I'll pass on this collection. The colors remind me of MAC's 2009 Style Black Collection. MAC's colors seemed much better.

I bought this today along with the BOSIII and the naked palette (3 for 2 on urban decay at boots uk :D) When I first saw this I really didnt think of getting it but the colours are beautiful and they arent chunky

I'm glad I don't like this one. UD has been coming out with too many amazing palettes!

I will definitely not be getting this. I feel like the price is too high when I can just get the book of shadows instead and the value is so much better for the price.

I've seen a swatch of Cobra and it's really stunning. I can't wait to get this palette to wear for winter, it's exactly what I've been looking for. Anna said "who doesn't own a matte black?", the answer is me.

I don't think I could pull this palette off. It's probably my lack of skill, but black based shadows tend to make me look like I got punched in the face, no matter how carefully I apply!

anyone know a decent dupe for libertine? it's the only color on this palette i feel like i want/need.

i'd rather get the vegan palette. thanks though (:

Can you post a look from this palette?

I don't have this palette, sorry, Tiffany!

I am very tempted but I want the MAC's VVC MES. Besides, I am still working with the Style Black MES so will skip on this.

I really like the darker colours. I just might give this palette a chance.

Christine, Can you suggest a super pigmented black eyeshadow? I personally haven't had any luck finding a pure black eyeshadow. I'm intrigued that this UD palette says it will have the richest black eyeshadow, black dog. Do you think it will ever be sold individually? Thank you!

Sugarpill's is the darkest I've seen!

Not very wearable colors, especially for fair skinned women like me

Lipglossiping.com has a review of this product if you're curious. Frankly, the colors and the price just aren't worth it for me. I agree with some of the other comments; just layer some sparkly black on a nice bright color and you're set.

Thanks for letting us know about the review on lipglossiping.com. I just checked it out and was super disappointed by how these shadows look! So pretty in the package, not so much on the skin except with that exact primer.

I love this palette! Dark colors are my fav but I can't buy this til Friday...... Hope Sephora still has some left unlike the launch of the BOS III which sold out in 10 minutes!

You think this would be a good value for someone who has zero dark eyeshadows, no black eyeliner or primer potion, and only one UD eyeshadow?

I haven't tried it personally, so I have no clue what the texture/payoff is like!

Okay. Well thanks for the reply :) I'll be sure to read your review once you have it.

I'd pass. You can create any of these shades with the Book of Shadows palettes I and II. :-/

im too in love with my UD naked palette to pay this any mind ;)

Just ordered this from Debenhams (UK) - can't wait!

They are just taking advantage of my love of rock and roll, and they know just how to do it!

It doesn't seem like a necessary item, although I'm very tempted. I can personally never have enough dark shadows, but I can always achieve a similar effect with a black base and a shimmery or duo-toned shadow on top.

I wish this was more like the Naked palette but with darker colors, then I might have been all over this.

No swatches? I'm assuming you don't have this one yet or you haven't had time.

i think i'll pass... just not very excited about this. I would rather spend $20 and get the BOS3. :)

I got mine last week and I love it. The palette is small so really easy to tote around, and it's much more 'me' than the Naked palette, so I passed on that one. I didn't own a matte black either - all my shadows are UD so quite sparkly/glittery. Super excited by this. :)

None of these colors are unique to me. Pass.

I saw this in my email this morning. This totally reminds me of some NYX trios I used to have. For some reason though, it doesn't wow me! I think after the awesome NAKED palette, I can't see them topping that for awhile!

UD is so meh lately! i dont think Naked was that great because it has so many perm/re-release shades. whack.

UD will not get another dollar of mine. I'm so tired of their smarmy marketing practices (e.g. BOS III and previous releases). I don't care if it's THE coolest makeup release ever, I have officially boycotted them.

I'm getting there right with ya. :(

I would love this but I feel like most of the shadows in urban decay palettes are always too glittery like school play makeup/ have lots of fallout not sure of the single ones though

too much black anyone? a goth's dream! I bet Taylor Momsen will buy the whole stock XD

haha! So true! She would love this palette.

I don't like their shadows that have glitter in them. Gets all over my face no matter how careful I am. Love the colors though!

I usually don't wear colors this dark but UD shadows are my fave and this palette doesn't contain any repeat colors WOO-HOO!

I love the color names (especially Black Dog and Barracuda), but I think I'll pass on this one. None of the colors make me think, "OMG I must have this!"

I already got this as it came out in the UK and I love it! and as for who own a matte black...I didn't! The colours are beautiful, but you need to use a good base, something like Pixie Epoxy from Fryianne works well, the gold is my favourite shade at the moment

Oh I must have this, it's so.. me :D and the shadow name "Black Dog" really appeals to me 'cause it's one of my favourite Led Zeppelin -songs, and I'm sure that it's where the shadow got it's name from :)

OMG me too!! As soon as I saw the name I said yup I'm all over that palette!! Lol! I love Led Zeppelin and Urban Decay!!

hahah i was thinking the same thing:)

can you do some swatches and review please? :)
