Urban Decay Show Pony Shadow Box

So excited, got my first ever Urban Decay shadow palette yesterday! I've never tried Urban Decay shadows before, but heard all the hype,so i finally after much deliberation settled on the Show Pony shadow box. For two reasons, first i really loved all the colors this palette had to offer they are all really beautiful colors that i could actually picture myself wearing consistently....but I'm not going to lie "Flash" the purple shadow was the one that sealed the deal for me (I'm a sucker for my purples). And secondly I really liked that it came with the 24/7 eyeliner in Zero,one of my favorite eyeliners(this eyeliner is amazing,goes on silky smooth great for blending)..

This palette is simply amazing!! I expected really high quality shadows,but these really blew me away from the pigmentation to the satiny finish. These are by far the best eye shadows I ever used. The colors are..
Snatch-peachy pink w/glitter (very pretty color but be forewarned, this is a VERY glittery e/s great maybe for a night out, I necessarily wouldn't wear this in the day, When i wore this shadow i had tons of glitter all over my face!)
Mildew-dark forestry green (this color is AMAZING, i have it on right now, super pretty green color)
Flash- electric purple ( my favorite! But like i said I'm a sucker for purple..this color is so gorgeous, as soon as i got this i put it on right away, this color might seem really bright, although it is,  it is completely wearable for daytime, adding just the right amount of color to your face,LOVE LOVE LOVE Flash)
Painkiller-bright turquoise( WOW is all i can say painkiller is probaly the most pigmented e/s i have ever seen..the brightest turquoise absolutely gorge, a MUST have)
Smog-deep bronze (beautiful deep bronze color perfect for the crease, this has got to be my 2nd favorite color in this palette)
Toasted-copper ( this color reminds me of a brand new penny, beautiful copper color with a golden reflex)

*This palette also comes with a mini sample of Urban Decay's bestselling eye primer potion in original.This primer is great for making your eye makeup stay put all day!


Overall Opinion- This palette retails for $30 USD, which is pretty steep.But for what your getting, in my opinion is totally worth it! It took me forever to finally go for this and I'm so happy i did.The e/s are simply amazing they all go on with such a silky ease that makes blending a dream! The only con for me in this palette would probably have to be Snatch.The color is super pretty but the chunky glitter is NOT for me. But even with that this palette did not let me down i would definitely repurchase this product and look forward to using my new fave e/s.  with love ~Pixie
