Urban Decay Book of Shadows IV (4) redux

Here we go, what we have all been waiting for!!  The Urban Decay Book of shadows IV redux!  Last year UD came out with the book of shadows 3 redux.  Basically they change a few colors but other wise they are the same. I don't have the original book of shadows 4 but if you google image it you can compare them!

Here is the top!

 This is the inside flap.
 It has a great mirror with butterflies.
 The inside where the products are.
 The back cover.
 There are 16 eyeshadows in this palette.




Switches, left to right, Kiddie Pool, Gunmetal, Grifter and Psychedelic Sister
 Baked, Hijack, Lost, Creep  These are the most pigmented 4 colors out of the palette.
 Midnight Cowgirl, Sin, Stray Dog, Missionary  Midnight Cowgirl is the typical "Midnight Cowboy" eyeshadows not very creamy with glitter chunks, but this one was surprisingly creamy.
 Sidecar, Strip, Virgin and Polyester Bride.  Polyester Bride looks like it would be like the "Cowboy Shadows", but it's not.
 It comes with a full size 24/7 liquid eyeliner in Perversion
 It has a brush tip applicator.
 It's very liquidy and takes a while to dry, yet it's pigmented.
 The palette includes a mini Supercurl curling mascara.
 It has rubber bristles with a curve.
 I know this is a little blurry, but the bristles are very pointy.
 It has a speaker to play your music.
Overall, this is a great palette for $32.00.  I would highly recommend it because it has many neutrals yet colorful shades, which are all wearable.

This is exclusive at Ulta for a limited time.

XOXO,
