Not sure where to post this but I received an e-mail from Sephora today promoting The Mother Lode Shadow Set. It is said to include all Urban Decay’s shades in full-size, individual pop-out compacts and a four-pan Build Your Own Palette. It is online only retailing for $595 and is said to be worth $1234. I haven't seen it on Urban Decay's site so I wonder if its exclusive to Sephora.

I know! I am so tempted because I have yet to dig into Urban Decay! I do want the Vice 2 palette. I supposed I should quit stalling and buy it before it sells out.

I love their shadows....one of my faves to work with (with exception to some of the glitter ones...which a little patience or some Lit glitter base can take care of lol). Shadows are my passion and I'm a sucker for a great, blending shadow. I get that with the majority of UD's shadows. They are so pigmented and butter soft. So yeah...if you have the money I would definitely go for it. I'm tempted myself lol

This palette would definitely require some saving if I wanted it badly enough. $595 is a steal for that many eyeshadows but I want things from other holiday collections.

Does UD have something similar to MAC as far as custom palettes? If so, what eyeshadows would you recommend for a UD newbie?

Not really. They have the empty palette that holds 4 or 6 shadows but it's not a discounted rate and you can't buy pans versus singles. Something I wish they would eventually consider (and a less bulky palette option). Now the color choices for a newbie...that's a hard one. Really depends on what types of colors you like. I would highly recommend going with one of the sets like the Vice 2 to get a good range of colors so you could get. The original Vice palette was a little more vibrant in my opinion but I think this one is more wearable for a newbie. The Nude palettes are good "safe" palettes for those that prefer to have versatility in their looks without a lot of bright pops of color. Despite being neutral palettes you can get a lot of looks out of them that can take you from day to night and throughout a whole trip with ease. But I would really recommend the Vice 2 for you if you want to go easy on the money and not go all in on that huge set. If you had a friend that wanted to go in on that huge set that would have been perfect. Then you guys could split the cost and split the shadows...less guilt and everyone is happy lol

It would be awesome if UD had a 15-pan eyeshadow palette like MAC. I hear such good things about their shadows. I have a thing for neutrals so I was considering one of the Naked palettes awhile ago but you know how MAC releases a collection almost every two weeks lol. Which one do you think is more suitable for NC skin tones? I remember when I was researching them, one was more cool and the other was more warm. I think based on reviews the Naked 2 was better for travel because they changed from velvet to plastic packaging. I think I will just get the Vice 2 palette.

I use Naked 2 more than 1 but it's not because it travels better...there are just a few more "go-to"'colors that I use more often in it. The Velvet on the original really doesn't affect the travel for me...I carry them both everywhere (personal travel and kit use) along with Naked Basics and eventually plan on depotting them both into a single Z-palette because they both play well together. I think you get a bit more range with the Vice 2 palette because you get some pops of color along with some neutrals...warm and cool tones...varying textures. It's just a better feel for the line and a little more to play with than just a pure neutrals palette. Don't get me wrong...I definitely recommend everyone having at least one of the Naked palettes in their collection. It's a great investment. But they aren't LE. The Vice 2 will eventually disappear. People that slept on the original Vice palette regretted it and some paid a ton on EBay for it. The positive about most UD LE releases is that they don't disappear as quickly as MAC (a few do...like the eyeliner Vault...that went super fast) but some of their shadow palettes become true collectors items.

Ahh...I see. Thanks so much! I will get the Vice 2 first and then Naked 1 or 2 later. I have a vacation coming up in December so I have a little time to make a decision.

They're also selling their Eyeliner Vault. http://www.musingsofamuse.com/2013/10/urban-decay-247-glide-eye-pencil-vault-holiday-2013.html http://www.musingsofamuse.com/2013/10/urban-decay-mother-lode-shadow-set-holiday-2013.html The eyeliner vault is a Sephora exclusive, but I don't know if Mother Lode is.

That's the same Vault that they sold when UD released the new eye liners. Originally they only released 50 vaults and they sold out quick. Then they allowed Sephora to sell a few but that was brief too. It's a really great deal considering the full retail value being close to $800 and you're getting every pencil in their collection. I got it because I love their pencils and it was a better deal than event pro discount would have been if I just picked the ones I wanted and got my 40%. That shadow though...ya'll keep tempting me!

Speaking of LE palettes, what do you think of Alice in Wonderland? I've been watching on eBay and I'm wondering if they're fake or what. And why do people sell the shadows, but not the pencils and primer that came with it. Sell the complete set, fool!

I actually don't have that one but wish that I did. I'm a funny person...I've sold a few items on EBay but I've never bought makeup on there...because I'm afraid of the fakes lol. The only thing I can think of is that they may have used the pencils (I wouldn't sell used pencils unless the person said they still wanted it)...but otherwise....no clue. Well...some people use the primers too...so that's probably it. They don't want to buy a tube of primer potion (I actually hate the doe foot bottles that tend to be with sets so I'd never keep those). Now that I think about it, the only makeup item I've ever sold on eBay was my bu original Vice palette. I've only listed things in my clearance bin on here. And I take my time before I add items to that lol.

I recently purchased the Urban Decay Vice 2 palette, and it is amazing. I purchased it earlier this month when Urban Decay hade the 20% discount. Well worth the money.
