This makeup addict has been awfully quiet lately! Well I have a blockbuster review for you! Let me backtrack a bit as the story needs to be told.
I tweeted about wanting this item a while ago, actually I think I tweeted about wanting it the minute I knew it was available. Unfortunately as I am a casualty of the recession I have had to cut back on my spending especially in the cosmetics area *sniff*.
My little sister (she is 17) just started her first job, she was paid on Friday and of course being a teenager and getting her first paycheck she wanted to hit the mall! At the mall she told me she wanted to hit Sephora for a Primer Potion (ack! Sephora is like a Candy Store for me I have to resist temptation!) I went with her and found her paying for *gasp!* the Urban Decay Book of Shadows. Guess what she did next?
The little trickster handed me the Sephora bag and said "I know you want this" and I almost fainted right there in the store! She is a sweet heart and I was so surprised I wanted to cry, her first paycheck and she wanted to fuel my addiction lol.
Well, here it is the review. 16 beautifully pigmented shockingly stunning colors from Urban Decay. The Book Of Shadows Volume II. This is a MUST have for any lady that loves makeup. The only negative thing I have to say is that I wish some matte shades had been included.
This palette comes with 8 best selling shades from Urban Decay: Sellout, Gunmetal, Ecstasy, Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Twice Baked, Half Baked, Flipside and YDK.
and 8 EXCLUSIVE shades to this palette: AC/DC (deep eggplant shimmer), Nylon (champagne sparkler), Mushroom (taupey-gunmetal), Sphynx (pink sparkle/shimmer), Jinx (bright blue shimmer), Homegrown (bright green shimmer), Misdemeanor (deep teal sparkle), and Perversion (matte black).
Enjoy the swatches
