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!

Perfume Power! - Harajuku Lovers 'G'

I received this perfume as an Easter gift from a family member. The bottle design is really cute. It has a doll figure cap, which lifts off and the actual bottle is clear and simple glass, it kind of has a flower shaped base. The size I have is very small, so it is handy for your handbag. And I suppose you could keep the doll for collector’s purposes, when you have used up the perfume. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Crisp Mandarin, Fresh Coconut & Apple Skin Middle Notes: Jasmine Sambac, Soft Freesia & Magnolia Vapour Base Notes: Coconut Cream, White Sandalwood & Cottonwoods To me it smells really strong for an eau de toilette. I quite like the scent because it is very feminine and quite sweet. The only thing I don’t like about it is the coconut. I don’t really like the coconut scent anyway. Other than that, it smells amazing, until the coconut hits your nose. I can also smell the floral side to it as well, the coconut does complement the flor...

Graze - Box #10

I have another Graze box post for you today. I am thinking of stopping these posts soon because it is starting to feel compulsory and I need to post more relevant beauty related content. A closer look at my treats. Graze’s Popping Corn ‘Lightly Salted’ I have tried this before and it is really nice and not overly salty. You get quite a bit of corn in the bag too, even though it is a small packet. Lightly Toasted Pistachios “Whole pistachios toasted with a little salt” I have had this packet before too and I just love pistachios! Tomato & Basil Pizza “Basil crunchini, cheese cashews & mini tomato breadsticks” This is my first experience with this packet, but each snack has been in other packets I have tried before. The crunchini is very nice and it’s just like croutons. The cheese cashews are nice and I do still really like the tomato breadsticks/baguettes. Herby Bread Basket “Basil baguettes, garlic crostini and oregano ric...

It is the July 2013 edition and you get a choice of five free MODEL CO products and four different magazine covers ( Rebel Wilson , Zooey Deschanel , Myleene Klass & Daniel Radcliffe ). I have never heard of the MODEL CO brand before, but judging by their website, they are marketed as high end. I’m not sure what size the items in the magazines are, but I have listed the full sizes and prices below. FIBRE LASHXTEND Mascara - £28 SHINE Ultra Lip Gloss in Strip Tease - £12 SHINE Ultra Lip Gloss in Showgirl Red - £12 COLOURBOX Eye Pencil in Black 01 - £14 LIP ENHANCER Illusion Lip Liner - £16 I decided to pick up two copies because this month’s edition is £1 instead of £2.
