Overall Thoughts
If you're looking for an alternate to UD Electric Palette I think this is a good palette to have in your collection. I originally planned to buy the UD Electric Palette, but that whole eye warning issue didn't set well with me. Maybe I'm just extra cautious, but I'm just as happy with this palette. ☺ I also got a 12 piece brush set that came along with it during a sale. This palette is very cost friendly.
The brush case smells like paint when you first receive it, but I washed it with dish detergent and a paper towel. I let it sit open overnight and the paint smell was gone.
Fallout is minimal and the shadows are long lasting.
I recommend using a primer with these shadows to get the full effect of the colors.
The shadows are in matte and shimmery finishes. For the shimmery shadows you don't have to use a whole lot for the colors to show. I actually used too much of the shimmery colors and I used NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk as a base...the result...I looked like I was going to Studio 54 or a member of the ice capades lol. I just had to redo the eye makeup and tone it down a bit, no worries lol
You can create all types of looks from retro, modern day, bold, and even soft etc. I'll try and post my softer look with this palette soon. This palette is very versatile.
Now on to the FOTD ☺

Aww, hope you and your bestie had fun Pilar!! This look you have created is great. I will be picking this up because I was also worried about the eye warning on the UD one. Thanks for the great post!
ReplyDeleteThank you Margo! My bestie and I had did have a fun visit! When you get the palette, I hope you enjoy it! I agree that eye warning on the UD Electric palette had me worried too, that's why I didn't buy it. Like I mentioned in my post, this palette is a great alternative!

DeleteYou wear colors well Pilar! That aqua blue looks gorgeous on you. Very nice pigmentation with the colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim! I was very pleased on pigmentation of the colors!
DeleteI love all the colors in that palette!! I was also tempted to buy the UD electric palette but held back because I didn't think I would use it a ton. This would definitely be a great alternative for me. And lovely look you did!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ashley! That's another point I agree with, I don't think I would have used the UD Electric palette a lot. I can see myself getting more use out of this palette. I love all the colors in this palette too!
Deletei lived through the 80s, so i'll pass on this one, but it's so cute and fun!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Elle! I was born in the mid 80s, but when I use this palette I go for a modern day look lol
DeleteCute pallet! And I like the look your created!
ReplyDeleteThank you Andrea!
DeletePretty look! I don't blame you for not purchasing that Urban Decay Electric Palette because of the eye warning. This does look like a great alternative!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marie! That eye warning didn't set well with me on the UD Electric Palette. I couldn't bring myself to purchase that. I'm very happy with this alternative!
DeleteThis is a great palette! I'm not really interested in the new UD palette either.BH Cosmetics does such a good job with these themed palettes. I love the look you created. It's very cute and retro!

Thank you Lauren! I love BH Cosmetics! I tried to incorporate a retro look with a modern twist to it, so I didn't go too heavy on the eyeshadow.
DeleteWow those really are colours from the 80's! Very bright and bold. I have to say that those colours look amazing on you, it really suits you. Unfortunately if I used them I would look like I was going to an 80's a Fancy Dress Party :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Denise! This palette is so much fun to use! Lol to your fancy dress comment! I really like how I can add a modern day twist to creating makeup looks. Like mentioned in my post I had to redo my eye makeup bc I went a little to heavy on the eyeshadow! lol
DeleteThe shades in this palette are gorgeous and I love the look that you created...it so soft and beautiful.
