“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.

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!
