Urban Decay | The Glinda Palette

I just couldn't resist this palette from Urban Decay. I was so excited about the release of the Oz The Great and Powerful palettes and decided to order The Glinda Palette, as it was something a little different. As beautiful as the Theodora palette was, I already own umpteen neutral palettes!

Urban Decay Oz The Great And Powerful, The Glinda Palette: £35.00 via Debenhams - 

Firstly, let me talk about how good value for money this palette is. You get six full sized Urban Decay shadows (two are duos), a mini 24/7 glide on eyeliner in Rockstar, and a full sized super saturated lip colour in Glinda. That's over £100.00 worth of products, for £35.00. Bargain! 

The packaging is also another plus. Its absolutely beautiful, like a glittery cloud. The case is made of the same tin as the Naked 2 palette and the Build Your Own palettes. And guess what? It is a build your own palette, as the eyeshadows inside are removable and can be replaced! 

The six shades in the palette are all very girly (to reflect the good witch Glinda, of course!), and are all up to the usual Urban Decay high quality.

There's Tornado - a dark purple with shimmer. 

Aura - a white duo shade with one side blue iridescent and the other pink iridescent. 

Magic - a pinky purple shade with gold shimmer. 

Illusion - a pale peach with shimmer. 

OZ - The second duo, metallic gold and metallic silver both with that pesky UD chunky glitter! 

South - A taupe/grey with shimmer and fine glitter.

The Super Saturated lip pencil in Glinda is a lovely pinky nude with an almost metallic finish, I really love it! I'm tempted to try more of these pencils from Urban Decay now. 

I should have swatched this and the Rockstar liner, I'll add a pic in at a later date.

The palette also comes with a 'get the look' card. All in all this is a great set, a real hit for Urban Decay. It feels like they've really taken their time with the Oz palettes, they don't feel rushed like some other releases. They seem to have pushed the boat out here, as its such good value for money! Plus you can refill with similar shades when you run out of one! 

Urban Decay gets a 9 out of 10, just get rid of that chunky glitter!

Wednesday Wishlist | #1

Heres another hopefully regular feature - Wednesday wishlists! Here are a few products I've been lusting after recently:

Urban Decay 'The Great and Powerful Oz' Glinda Palette: £35.00 from Debenhams - This limited edition corker is due to be released at the end of the month! There are two palettes, the light Glinda palette and the darker Theodora palette. I have loads of dark neutral palettes so I fancy something different and have my eye on the Glinda palette!

Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stains: £23.50 from Debenhams, Boots, House Of Fraser - I don't own any YSL  products but I've had my eye on these glossy stains for a while. Some of the shades are absolutely stunning, particularly the darker more purply shades.


Inglot Freedom System Eyeshadows: £4.50 each from Inglot - I bought my first Inglot palette earlier this month and I absolutely love it. If I could afford it I would buy another one in a minute. The quality of the shadows are just fantastic.

Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquers: £5.99 from Boots and Superdrug - These are the newest product from Rimmel, and I've already ordered two from their Facebook shop (now sold out). I suppose they're a cheap version of the YSL glossy stains, and I can't wait for mine to arrive! They should start appearing in shops soon.

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Lightscapade: £21.50 from MAC and House Of Fraser - Sadly, this beautiful skin finish is in the Goodbyes section of the MAC website - but don't worry! - if you miss out like I will be this time, Lightscapade will be returning later in the year as part of the Hayley Williams collection! Hooray!

NARS Blushers in Mata Hari and Douceur: £21 each from NARS and House of Fraser - NARS blushes are on my radar, big time thanks to Laurzrah's NARS blush collection! I already own Sin but Douceur and Mata Hari are now on my wishlist.
