Did I really say I was going on an eyeshadow ban....

Well I was doing pretty well until I saw this the Urban Decay Book Of Shadows volume 2 over at Lipstick and Lightsabers, who has a great blog by the way! Great reviews and EOTD, check her out if you get the chance!


This has only just come out in the USA so I was expecting it to be a month or so before it would be out here but on Thursday night I nipped into Debenhams on Oxford Street and they had it! The MA said it was a debenhams exclusive for a little while and then will be available elsewhere.This is such a gorgeous palette and I have to say I think I like this one more than the original and I love that one too! There are 8 new/exclusive shades and 8 best selling shades. 2 mini liners in Zero & Bourbon and a mini Primer Potion (With the new wand!) it costs £27 which I think is really reasonable for the amount you get!

So onto the swatches, done in the same order as the palette

Peversion, Gunmetal, Ecstasy, AC/DC
Nylon, Sellout, Mushroom, Sphynx
Half Baked, Twice Baked, Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, YDK
Jink, Flipside, Homegrown, Misdemeanor
These are all dry with no base! My faves so far are AC/DC a gorgeous metallic purple, Mushroom if Mac's Style Snob and Smoke & Diamonds had a baby this would be it, Jinx one of the prettiest blues I have and Misdemeanor similar to Mac's Club, can't wait to try this over a green base!
All the colours are creamy and the only one with obnoxious glitter is Midnight cowboy rides again!
This palette gets a huge thumbs up from me, its great value for money! Expect some EOTD's soon!
