Urban Decay Book of Shadows!!

First off, this things is HUGE. Totally not portable!




The brushes are just ok...







Scratch vs. Scandal



Absinthe vs. Graffiti...I love them both!



Scratch vs. Scandal and Absinthe vs. Graffiti - Absinthe has more gold shimmer, and makes Graffiti look more kelly green.




Ransom vs. Mayhem



Ransom vs. Mayhem vs. Ashyxia - Mayhem has more icy blue to it IRL , it is the lovechild of Ransom and Ashphyxia



Protest vs. Mildew



MAC Humid vs. Mildew vs. Protest



Underground vs. Gridlock vs. Sidecar




and for fun, because I never noticed this in the Deluxe palette...so cute!!!




So, overall this is a very good value palette and would be a great purchase if you dont own any/many UD shadows. There are def. some repeat colors...but there are also some nice new colors in here! Even the repeats have some subtle differences that just dont show up in pics. I didnt get to swatch them all yet but Perversion, which does not look matte, looks really pretty. Also, dont expect to tote this around with you though. Its large and heavy and the drawer is a PITA to slide out.
