Urban Decay Haul- My Pre-Sale experience

The Urban Decay Master Class that was held September 3rd at Valley Fair Mall. It was not so much of a class as it was a pre-sale event (which was obvious prior to buying into the class) and they featured all the products that would be available for the holidays with the exception of the HD foundation that they will be coming out with and the Naked Palette II.

From the pre-sale I had picked up the Book of Shadows vol IV and the two 24/7 liner travel sets which were Naked and Electric.

The Book of Shadows vol IV is not getting much love from the mass majority but I think it is a nice enough palette. It doesn't have very many "wow" colors but it does include very rich velvety shadows. This was a box of gimmicks and I am not complaining. This is a nod to the digital age with a funky butterfly design on the front and card with the QR codes to check out how to achieve the looks. I have not yet used this feature but I did play with the portable speaker that it came with a little bit, it is a decent portable speaker but nothing out of the ordinary. Love the color though! I have included pictures of the box open and swatches of the colors..




Overall I am happy with the book of shadows, it is full of colors that work well together and I can achieve simple and dramatic looks easily!

I also bought the Electric liner set which included Perversion, Ransom, Woodstock, Radium and Junkie. I have to admit that I mostly bought this kit for Perversion. I love black liners and I did not buy the anniversary liner set which included this precious pitch black gem! I do like the other colors that it comes with, very vibrant and I am excited to try out Woodstock in a look.



Finally, I decided on the Naked pencil palette. I have been enjoying brown liners for toned down looks. I am very happy with this set of liners. They browns are all so very different going from brownish black to a taupe color.


I made a video featuring this haul and I also showed the gifts with purchases (Makeup Meltdown & Rollergirl Nail Polish set) it came with for the pre-sale. I should also mention that during the "master class" I went home with an Urban Decay Quinceanera bag, in it was a full size Primer Potion in Greed, a sample size Lip Junkie in Wallflower, a pair of falsies and I think another sample of something... I cannot remember right now. I think I would do it again if the opportunity arose but I was a bit disappointed that I got my stuff after these items hit shelves.

Did you pick up anything from the new Urban Decay collections?
