Urban Decay Smoked Palette

post #1 of 64

Urban Decay is releasing a new eyeshadow palette apparently this month.  Here is a link to Karen's review/preview on it.  I am on the fence about getting this b/c only 5 of the shadows are new.  I already have the other 5 plus the pencil.  Thoughts?

I'm totally passing on this. If it's really supposed to be the "smokey" version of Naked/Naked2, I think it really falls short in comparison. I think if they want to release a new palette as popular as those, they need to match the design of the palette (pan shape, number of shadows). I really don't like the square pans and the zippered case; it just looks cheap and has less presentation.

This is an ugly palette ( nothing to do with the fact UD is not cruelty free anymore ), I love my Naked palettes but this one is not pretty at all. I have my Two Faced palettes for smokeys or neutral looks, I don't need this one !

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Naked 1 & 2 Palettes... UD really sucks me in with their eyeshadows.  That being said, I don't know that I will grab this one or not.  Nothing looks too unique to shades I already own.  Although having it in one convenient palette may serve me well on my many travels.  Guess I'll check it out in person to see for sure.  It definitely looks really nice with a great assortment of shades.  Happy to see UD incorporating more mattes in their palettes to balance out the shimmer.

I am wanting this palette because 3 of the colors I have been wanting are in this palette. mushroom loaded and rockstar. I have a few UD palettes but only have the first naked palette. It would be nice to have a smoked palette IMO.

i think this looks awesome. i have no interest in either naked palette since i don't like wearing neutrals but this looks just my style. i've never had any UD shadows before but have always wanted to try them- only thing that keeps me back is the price point :\

Genn,

I've been eyeballing those same 3 colors since they came out with the new formula!

I have both Nakeds & I NEVER reach for them plus when I tried their other palettes I hated the way they wore & was not at all impressed. I'm tornnon whether or not to invest in this palette. Another thought is why isnit the same price as Naked when u get 1/2 the amount of shadows, that's another turn off.

What do u guys think of the new formula? Is it improved at all???

Any idea of when this will be in stores...besides sometime this week?

TIA.

I've been stalking sephora and urban decay and I havent seen anything yet. I only saw something about an event in canada on the 20th for the palette in UD's event section.

Has anyone seen this in a store?  I am interested in swatching it for myself before I decide to pass or not. 

 

I may swing by ULTA today to see if they know when they will be getting it.

It has some pretty colors in it but not something I'm dying to get my hands on. I still haven't tried the Naked palettes and would prefer those I think. This one's a pass for me!

There are a few colours in this that I've been wanting to try out as well (Rockstar, Evidence, and Loaded), along with Perversion eyeliner. Also great to see a dark matte brown in there. And, to me, it definitely seems more sensible for travel.

I asked about this at my local ULTA, and they had no idea what I was talking about.  They kept trying to sell me the Naked palette which I already have.

Just FYI - I have spoken to SAs @ several Sephoras, and they don't know if/when they will be getting this palette.  I don't know if the people whom I spoke to were clueless or not, but they all seemed to think that this was going to be exclusive to the UD site for at least a little while.  Which would make sense.

I was thinking of purchasing that palette but I already have Loaded, Rockstar and the beloved Blackout.

According to UD's website, each eyeshadow in the Smoked palette is 0.8g/0.03 US oz. The shadows in the Naked palettes are, near as makes no difference, full-size. (1.3g/0.05 US oz).

Loaded is one of the shades that can be purchased individually.
