MakeupByTiffanyD actually did a tutorial on youtube on how to make colorful eyeliner wearable, if you watch it you would definitely be able to make a color like woodstock wearable! You should check it out 🙂

Stacey Avatar

I saw that one. Really a great eye look. She suggests lining your upper lid with black as usual then putting the colorful eyeliner above that. I tried it, perfect!
I learn so much from her, Goss and EmilyNoel.

Mariella Avatar

Somhrita, I’m like you – can’t quite pull of those bright pink shades around my eyes without looking sort of like an pink-eyed white rabbit! I watched a few videos to I could use Junkshow from the 15th Anniversary palette but it just didn’t work for me at all so I’m using it on my cheeks as a blush!

Ani_BEE Avatar

I always liked Stashes like these for colourfull shades that don’t use that often. On my list is 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Travel Size Set Electric.

I like the tin of Mariposa Palette looks promising but swatches are needed. I really need to get Skimp and Mushroom at one point though. ^_^

Erica C Avatar

Oh my! I can’t wait to see some swatches. This palette could be a must-have… and the price! *thumbs up*
Thanks for sharing, Christine 🙂

Maddy Avatar

Too many dupes in Mariposa palette… and just tin packaging 🙁 I have BOS 3, Naked, Anniversary, and UD pigments… the ones that “new” are similar to old shades… Might grab it just for mushroom, though. I’ve heard fabulous things about it. Last thing I need is another Gunmetal. I’ll get my third gunmetal in BOS 4!!

Loving Woodstock pencil, by the way. It’s one of those things I want horribly but would sit in my drawer, only to come out for theater makeup…

Mara Avatar

Ditto on the Mariposa palette. Though $38 is a great price point for someone just starting their UD collection, I personally can’t justify it since like you, I already have many of the colors from six previous UD palettes I own. As for the eyeliners, I’m happy with my Prestige Total Intensity which are good dupes for the 24/7’s and quite the steal at $4 each. Mushroom is a great color, btw. It’s one of my HG eye shadows, and IMO way superior to MAC’s satin taupe.

Tabitha Avatar

omg.. totally posted this on the wrong tab. Uh. ANYWAYS, the glide on eye pencil travel sets look really nice, I really like the colors in both.

Michelle Avatar

I don’t want to start thinking about Christmas since it is not even FALL yet, but darn-it UD! Hopefully Santa will procure one (or all) of these pencil sets for me!

K.B. Avatar

Oh, man, I HAVE to have the Naked travel set! I’m not impressed with the 24/7 liners I’ve tried, but I’m obsessed with brown liners.

Amanda Avatar

*Gasp* Stray Dog and Perversion in travel size? Yes, please! I’ll have to get both liner sets because I fell in love with these when they appeared in the anniversary eyeliner set.

Boone Avatar

I cannot live without my Stray Dog 24/7 liner, and my pencil from the 15th Anniversary set is starting to get nubby enough to give me heart palpitations every time I sharpen it. What’s a girl to do… buy 4 of the travel sets even though I’m fully stocked on Zero, Bourbon and Underground? Maybe if I win the lottery before this collection launches. GAHH! >:{

Stacey Avatar

Why would you get a mariposa set when you can get a UD BOS IV or the anniversary palette which offers more and have similar colors? If it came out next year, I can understand the urge to get this. UD is trying to be like MAC and over produce.

Liz Avatar

Believe it or not, some people value product over packaging. The color scheme is similar, but this is much cheaper, and you’re not paying for packaging and a silly irrelevant speaker. UD doesn’t nearly make enough to be considered “over producing”, they’re just becoming more popular and speaking to demand; not much has actually changed.

Jenn Avatar

I completely I agree with this….I think i am skipping out out BOS IV and getting this palette…cheaper, nice and similar colors and much smaller and compact, I may actually not have to de-pot! BOS are too bulky, and this one is just too much.

