Review / Urban Decay 4-pan Build Your Own Palette

You may remember my review about the Urban Decay Build Your Own Palette, a couple of months ago (if not, you can check it out here).
The original palette holds 6 eyeshadows and I remember people mentioning that you may not need that many colours, especially when travelling... well, here comes the perfect compromise: a 4-pan palette!

As with every Urban Decay product, the packaging is sooo cool - I love the shiny tin heart and the size is perfect for every day use, as well; easy to carry in your handbag for touch-ups and day-to-night transformation!
It works with the same principle, of course, where the eyeshadows pop in and out so you can create and change the combination every time that you want.
Urban Decay Build Your Own 4-pan Palette*
The palette comes with a complimentary exclusive colour: Breathless* - a medium neutral taupe with stunning shimmering and ideal for daytime. 
I also treated myself to a couple of extra shadows :)
S&M: I fell in love with Money but unfortunately, it's not available as a single shadow so I went with S&M which is very similar. S&M is a metallic silver with a hint of frost and pretty cool toned. I don't have any grey in my collection and this will be great to create a monochrome smokey eye and perfect for the festive season.
Woodstock: I can't resist a fuchsia and Woodstock is definitely a vibrant pearly hot pink. I mainly got it because I fell in love with a tutorial where is blended with Freelove - my all time UD favourite shadow.
It's very pigmented and It can also be used as a wet liner.
So, this is the finished product: 
l-r / t-b: Breathless, Freelove, S&M, Woodstock
There are 3 quads palette available now at Debenhams:
Breathless, Rock & Melt... all with beautiful designs and worth checking out!!!

  4. This is really cute - I love the whole build your own palette thing, I have the Fashionista blush one and love it. I always end up buying palettes and having some colours that I don't end up using, so this is a great alternative! x

  5. Choosing your own colours to put in is such a good idea, I always end up with about four colours I never use in every palette I own! x
