Urban Decay Eyeshadow Cream

...to have been given 2 Urban Decay Eyeshadow creams for my depressing January birthday, mainly because I think my sister is fed up of me scrounging all of her make-up before a night out!!

Roughly about £9 per tube which is 6.7ml but sales are always a great time to buy products like this.

~ What do Urban Decay Promise?~

The colours stay put and fresh all day long and well in to the night without any creasing.

~ My Experience ~

The applicator means that the cream can be applied very easily and with accuracy.

I have the Foxy and Moonshine colours. The Moonshine is silver with very delicate silver sparkles as the manufacturer's describe but the Foxy I would say is more ... more

I was lucky enough to have been given 2 Urban Decay Eyeshadow creams for my depressing January birthday, mainly because I think my sister is fed up of me scrounging all of her make-up before a night out!!

~ Price ~

Roughly about £9 per tube which is 6.7ml but sales are always a great time to buy products like this.

~ Packaging ~

The outer packaging is quite cheap looking in my opinion. It's a clear plastic cuboid shape, the idea I suppose being that you can see the product without having to open the packaging. It has 'URBAN DECAY cream' up the side of it in purple writing with the name of the colour on the top.

The eyeshadow cream comes in a neat little plastic holder and the colour chosen can be seen through it. It's about 8cm in length including the handle section.

The handle is silver, regardless of the colour cream chosen. Not surprisingly it's a screw top and at the end of the handle there is a little sponge area to apply the cream, very much like a lot of lip gloss applicators.

~ Range of colours available ~

• Five-o (metallic baby blue)
• Knee-high (bronze)
• Pink flamingo (pink with microsparkle)
• White lightening (smooth, snow white)
• Foxy (peach)
• Midnight cowboy (shimmery beige)
• Purple haze (purple with a blue shift)
• Go Army! (cargo green with microsparkle)
• Moonshine (silver with silver sparkle)
• Shag (dusty rose)

~ What do Urban Decay Promise?~

The colours stay put and fresh all day long and well in to the night without any creasing.

~ My Experience ~

The applicator means that the cream can be applied very easily and with accuracy.

I have the Foxy and Moonshine colours. The Moonshine is silver with very delicate silver sparkles as the manufacturer's describe but the Foxy I would say is more of a delicate bronze than a peach and this too has a gentle 'sparkling' effect once applied, which they don't describe it as having.

The eyeshadow doesn't give a heavy look, more of a light colour when applied and they are correct in stating 'no creasing'. They both have a very delicate sparkle and sheen to them which I would say was more appropriate for a night out than day wear but then again I never wear any make-up during the day.

Having only ever used this at night, I would however have to disagree with their promise for it to stay on all day and in to the night as it does seem to fade during the night and needs re-applying to get the initial look back.

~ About Urban Decay ~

U.D produces a full range of make-up products along with some flavoured body balms and body brushes, some of which have some weird and wonderful names!

It's well worth a visit to their website for some 'different' gifts and goodies ideas.

~ How long does it last?~

Since I have only used the creams a few times, I can't give readers a definite time scale but I would 'guess-timate' between 3 - 4 months based on using them a couple of times a week.

~ Where to buy~

There are a host of websites selling urban decay products so it's well worth checking out a few for some good deals.

Otherwise, department stores like House of Fraser and Debenhams are worth a visit and they are beginning to get more of this line in stock.

I do really like this cream and the product fits nicely in to an evening bag but I would advise you to look around for bargains as I wouldn't be prepared to pay full price for it, I would say that it's worth more in the region of under £5, than nearer £10!
