Crux and Dark Cloud are so pretty!
Crux I’m super excited for. It reminds me of a few shade so I’m curious for dupes.
Vape and Chem Trail I can see being more universally wearable.
This is dry and wet I assume?
Yep!
OMG, stop stop! My wallet is already in a panic, and we haven’t even seen the holiday collections yet! So glad I resisted the Moondust palette, as I like these lighter colors much better, but $21 each (eeek!!!) I think Horizon is a must buy for me, love that brown with pink sparkle, hope the fallout is minimal. Also eyeing a few other colors. I’m hoping Sephora or Ulta will eventually get them, so I can catch a sale/promo
My sentiments exactly. Do you ever wonder what it’s like to live in a world where all your makeup fits in one or 2 normal bathroom drawers and stuff like this means absolutely nothing to you?
None of my extended family or friends are into makeup at all! They wear nothing or the very bare minimum, maybe some bb cream, powder, light blush, light lip gloss. No shadows or barely there neutrals. In the last 30 year,s I’ve never seen anyone wear blue or purple shadow, and red lipstick is reserved for very special occasions (attending wedding, party, maybe Christmas). My sister-in-law brags that she only needs 1 lipstick and 1 blush, and she hasn’t changed her look in the 25 yrs that I’ve known her. I seriously think I have more makeup than 20 of them combined! So I’m definitely the unique one in our circle, and some of them think I’m crazy, but I think the exact same of them LOL
Crux, Horizon, and Dark Cloud have my attention. They’re all lovely, though.
Those 3 for me, too! Plus, Chem Trail, too!
Chem Trail is really pretty, too.
Dark Cloud reminds me of Colourpop Meow, of which I missed out on getting again! Also really love Chem Trail and Horizon because they’re just different enough from the usual shades one tends to see in this type of formula. Crux would look awesome with Galaxy from the Moondust palette for an intense teal-toned smokey glitter look!
They named it Chem Trail?
Uuuuuuuummmmm.
Exactly what I was thinking. Although I shouldn’t be surprised as some of their eyeliner colors are Bump, Yeyo and Kush. It bothers me more than it should, particularly because a lot of teens buy them.
And this old broad has always bought about the Hindu Kush. Maybe I’ll keep it that way.
A Chemtrail is the line left in the sky by jets thought to contain chemicals used by the government for possibly ‘iffy’ things. Maybe it’s turning us into zombies, or cosmetic obsessed junkies! I’m totally cool with the latter…Unless Chemtrail now has some alternative usage, (sighs and heads over to the urban dictionary)
Stellar looks like Mac Amber…
Moondust is A dupe FOR “MAC CLUB EYESHADOW”
Sorry i wanted to say CRUST
Crux, Horizon, Chem Trail, Dark Cloud, Sky Walk… oh man. I’m gonna be broke!
This is the stuff of which a blown budge is made! Oh my but what a lot of shimmery beauty – Crux, Dark Cloud, Gamma Ray (maybe), Horizon (also a maybe as it looks like it could be fallout-y with that not-well-integrated glitter). I can’t wait to read your full reviews, Christine. Oh, I hope several of them are dupes of shadows I already have so I can convince myself I don’t really need ’em.
Oooooh so glad you’re reviewing these! I’ve already bought 3 of these – but I don’t see a couple of the new ones here. Shockwave (a berry) and Interstellar (a lighter gold). I bought Shockwave and Crux and Stellar. Haven’t used them yet!!!
I think the few you mentioned are from the last launch 🙂
When was the last launch? Shockwave and Interstellar were still new to me! And it said they are exclusive to UD site so I figured they were newer. Hmm.. Wonder why I never heard about the previous launch
I have these in Crux, Stellar, Horizon, and Dark Cloud. It’s really hard to pick a favorite out of those. And now that I’ve seen your swatches I’ll probably end up picking up the rest of these lol.
Someone called themself a Maggie for liking these sparkles. I’m the same way. I’m just like my three yr old grit granddaughter. It’s just fun.
LOL, when I was a kid, I used to drizzle a design with glue on paper, then sprinkle different color glitter all over it , then shake the paper and watch as my drawing magically appeared in all its sparkling glory. Every time I see one of these Moondust shadows, I squeal like a kid… ..glitter! I’m going to be 50 in a few years, have never outgrown sparkly stuff, and probably never will!
Nope, you won’t, Katherine! Love of glitter STAYS. I’ll be 60 in 2 1/2 years, and still wear glitter! ?
I’m not a glitter girl but oh my goodness, Horizon and Stellar! I need to own them quickly!
I’m torn, literally, between getting Crux and getting Dark Cloud… I can only have one…
Crux is like a less interesting version of the UD shadow “lounge” and Dark Cloud just looks like a big old mess.
I got all of these as soon as they released them.Its nice that they have the kickback discounts on the -Urban Decay website!I love these shadows.
Nika, do you have Interstellar, which was released last year? If so, is it a yellow gold or champagne beige? I see different swatches online, and can’t tell what the true color is
Not who you’re asking, but I have Interstellar and I would say neither. It’s more of a true gold (so right between yellow and platinum).
Thank you!
Katherine T. Hi!I do have Interstellar it is way more champagne.I’d say a golden champagne with a subtle pink tone in the glitter.It is very pretty.
Thank you !
Lovely colours, but I get the feeling that they will need lots and lots of primer to keep them on.
It’s not my favourite formula but they are quite pretty!
Vape looks like the moon dust version of Verve that I’ve been wishing for!
Crux looks amaaazing, right up my alley!
These are nice, but I just picked up the moondust palette, so I’m good.
just last night i was wondering why isn’t there a navy blue in the moondust line, looks like ill finally get what i was looking for yay
I really like the shades so I can’t wait to hear your thoughts! Vape, Crux, and Horizon were my favorite colors though I’m also really liking Dark Cloud!
Ooh. I’m seeing Horizon on the horizon of my future purchases, lol… are any of these the UD.com exclusives or are they all available everywhere?
