Urban Decay The Glinda Palette

What it is: One of two gorgeous limited-edition palettes inspired by the Disney movie "Oz the Great and Powerful." What it does: Inspired by the Disney film’s theme of good witch vs. bad witch (and the good witch/bad witch dichotomy in all of us), Urban Decay created two collectible palettes loaded with beautiful, never-before-seen shades. Recreate Glinda’s ethereal, spellbinding look with eight all new and exclusive eye shadows in six pans (this set includes two duo-shades that are split in half, with a different color on each side of the pan). Every shade features Urban Decay’s Pigment Infusion System™, the proprietary blend of ingredients that gives each shade its velvety texture, rich color, serious staying power, and blendability. This set contains: - 6 x 0.05 oz Eyeshadow in Tornado (vibrant deep purple shimmer), Aura (iridescent white with blue shift and iridescent white with red shift), Magic (pinkish purple with golden shimmer), Illusion (pale peach satin), Oz (gold with gold glitter and silver with silver glitter), South (warm pale gray shimmer with silver micro-glitter) - 0.03 oz 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in Rockstar (deep eggplant) - 0.1 oz Super-Saturated High Gloss Color in Glinda (light sheer nude) - A card with step-by-step instructions on how to get Glinda's look from the film What else you need to know: The Glinda Palette incorporates Urban Decay’s Build Your Own Palette format for total versatility. When you finish the original shades (or whenever you get the urge to experiment), just pop them out and pop your favorite UD shadows into the cool collectible tin. It features a dreamy, celestial design awash in a sheer backdrop of pink, gold, and peach, with Urban Decay and the name of the film in foil lettering.

I love this palette. I am a fan of eyeshadow palettes that come with instructions on how to apply them. The palette is easy to apply and the colors look great with my fair skin tone and green eyes. The eye liner and lip stick are also great. I also purchased the Theodora palette and love it as well. It is nice to have options.

This is a typical UD palette- great! The Glinda palette is a bright, cheerful palette. The glitter shadows are a bit messy, but pretty nonetheless.

I debated for at least several weeks before buying this. I looked in two different stores and it was out of stock, I really wanted to see it in person first. I finally gave in and bought it, and have been wearing different combinations of these shadows every day since. The colors are great, it seems like a really good quality too. I normally don't wear lipstick because my lips are so chapped, but even the lip pencil is amazing, it has enough moisture in it that it feels very light. Don't hesitate, buy this!

Quick Take: good value
I absolutely love this palette. Every time I wear these colors my boyfriend tells me that I'm glowing! The colors are super pigmented and beautiful. I use it a lot so when I realized I might actually hit the pan on the oz duo I ordered another one. I was happy to find out that the super saturated lip color is actually the same as the naked super saturated lip color that they have available all the time. So for those who didn't get the palette or got one without a lippie, you can still purchase that color. this is my go to palette and lip color. It was definitely a bang for my buck!

Quick Take: good value, travel size
I read recent reviews on this palette and decided to give it a try. I love it. I wore the colors to a wedding last night and received several compliments on my eye makeup. The colors are very vivid (I have medium skin tone) and the shadows lasted all night with no creasing. The instructions included were much appreciated.It's compact so it fit nicely in my purse. I would like for the lip gloss to have a little more shine but it's still a pretty color.

Quick Take: good value
The value is really good, the colors are great, but not as pigmented as the naked palette, which was my first UD palette. Honestly, this palette was nice, but made me look like a clown. I am filipino with more earth toned colors so I'm sticking to the original naked palette.

I always stick to natural colors and to step out of that I got this palette. I like this palette a lot, the colors are simple and pretty. You can either keep it natural looking or make it dramatic and I love the eyeliner as well.

just 4 stars...
-04.25.13
because for some reason the lip shine was not included in the box i got.
and of course it's sold out now and will not likely be back in stock. and Sephora's solution to that problem is to send the palette back for a refund, but i'd rather keep what i got then have nothing.
these are great colors if you are fair skinned. i got a lot of compliments on the aura.
really wish i had gotten the entire set.

