Urban Decay 24/7 Shadow Pencil Stash

First of all, I am a total junkie when it comes to makeup sets. I've been lusting after this Urban Decay set for awhile now and when the website bumped the price down to $12 (originally $34), I figured I had to order it.





From Left to Right: Clash, Delinquent, Sin, Juju, Rehab

First off, the color selection is... interesting. I like the combination of colors and neutrals, but I think better colors could have been chosen. For example, the color Clash is absolutely breathtaking and as vibrant as they come, but it's not very wearable for most of us. A color like that is one that I would prefer as an eyeliner, not an all-over shadow.


Though I'm not typically a fan of jumbo pencils, I found these to be pleasant. Unlike the NYX Jumbo Pencils (which I enjoy, but I find can be a bit tough), these pencils are buttery smooth. Like their 24/7 Eyeliner counterparts, they're highly-pigmented and swatch like a dream.

As you can see, none of the neutrals are the same, but I would have preferred a color instead of one of the neutrals, but that's just me. Perhaps a set of 6 (3 neutrals, 3 colors) would have been better. Aside from my color nitpicking, all of these shadows are GORGEOUS. They're the creamiest shadow pencils I've ever tried and for $12, they're absolutely worth it! 

Have any of you tried out these pencils? If so, are you planning on it? What's your favorite shade from the set? (My personal favorite is Delinquent!)

    i like those pencils as a eyeshadow base but I use the nyx one, because they're not so pricey.
    but the blue one has such a nice and unique colour! love it :)
