Urban Decay Shattered Face Case Review

Well, I finally found it-the UD Shattered Face Case.  I found this a couple weeks ago at Ulta on sale for $29.  I'm guessing since the spring line is about to come out, they put all the 2013 holiday stuff on sale.  I couldn't be more happier that I was able to find this.  Now that I've had a few weeks to play around with this palette, I thought I would share with you guys my thoughts on it.  The cover of this palette is really cool and edgy, just like you would expect a UD palette to be.  It is in a two-tier form with the 5 eye shadows, the eye liner, access to the lip pencil and a decent sized mirror.  The second tier has the blushes and highlighter, access to the lip pencil and another decent sized mirror.  

All 5 of these eye shadows, and of course the 2 blushes and highlighter(seeing as how the only blush and highlighter that UD sells is in the Flushed palette) are exclusives to this palette.  In this palette, you also receive a travel sized 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Zero and a full sized High Saturated Lip Color in Lovechild.  While this is a great travel palette, most of these colors I wouldn't use on a day to day basis.  You can get a pretty good slightly smokey day time look, but this palette is much better suited for those who prefer the darker, full on smokey eye look. I love that the face cases provide 2 blush choices, and I hope in the spring or summer line, UD will come out with actual blush choices that are UD worthy-soft and buttery.  

Let's talk about these eye shadows.  Shakedown is a brown gunmetal satin.  Remix is a rich purple shimmer with micro-glitter. Nameless is a medium gray brown satin. Minor Sin is a champagne pink satin. Bleach is a yellow beige matte.  For most of these, I wouldn't wear on a daily basis.  I have gone out once or twice and have used this palette to make my look a little more edgy. 

Overexposed is a dusty rose colored blush.  Temper is a soft baby pink. Glint is a soft pink champagne shimmer. These are great colors for me.  Just like in the Anarchy Face Case, the blushes are a bit powdery, but so pigmented it is unreal.  A little really goes a long way.  These blushes look really natural on my pale skin.  They are definitely some of my favorite blushes and highlighters in my collection. 

This set also includes a travel sized 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Zero.  I could go without this one for sure, I have a bunch of double ended eye pencils in Zero.  Still a great black eye pencil, just would have preferred a different color.  It also includes a full sized High Saturated Lip Color in Lovechild.  This is a really pretty cool pink color that goes with quite a lot of different eye looks.  I am loving this color.  

All in all, this is a pretty good set if you prefer darker colored eye looks.  Keep an eye out for tutorials for this palette!
