Urban Decay Electric Palette - Review and Swatches

Hey guys! I couldn't wait to get my hands on this palette and now I can't wait to show you how awesome it is! While I love Urban Decay's Naked Palettes my true love in makeup is bright, bright color!

Urban Decay Electric Palette: $49

This palette is so great! It has 10 beautiful bright colors with the same great pigmentation and quality that Urban Decay is known for. All of the colors but one are mostly matte (with just a bit of pearl in them to make them blend easier). They are soft and apply and blend beautifully. You can use this palette just to add a pop of color to neutral eye look or if you're feeling wild use it to create a crazy bright look. I will be doing tutorials for both on my YouTube channel soon!

This palette is being marketed as a "pressed pigment palette". They are not calling it an eyeshadow palette. This is due to some of the colors in the palette like Slowburn (and some others) not being approved for use around the eye area because they can irritate the eye. However, I have used all of these and haven't had any problems with any of them so far. Just something to be aware of. The palette included a little sheet with ingredients for each color.

My favorite colors from the palette are Jilted, Urban and Fringe. Which ones are your favorite?

You can find the Electric Palette on Urbandecay.com or on Sephora.com

How would you wear these colors? Let me know in the comments! Urban Decay also has a ton of other awesome products in their Summer Collection that were released along with the Electric Palette. Check them out!

Talk to you soon!

The Colors of the Rainbow Tag!

R O Y G B I V ... Pink ... Multicolor

This tag looked like so much fun that I had to do it!

Here we go...

RED: MAC Lady Danger Lipstick 

 

This is one of my all time favorite bright lipsticks. It always makes me feel good when I wear it! 

ORANGE: Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Tipsy

These blushes are so pretty! So far I only have this color, but I love it! It's a great bright peachy-coral and stays on all day. I am definitely going to get some more of these!

YELLOW: Forever 21 Love & Beauty Neon Yellow Nail Polish

 
Okay, yellow is really not my color. In fact, it is my least favorite of all the colors. It makes me look sick when I wear it. However, I do love neon yellow (of course) and have recently been loving that it is so trendy right now. This polish from Forever 21 is a true highlighter neon yellow and the formula is great! Quite a deal for only 2.80!

GREEN: Green Smoothies! 

 
I drink one every day. Sometimes I drink two a day.  I have tried about a million (okay, not really a million) recipes for green smoothies and I pretty much love them all! My sons (and husband) recently gave me a Vitamix Blender for Mother's Day and it has made smoothie making even better! If you'd like to see some of my smoothie recipes let me know.

BLUE: Lush Cosmetics Ocean Salt Scrub

This stuff is a must in the summer. I use it year-round. It is a beautiful and delicious smelling salt scrub for your face or body. It smells like you're sitting on the beach breathing the salt air while drinking a Vodka & Soda with lime. Well, that's what it makes me think of anyway. It has sea salt, lime, avocado, vodka (for antibacterial qualities) and coconut cream all whipped up in a cute little black pot. It makes your skin feel soft and clean and you need it! 

 INDIGO: It's A 10 Miracle Leave-in Spray

I posted about this in my March Favorites so I won't go on and on about it. It's good stuff. Period.

VIOLET: Urban Decay Primer Potion

This is my favorite eyeshadow primer. Without it my eyeshadow doesn't last 5 minutes. I guess I have oily eyelids (eww!). Anyway, if you are looking for a good primer to make your eyeshadow last all day, definitely give this one a try. 

PINK: China Glaze Nail Polish in Flip Flop Fantasy

This is my favorite new summer nail polish. Now don't get me wrong, I still love all my blues and glitters but sometimes a girl just needs pink on her fingers and toes. Am I right?

MULTICOLOR: Sleek Acid Palette

The name of this eyeshadow palette is a little bit scary. But if you know me, you know I gravitate toward scary things and they don't bother me a bit. But actually it's not really scary at all it is just a really cool neon eyeshadow palette. This little guy is hard to get. Sleek is a UK based company and they do not sell the Acid palette in the U.S. because the FDA has not approved it due to some of the minerals used in the eyeshadows. So, I ordered mine from ebay. I'm crazy like that.

I hope you all enjoyed my version of this tag! It was really fun to try to come up with items for all the colors. What things would you pick for the colors of the rainbow?

Have a great day!
