What do you think of the URBAN DECAY Sustainable Shadow Box?

I bought this from Sephora for $36 during my winter break.





The colors I really love are YDK (a really nice shimmery bronze), Half Baked (a golden color), and Twice Baked (kind of a chocolate or brownie color). I use these colors everyday when I%26#039;m getting ready to go to my classes. I am considering buying these 3 colors in the full size. I also use Oil Slick wet as an eyeliner. Flipside, Flash, and Kiddie Pool are really bright colors that would be good for a night time look although I don%26#039;t use these too much.





The colors I don%26#039;t really care for are Uzi, Grifter, and Midnight Cowboy Rides again. Actually the colors are nice but there is too much glitter. The other seven colors in the box are shimmery and glitter is not an issue however with these 3, it%26#039;s literally like they packed craft glitter into these shadows. I don%26#039;t mind glitter if it has a finer texture and stays put but after using these 3 shadows, my face had glitter fallout everywhere. It kind of sucked that I couldn%26#039;t use these shadows since they were the only shadows light enough to be used as a highlight in the box.





The palette is okay...I really love YDK, Half Baked and Twice Baked and all of the colors have great pigmentation and blend nicely. I kind of wished that I had gotten the UD Ammo eye palette since the colors are more wearable for everyday and I think only one of the shadows are glittery. If you want the bright colors, I%26#039;d probably recommend getting their UD Deluxe Shadow Box. Their deluxe colors have a velvety texture, are easy to apply, and don%26#039;t contain glitter so it is a good buy if you don%26#039;t have it already.





Hope this helped!
