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

Urban Decay: The Black Palette

So, you ready for some makeup pr0n? UD has done it again, and released another beautiful palette! This one, complete opposite of the light, neutral shades of the Naked Palette, is a deep, dark, black-based palette with, get this, ALL NEW SHADES! Pictures are here for your enjoyment.

Comes with a mini bottle of UDPP in Eden, and a mini 24/7 eyeliner in "Zero."

The colors are:

Black Dog, Barracuda, Jet, Sabbath, Cobra, and Libertine.

Jet and Barracuda Swatch.

Cobra Swatch.

Libertine Swatch.

Sabbath Swatch.

The only swatch I'm missing for now is of Black Dog... which I cannot wait to see! All of these swatch photos were released by the UD team today between Twitter & Facebook. Just thought it would be nice to have them all in one centralized location. =) All credit for the swatches definitely goes to Urban Decay! I will be purchasing this palette this weekend, so I can post my own swatch on top of Eden next week. These swatches are NOT on any sort of primer, so I can only imagine how amazing they will look on primed skin. Especially Sabbath. Isn't that such a beautiful shade of blue?!? I'm in LOVE!

This palette is $36.00 on Sephora. Which equates to about $6/shadow, which isn't too bad, considering the color payoff. I hope you will be able to pick one up, and if you do, let me know how you like it!
