Urban Decay strikes again! Book of Shadows 4 and dupes

I haven't posted here in SO long, I thought it was time to share some of the goodies I've picked up lately. Any there are MANY! I probably wont be able to post often, but will try as I have time. Im just putting this out here because I have purchased many newer products with the help of other people taking the time to post swatches on blogs, so Im paying it forward!

I didn't originally intend to get the UD BOS4 when I saw the first pics of it on Facebook. It looked boring and gimmicky and too neutral. But, then I saw it at Ulta and knew that I couldnt resist. UD strikes again, stealing all of my cash and making my wallet cry. Plus, I do own all of the other BOS so I figured I had to continue the trend! I have no plans to use the speaker or QR codes, but it is really nice that it comes with a full sized Perversion liner (which I was already planning on buying) and decent sized samples of mascara and Primer Potion. Overall, this palette isnt super unique and exciting, but it has a few fun colors and some nice neutrals for days where you want to key it low key.

From the palette the most unique and fun are Crystal (a little sheer but an icy blue with gorgeous teal and purple shimmer) Hijack, Lost and Gravity. They remind me of Fyrinnae shades with their complex multi shimmer (except Lost).

Yellow Eyeshadow Swatches

Today I got a request for a recommendation for an eyeshadow that is similar to MAC Chrome Yellow but with shimmer...so, I decided to swatch all of my yellow eyeshadows :) I apparently own a few, and I didnt even venture into gold. Hey, you never know when you need to wear yellow!



L-R: Fyrinnae Banana Mochi, Fyrinnae Magic Missiles, Taylor Made Minerals Sunflower, MAC Chrome Yellow, Fyrinnae Leo

These are all a bit more shimmery IRL, but the pic doesnt show it!
