Urban Decay Mariposa Palette

Hi all.


Welcome to 2012!  A new start for some of us, I included.  Looking forward to new endeavors. 


The beginning of the year has been easy, a few days off to relax from all of the holiday madness in retail.  So with a few free minutes, I decided to go to the mall, looking for nothing in particular, and found myself wandering around Sephora.  


Every single beauty blogger seems to love Urban Decay, so I walked straight up to the aisle dedicated to Urban Decay, and decided to try the Primer Potion and an eye palette. Everyone seems to love the Naked Palette, and although it was enticing, I think I have enough neutral shadows in my collection.  So... I went for the Mariposa Palette.  Exciting :)


It consists of 10 shadows and a travel sized shadow brush.  All of the shadows are shimmery, mostly neutral with a few pops of color.  




I tried to take pics from different angles to better show the shades.  I wont go through the description of each, because they are all already posted all over the internet.  I did find them all to be well pigmented and very smooth to apply. 


I am really looking forward to trying these out on my eyes.  There are endless possibilities!  Money looks very interesting, and I do love taupe, so I think mushroom will look really good used in a smokey eye.  I will post some looks as I go through this palette :)
