I’ve never assigned reading here on the Raging Rouge Beauty Blog, and I’m not going to start now. This must-have book requires no reading glasses or lamp, only a sense of style and some creativity!
Last year, Urban Decay knocked the socks off of eyeshadow aficionados everywhere with the legendary “Book of Shadows, Volume I” eye palette. Part of their holiday 2008 collection, it almost literally flew off of shelves in boutiques everywhere… slow economy and all.
This year, Urban Decay offers Book of Shadows Vol. II, and if you’re a fan of the original, you should definitely move on this fast. Vibrant, glittery shades are mixed with must-have metallics and neutrals. It’s the most popular eye palette of the season!
This year’s design is smart and useful. The top lid opens to reveal a huge mirror and a manual to help you replicate eye makeup ideas by the pros!
NEW Exclusive eyeshadow shades included in the palette are: AC/DC (deep eggplant shimmer), Nylon (champagne sparkler), Mushroom (taupey-gunmetal), Sphynx (pink sparkle/shimmer), Jinx (bright blue shimmer), Homegrown (bright green shimmer), Misdemeanor (deep teal sparkle), and Perversion (matte black).
Existing/best-selling shades in the palette are: Sellout, Gunmetal, Ecstasy, Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Twice Baked, Half Baked, Flipside and YDK.
Two 24/7 Eye Pencils (Zero and Bourbon) are included, and–of course– the can’t-live-without Eyeshadow Primer Potion!
Retail price is $48.
