Urban Decay Glinda Swatches

January 30, 2013 By Carleenp 4 Comments

My order of the Urban Decay Glinda and Theodora Palettes arrived and I immediately jumped on them to take photos and do swatches. I’ll post each makeup set in a separate post. The makeup sets are based on the upcoming Disney movie, the Great and Powerful Oz, which is a prequel to the Wizard of Oz movie. Michele Williams plays the role of Glinda.

First up is the Urban Decay Glinda palette, which also comes with a 24/7 eyeliner and a super saturated high gloss lip color. I am already in love with this palette and I have only had it open for a few hours! You can see the other palette here: Urban Decay Theodora Swatches.

First are photos of the Glinda Set, followed by swatches. The cover of the case has the movie logo.

The case allows you to switch out shadows, which I really like. I am already planning the combos that I might want to put together beyond what is included in the set.

Below are the shades Tornado and Aura.

Magic and Illusion.

OZ and South.

Here are swatches of the set. Tornado and South are my two favorite shades in the palette, but I love all of the colors in this kit.

Tornado and Aura (the silver half) swatches.

Aura (the peach half) and Magic swatches

Illusion and Oz (the gold shade) swatches.

Oz (the silver shade) and South swatches.

Here the Glinda swatches all together from a bit of a distance and in slightly darker light.

The lip color is a pretty brown/pink/mauve shade. It is going to be flattering on a lot of different skin tones.

Below is a swatch of the Glinda super saturated lip color.

The eyeliner is a purple 24/7 liner. I didn't swatch is, since it is a pretty standard shade. I love this set and I really like the Theodora Palette too, so I am glad that I got both! They are limited edition and available online at Urban Decay, Sephora, and Ulta. Plus you can get them in Sephora and Ulta stores.

Urban Decay Glinda and Theodora Palettes

January 23, 2013 By Carleenp 2 Comments

When I ran the Disney Marathon and Half Marathon a few weeks ago, the new Disney Movie the Great and Powerful OZ was being heavily advertised. I had no idea that Urban Decay was also involved with new palettes inspired by Glinda and Theodora. I just ordered them, so I will have swatches and a review as soon as they arrive.

Now available are the Urban Decay Glinda Palette and the Urban Decay Theodora Palette. Each have 4 single shade eye shadow pots and 2 duo shade pots. As a bonus, they also have a travel size eye pencil and a lip color. What I love about these are that they are in the build your own palette cases, so you can pop the shades out and put others in. Each case has an OZ theme. I have to admit that I am a closet OZ fan. I loved the books when I was a kid!

Here is the Urban Decay Glinda Palette, which has the following shades: Tornado, Aura (iridescent white w/blue shift and iridescent white w/red shift), Magic, Illusion, Oz (gold shimmer w/gold glitter and silver shimmer w/silver glitter) and South. Also included is an eye pencil in deep eggplant and a lip color in Glinda.

Next is the Urban Decay Theodora Palette with eyeshadow shades of Broken, Beware, Bewitch, West, Spell (black satin w/green and gold shimmer and gold metallic w/tonal glitter), and Jealous (pale green pearl and dark green pearl). The eye pencil with this one is black and the lip color is Theodora.

I loved the looks of these so much that I ordered both of them. Theodora will be great for some of my everyday looks, and Glinda looks perfect for spring. I love the looks of the lip colors as well. Urban Decay made me pretty excited with these new sets!

As I noted, I will have swatches, a review and more photos as soon as the new palettes arrive.

For now, you can get the palettes at UrbanDecay.com and they should be at Sephora soon as well.

MAC Cosmetics Archie’s Girls Sneak Peek Photo Links

January 7, 2013 By Carleenp Leave a Comment

MAC Cosmetics is releasing the Archie’s girls collection this spring. Being a big Betty and Veronica fan when I was younger (oh heck, I’m still a fan!) I’m excited about the collection! I will most certainly be buying a few items to review and swatch when it arrives. If anything I want a few items just for the cute packaging!

Update: Karen at Makeup and Beauty Blog now has excellent photos and Archie Girls swatches. Go see them here. I plan to buy a few items and will swatch them as well when I get them, but you can see everything you need at Karen's site.

For now, you can get a tiny sneak peek of sorts from these twitter photos released by MAC. The first one doesn’t show the color, but it does let us know that there will be some eye shadow quad palettes involved, and it gives a sneak look at the packaging. See the photo here. The next shows what is believed to be the inside of a palette. See that one here.

Here are a few photos from the upcoming Archie’s Girls collection!

The collection should be out around February. I will post more info and photos when I have it.
