Urban Decay Eyeshadows (Sephora Exclusives) Review, Photos, Swatches
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.

oooh 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
I believe @urbandecay411 said early June.
yayy thanks 😀 x
The packaging reminds me a LOT of MAC :O
Are 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.
They don’t say limited edition on Sephora, so I would imagine they would be permanent 🙂
I 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!
They 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.
I 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
I believe @urbandecay411 said June 2nd or thereabouts.
Wow! I’m wondering if I could use Woodstock as blush… What do you think? (with light application, of course)
Me wants!
Hi Christine!
How does Aquarius compare with MAC Parrot?
Thanks
Not, not even close. Haight would be closer, but it’s not the same.
Oh, my… Dashiki and Haight look beautitul! 😀
Ooh these are so pretty! 🙂 Haight looks a lot like Flipside, is it actually similar in real life?
I think it’s less teal, actually! Kind of similar, but not quite 100% the same.
o.m.g I am LOVING these..ALL of them!
These are so beautiful. The blues look like the real gems.
How 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!
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.
Thanks 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!
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.
Thanks for the swatches. Do you know if the international Sephora are going to have these products too? Thanks a lot.
I heard UK will get ’em early June. That’s all I know!
Thanks a lot. If UK gets them, at least I’ll be able to make an order from the UK. Thanks!
These 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! 🙂
Psychedelic Sister is gorgeous!
I 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.)
I’m in love with Haight and P-Sister. Can’t wait to get my hands on them!
Those blues are gorgeous!
Oh 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.
Their packaging looks more like Tony Moly’s eye shadow singles too…
Is Haight or Daishiki a dupe for MAC parrot?
Nope, neither has the duochrome-ish-ness of Parrot.
These are all so gorgeous! Hopefully they’ll all inhabit a palette in the near future!
I 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!
those are insanity!
I love them all, but the blues definitely caught my eye first.
I LOVE Aquarius, Haight, Dashiki! And Woodstock!
Great new selection of colors from UD! The pigment is amazing. Looking forward to trying these.
how does Psychodelic Sister compare to Mac’s Fashion Groupie? i missed it and have been searching for a dupe ever since…
Redder!
LOVE Urban Decay shadows. I wish those colors came in a palette.
These are so gorgeous. They remind me of my favorite MAC collection, C-Shock. 🙂
I love Aquarius and Free Love. Woodstock and Psychadelic Sister are also pretty. Haight and Dashiki look nearly identical.
i think haight = parrot
I think it’s pretty different, since Parrot has an almost duochrome finish to it.
I’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.
Oh, Woodstock, Freelove, and Aquarius, come to Mama!!!!
oh wow these are absolutely gorgeous! Woodstock and Free Love are major lemmings!
i 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 🙂
i see a mac parrot dupe
Too blue, not enough flash of green/teal.
Free love & Aquarius are lovely. =)
These would look lovely in a palette!
Ok I NEED Psychedelic Sister :O And maybe Woodstock…
These are GORGEOUS!!!!!!
how similar is psychedelic sister to UD’s deluxe shadow, ransom? Thanks.
Brighter/more purple!
These are awesome, I want 5 out of the 6 LOL!
i’m such a neutrals girl but i need Psychadelic Sister! and maybe free love 🙂
Ha, I so love the names.
Anyone feel that the names have a 70’s vibe to it or is it just me? D;
I love them all!
Are these limited edition, or permanent, just exclusive to sephora? I need to figure out how to budget for these!
Sooooo very pretty!
Sephora doesn’t say limited edition, but a reader commented that they’re limited.
I 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.
wow those colors look amazing
aquarius looks amazing!
I saw those last week: they’re all gorgeous.
I 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.
Woodstock, Free Love and Aquarius are so pretty! I´ll try to buy them because they look really worth eyeshadows 🙂
Wow, 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.
The 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!!!
these are so much better and prettier than 90% of all MAC eyeshadows
can you depot these & fit them into a mac palette?
I believe so, Sheri!
The 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!
Wow! Pschycadelic Sister, Aquarius and Haight are gorgeous! I’ve never tried Urban Decay eyeshadow before, but maybe I should.
I 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?
more colors?! they’re so pretty! yikes! i already have a ton of their eyeshadows! i really like free love and aquarius.
Would these already be in the Sephora stores?
How similar is UD Woodstock to MAC Lala eyeshadow???
Not sure, to be honest!
Woodstock is a pinker – Lala is a tiny bit more fuchsia-purple.
How would you compare UD’s deluxe Sting shadow to Woodstock? A bit more pink, or still pretty similar?
I don’t have Sting 🙁
Gorgeous. I wonder how similar Aquarius is to Green Goddess
I don’t have that one!
I have green goddess and Aquarius and they are really similar…just think if green goddess and shattered had a baby
Thank you! That is very helpful!
Want Free Love but it’s out of stock online and there’s no Sephora here. 🙁
Damn, 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.
Haha that’s what I was thinking! I loooove my purples, teals/greens, blues and pinks!
OOoo I’m liking “Free To Love”! Cute name too 😉
You 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!
LOL! We got what we asked for, at least 😛
I might have to get Haight just for the name.
Loving Haight and Dashiki. I’m in a blue phase right now.
Oh momma I want them all =X
Yay 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.
I 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.
How does “Free Love” compare with MAC “paradisco”?? are they similar?
Much, much lighter and peachier. It’s more like Melon pigment.
these are bomb, I want all of em!
I 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!
Aww, yay!!
is there a mac dupe for Aquarius?
Maybe something like Surreal or Tilt.
Is 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
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!
I have UD’s freakshow and flash, is it worth getting psy sister? how do they compare?
I think you could skip, though they’re not the same. I’d say Psychedelic Sister is lighter and more red-based.
How does Dashiki compare to Painkiller? is it worth getting if I already have painkiller? I think it’s so pretty!
Dashiki is a lot darker, bluer.
hey 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?
Neither MAC nor Urban Decay test on animals.
oh 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 🙂
Hi 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.
