My Thoughts:
This palette is perfect for learning and perfecting smoky eyes. Each of the eye shadows has a number imprinted into the shadows to help you know the order of application. It also comes with step-by-step instructions to help you through the process. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get it right away. Remember: practice makes perfect and always use a light-hand when applying shadows. It’s easier to add more than remove. The shadows are really pigmented, especially the black. You can’t buy the eye shadows separately and are long lasting.

Urban Decay Get Baked Eyeshadow Palette ($28) Blaze it up with a hit of our most gorgeous bronzy shades, rolled up into a super slim palette. Our universally flattering collection delivers three neutral favorites from our best-selling “Baked” collection (Baked, Half Baked, and Twice Baked), an electric shade of teal (Flipside), and a travel-sized 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Bourbon.
It’s the first time we’ve offered our long-lasting 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils or Sin Eyeshadow Primer Potion as part of a palette! Sin is a shimmery, champagne version of our classic Primer – try it alone or under a shadow. All Urban Decay Eyeshadows contain very few binders for effortless blending and true color.
The super-slim palette features a brown Pucci-inspired exterior and “Get Baked” in electric blue foil. Blue and white flora create a contrasting backdrop to the neutral Eyeshadows inside. The case is complete with a handy mirror and a magnetic closure.
My Thoughts:
I recently picked this up at South Coast Plaza’s Macy’s, and I LOVE it. It’s perfect for summer! Not only that, but this palette is such a steal for me. I love Urban’s 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Bourbon and also Baked, Half Baked, and Twice Baked eye shadows. So, getting this palette was a no brainer for me. You can read my review of 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil to see my opinion. The eye shadows are really great. They are long lasting, pigmented, and blendable. Definitely one of the best eye shadows out there. Sin Eyeshadow Primer Potion works just as great as the original with a bit of shimmer. I just can’t get over how much I love this palette!
