Urban Decay Book of Shadows 3!

It arrived today! I know blogs like Temptalia and Lipglossiping have already shown you everything you need to know (they were extremely thorough, I love their reviews!), but I don't think anyone ever minds seeing more pretty pictures :) The outside of the case, I hadn't even taken it out of the clear packaging yet! Product information This is with the top popped open. Sorry it's blurry- I turned the lights out and didn't use flash so you can see where it lights up. The whole thing. Look at the beauuuutiful colors! Here are swatches (all over the included UDPP), these are the first two rows. I finally get to see why Midnight Cowboy Rides Again has it's infamous reputation! Honestly, I didn't think it was that bad, Uzi was much worse in terms of major glitter fallout. Here's the next 2 rows. This is my first UD palette, and I love it. With tax it was a little over $57, and to me it is worth it because I know I will be using it very often, and I love looking at the awesome pop-up scenery. Plus, you're getting 16 shadows, the mini UDPP and 2 mini 24/7 liners (if you take the $54 and divide it by 19 products, that's less than $3 per shadow/liner/UDPP). I think it's a great deal. If you own the Alice book, I don't think you should bother with this one, they have a lot of similar colors. It's still available on the Sephora website, but NOT the UD website. Also, from what I've heard, I'm pretty sure it should be in Sephora stores October 1st, but don't quote me on that. I'm definately going to do a look with it tomorrow, I'm so excited. :) Does anyone else have this yet, or any other palettes or shadow books? I still would like the deluxe shadow box.

  4. Great pictures! I'm not planning on getting this, as I think I'll be set once I get my Naked palette. Can't wait to see a FOTD with this!

  6. So excited for you! I own the Deluxe palette and the Alice one. I love the Alice to pieces, I use it a lot, actually! I had to do a little cheating along with a friend of mine but we've got the NYC palettes on the way (one for each, yay!) I still want the Naked palette though. I'm hype-gullible. *sigh*

  7. WOW I can't believe a 3rd one has come out. That looks really pretty - but I think if anything, I'm gonna save up for the Naked palette.

  8. I want this! Right now I have BOS 1 and 2 and the Ammo box and the Deluxe shadow box. I thought I had one more but I think I just was wishing I had the Wallpaper box but I basically have all the colours within the 4 others I have. It bugs me that UD feels the need to add repeats!

  9. Midnight Cowboy isn't bad until you try and put it on your eye, then its the devil >:D

    I almost want to get this for Loaded and Money... and maybe Haight but omgggg no money :( So sad. I also can't fit it into my makeup case...

  12. Yep, that thing looks pretty freakin' awesome! I probably won't get it, at least not any time soon, but the colors are lovely!

  13. Yep, I bought this very palette a few weeks back because Boots (dont think you guys have Boots stores in the US?) were doing 3 for 2 on UD and Too Faced stuff. It's beyond awesome and not just cos the box is so pretty!

    I reckon this is one of those palettes that you'll use again and again and there are enough shades to create LOADS of different looks :)

  14. Thanks for commenting everyone! :) I love reading what you have to say.

    @FunnyFaceBeauty: We're beauty bloggers! We can NEVER have too many shadows :P

    @MissTat: The Naked palette looks nice, but I already have a neutral palette and a TON of gorgeous neutral pigments. I am surprised people are having such a hard time finding it, there were at least 5 in stock when I went to Sephora the other day.

    @KittenMittens: Yeah, I think there's too many repeats in other shadow sets for me to get them, except the deluxe shadow box.

    @Cydonian: Devil it is :( I fell asleep watching a movie and when I woke up all the chunky glitter was in my eyeballz burnin them up >:(

    @All Made Up: We don't have Boots, sadly, but Target stores carry some Boots 17 skincare products and some lipsticks and things... they jack the prices way, way up. I love Too Faced, I could not have resisted that sale!
