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!

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shi...

Chaos - bright cobalt blue with light pearl (matte) Freak - light yellow toned emerald green (shimmer)   These shades are beautiful and I just love these pencils at the moment.

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...
