Urban Decay Show Pony Shadow Box

URBAN DECAY: SHOW PONY SHADOW BOX

OVERALL RATING: 5/5
WOULD I REPURCHASE?: Yes
WHERE TO PURCHASE: sephora, urbandecay.com, and wherever else urban decay is sold

REVIEW: This was a lovely christmas present from my sister and brother-in-law. The palette has a unique design by an artist named Kime Buzzelli. The inside of the palette contains a mirror and 6 different shadows: Snatch, Mildew, Flash, Painkiller, Smog, and Toasted.

Snatch has large chunks of glitter. Mildew, Flash, and Painkiller are gorgeous bold colors. Smog and Toasted are nice neutrals. The shadows are really pigmented and glide on smoothly.

The set also comes with a mini 24/7 liner in Zero (one of my favorite black pencil liners) and a mini primer potion (which i always use when i wear shadow.) The cost is $30, which is a great deal for everything you get.

POSITIVES:
- Pigmented: the color pay off is great.
- Smooth application.
- Easy to blend.
- Nice variety of neutral and bold colors.
- Cool packaging.
- Good deal

NEGATIVES:
- None
