Urban Decay X Oz The Great and Powerful 'Theodora' Palette

“because we all have a good side and a bad side”

As you can tell from the title of this post, I am going to review the Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette from Urban Decay, which is Limited Edition.

I decided to choose the Theodora palette, which is the bad witch. I chose this one because when I first saw the palettes I thought it was just the tin you got and I really liked the Theodora tin because it is more Wizard of Oz looking than the Glinda palette. I was looking for just the tin for when I buy more Urban Decay eyeshadows and BeautyBay only had one design. I was so excited to see the picture of the Oz tins, so naturally I wanted one! As it turned out they were full palettes that included eyeshadow, eyeliner and a lip gloss stick. Luckily the palette I wanted was the neutral of the two because although the Glinda palette is very pretty, I would have hardly used it.

The Theodora palette is made of black plastic and has a really beautiful design on the front, which has really bright pretty colours, and is why I thought of Wizard of Oz the second I saw it online. On the back of the palette the design is similar to the front but it doesn’t have the big logos. When you open the palette there is a mirror on the inside of the lid and the main base of the palette has six eyeshadow slots, which are all removable, so you can fill the palette with eyeshadows you already have if you want to. There is also a slot in the middle for your eyeliner. The size of the palette is quite small and compact and will easily fit in your handbag. You also get a ‘Get the Look’ card, which has Mila Kunis a.k.a Theodora on one side and step-by-step instructions on how to create Theodora’s make-up look on the other side.

The eyeshadows are of course the amazing quality Urban Decay is renowned for. Although there are six eyeshadow slots, you are actually getting eight different shades because they are all full sized pans, but two of the pans have a mixture of two shades. The eyeshadows you get are Broken, Beware, Bewitch, West, Spell and Jealous. Click here to see descriptions and swatches of the shades. All of the shades are very pigmented and easy to blend and you can easily achieve natural, smoky and over-the-top looks.

The eight shades are:-

Broken - pale cream/beige (satin)

Beware - medium caramel brown (matte)

Bewitch - dark charcoal brown (satin)

West - deep brown (metallic)

Spell - deep black with shimmer (satin) / yellow gold with tonal glitter (metallic)

Jealous - dark green (pearl) / pale green (pearl)

The 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil you get is sample sized and is in the shade Zero, which is a soft black shade. Click here to read my review of this eyeliner.

The Super Saturated High-Gloss Lip Color you get is full size and is called Theodora, which is a bright creamy glossy cherry red shade. This is actually part of the permanent make-up line, but called F-Bomb. Click here to read my review of this gloss stick.

Overall I really recommend this palette because it is a great small collection to have and the palette is re-usable. It also has a great novelty factor, which is what initially won me over. Sadly, I will not be able to re-purchase any of the eyeshadow shades because they were all Limited Edition, but I’m sure Urban Decay does other similar shades. On the upside, I’ll always have the palette!

LOOKFANTASTIC BEAUTY BOX #6 - October 2020

I was hoping to have posted about this last Thursday, but it took a while for my box to arrive. There was an issue with some people’s subscriptions and it mean’t some orders were not generated for existing subscribers. The issue was corrected and I have now received my box. Last month’s box was the Birthday Edition and this month we have the Retreat Edition with an indigo themed box. The six items inside the box should be worth over £58.00 altogether! Here is what I received this month:- GLOV Hair Wrap | £14.99 | This hair towel is made of from microfibres, which means it is gentler for your hair. I use a hair wrap towel every time I wash my hair, so this will come in very handy. I usually prefer darker colour towels as white ones look grubby after a while. | Full Size - £14.99 | ECOOKING Overnight Foot Cream | 30ml - £8.10 | This foot cream is supposed to remove dead skin as well as moisturise. It works best overnight and it is recommend that you wear socks over the cr...

Becca's Babble's #4: My Current Favourite Songs

Photo: TheDJ.co.uk I thought I would post about something different today, something not beauty related. I have found myself listening to more music lately, seeing as though I have more time on my hands whilst the UK is on a sort of lockdown and I cannot go to work. By listening to more music, I mean more of the songs I have downloaded. I don’t really get to hear much new music as I do not listen to the radio or watch music channels on the TV. I am also kind of old school with music. I actually download the songs onto my PC instead of using a music streaming service. I just personally find it easier; I can then copy the songs to my phone. Streaming sites tend to delete their content after a while, but if you have the songs downloaded, you can never lose them until you delete them. I do subscribe to Amazon Music for my Echo Dot though, but I do find it incredibly frustrating when Alexa doesn’t understand what I want her to play, even though I am saying it in plain English!! Anyway...

Empties #1 - September 2012

I am going to share with you some products that I have used up over a period of time and tell you a bit about them and whether I liked them and whether I will re-purchase them or not. These were not used up in one month, but over several, but I’ll try and do monthly ones. In no particular order..... bliss Blood Orange + White Pepper Body Butter – 50ml I received this in a glossybox and it is the 50ml travel size and it smells really lovely. I don’t like orange scents, but this smelt really nice. It is paraben free and it really makes your body feel moisturised and the scent makes you feel clean. I used it on my arms and legs mostly. I really liked using this product, but I wouldn’t re-purchase it because I have three full size Soap & Glory body butters to use up and my favourite is Soap & Glory The Daily Smooth Body Butter, but if I ever fancy a change this one would be my first choice, maybe in the Lemon + Sage scent! £6.40 – click here!
