THIS IS "THE" PERFECT PALETTE TO RING IN THE NEW YEAR!!!!
Urban Decay's Book of Shadows Vol III is EVERYTHING it portrays it self to be....it's filled with glam and glitz from the 16 shades of eye shadows of glitter, shimmer and matte with two 24/7 eye liners!
The palette has a pop up top with the Big Apple pop up landmarks, including the statue of liberty, the empire state building, street corner stores, taxi cars and people! It lights up when opened and includes a mirror as a backdrop. It is absolutely adorable!!! I can only imagine the look at all the young girls out there that received this as a Christmas gift - how fun!!!!
Not only is the palette adorable, but it comes with 16 glittery, shimmery and matte eyeshadows, including 7 new shades. Each of the shadows is clearly labeled with the eyeshadow color which makes re-purchasing that perfect shade really easy!
The eyeshadow colors are: Perversion, Uzi, Loaded, Kush, Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Last Call, Rockstar, Money, Haight, Maui Wowie, Smog, Bordello, Radium, Snatch, Suspect, Psychedelic Sister. It also includes Two 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils in Ransom (purole) and Zero (black) and eyeshadow primer portion (original).
I love the fact that the palette has a black matte shadow and the fact that it is inky black. All of the colors are really smooth and creamy, however, some are more pigmented than others. There are some really nice, unique colors like radium, psychadelic sister, haight and loaded. This palette is clearly meant for nights out on the town rather than the office with all it's shimmer and glitter.
The packaging is really very cute, some of the best I've seen - I love the lights - adorable! However from a travel perspective, its clunky and would be difficult to travel with but I don't really believe traveling is what was intended when this palette was designed so I'll give it a pass on this account.
I love the sample size primer portion in orginal and the 2 travel size 24/7 eyeliner pencils in ransom (blue) and zero (black). I could definitely see myself using the eyeliners because I own them in full size and use them all of the time. The products are not scented which is also a plus!
The mirror is a nice inclusion, but the lid does not really stay open on its own so the mirror is really not that useful on this particular palette. The palette has a lot of fun eyeshadow colors that blend well and are very wearable and it is sold at an affordable price of $54.00 US.
