Urban Decay: The Black Palette Swatches!

Hello Ladies & Gents!

I told you I'd be posting my own pics of swatches from UD's Black Palette, and here they are! This is primed with the original UDPP. I know it comes with a mini bottle of "Eden", but Eden is my FAVORITE and I don't have a full size tube yet (soon!) so I don't wanna waste my mini-tube on my arm. hahahaha.. Here are my pics! I hope you enjoy.

Here is the outside packaging. It comes in a black velvet casing, rather than their normal purple. LOVE IT! The palette has a smooth, glossy exterior.

Here is the back of the palette.

Opening the palette. Has a magnetic closure like most (if not, all) of their palettes. It is a lot thicker than I imagined. I was expecting it to be thin, like the Ammo Palette, but it's actually the same height of the Naked Palette.

Here it is! This was after I did the swatches, so the hatch marks are messed up. :P

These are all of the colors, from left to right, Black Dog, Barracuda, Jet, Sabbath, Cobra, Libertine, swatched over UDPP in Original.

This palette is $36 and it comes with 6 x 1g eyeshadows, .13 fl oz of Eden, and .03 oz of 24/7 Eyeliner in "Zero." In my opinion, the color payoff is amazing, and all of these swatches were just ONE swipe with a eyeshadow brush. "Black Dog" has to be one of the blackest blacks I've ever seen, and in my opinion, it is darker than MAC's "Carbon." Because they are so dark, I would definitely go light-handed with these, and build up to the intensity you desire, because they are so pigmented. This is a Limited Edition palette, and I suggest you go order one, RIGHT NOW!! :P Here is the link to purchase one on Sephora: http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P272318&categoryId=C10461
