Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box Review

This box, which comes in a lovely velvet/metal mesh case, contains 9 of Urban Decay's Deluxe shadows, 2 shadow wands, a mini Primer Potion, and a very useful mirror under the lid. At what I believe is $36, it's also a significant savings over each product individually.

Each shade can be used by anyone, no matter how daring or plain they prefer their eye makeup to look. There are some especially stunning brights in the box, which are gorgeous on their own or mixed with the more neutral shades. While these brighter shades drew me to the set initially, I've actually found the most use out of Scratch (a shimmery pale pink), Honey (shimmery golden yellow), and Zero (smoky black - great for use as shadow or as an eyebrow powder).

The included primer potion is excellent, but really not even necessary since the deluxe shadows alone are very bright and long-wearing (although it does add some extra oomph). I do recommend the product though - I often use it with other brands of shadow, as well as Urban Decay's regular shadow line which is more sheer by itself.

When I run out, I plan on repurchasing this box for sure, as it is indispensable (I've used it nearly every day since I bought it approximately a year ago) - my only wish is that a new edition is released which also includes the 3 other shades from the Deluxe line.
