Urban Decay Glinda Palette

I've had my eye on this special edition create your own palette by Urban Decay for months! This is 1 of 2 special edition Urban Decay palettes released for the film Oz: The Great And Powerful. I did want to get the Theodora palette originally (I'm more drawn to the darker toned shadows) but by the time I got the money to buy one they had all but disappeared from the shelves. 

The Glinda palette comes with a saturated lip color in Glinda and a super soft 24/7 eye pencil in Rockstar. Both I love, the lip colour is a really sheer rose pink and is so comfy to wear, it's also a lovely day colour. The liner is a dark purple,I've never tried any UD eyeliners and was really impressed with the staying power of this. Once it's on, it ain't coming off!

The Glinda has a lighter more airy feel then the Theadora palette, obviously it has to represent her 'Good Witch' status. I have to say though that as much as I love the shadows, I would have got more use out of the warmer Theodora palette. For example the shade Oz is pretty hard to wear, I'm not sure when I would ever wear a rich silver or gold shade. The shadows are however as creamy and pigmented as all UD shadows, Aura is a beautiful blue and pink iridescent, perfect for highlighting.

The palette also comes with a face chart complete with instructions, on how to create a Glinda inspired look. It uses all the shadows in the palette along with the liner and the lip colour. It's not a chart to create the look from the film like I thought it would be, but it definitely tells you how to use the palette to it's full potential. 

The main reason I bought this was because I loved that you can use the palette for any UD shadows. It's easy to pop them out and put your favourite UD eyeshadows in there. The tin is gorgeous and a perfect addition to my palette collection, where it will stay forever and ever!
