Urban Decay Feminine, Dangerous, Fun Palettes

A new release of Urban Decay palettes is a holiday for me! Urban Decay has just released three new eye shadow palettes, named Feminine, Dangerous, and Fun. These palettes are supposed to "speak to your inner mojo" and you pick the palettes that match your mood at the time. Each palette contains six eye shadows, one 24/7 Eye Liner, and a matching Primer Potion. Urban Decay states, "We like to describe everything we create as being feminine, a little dangerous, and a lot of fun. The eye shadow palettes speak to your inner mojo. Filled with six hand-picked, Eye Shadow Primer Potion, and 24/7 Eye Pencil, they coax your personality into doing all the talking. How do you roll?"

The three new "mood" palettes (dare I call them that?!)...

Feminine Palette - Our Feminine Palette is for those who cultivate a more "feminine" personality. Those sultry shadows suit your legendary wiles perfectly. We've added Eye Shadow Primer Potion in Eden, a matte, nude shade, and our award-winning black eye liner in Zero. Behold endless possibilites at your graceful fingertips.
- Eye Shadows in Stray Dog (cool medium brown), Midnight Cowboy (pink champagne with lots of silver glitter), Ectasy (bright purple with slight pink tint), SWF (light cotton candy pink with silver microglitter), Darkhorse (dark bourbon with shimmer), Aquarius (aqua green with shimmer)
- 24/7 Glide-On Eye Liner in Zero (zealous black)
- Primer Potion in Eden (tawny matte finish)

Dangerous Palette - Try as you might...your friends say you're rooted on the wild side. Our Dangerous Palette holds size intense, bewitching shades to help your inner "Femme Nikita" come out kicking. Feed you dangerous desires with Greed, our gilded Eye Shadow Primer Potion and a naughty purple eye pencil to complete the set.
- Eye Shadows in Haight (deep teal with shimmer), Virgin (matte nude), Mildew (deep green), Oil Slick (black with silver glitter), Rockstar (dark eggplant with shimmer), Gunmetal (gunmetal gray with silver glitter)
- 24/7 Glide-On Eye Liner in Rockstar (darkest eggplant)
- Primer Potion in Greed (shimmering gold)

Fun Palette - You tend to tip the scales toward "fun" don't you? Our Technicolor Fun Palette makes you the hit of any party (as if you need the help). This bright case hosts six shadows with twittering personality, a sassy eye pencil, and our must-have Eye Shadow Primer Potion. Please, entertain us!
- Eye Shadows in Woodstock (bright pink with slight shimmer), Psychedelic Sister (bright purple), Baked (rich bronze), Sin (champagne), Flipside (electric teal with blue sheen), Uzi (metallic silver with big iridescent sparkles)
- 24/7 Glide-On Eye Liner in Oil Slick (black with teeny silver glitter)
- Primer Potion in Original (nude)

The first action that I always take with Urban Decay Eye Palettes is to look and see what shades in them that I already own once (or twice in a few cases). In this group, I already own three of the shades in the Fun Palette (Baked, Sin, and Uzi); Gunmetal in the Dangerous Palette; and Midnight Cowboy in the Feminine Palette. It is looking like I really don't need the Fun Palette unless I love the other shades. Which I don't, I would get no use from Flipside and Woodstock and very minimal usage from Psychedelic Sister.

So one palette is totally out. I think that the Feminine Palette will be the best choice for me from this collection. Midnight Cowboy might actually be my favorite shade from Urban Decay so it wouldn't hurt me to have yet another one on hand (since it will get used). There actually isn't a shade in Feminine that I wouldn't use since many of these seem to be more on the neutral side and will work the best for my eye color. Onto the Dangerous Palette, I don't know how much use I would get from either of the deep teal shades or black shades. I don't use either of those shades enough to warrant ordering a palette that contains two more of each of them.
