For spring, there are several new shades of Urban Decay Eyeshadows now available in the permanent range–several are shades we have seen in previously released palettes but a few are totally new. Some of them are exclusive to Urban Decay’s website as well. There are also two new Moondust Eyeshadow singles! Here are swatches…

I’m glad they are extending Punk to the permanent line – I have it in the Gwen palette and it’s awesome – so pigmented and creamy!
Relish and Spike look like their formula is amazing, too – and very on-trend. I’m actually surprised that UD hasn’t released a red/burgundy palette to compete with Modern Renaissance, it seems like something they could do really well.
Relish! Amazing pigmentation for a red, and it reminds me of Rizzo haha.
*Insert my obligatory hatred of drug/sex/generally just inappropriate makeup shade names here.* But I have to say “Narcotic” really does it for me. I’m pasty pale and considering going back to platinum so Ice Queen is something likely to happen.
Oh me, oh my….C-Note, Thunderbird, Smokeout and maybe Serious (if it’s better than how it appears to swatch) and Blitz have all caught my eye (and heart). I’ll be eager to see if I have near-dupes of any/all of them because I really feel I’m drowning in eyeshadow lately. I mean, if you have to drown, that’s a good way to drown (because it’s a whole lot safer than water) but I just feel overwhelmed once again and that keeps me from using my stash to its full potential of enjoy-ability!
…and it turns out that I actually OWN Smokeout (in the Vice2 palette) and C Note was pretty much the only reason I wanted to get Vice4, though I held off on it). See what I mean about being swamped by eyeshadows!!!
Well, at least the one that broke in transit was appropriate.
Liking a lot of these. I’m keeping an eye on 1985 and Relish.
Relish I have been looking for!
Some of these look really beautiful. What’s up with Serious, though? I can’t even tell what color it wanted to be? Will await your reviews. Thank you, Christine.
I gasped when I looked at the swatch of Relish. UD Single shadows are one product from them I have NEVER had an issue with, particularly their mattes. Relish looks like it’s going to be a beautiful representation of the brand.
Chaos looks way worse compared to the version in the Electric palette. RIP, Electric palette.
Such a huge mistake – it should have been permanent. I have no idea what I’ll do when I hit pan on that (will be soon too).
omg yes Blitz! That was the only color I was sad to lose when I sold my Vice palette.
Relish and Spike, here I come!
Looks like some of the colors from the Gwen Stefani palette are here… I picked up that palette at Nordstrom Rack for $24.97 and surprisingly, I really like it. I think I can pass on these shades. I do like Spike, though! Punk and Blonde are my favorite colors from the Gwen palette.
I’m in HUGE trouble here! I just fell hard for Vice, C-Note, Punk, Relish, Intergalactic and probably Midnight Blast as well. This is gonna get expensive!
I reeeeeally love Relish!
Smokeout is really pretty. It’s the most tempting to me, with that shift you can really wear it with anything or make a neutral look more interesting.
I really like these colors! Especially blitz, 1985, and relish.
Blitz has been one of my favorite UD eyeshadows since it came out in one of the Vice palettes!!They re released it in one of the other Vices but it wasn’t as good of a formula as the first release it was still good but definitely not the same or as good.I hope this one is as good as the one I fell in love with.Relish,Spike, and Narcotic are beautiful I have 2 of these already in my UD.com cart I was just waiting on your swatches Christine!Im going to get the 2 Moondust also because I love them in general?.
Wow 3 from Gwen Stefani palette, and I noticed they put Baby in a recent palette as well. Now they just gotta make Bootycall from Naked 2 permanent, that shade is 100.
Relish and Blond! What happened to Chaos? Lol
C note and Thunderbird are beautiful shades, but a couple are not (Chaos and Serious). By why, oh why is UD persisting with the drug references for the names of their products? It’s a serious turn off.
That’s been their MO since the brand was founded. “Roach” was one of their original shades
Agreed!!! So unnecessary and why do they think it’s cool?? Who thinks that’s cool, 15 year olds??
Probably because they are called Urban Decay and it’s all about drug, sex sale and other urban vice… ?
The matte ones are gorgeous!!!
I just squealed out loud with delight. I’m so happy to see some of the shades from their discontinued palettes: Vice 4, Gwen Stefani, Electric Palette. I still have my Gwen Stefani and Electric palettes but I gave my niece my Vice 4 palette since the only 2 colors I used from it were C-note & 1985. I will pick up C-note, it’s does the most amazing smokey eye and Relish makes me drool.
C-Note and Blitz look really interesting. Liking the looks of Vice, Blonde, Thunderbird, Smokeout 🙂 It looks like Chaos and Serious are going to be disappointing, though, maybe Narcotic too 🙁
Just after saying I’m going to try downsizing my collection, I’m going to say Thunderbird and Midnight Blast are speaking very loudly to me.
Oh my…Vice, C Note, Thunderbird, Extragalactic, and Midnight Blast. I’ll have to see about the Moondust shadows. Sometimes there’s just too much glitter fallout, but both of those look nice.
Very few we haven’t seen in LE palettes before. I’m disappointed
Fun! Shame it took them this long to make a matte red.
That Relish swatch looks awesome for a matte red. Wish UD would do more reds/pinks in their eyeshadow range in general.
Helllooooooo Relish and Spike!!! Come to mama!!!
These look GREAT! Midnight Blast is a stunner. And I love the look of Relish.
Ah, FINALLY Chaos gets a single. I bought the Electric palette just for that shade.
Yay singles! Punk and Relish are probably the colors I would go for, but Punk looks a bit dry. Relish swatches beautifully, though.
I’m looking at you, Relish and C Note!!
Wow, the majority of these look pretty good. But I do need to do an invitory of what I already have. Several of these names sound familiar. But Relish does not and it looks fantastic!
Give me extragalactic and midnight blast! Always want whatever moondusts come out
Blitz will be a decent substitute for Honey I GUESS. Still holding on to my ancient palette that has Honey in it.
I picked up Midnight Blast and Thunderbird. Midnight blast is very pretty, but Thunderbird has a black base, which is super disappointing. I wanted it to be intense shimmer, but it applies splotchy, and I got black shadow everywhere-not cute!
Does anybody have a made up eye look with Relish? I’m afraid it would just look like I’ve been crying all night on me. I did look OK in Salazen Grum though. Is Vice like any of the other purples in the UD line up? I’ve got the Vice XX,Vice 4, moondust, naked smoky and Alice through the looking glass palettes, psychedelic sister, afterburner, and plague. Good thing I checked out my palettes before ordering since I saw some of the colors I was considering I already had. LOL
OK, I see that Freakshow is a possible dupe, which I have in one of my palettes?
I meant Backfire not afterburner, LOL. Though that would be a good name for UD to use in the future.
