Urban Decay Feminine eyeshadow palette review

           As I gaze into my crystal ball, I'm seeing a palette in your future. Could it be the Urban Decay Feminine eyeshadow palette for Holiday 2012? Shrouded in lace, fishnets, and artfully faded color, the Feminine palette has an air of mystery that is anything but usual.

          The Urban Decay Feminine palette has the prettiest and most intricate patterning of the three holiday palettes (the other two being Fun (reviewed here) and Dangerous). The variegated faded purple fabric is draped in a black lace pattern printed on the clear plastic casing.

         The eyeshadows sit in a fishnet patterned tray that can be removed from the zip packaging (see below). Don't worry about it falling out though, as the magnetic force holding it in is quite strong. The pouch can be re-used to store 'makeup, pens, or prophylactics', however not credit cards, as the surface is magnetized.

          The Urban Decay Feminine palette comes with a miniature lip gloss in a squeeze tube that has the classic cutout cap detailing. The black ribbon in the case is there to help prop the gloss out.

         The colors in the Urban Decay Feminine palette include faded gypsy purple, bottle glass green, and smoky grey. Wallflower Lip Junkie is a neutral nude pink cream gloss. Bordello is a pale mauve pink shimmer with flecks of gold micro-glitter. Skimp is a pale beige shimmer that reminds me of parchment. AC/DC is a light smoky purple with shimmer. Gunmetal is a popular metallic grey that you might recognize from palettes past. Hijack is an intense metallic teal shimmer. Lost is a neutral to warm medium brown shimmer.

          The Urban Decay Feminine palette has a thematic air of mystery that pervades from the packaging down to the cosmetic color scheme. It's the feminine-with-an-edge feel that Urban Decay is so good at doing. I love the soft interpretations of color that are unexpected, yet wearable. I'm especially looking forward to incorporating Bordello and Hijack into my current routine. Thanks for reading! Do you see an Urban Decay Holiday palette in your future? Which colors in this palette jump out at you? Are you surprised at this interpretation of feminine?

Love, Dovey.
