Urban Decay Electric palette (?!)

[Audrey C]

I had NO intention of buying this but I did! The pink and orange colors can be used as blushes. The other colors can definitely be sheeted out. I have soo many neutral colors I need to branch out. Thought this would be a 'fun' palette for Spring and Summer. One of the MA's said you can also apply the pigment to the lips with gloss or balm; I haven't seen anyone use it this way though.

Store by store makes sense to me. Rather than planned deceit, I'm more inclined to believe it's poor communication/unconscious incompetence - they don't know when they're supposed to go out!

Either way, I told everyone hovering around UD display that they had Electric so I know they sold a few.

I've used Savage to enhance gloss - not only does it look fabulous (over a Tendertone), but the colour is so vibrant that even a small amount leaves a small stain on the lips.

Electric for the WIN!

I don't have the Electric palette.. nor will I ever buy it.

I do however have a whole set of pure pigments which are pressed as well as the loose pigments from various labs -- I sometimes use them as lipsticks (matte), over a lustre to set it and mattify it, or as a blush with more oomph for evening.

enjoy your products ladies!

I don't have any pigments, so being able to play this way is new for me. I have no interest in acquiring any more, but having a single bold (inexpensive really) palette is fun.

You can wear these on the lips?

HOw about I'm a vib and haven't gotten my discount?

 

[User38]

sure you can wear pigments on lips.. eyeshadow on lips too.

Talk to Sephora CS.. dunno.

My Sephora had these out today. Someone was even walking around with the palette during the event, enticing people to swatch it.

I used to hoard Mac pigments and rarely ever used them. Just not practical for me. Having them pressed is much better (and I don't have the ability or patience to do that myself). Now if Urban would be nice enough to come up with a more neutral version..

 

[DarylandCarole]

I have to get my hands on this ASAP!!!

I caved and ordered the Electric palette with my 15% off. I tried to talk myself out of it by telling myself I had enough brights, but I love bright colors! Now I have to restrict myself when it comes to Playland. I have tons of lipstick so I really shouldn't buy much anyhow.

I would buy that in a heartbeat!

This palette is amazing! Used it today. I did a look similar to one that I posted way back. I used the silver, the blue (chaos), the purple and the pink. I also used the pink on my cheeks and I absolutely love it. I'm one of those finicky people and I don't dig the idea of using a shadow as a blush, but I think that might be one of the shades that's not meant for the eyes anyway. It's so pigmented and I had to be really careful (and still ended up blending it out a lot). I was going to use the greens instead, but I decided the other colors looked better with what I had on. I can't wait to use the orange as a blush. This palette is the most exciting beauty purchase I've made in awhile.

I used the orange shade today as a blush. Beware, a little goes a long, long way. I was surprised at how nice it looked sheered out. Has anyone tried the eyeshadows that aren't meant for the eye area on the eye area? Curious to see if anyone had a reaction. That purple shade would make a great liner.

I tried. Some staining. Nothing a good eye makeup remover didn't get out.

I wore the purple shade as a liner yesterday. No staining and no reaction.

I wore the purple. No reaction.

Hmmm Do I need this or not. I don't have very many pigments loose or pressed, But the bright colors are a bit out of my playground.

If you want to try bright colors, it is a good price for what you get. But if you're not going to wear bright colors, don't get it just because it's pressed pigments. It's just like eye shadow. Personally I think pigments are just a way to have bright colors for the eyes that otherwise wouldn't be allowed by the FDA.

Are there different rules for pigments than eyeshadows?

I'm not sure about the FDA rules. I asked a MAC SA many years ago why there weren't red eyeshadows because I wanted one. She told me that some people are allergic to something in red dye/coloring. At that time there weren't loose pigments for sale. MAC had a red paint, the old ones in the paint tubes. I bought that and have used it on my eyes with no problems. Now there are red pigments, but they aren't marketed as eye shadow I notice. And they come with a paper disclaimer that says they're not for use in the eye area. They also say blues, greens, purples, etc aren't for use in the lip area. The same warning comes with the chroma graphic pencils. My guess is that's how they protect themselves from law suits and probably the FDA. I've never had a reaction with any color pigment, so I'm planning to use all of these on my eyes!

I decided return this. I think it's a great palette but I realized when going through my stash that I have both Vice palettes with enough bright colors for me.

I'm returning mine tomorrow, same reason as you I have both Vice Palettes plus plenty of bright colours from my Sleek Palettes!
