Urban Decay Eyeshadows (Sephora Exclusives) Review, Photos, Swatches Reviews Contains: Affiliate Links, Sample 5/25/10May 25, 2010 Urban Decay Hits All the Right Notes with These Sexy Six!There are six Urban Decay Eyeshadows ($17.00) newly released and Sephora exclusives. All six shades are richly pigmented, smooth to the touch, and easy to blend. They really represent why Urban Decay eyeshadows are so raved about. Not a single one is sheer, and none of these have gritty or glittery textures, so they’re just beautiful, seamless shades for the color lover.Woodstock is a vibrant medium hot pink with subtle fuchsia shimmer. It has a low pearly sheen. It’s not frosty at all!Free Love is a warmed-up peach melon with a golden peach sheen and slight frost finish. It’s like a darkened version of X.Psychedelic Sister is a medium-dark purple with red undertones and an iridescent violet sheen-shimmer. It’s not as blue-based as Flash.Aquarius is a pale aqua-teal with a silver-metallic sheen. This was the frostiest of the new six.Haight is a slight teal-blue with a frost finish and silver sheen. It’s different than Dashiki, but it’s not super teal like Shattered.Dashiki is a brightened medium sky blue with a soft pearled sheen.My favorites were definitely Woodstock, Free Love, and Dashiki. I don’t have anything quite like Dashiki in my stash, so it’ll be a nice shade for the summer season. If you’ve been thinking about these, they really are fantastic. These are some of Urban Decay’s more impressive shades, just in terms of texture and pigmentation.Have you checked out Urban Decay’s new shades?If you want to know more about how products are evaluated, read out Rating System FAQ! 🙂Product: 29/30Value: 8/10Ease of Use: 4/5Packaging: 4/5Recommendation: Excellent quality, richly pigmented, buttery texture–the best of Urban Decay’s eyeshadow textures.Availability: Sephora Dashiki & Haight Woodstock & Free Love Psychedelic Sister & Aquarius Urban Decay Woodstock Eyeshadow Urban Decay Woodstock Eyeshadow Urban Decay Woodstock Eyeshadow Urban Decay Free Love Eyeshadow Urban Decay Free Love Eyeshadow Urban Decay Free Love Eyeshadow Urban Decay Psychedelic Sister Eyeshadow Urban Decay Psychedelic Sister Eyeshadow Urban Decay Psychedelic Sister Eyeshadow Urban Decay Aquarius Eyeshadow Urban Decay Aquarius Eyeshadow Urban Decay Aquarius Eyeshadow Urban Decay Haight Eyeshadow Urban Decay Haight Eyeshadow Urban Decay Haight Eyeshadow Urban Decay Dashiki Eyeshadow Urban Decay Dashiki Eyeshadow Urban Decay Dashiki Eyeshadow Woodstock, Free Love, Psychedelic Sister, Aquarius, Haight, Dashiki Woodstock, Free Love, Psychedelic Sister Aquarius, Haight, Dashiki
lucy xoooh lovely! any chance you know when they’re coming to the uk? 🙂Haight reminds me of birds & berries from Liberty of London! and i must have Free Love & Psychadelic sister :D:D
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I believe @urbandecay411 said early June.
DevilishDollAre these permanent? I really wanna get Woodstock, Free Love, Aquarius, Haight, and Dashiki. BTW, you should totally do a look with Free Love, Firecracker from MAC To The Beach and Psychadelic Sister. I think that would be soooo pretty.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »They don’t say limited edition on Sephora, so I would imagine they would be permanent 🙂
TabiI did a look almost exactly like this last weekend, except I used X instead of Free Love and Flash instead of Psychadelic Sister. It was really pretty!
AliciaThey are actually not permanent they are just sephora exclusives they will be gone in October I believe who knows though if there is enough love they may relaunch them.
