Urban Decay Archives | My Beauty Addictions

Urban Decay sent out an email today advertising that their new Born to Run palette will be available for purchase from 6/12.

It’s being advertised as a palette especially thought for travel, with all the colours and finishes necessary to pull off any type of look while “on the run”, and features “21 Of-the-moment shades”. I can’t find the exact information on how many of the shadows are matte, but it looks like a few are matte while most of them are metallic/shimmer/shift shadows. It’s going to cost $49.

I personally started out in my makeup journey being a huge fan of Urban Decay, and I used to buy all their palettes back in the day, however I think I will pass on this one for several reasons: First, I don’t wear such strong oranges very often, and I already own palettes that contain orange-y shades (Tarte Toasted & Flirt, ABH Subculture, for example). Second, I don’t really like hot pink eyeshadow on me, and I already have some from previous Urban Decay palettes (Vice 1, Vice 2, and Vice 3 all contain pink shadows). Third, the rest of the shades in the palette are colours I pretty much already have from other palettes, both UD and from other brands.

However, the palette itself is beautiful, and if I didn’t already own Vice 1, 2 and 3, I might have decided to purchase this one.
