So here it is.. the Urban Decay Electric Palette – the cause of much blogger angst last month. And what to say? It’s wow. The actual palette casing is one of the most lovely I think I’ve ever seen and really reflects what’s inside. Electric launches on 1st April for £38.
Lifting the lid, you’re met with a riot of colours – I honestly don’t know how to wear half of them but that’s something I’ll figure out later! And, there’s always the liner option.. when in doubt, use brights as powder liners applied with a flat edged brush.
The Urban Decay Electric Palette even has a purple headed brush.
Going straight into swatches from left to right: Revolt ( kind of beige gold), Gonzo, Slowburn, Savage and Fringe. Revolt and Fringe are the ones with most shimmer – the others are not quite matte, in that there is a little sparkle but they’re not metallics.
I’m totally going to wear the blue (as a liner.. safety first!). From left to right: Chaos, Jilted, Urban, Freak and Thrash. Jilted, Freak and Thrash seen to have the most shimmer going on; Jilted changes colour with the light, sometimes looking pink and sometimes looking purple – and then sometimes looking a bit of both.
Within the Urban Decay Electric Palette are shades that on the surface seem impossible, but I’ve swatched at intensity – it’s not hard to go very lightly with them, but there’s no doubt that you’d have to embrace the brights to get any fun at all from this palette. Naked it is not!

Definitely getting this!
These are not colours I’d ever make use of, so why do I still want it?! HELP!

These colours are so pigmented & bright! If I was brave enough to wear colourful eyeshadow I would snap this up

These colors are beautiful! they seem to be really nice quality, but I am just a bit too timid to even think about purchasing. Maybe someday I will wear a colored eyeshadow that isn’t purple.

I cannot wait for the launch of this palette. I have so many looks in mind already that I can produce with this palette by itself, old school punk looks being the majority of them; then into edgy street princess and psychobilly. I can see this palette being used a lot by myself.
I think this is one that was specifically designed for more intense looks. I like this fact, as I have to carry around a lot of singles and smaller palettes as there isn’t really a vivid brights palette out on the market with this range. I see it being popular for that fact alone. It is unique!
wow! those colours are amazing! Lusting after,….must have! great review… 🙂 think I’m going to have to score one of these when they come out : ) XO

Saw the case and had to check this product out! I’m a fan of almost every product that comes from Urban Decay.
Just curious, does this palette come with the warning on the back like the US palettes that some of the shades aren’t safe in the immediate eye area? Apparently it says on the back. Thanks.
It does.. it specifies Jilted and Urban. Thanks for flagging that up – I’d never have noticed! x
Absolutely not interested in this one. Can’t imagine this being flattering on anyone either. Unless you really blended and softened it out and even then, why not buy a palette that comes in the color already blended? The word ‘clown’ comes to mind. If you are in the circus, or on stage, or going to a costume party, this palette is for you.
Looks so lovely 🙂 but I probably would never wear it haha

I heard some of the eyeshadows come with a warning, which for an eye palette is slightly concerning, The colours are lovely but so how can I put it scattered?? I don’t know if I am making sense;)) I recently bought a Neve cosmetics palette vegan and paraben free and I am so happy with it! http://youtu.be/uLKv5b1D7SU xx
Wow some of these colours look amazing! Don’t think I fancy paying £38 for a palette I’ll hardly ever use though xx