RachaelI adore these eyeshadows! I love UD anyway (the non glittery ones) I wonder how this will work in the UK as we dont have Sephora (boo :() wonder if they will just release it normally i do hope so i must have at least half of these
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I believe @urbandecay411 said June 2nd or thereabouts.
StephWow! I’m wondering if I could use Woodstock as blush… What do you think? (with light application, of course)
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Not, not even close. Haight would be closer, but it’s not the same.
AnitacskaOoh these are so pretty! 🙂 Haight looks a lot like Flipside, is it actually similar in real life?
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I think it’s less teal, actually! Kind of similar, but not quite 100% the same.
EmilyHow to the blues/greens compare to the shadows coming out with To The Beach? Also, is Psychedelic Sister anything like Crash from UD? Thanks Christine! You rock!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Shimmermoss is more like UD’s Shattered, which is tealer than Haight. Psychedelic Sister is lighter than Crash, I believe. I don’t own Crash, though.
AnGeLwInGzThanks for the swatches. I already have Haight, Dashiki, and Aquarius, which I purchased online without seeing them in person because I can always count on UD having beautiful blue shadows. I wanted to get Free Love but I wasn’t sure if it looked more like Jones (don’t like) or X (love). Your reviews were helpful and now I may get Woodstock and Psychadelic Sister as well!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I don’t have Jones, but it definitely reminded me of X or MAC Melon Pigment or Benefit’s Melons. Just not quite as a duochrome-y (which isn’t a bad thing)… overall, a little darker, more peachy.
NottThanks for the swatches. Do you know if the international Sephora are going to have these products too? Thanks a lot.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I heard UK will get ’em early June. That’s all I know!
Beauty addictThese are awesome! Yesterday I took photos of mine UD single eyeshadows and will post my review tomorrow. Anyway, I LOVE them! The texture is great, the color payoff is even better! 😀 Worth every penny! 🙂
AlexisI bought Psychedelic Love and I’m going back this weekend to pick up Free Love and Haight. I smudged PL on my lower lash line when I did my own version of the “summer of love” look featured on the UD model. It looks great wet. Great color payoff and no fall out (then again it’s not a glittery shade.)
Tina MarieOh my! Amazing colors!! You were right on twitter, eyeshadows photograph so well. Especially when you take them! I really love how all the blues look.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Nope, neither has the duochrome-ish-ness of Parrot.
LNUI don’t think I particularly want any, but I am excited they released new shades without glitter, which gives me hope in the future they will do the same!
Krista DiorGreat new selection of colors from UD! The pigment is amazing. Looking forward to trying these.
Rominahow does Psychodelic Sister compare to Mac’s Fashion Groupie? i missed it and have been searching for a dupe ever since…
CarrieI love Aquarius and Free Love. Woodstock and Psychadelic Sister are also pretty. Haight and Dashiki look nearly identical.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I think it’s pretty different, since Parrot has an almost duochrome finish to it.
CarolI’m loving Woodstock! I remember tweeting a while back about having a dream where Urban Decay brought out a bright pink eyeshadow, and they asked if I worked at Sephora, LOL.
Kerryi love woodstock but im not sure if it would work on me :/ definately would like free love and possibly one of the blues too.. maybe haight 🙂
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Too blue, not enough flash of green/teal.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Brighter/more purple!
Orange FizzHa, I so love the names. Anyone feel that the names have a 70’s vibe to it or is it just me? D;
dolce ariaAre these limited edition, or permanent, just exclusive to sephora? I need to figure out how to budget for these!Sooooo very pretty!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Sephora doesn’t say limited edition, but a reader commented that they’re limited.
ChristyI want aquarius because that’s my sign but it looks close to colors I already have, like ub flipside and Mac shimermoss,anyways they are all beautiful colors.
BethI have Free Love and Haight. I haven’t done a lot with Free Love yet, but I like Haight in my crease, with MAC Aquadisiac all over, and Pfloof! on the inner corner. I think I will probably pick up Psychedelic Sister next time I’m in Sephora. Dashiki is pretty, but I think it is very close to UD’s deluxe shadow Peace, which I have in a palette.
