that looks pretty cool! when it comes over to the uk i will most likley buy it

great it comes with liners!

jenntoz · 08-21-2009, 12:14 PM #3 (**permalink**)

The first one has two brushes & instead they have added the 2 liners Zero & Bourbon, I'm happy cause Bourbon is a color I had been wanting to get, so that is an extra plus for me

MrsRjizzle · 08-21-2009, 12:22 PM #4 (**permalink**)

yay! I love that it comes with liners!~

I have several of the UD liners (love them) but have never tried the shadows (except for Midnight Cowboy, which is a glittery mess, IMO).

What do people think of the eyeshadow quality?

jenntoz · 08-21-2009, 12:34 PM #6 (**permalink**)

I think most of the shadows tend to be very glittery, but some are very nice.(sorry I'm no help, lol) This new palette has 8 new colors in it so I have no idea what they'll be like. I saw swatches on the gloss menagerie blog & the palette looks really pretty. (do a google search for her blog, she has asked not to post the pics elsewhere)

They brought back AC/DC! Yay!

With the exception of the glittery shades they are amazingly smooth and pigmented. More so than MAC imo. Urban Decay's website lists which shades have glitter so I would avoid those. The Deluxe eyeshadows are amazing as well. They are shimmery but not glittery.

It looks pretty! FYI - there is a thread on this in the UD forum: Book of Shadows Volume 2 is now available!

I've used three, Illegal (matte), Chopper (super glittery) and Foxy (matte).

Chopper was super glittery but there was no fallout at all and it was very easy to apply and blend, pigmentation was great too

.

Illegal was smoother than Chopper simply because I assume there was no glitter in it. Once again, pigmentation was great. It showed up as a brown rosy colour on my skin and I'm a WOC so yay!

I have tested a lot more of their eyeshadows since and I love all of them, if I could find the BoS original in the UK, I'd buy it in a second.

I picked my BoS Vol. II up from debenhams a few days ago. The new/limited colours all rock. I was pleased that it also contains some old favourites (I can never have enough flipside!). The substitution of eyeliners for brushes makes this palette a superb bargain. I was also interested in the new shape applicator that came in the PP sample. The sample bottle is in the same shape as the larger bottles and by my reckoning the longer, shaped applicator should be able to reach just about all the potion! Has anybody bought a full size PP lately??? Have they really solved the packaging issues that simply??? I wait with baited breath.....

Any idea what's in that top layer beneath the mirror in the picture? I loved the first BoS palette and am delighted to see another, but am a little annoyed that they stuck with the drawer packaging design. The whole thing is way clunkier than it needs to be. Also happy about the substitution of two pencils (even if they are in shades I already have) for the two brushes they had last time as IMO they were pretty useless.

And I definitely agree with those who have said that UD eye shadow quality is top notch. Sure there are a few glitter bombs that are aggravating, but same can be said for MAC (though I think Midnight Cowboy produces more glitter fallout than any other eye shadow I've ever used period). Their frosts and shimmers have excellent pigmentation and are super smooth and silky. Even a few of their glittery shades like Chopper (as someone previously mentioned) and YDK are wonderful to work with. I own at least 20 (not including my BoS palette) and am always excited when they release new shades. I particularly like their regular shadow line as opposed to the deluxes as I think the quality is the same as their deluxe shadows, but those can be depotted and stuck into my MAC palettes.

Nothing too exciting lol. Underneath the flaps is a small booklet with some pictures models wearing UD and the usual jargon.

A nice thought but a little superfluous when you consider all the extra packaging to hold it. The peacock feather print is pretty though!

I love the 1st BOS and since I have none of these colors I will definitely pick up this one too. So glad they put the 24/7 pencils in instead of more brushes. I hope Sephora gets this soon....

Casadalinnis · 08-24-2009, 12:57 AM #16 (**permalink**)

I have only one shadow here called Rust that a friend put in my b-day present makeup bag. I've never used it and it's just sat there in it's package. I keep seeing peoples' reviews on the BOS 1 and they make it seem like a must have....are these compatible with MAC or no? Thanks for all the contributions about the glitter factors guys...just would like to step out of my MAC rut further.

definitely. I use my UD and MAC shadows together so much I don't even bother to keep my depotted UD singles separate from my MAC. They're dispersed throughout my palette collection as I organize mine by color. They're very similar in formula and quality. UD's non-glitter shadows remind me a lot of MAC's better frost shadows or even their VPs, and their glittery ones are close to MAC's Lustres (though truth be told, a lot of UD's glitters are easier to work with). Haven't tried their matte shadows but I assume they're also comparable to MAC's.

Casadalinnis · 08-24-2009, 01:40 AM #18 (**permalink**)

I'll be working it into my wishlist equation. LTL and then MAC release and a private sale on here has me on the don't buy til the end of the week list if I value my future spending.

Thanks for bringing up the lustres because I'm a lustre junkie thanks to the miracle that is fix + and I lean to frosts and veluxe pearls so you just made a sale for Urban Decay. I will be venemently kissing up to keep up with my next 3 purchases at the end of the week but you don't know til you've tried. I've seen mostly positive so I think we have an okay roger.

cloudsweare · 08-24-2009, 01:56 AM #19 (**permalink**)

I was going to buy the rest of the MAC Make up Art Cosmetics collection next week. But, I want this!

I have the first BoS and I love it!

thelimabean · 08-26-2009, 12:21 AM #20 (**permalink**)

I have the first one, and I just ordered the second one

I'll give my review when I get it (probably next friday)

CaveB · 08-26-2009, 03:30 AM #21 (**permalink**)

Geez, NEED this...but I'm still trying to track down the first one! I just can't bring myself to own #2 of something if I don't have #1! Ha ha ha!

mdjmsj · 08-26-2009, 08:19 AM #22 (**permalink**)

This looks lovely-I definitely want it! Does anyone know if Sephora will have it?

kaylabella · 08-27-2009, 03:57 AM #23 (**permalink**)

I missed out on the first BoS, so you bet that I am determined to get my hands on this gem! I love the packaging, it's gorgeous, of course I pretty much love everything to do with peacocks. heh. Also, the fact that it has 8 exclusive shadows is pretty awesome as well, and the two liners and PP? What an amazing deal! I have a feeling that I am going to be hitting the order button by the end of this week, so I'll let you guys know how it is ;D

LoopyLoo · 08-27-2009, 04:34 AM #24 (**permalink**)

Just wish they had some mattes in them for those of us who are a little older.

thelimabean · 08-30-2009, 02:26 AM #25 (**permalink**)

I just got mine in the mail and Jinx is absolutely beautiful! As for the comment above, there's 2 mattes I think-Lucifer and Sellout. The colours look really pretty, i've only had time to look at a few on my arm, but I might do a look with it tomorrow and post.
