blog I accumulated a few new goodies and finally found the time to show them to you. So here they are the new products I picked up this month!

Sephora

• Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof liquid eyeliner Siren ($10). There are 8 shades to choose from that are almost at 50% off. Siren is no doubt one of the most beautiful dark teal shimmer liquid liner I have ever seen. 
• Sephora Collection Colorful Duo Reflects eyeshadow ($13 each)- Mermaid Tail, Stormy Seas, Siren's Charm
• Sephora Teint Infusion Cream ($24)
• Sephora Crayon Jumbo Liner 12 hr Wear dark taupe shimmer ($14)
• Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Primary Pack Lip Tars ($29)
• First Aid Beauty Skin Rescue Deep Cleanser (100 points)

These are new and limited edition eyeshadows from Sephora. The texture is rather gritty and dry. I had to swatch them over a glitter primer in order for them to show. There's a lot of shimmer and sparkling multi-colored micro glitters in them. Super pretty I think but you really need that glitter primer to make it work. I really wish the texture was better and not as dry. The fish scale design is cute and fits the mermaid theme. I was only gonna get Mermaid Tale at first, which is by the way the only one that's actually duochrome, but after I saw how sparkly and pretty the other two are, I decided to pick them up as well.

Dark Taupe Shimmer is lovely, creamy, and pigmented. I love these Sephora Jumbo liners. I like them much better then the pencils.

When I saw this new Sephora foundation I just can't help myself but wanting to try it. Honestly, I haven't had much luck with the drugstore take of these new liquidy foundation. I'll get back to you with a review once I have a good feel for it. So far all I can tell you is that it wasn't as liquidy as I thought, it doesn't feel drying, and it's pretty light-weight but with a buildable light to medium coverage. I picked the shade cream (20) and I think it suits my skintone.

They had this set during the holiday but I totally missed out on it so when it became available again, I ordered it right away. I'm really happy that it came with a long handle lip brush. All the other lip tars I got, came with the short version. This is just what I need to customize my lip colors. I'm ecstatic!

I redeemed my Sephora points for this "deep cleanser". I haven't tried it yet but I am sure curious to find out how good it would cleanse the skin.


Nordstrom Rack

• Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof liquid eyeliner ($9.97 each) - Retrograde, Sabbath. No photos here but I promise you I will do a review with swatches. So far I have acquired 4 of these UD liquid liners due to the sale prices.

Ulta

• NYX Intense Butter Gloss ($5.99 each)- Toasted Marshmallow, Chocolate Crepe
• NYX Tame & Frame Tinted Brow Pomade Brunette ($6.99)
• NYX High Voltage Lipsticks ($5.99) - Wine & Dine, Flutter Kiss, Twisted, Dirty Talk, Feline, Playdate. 

So I'm not much of a gloss person but I was intrigued by these new Intense Butter gloss from NYX so I set out to get the two shades that I was most interested in. Toasted Marshmallow is a medium plum with a slight brown undertone. Chocolate Crepe is a medium nude with a red undertone. These look amazing on! Stay tune for my review. 

I definitely didn't need this but heck I just had to try this out so I can compare it with the Anastasia brow pomade. I will do a review and comparison for you, hopefully soon.

Of course, I couldn't help myself but had to try out these new High Voltage lipsticks. These 6 shades are the ones that appealed the most to me. My first impression is I think a lot of people will like these. Additional swatches and review will be coming soon.

Sally Beauty Supply

• Femme Couture Prime Wear Spice Up ($.99)
• Beautique Lip Crayon ($1.99) - Blackberry, Raspberry, Copper
• Beautique Gel Eye Pencils ($2.79) - Navy, Pewter, Rose Gold
• Yellow Flowers Nail Art ($1.59)

I'm so bummed that this lippie was kinda messed up. I wasn't aware of that until I unwrapped the clear plastic around it and removed the cap. Aside from that, I was pleasantly surprised with the nice creamy formula and pigmentation. Spice up is a medium warm brick red. Personally, I like the color.

So I took a chance and gave these Beautique lip crayons a try and wow and I am loving them! I do not hear anyone talk about these but they are some pretty damn good affordable lip liners! If you are on the look out for inexpensive but good lip liners, go to Sally Beauty and grab a few of these.

I grabbed these eye liners from the Clearance section and thought they looked pretty. I was worried that they might turn out bad but for the price, I was willing to take my chances. I'll definitely do a more in depth review but so far so good.

Probably wouldn't have paid full price for these nail art flowers but seeing them on sale made me want to try them.


H & M

• H & M Blushers Pinks ($5.95)
• H & M Bronzing Powder ($5.95)
• H & M Nail Polish Confetti Rain (

Ok guys, I'm mot gonna lie, I got totally sucked in by the packaging but man I'm rather disappointed at the formula. It was dry and sheer. Oh well, at least they make cute decoration pieces on my vanity.

Confetti Rain is cute a cutesy little bottle. I forgot how much it was and I threw out the packaging. Will swatch this one as soon as I get a chance.


I Love Nail Polish

• Ultra Chrome Flakies ($12.50 each) - Electric Carnival, Supernova

Say hello to my new besties...they look amazing! Stay tune for the swatches. My nails are finally long enough to do swatches, smh.

So what do you think? Which one of these products do you look forward to the review or look forward to try?