Mariella Avatar

Totally agree. All that gimmicky packaging is a pet peeve of mine because most of it is not durable, gets in the way of using the products and you’re paying a lot for it. I’d much rather this simple tin of shadows than the BOSIII, which I have, or the new one UD has come out with.

stacey Avatar

Just love it when I start a conversation. LOL. I got BOS IV at Sephora SF the other day with a free T-shirt…..wasnt going to get it…but the colors were nicer when I tested it than how it looked on these blogs. Yes, it cost more and dont need that gadget, but the grey colors on these palettes look too much alike and already have 5 of these colors on previous palettes

Mariposa Avatar

Sandy…you can still get BOS 3 (last years holiday palette) on UD.com. I think the earlier ones were harder to get, if you love it buy it!!

Jill Avatar

Aww man the Marisposa looks beautiful! I’ll have to await swatches and maybe a size comparison. It seems tiny in the pic. But I love Skimp as a highlighter so I’m glad there’s an option to opt out of BOS4.

Heather Avatar

OOh, can’t wait for the palette and the shadow pencil set! Just signed up on Sephora to be notified when it’s in stock..thanks for the heads up!

Mariella Avatar

I am willing to do just about anything to get UD’s Mushroom and I am loving the look of Wreckage and Spotlight. I have several of the other shadows but, like I said, to get Mushroom, I’m willing to get this palette and the fact that it has several other new shades I’d like to try plus a few that I already have but really like so I am SO going to get this one!

Curious to know, Christine, about Juju (in the 24/7 shadow pencils) – clearly it’s a new shade but do you know yet which one it is? Can you describe it or are you waiting too?

Mariella Avatar

I think of Rehab as a “frosted taupe” so I may pass on this set of 24/7 shadow pencils – I think I’ve got all that I need of those lovelies. But the palette – hyperventilating!

Debi Avatar

Can I adore it? I am all over this collection! It won’t hit the shops soon enough for me! Love the pencils and those shadows are beautiful!!

Veronica Avatar

It looks like a great fall palette. I might actually go for it. The only thing I might pass on is the chunky pencils. For some reason, I’ve never gotten the hang of those. 😐

Sophia Avatar

Wooohoo for mushroom and money!! Mushroom I always wanted, and money is total love from my UD NYC palette,so it’s nice to have a backup.I’m also curious about wreckage and infamous..
(PS: love your blog, I read it for about a year now and I must say I’m addicted! 🙂 )

Shauna Avatar

Urg, why oh why does perversion (which I have wanted since I heard about) have to come in the pack with colors I already have. . . Sad news.

Jesica Avatar

Im loving the liners but the eyeshadows not so much. I am starting to feel a redundancy with urban decay as far as eyeshadows. I think I will have to wait until the shadows are swatched. On the other hand, you can’t have too many pencils especially when they are small enough to grab and go.

Katie Avatar

I’m seriously want the naked eyeliner set, but I feel like if I don’t get perversion I may kick myself. I’ll be a broke college student and the price will be even more up here in canada so I’ll try to be good…but I don’t know if I can haha.

Maybe I’ll just ask for money for my birthday and christmas so that way I can end up back where I started money wise after the holidays and it will be like the same thing as if I’d gotten them for gifts. That works right? lol

nitnot Avatar

Oh god! I wish 24/7 liners stay on my lids, because the colors are gorgeous ;__; I’ll probably get the shadow pencils instead – at the price point, it’s a steal!

Ericka Avatar

I am so exxcited about the 24/7 shadow set. I may get 2 of those. I am not sure if I want another 24/7 liner set. This one is similar to the 2009 24/7 liner set. Do you know if they are coming out with any lip gift sets? I would love for them to make a lipstick set.

Erica C Avatar

When it says “Sephora Exclusive”, does that usually mean they have the product on their website as well as in the stores, or is it in-store only?

feather Avatar

will totally get the eye pencel set.. just got the new book of shadows, will the little speaker and the shadow tutorials…love this..It’s a must have for all skin types and the shadows are great, highly pigmented and nnnoooo fall out
