I keep going back and forth about this. I already have 3 of the shades (perversion in the n2, and evidence and rockstar in individual pots). I feel like I already have shades similar to to Kinky and Mushroom.

I'm thinking I might just get Loaded as an individual shadow. The other colors just aren't too tempting to me.

[315bride]

All of those are colors that I can see wearing except for Evidence and Loaded. Mushroom is fantastic and I would wear it to death. Rockstar I have as a 24/7 liner and can see it being nice to have in e/s form. Overall, it looks like a good combo of colors but I won't be buying it.

[veruca5839]

I like it. I'm trying to curb spending, so I won't be purchasing any time soon.

[Deleted]

Meh. It reminds me of the Stila In the Garden palette, which I already have.

[natablue]

I'm going to pass. I already have Mushroom, which is a great color. But none of the others really do it for me. I am thinking of creating my own UD palette, thought I need more eyeshadows like I need a hole in the head.

[karebear304]

I'd only use about 3 of those colors, so I'm not interested. Pretty, but not for me.

[Kore]

I love all the colors. I really want it for Rockstar & Loaded. The Perversion liner is sosososo awesome, too, and I wouldn't mind having another. I'm glad they included that instead of a crappy brush.

I haven't brought myself to pull the trigger yet, since I own almost every other shade (or a very similar UD version), but I'm very tempted. I'd love to have them together in one palette like that. And buying Rockstar, Loaded, and Perversion alone would pretty much equal the cost of this set.

I need to search and see find a picture of how big the shadow squares are. I have a really hard time judging just from stand alone pictures. If they're decent size, then I could see buying them as all one palette.

[treedimensional]

I think UD is riding a huge marketing wave and milking it for all it's worth.
I would never wear the black, the whitish one, or the blue.

[Kore]

Pixy: A full-sized UD shadow is 0.05 oz, and the shadows in this palette are 0.03 oz, so a little more than half the size. The shadows in the Naked palette are full-sized.

Is it sad that I'm like, "Woohoo! Maybe I'll actually hit pan on one of these!" I think I'll throw a party the day I hit pan on any one eyeshadow. I don't think it's ever going to happen

I use Blackout everyday. I use Sephora's smudge brush, and smudge it over my pencil liner, along my lash line. It makes it last longer & softens the line a little. I also use it if I have a bright color & want to tone it down a little. A tiny dab of blackout blended into any bold color makes it more neutral.

Not that I'm saying you have to use it I just use the black way more than I ever expected I would.

I only hit pan once, and it was in a set that I had for *years*. Then I dropped the damn thing and everything shattered. :-(

Noooo! So sad

I hit pan on my Nars Orgasm blush (after 2-3 years). I took a picture & emailed it to a bunch of my makeup friends with "BFP!" in the title. It was an exciting day.

Same here.

[zimsgirl]

I'd only use 3 or 4 of the colors and I love my naked 2 palette more. I won't be buying it

I totally agree

[bimbi284]

I think of all the UD palettes, this one is my favorite due to the variety of colors, but I agree with others that a lot of the colors are similar to ones I already have.

I still think I'd rather make my own MAC palette...

[nsl]

I have never hit pan on a shadow. I keep expecting to see some peeking through whenever I dip into Virgin from the NP, but so far there's just a very deep crater.

Re: the Smoked Palette, I have no idea why, but it's leaving me cold. I already have Mushroom and Loaded as individual shadows, and the other colors just leave me kind of cold.

[bimbi284]

So wait...do you guys just not use shadow that much so you never run out or something?? I've gone through several shadows in my day. I've gone through like 5 Mac shrooms at least. Its been my everyday allover color for years, but I've been trying new ones recently.

I own about half of sephora & Nordstrom, & I mix it up everyday.

LOL...I suppose that makes sense!

Most of my shadows still have the hatch marks imprinted on them

I can't commit to just one color or look, so the wear is spread evenly.

This. My collection has grown by four shadows this week alone. Eyeshadow is my number one makeup weakness, and that's really saying something.

[Deleted]

I could see myself wearing all of the colors other than Rockstar (purple and pink shadows make my eyes look swollen), but I already have colors close to these across several other palettes. I think I have 6 different shadow palettes going right now, and a handful of singles - I need more eyeshadow like I need a hole in my head.

This.

[mrssavy42112]

Oooh, I like all of the colors. I have a lot that are similar and I wear them often, so I won't be buying.

[wawa]

I think when you change your sig it will be a sad sad day across gbcn.

Oh...were we supposed to be looking at something else?

[mrssandro]

I have hit the pan already on Virgin and Sin..I use those daily. I am about to just buy Sin since I love it the most. I have been exclusively using Naked since Christmas. I have been eyeing the Smoked Palette as my next buy for a few months now.