JennyWoodstock, Free Love and Aquarius are so pretty! I´ll try to buy them because they look really worth eyeshadows 🙂
JillyBWow, I didn’t even know about these, thanks! I love UD eyeshadows so I’ll be looking for these. My first choices would be Free Love and Aquarius but I’ll probably end up with the rest too.
reshamThe texture of these makes me want them, but I don;t wear colored e/s often…I wish they launch amazing neutrals in these same finish….that wud be AWESOME!!!
NoelleThe next time I go to Sephora, I want to get FreeLove. Such a pretty shade for Summer! I will pair it with coral cheeks and bronzer everywhere!
SalviniaWow! Pschycadelic Sister, Aquarius and Haight are gorgeous! I’ve never tried Urban Decay eyeshadow before, but maybe I should.
Danielle SharkeyI feel like Aquarius is very similar to UD Green Goddess e/s that I just realized today is no longer apart of the UD line at Sephora… Does anyone else see the similarity?
Mariamore colors?! they’re so pretty! yikes! i already have a ton of their eyeshadows! i really like free love and aquarius.
RosannaWould these already be in the Sephora stores?How similar is UD Woodstock to MAC Lala eyeshadow???
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Not sure, to be honest!Woodstock is a pinker – Lala is a tiny bit more fuchsia-purple.
Amanda KellyHow would you compare UD’s deluxe Sting shadow to Woodstock? A bit more pink, or still pretty similar?
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I don’t have that one!
AliciaI have green goddess and Aquarius and they are really similar…just think if green goddess and shattered had a baby
diavolobelloDamn, they should make a palette with these because all of them are great. If you looked at the eye shadows I buy/use most and narrowed it down to 6 colors, they would look almost exactly like these.
KristenYou know I’m crazy and own every urban decay color they sell and I was so upset because urban decay was coming out with the same old colors and throwing a new name on them…now they actually come out with new ones and Im broke!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »LOL! We got what we asked for, at least 😛
BridgetteYay new eyeshadows! I hope I can see some of these shades in future Book of Shadows palettes. I really love all of the eyeshadows, Woodstock is my fave.
AmyI think my favorite of these that I don’t have a dupe of is Aquarius. That shade is soooo pretty and soooo foil-ey! Not a word, but describes it perfectly! 😀 I really want that one.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Much, much lighter and peachier. It’s more like Melon pigment.
MellyI drove 30 miles to get free love eyeshadow because of this review and it was totally worth it! Hello coral eyes and bronze face makeup!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Maybe something like Surreal or Tilt.
RachelMarieIs Free Love close enough to X that you don’t need both? Because I have X but want Free Love but don’t want to waste the money if I can help it haha
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Kind of… but yet not. It’s a little more pigmented/darker. I don’t know – if you don’t wear X much, you could probably pass!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I think you could skip, though they’re not the same. I’d say Psychedelic Sister is lighter and more red-based.
ElysiaHow does Dashiki compare to Painkiller? is it worth getting if I already have painkiller? I think it’s so pretty!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Dashiki is a lot darker, bluer.
hannahhey temptalia,i was wondering if urban decay had an eyeshadow in a palette or single that was a dupe for MAC’s antiqued eyeshadow becuase i recently found out they tetsed on animals but i really love the colour! any suggestions?
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Neither MAC nor Urban Decay test on animals.
hannahoh no i meant i found out that MAC tests on animals i know urban decay does not. i Found out they tested from this website which i can’t find at the moment. Anyway i was wondering if urban decay, too faced, smh, or stila had a dupe for MAcs antiqued eyeshadow.Please and Thank you 🙂
ChristineHi Hannah,As stated, MAC Does not – it has long been their policy. Not that I am an advocate for PETA, but even PETA lists MAC as a company that does not test on animals.Please use the Swatch Gallery to find an appropriate dupe – http://www.temptalia.com/swatch-gallery
