Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadows: Ruthless, Freakshow, Frigid


Ruthless

Deluxe Eyeshadows for the Luxe Lovin’

Urban Decay really outdid themselves this season with the sheer amount of new products they launched! With the fall comes three new shades of their deluxe eyeshadow ($18.00 each) in Freakshow, Ruthless, and Frigid. These are actually some of the first single eyeshadows for me — I’ve mostly just experienced their extremely high-in-value palettes they’ve put out All three shades are smooth, pigmented, and easy to blend.

  • Ruthless is a champagne shade with just a touch of silver sheen.
  • Freakshow is a deep, rich purple with a little bit of red tones to it. It has a cool violet-blue sheen.
  • Frigid is a dark blue with purple mixed in and a soft, silvery-blue sheen.

Anyone else snatch these up yet?

Really pretty colors, but just looking at the swatches it looks like there is a ton of fallout on Freakshow and Fallout. I wish UD would not put *so* much glitter in their shadows, because otherwise they have some gorgeous colors!!

Oooh, can’t wait to check these out! I really like the UD Deluxe eyeshadows – they’re really pigmented and the colours go on so smoothly. I love purple eyeshadows, so really looking forward to checking the purple ones out!

as a collector of deluxe singles (for the packaging >.>) i have to have these- even though i know i won’t use two out of three of them all the time… but wouldn’t ruthless look great with scratch or underground shadows from UD?

If Frigid is like MAC’s Deep Truth, which do you prefer?
Which has better color payoff?

I tend to prefer MAC over Urban Decay because I HATE the glitter fall out from UD. I have the UD Bamboo book (Can’t think of what it’s called), and I can’t wear Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Grifter, OilSlick, Uzi, Kiddie Pool, etc because the damn glitter fallout drives me crazy. The only colors I have from them that I can wear without going crazy is Asphyxia, Sellout, and Half-Baked.

For the record, I tend to wear more mineral makeup these days and I don’t experience fall out with it, but I do with UD! Drives me up the wall!
