Hi! It's been a while and we need to talk about this palette. Don't worry, my review of the Urban Decay Naked Cherry Collection is next but since this released first, I wanted to tell you about it first. It's been a while since I've been excited about makeup, but the Elements palette and Naked Cherry Collection really drew me in so let's talk about Elements!
Urban Decay Elements Palette Review

The Elements palette is a super colorful palette that has 19 new shades and we are going to talk about all of them. Fair warning, this palette is severely lacking in mattes, so if that's what you're after you will want to pass on it. This palette is mostly glitters, shimmers, and metallics and is a GREAT companion palette. I'm not mad at it. Let's talk about the packaging first.

That packaging is gorgeous. I love the design, I love that it's round, I even love the layout of the shadows, surprisingly. It's very sturdy, the mirror is huge, and it snaps closed.

Urban Decay Elements Palette Review and Swatches

Urban Decay Elements Palette

As you can tell from the description and the swatches, these shades are super sparkly. The majority are VERY pigmented, with the exception of Luna which is supposed to be a topper. These shades are very soft, very creamy, and do have a lot of fall out so doing your eyeshadow first is recommended with these.

The mattes apply and blend very well, but as you can tell there are only a couple. You'll need a palette to use with this if you want more mattes. The shimmers/metallics are super shiny, super glittery, and very pigmented. I prefer to apply them with my fingers, but you can use a brush. Using a brush will require you to build them up more. They work best on top of a base or with a glitter glue.

If you love color, you'll probably love this palette. The colors are gorgeous and the formula is really good! Let me know what your favorite shades are in the palette!
It's available now on Urban Decay's website, as well as Ulta and Sephora.