I love Urban Decay shadows because they are so pigmented. I was drawn to this palette but only really use the four outside ones since the lighter shades are so light. I LOVE the lip pencil stick that came with the palette. It looks so dark but once on, it's a very nice rosy pink color.

I LOVE everything about this palette! I've been wanting to buy one of UD's palette like these ones because you can simply take out the shadow and customize it with any of the other UD eye shadow, this is such a great concept! And finally when the Glinda palette came out, I had to get it for the price and the addition of the lip & eye pencil in which I love both! The Glinda palette has such beautiful colors! I have not used all colors but mainly the purple one, highlighter color, and the taupy color. I also love the packaging and the sturdiness of the tin box! Overall, its a great investment to add to my makeup collection!

Very special product

I have long been a UD fan. This palette is nothing short of amazing. The eyeliner is awesome and the shadows are gorgeous and stay on all day, especially when using the UD eye primer potion. I love how the colors compliment each other and are so shimmery! Fun fun fun!

Quick Take: good value
I have been using this pallet daily for the past 3 weeks. The shadows are all well pigmented, easily blendable and last all day with an eye primer. I usually put my makeup on 8am and take it off at 10-11pm; so these shadows last about 14+ hours on me.
I usually only wear neutral eye shadow colors with a bold lip color, so this pallet is something different and out of the ordinary for me. I knew right away that I would never use the shade Tornado - a deep purple color so when I purchased this pallet I also bought an Urban Decay shadow single in a color that I knew I would wear to switch out with Tornado. This is a great perk of this pallet; if a shade is not working it can easily be swapped out for another Urban Decay shade of your choosing.
As for the other colors I have found myself using the shade Illusion the most. It looks peach in the pan but when applied to my light skin it tends to just blend right in with my skin tone. For me it makes for a good base color. The surprise color for me is the shade Magic – pink/purple with a slight golden shimmer. I have been wearing this one regularly in the crease paired with Illusion all over the lid. It’s a pretty spring combo.
The shades South and Oz I thought would be my favorites, however I only used them once or twice each. These shades have too much glitter fall out for my liking. I have done my best with them by using an eye primer, patting them on, wiping away any fall out with a fan brush and yet I still find myself with glitter on my cheeks at the end of the day. It’s too bad because these are beautiful colors.
The lip color is well pigmented, relatively long lasting, and nice and glossy. I really only have good things to say about this as a product; however this color is not for me. I am light skinned with cool undertones and have brown hair, this color washes me out. On some people it has a slight pinkish tone to it, but on me it just looks beige. I would however buy one of these lip colors in a bolder color.
I love the eyeliner. It is an egg plant color; once applied it just looks somewhat brown-charcoal on me. It is nice to get one of these Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliners in a shade other than black. The eyeliner is easy to apply, gliding on effortlessly and lasts all day.
As for the overall construction of the pallet, I think the exterior design is pretty and attractive to look at. On the inside it bugs me a little that some of the shadows pop up a little out of their slots. I also do not like that the hinge on the lid is weak, so I cannot stand the pallet on my vanity or table and look in to the mirror in the lid because the lid just falls back flat. It would have been really nice if the lid would stay propped open so we could use that mirror during makeup application.
Overall I think this set is a great value for what you are getting; 6 full sized eye shadows, a full sized lip color, a travel sized eye liner, and a pretty build your own pallet. For me it would be hard to fully recommend this pallet since several colors do not work for me personally and I am not a fan of the glitter fall out. However, for someone who enjoys glitter and has checked out the colors and thinks they would use them this set is a great value

Love the Wizard of Oz theme! The eye colors are beautiful and I appreciate that this palette comes with an eye pencil and a lip color. It's like getting an additional bonus! Hope there will be more Wizard of Oz products to come:)
