Hiiii! I thought I would review some makeup palettes as they are backing up as well! I know, I know, everything is backing up!! I'm working on it!! :)
I thought I would start with the Urban Decay Electic Palette! Now Canada took FOREVER to get these in so I went down to the states and got it because I could not wait any longer. It is now in Canadian stores. So I've had it for a while now but I wanted to do a couple looks and really use the products before I wrote a review. Here is this gorgeous palette with a flash!
And here it is without the flash
Now the biggest question I had in my mind before I got this palette was, "How big is this palette really and is it worth the $58 CAD?" Well the answer is yes! The size is great! You get 10 huge pots of brilliantly bright shadows for 58$....that's really only $6 a shadow!! You cannot even buy cheap drugstore makeup for $6 a colour, they are more along the lines of 8$ and 9$. And when you really get down to the nitty gritty, they aren't really even shadows, they are actually pressed pigments so because of the colour payoff, you actually use much less and this will last a heck of a longer time! You also get an awesome double sided brush, a plastic palette case (instead of some of the cardboard ones) and a huge mirror!
Here is the size compared to my ipad:
If you are familiar with Urban Decay shadows you will know that they are very smooth and buttery. The colour payoff for the Electric palette is really great! They are pressed pigments after all and are truly -dare I say- "electric"! Here are some of the swatches I did WITHOUT A PRIMER!!
This is with flash in order from top to bottom: Thrash, Freak, Urban, Jilted and Chaos
Also with flash and from top to bottom: Chaos, Fringe, Savage, Slowburn, Gonzo and Revolt
Here are all the colours with flash:
Here they are without flash from top to bottom: Chaos, Fringe, Savage, Slowburn, Gonzo and Revolt
And without flash from top to bottom: Thrash, Freak, Urban and Jilted
And here are some of the looks that I have done so far with the palette either solely or partially with the palette. All of these looks have been done without a primer just to show you the real colour payoff this palette really has!

This is done with MAC Pressed pigment in Light Touch (lid) and the rest is the Electric Palette.
Jilted (crease) Thrash (inner corners) and Urban (under eye). I am using the Mary Kay Lash Love Mascara in I ❤️ Green.
This look is using solely the Electric palette: Thrash , Fringe and Freak
The highlighter is MAC Soft and Gentle
This look is also just the Electric palette using Savage and Slowburn
This look is mostly the Urban Decay Ammo pallette ( review coming soon ) but I mixed a bit of Jilted and Urban for the undereye look.
Well I must say that this palette is worth the price! And probably the best bright palette there is out there right now. If you were thinking about it, I hope I have convinced you to take the plunge! I really love it!! Stay tuned for more makeup reviews! Xx
