Urban Decay Fun Palette: Review and Swatches
Saturday 14 July 2012 16:18Today's post is a quick look/swatch of Urban Decay's Fun palette. From my brief research, I discovered that this palette was brought out last year along with 2 others of the same size: the Dangerous palette and Feminine Palette. I have had trouble finding this palette on the websites of House of Fraser and other UD stockists so I have a feeling it isn't made anymore, although there are quite a few going on Amazon and Ebay for around £15-£20 if anybody is interesting in buying one. I got mine from Buyapowa.com last week for a bargain £12.50, I was so chuffed!
As you can see (I hope!), the colours in this palette are 'Woodstock' (a hot pink/fuscia with shimmer), 'Baked' (bronze with shimmer), 'Uzi' (pearly white with huge glitter chunks), 'Sin' (soft champagne pink), 'Flipside' (teal with slight blue shimmer) and 'Psychedelic Sister' (deep purple). I have listed these colours in the order they are in inside the palette, as you can see in the images below.
Below I have swatched everything for you, from left to right: 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner Pencil in 'Oil Slick', eyeshadows in 'Woodstock', 'Baked', Uzi', 'Sin', 'Flipside' and 'Psychedelic Sister'. There is a real variety of colours in this palette which is really handy. I have already managed to create quite a natural eyeshadow look using 'Sin' all over my lids and 'Woodstock' in the crease. 'Sin' is the perfect soft pink for a natural look and 'Woodstock' can be built up to look more vivid or used lightly for a more toned down look. All of the shadows are excellent quality and when applied are really well pigmented. I already have 'Baked' in the Book of Shadows Volume 1 and it still doesn't disappoint, it is such a perfect colour that could work well when incorporated in both a neutral look or a more 'fun' look. 'Uzi' is the only one I am not sure about, as the glitter is huge! It has a great deal of fall-out when applied, but is undoubtedly a beautiful colour. I also already have 'Flipside' in my Urban Decay Foreshadow palette, but again I love it, it is so bright and pigmented and is just a gorgeous colour that would be fabulous for summer. Finally, 'Psychedelic Sister' is quite dramatic, with strong pigmentation. It looks beautiful with deep black eyeliner I find!

Ooh, this palette looks beautiful! I love the design and the colors. And it's great that it's available for such a cheap price now that it's discontinued. I hope you do tutorials with it, I'd love to see what you would do with those bright shades!

DeleteI'm pretty sure my sister got this for Christmas, I regret not buying it in the sales afterwards! Really pretty colours, and a good selection - sometimes it's good to have a few completely different colours in one place so you have a versatile palette.
