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.

My God where have I been....where have I beeeeeen??

Sorry, quoting new UnderOath, which completely owns me. But Alas, I have fallen off the face of the earth and returned again. Work has still been crazy and life sucking and there have been some possiblities of some interesting doors opening in my life which I cant tell you about now, but hopefully in a week or two :) I've also become completely engrossed in knitting scarves (again) as well as the art of spinning! I ordered my first drop spindle this week so I should be spinning soon ;)

So, here are my contributions from the past few weeks...







Here is what I used...which I did not photograph the labels and now forget what all of the names are :( I know that the Fyrinnae greens are Leif and Elven Dagger...


Next...yay for fancy hair and falsies ;)









And in case you dont have supurb vision...MAC Kitschmas, Violet and Entremauve, forget which falsies Im wearing...


Thats all for now, but stay tuned because I have some new UD goodies....including the Book of Shadows palette which is waiting on my doorstep now!
