What she said. 🙂
Yep. I think I need this in my life.
Oh, yeah, this one is tops on my wish list.
I was all set to get Vice 4, but then this popped up. I think I might wear more of these, but I do already own a few, too. Oh, the humanity!
The swatches look like eyeliners.
I have the 15 year anniversary set.
I am not going to get greedy.
Will skip this one.
Love to see how you grade it.
I have most of these, and there are a few I won’t get much use from, but Bordello has been on my “list” forever, Flatline & West are great neutrals, & Flashback is sooo pretty (although it does look likena UD single I have…), so the cost is justified if only for those 4…
Omen and Voodoo are beautiful!! There are a little too many blue shades for my taste though.
Yes, I’m going to need this and Vice 4, thank you!
I have Flashback already, but OMG, these swatches are gorgeous!! I don’t see any duds at all, very impressive considering how many blue and purple shadows are in here. And all of the colors will go great with my brown eyes. Yep, I think I need this!
Okay, now I feel silly for being so pessimistic earlier. Someone commented below that these look like eyeliners, and I agree. I can’t decide; if I get it, it would be only the second palette I’ve ever purchased. I love the colors and finish for pops of color, both as shadows and with my liner/sealer, with neutrals, and to bring out the overtones or undertones in some of my more complex duochrome-y shadows.
So on the fence …
I really like Voodoo.
Oooh I want this! Omen, Bordello, Flatline are right up my alley, and all those blues/turquoises..❤❤❤
I kind of want one of these to get a bad review to save my wallet…
I have so many of these shades but do I ever WAAAAANT Protest!
Okay, just to add – I was looking at the Dupe List simply to see which shadows I had (I wasn’t sure about a few) and when I saw them (I do have them – Voodoo, Madness, Prank, Bordello…) and saw the ratings, my first thought was “Is Urban Decay deliberately trying to release a palette of F rated eyeshadows?”
I noticed that as well, but with these swatches looks like they have improved the formulas on those shades. O_O Prank looks soo much better.
Wow, this is a pleasant surprise for me. I haven’t purchased an eyeshadow palette for a little while now but I can totally see myself wearing these throughout winter! So gorgeous!
THIS ONE over Vice 4, for SURE. Disappointed in the Vice line in general and the new one isn’t looking any better than previous iterations. But this one looks promising!!! Love the colors. Own a couple of them already (deep end, bordello) but if it gets a B or better, I will buy this! This one seems to be a way better “deal” price per ounce than Vice also. I wish Grasshopper and that other beautiful and more complex green next to it (forget the name) were in this one, instead of repeats from previous palettes.
C-note! That’s it. Beautiful. Also Arctic, Flame, and Crowbar!! Arg I wish they had a MUCH better create your own palette system like Inglot, Buxom, Mac, MUFE and now even Nars do! Cmon UD get it together and overhaul that whole system with discounts for multiple singles in a much bigger (and more compact) palette!
Yes, I wish flame and grasshopper were in this but overall I like it over vice.
I love it, and I’ll buy it – but damnit, why no mattes?!?!
This is highly tempting to me because I only have one UD palette, so these shades would be completely new to my collection. I will see if I can get this as a birthday gift. 😀
It’s so pretty. And most of the colors are ones I have or would like. Which is kind of the problem, in terms of purchasing it, myself: I straight-up don’t need it. If I didn’t have a sizeable collection already, I’d be all over this. Plus? No plain black shade. And, with the other 15th Anniversary shades showing back up here, it’s too bad they didn’t find a way to work Half Truth into the palette. It goes great with Omen, and would probably work well with the rest of that second row.
The colors look nice but the blues look really similar. I’ll pass on this
This one is likely going to cost me an arm and a leg in Australia, but… It’s just so pretty, it deserves all the heart eyes. Looking forward to seeing how the formula compares to normal, Christine!
Omg, I love the colors of this one more than Vice 4 but I want both! Gosh, I am gonna be so poor…
Hey Christine! So this will launch exclusively in UD’s site but does that mean it will be exclusively sold there? Will it be available through other retailers at a later date? Just wondering how I can get my hands on it since UD doesn’t directly ship to Canada quite yet. Thanks!
It is only available through UD as far as I know!
Wish I could buy this now!!
No mattes…
Deep End and Junkie look very close to to one another. It’s like the electric palette allover again. Lots of cool blues and teals but less warmer tones.
I feel like this is in direct competition with KVD’s upcoming rainbow palette.
I really love this. Vice 4 is tempting and just different enough but if i can only have one of the new palettes I think this is the one. Will go nicely with the new kat von d palette.
Wow, it seems like there’s a palette with some good quality blues, greens and purples! It’ll definitely round out my collection (if it gets a good grade)! 🙂
Don’t need…. Still want.
I’m glad UD are doing more large scale coloured palettes.
I haven’t bought a palette in nearly a year, I may have to splurge and get this one. I love the blues and purples.
I think I like this palette more than Vice 4 although I am still not sure if I am going to get it.
Flatline and Bordello look amazing!
Beautiful colors!
I like this one too, but I feel like….there’s too much blue.
And I love to look at blue eyeshadow so I always buy it, but I never wear it.
So it’s probably a good move to pass on this for me.
Or I’ll be fiscally irresponsible and get it anyway.
I must have this. Can’t wait for your review. The blues are stunning and the bronze to browns love my eye color of grey/blue.
This looks glorious too. I have Vice 2 and a few of their shadows are here. Phyrra was saying yesterday that Prank seemed much better in this palette than in Vice 2 (a bit patchy there). I love it.
I’m on the fence about this one. I would only be interested if some of these were reformulated (for example: prank, voodoo, madness).
Too many blue blue/green green shades :..(
I feel like a lot of these shades have been in previous palettes?
omen!!!! jdsksd and all the swatches look beautiful how sad that i’m kind of afraid of wearing bright colors without looking like a clown. i’d love to see how these review
Some interesting colour combos in there, but will wait for reviews before making any decisions.
Looks like this might be a winner. It’ll be so interesting to read the reviews!
YES. they look so good all together. i haven’t even checked to see how many of these i already own but i want it. 🙂
O. M. G. I didn’t see this coming with all the attention on Vice 4!!!
This > Vice 4, in my opinion.
WANT.
NEED.
This is a thing of stunning beauty! All these luscious jewel tones! I actually thought I had commented on this post, but nope. Between this, Vice 4 and also Too Faced Stardust Vegas Nay….oh man, I’m gonna be one broke Glam-Granny! ?
Holy moly! Launches on my birthday! As a UD junkie this is wonderful! I especially love how many blue shades there are!
I. Want. This.
Is it launching oct.20 or same day as vice 4 because I’ve been hearing it is coming sept.12??
I don’t see this on there site.. ???
I am so sad, I listened to you and thought the UD site was launching Spectrum today as this post said. They weren’t ?
I’m really sorry, Natalie. The information I received was directly from Urban Decay. They changed their distribution, and I was not informed of that until I asked about whether or not it was launching this morning.
Is there any way for you to find out when UD Spectrum palette will be released? October 20th was yesterday, but there was no sign of it anywhere, other than eBay…
I posted an update on the launch post.
just spoke with urban decay and they have no info when this will be released to purchase :((
🙁
Still not available. When will this be released?
