Alice through the looking glass UD pallet - Review

Like most makeup addicts, I was extremely excited when Urban Decay (one of my favourite brands) announced they would be doing an Alice In Wonderland themed collection again.

Especially since when the last one came out I wasn't introduced to the makeup world, let alone the more high end products.

I bought the pallet the day it came out and have had it long enough to give all the shades a go and let you know how I got on.

Packaging: 

I'm a complete sucker for nice packaging and this pallet is no exception. It comes in a fairly compact box that when opened you can see this quote "I'm not strange, weird, off, nor crazy, my reality is just different from yours.", which for me was a nice touch and anyone who is a fan of the movie will appreciate it.

When opening the flaps you are greeted with a butterfly, which I'm assuming is another reference to the movie, i.e the caterpillar Alice encounters in Wonderland.

Another 2 quotes were used for the packaging, the first being located on the draw to access the eye-shadows reading " I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then” and the second being on the mirror reading "We're all made here".

Over all the quotes and colours were a good representation of the movie, however the only down side to the packaging is simply that it is made of cardboard, which means it can be slightly flimsy, it also means that the boarders separating the eye-shadows are very likely to get dirty and be hard to clean. 

 Product itself:

Overall the eye-shadows and fully wearable ranging from your neutral colours like the 3rd row from the top (dormouse, paradox, kingdom, salazen grum and chronosphere and to your more outragous colours like the bottom left corner (metamorphosis) and the 4th colour in the top row (heads will role) 

Each row is meant to represent each main character, and in my opinion they succeeded with their colour selection.  

(Staring from the left the character rows in order are: Alice, Mad Hatter, Mirana, Iracebeth and Time.

The pallet comes with a good variety of both Matt and Shimmer shades allowing you to create a variety of looks depending on your preference.

The only colour for me that was a complete miss was called Dream on (second colour from the 5th row), this is supposed to be a purple shimmer shade, slightly representing the shade Busted from their Naked 2 palette, however this shade when applied to the eyes has no colour pay-off, and only adds glitter to your eyes with an intense amount of fallout under the eyes.    

 Overall I did really enjoy using the palette and the quality of the shades is really good, if you are into this kind of thing, really like Alice in Wonderland or just collect limited edition products, this is something worth checking out.


Thank You!
