Re: Book of Shadows Volume 2 is now available!
I think most of the shadows tend to be very glittery, but some are very nice.(sorry I'm no help, lol) This new palette has 8 new colors in it so I have no idea what they'll be like. I saw swatches on the gloss menagerie blog & the palette looks really pretty. (do a google search for her blog, she has asked not to post the pics elsewhere)

With the exception of the glittery shades they are amazingly smooth and pigmented. More so than MAC imo. Urban Decay's website lists which shades have glitter so I would avoid those. The Deluxe eyeshadows are amazing as well. They are shimmery but not glittery.

It looks pretty! FYI - there is a thread on this in the UD forum: http://www.specktra.net/forum/f266/b...ilable-147606/

I've used three, Illegal (matte), Chopper (super glittery) and Foxy (matte).
Chopper was super glittery but there was no fallout at all and it was very easy to apply and blend, pigmentation was great too
.
Illegal was smoother than Chopper simply because I assume there was no glitter in it. Once again, pigmentation was great. It showed up as a brown rosy colour on my skin and I'm a WOC so yay!
I have tested a lot more of their eyeshadows since and I love all of them, if I could find the BoS original in the UK, I'd buy it in a second.

Re: Book of Shadows Volume 2 is now available!
I picked my BoS Vol. II up from debenhams a few days ago. The new/limited colours all rock. I was pleased that it also contains some old favourites (I can never have enough flipside!). The substitution of eyeliners for brushes makes this palette a superb bargain. I was also interested in the new shape applicator that came in the PP sample. The sample bottle is in the same shape as the larger bottles and by my reckoning the longer, shaped applicator should be able to reach just about all the potion! Has anybody bought a full size PP lately??? Have they really solved the packaging issues that simply??? I wait with baited breath.....

Re: Book of Shadows Volume 2 is now available!
Any idea what's in that top layer beneath the mirror in the picture? I loved the first BoS palette and am delighted to see another, but am a little annoyed that they stuck with the drawer packaging design. The whole thing is way clunkier than it needs to be. Also happy about the substitution of two pencils (even if they are in shades I already have) for the two brushes they had last time as IMO they were pretty useless.
And I definitely agree with those who have said that UD eye shadow quality is top notch. Sure there are a few glitter bombs that are aggravating, but same can be said for MAC (though I think Midnight Cowboy produces more glitter fallout than any other eye shadow I've ever used period). Their frosts and shimmers have excellent pigmentation and are super smooth and silky. Even a few of their glittery shades like Chopper (as someone previously mentioned) and YDK are wonderful to work with. I own at least 20 (not including my BoS palette) and am always excited when they release new shades. I particularly like their regular shadow line as opposed to the deluxes as I think the quality is the same as their deluxe shadows, but those can be depotted and stuck into my MAC palettes.

Nothing too exciting lol. Underneath the flaps is a small booklet with some pictures models wearing UD and the usual jargon.
A nice thought but a little superfluous when you consider all the extra packaging to hold it. The peacock feather print is pretty though!

I love the 1st BOS and since I have none of these colors I will definitely pick up this one too. So glad they put the 24/7 pencils in instead of more brushes. I hope Sephora gets this soon....

definitely. I use my UD and MAC shadows together so much I don't even bother to keep my depotted UD singles separate from my MAC. They're dispersed throughout my palette collection as I organize mine by color. They're very similar in formula and quality. UD's non-glitter shadows remind me a lot of MAC's better frost shadows or even their VPs, and their glittery ones are close to MAC's Lustres (though truth be told, a lot of UD's glitters are easier to work with). Haven't tried their matte shadows but I assume they're also comparable to MAC's.
