Ok, I'm going to offer some anti-enabling low-buy reality.
You don't use the bold and brights you already have, but want to get this because the shades look so pretty together in the palette? That tends to result in yet another item sitting unused in a stash you're trying to limit.
I know it's new and it's gorgeous to look at, but why get it if you're not going to use it? How about trying to create some of the looks you like online with the colours you already have? That might be enough to kill the lemming, or to confirm that you don't really want the palette after all but just like the way it looks.
If after all that, you decide that you do want it, then you'll know that you're not just responding to 'new, shiny' hype but will actually use it.

Woke up to my palette at my door! Yes! It's gorgeous and I'm so glad I got it. My favorite shades are the yellow and green. I see Sephora now has the new liners. I'm going to get some things when the VIB sale starts now. You already know what the palette looks like, but whatever. :lol:
Joining Audrey in the anti-enabling chorus of: SKIP!
oke: Seriously, if you know you're not going to use it, and you know you don't use what brights you have now, save your money. :nods:

But if you do like brights and you're interested in brights, whether it's a little or a lot...get the palette. So now out of the trillions of UD palettes, I officially love 3 (this one, Naked 1 and Naked 3). I hope I dig the rest in the future. I get excited over palettes that are actually worth a damn.

Chaos was the only shadow I wanted in that Vice palette and that's why I had to ultimately skip it. So glad to have it now. It's amazing and I don't even love blue eyeshadow like that.

Here's another review I found and it's on darker skin. http://youtu.be/w-Qohzrkid8 Gotta say I found some of the yapping annoying, but I'm linking to show it on darker skin, but also there was a point raised that is new to me. Urban Decay doesn't send products to darker skinned women. Not to derail this thread, but it's a revelation to me. Maybe someone can find an outlier, but for every review I have ever searched for with their cosmetics, I've never seen a dark skinned reviewer who received a product as opposed to having to buy it with their own money. UD needs to change that. I'm experienced enough w/ makeup that I can see something on any skin tone and know if it's something I'll like, but a lot of people still need to see it on someone who looks like them. It's just smart business. I hope they realize that soon.

Chaos is the one shade that's majorly drawing me in! And that green! My GAWD! I wish some of these shades could be purchased separately, but if they were, they'd be almost $20 a piece with UD's pricing... so that's the biggest lure of this palette for me! Even if I only get use out of half the shades, it's still not a bad price for the whole palette!Ok, I'm going to offer some anti-enabling low-buy reality.

I do use my bolds and brights... just maybe not enough to justify a whole palette... But this one does have some shades I like that I don't already have. Obviously bright/bold eye looks aren't an everyday kind of thing for most people, so I would think this would be an "occasional looks" palette for most everyone who gets it. I still haven't purchased it. It's in my Sephora cart. Before the sale starts, I plan to go through my bright/bold shadows and see which ones get love and how many of these shades I think I'd actually use enough to justify. I DO do stage performance, so depending on the gigs I get or my show lineup, I could actually get some decent use out of this palette even if it's just for work. I promise not to buy it if I can't justify it after looking through my palettes!! Promise! Thanks for the help doll!
I'm sure I would use it... just debating if I would use it enough. I'm still not 100% sure, but considering. I appreciate my "low-buy sister" support!! Thanks hun!!Seriously, if you know you're not going to use it, and you know you don't use what brights you have now, save your money.

I'm having the same back-and-forth thoughts about this. I LOVE brights, but I already have a lot of them. So I think "I don't need these". But then I think "but this is a good value, and I have my 15% off Sephora code." The actual palette is so pretty, too. Decisions, decisions...
