I'm in LOVE with this shade. It's a beautiful champagne gold with silver glitter. It's a multi-tasker, to. It looks beautiful on the lid, but I love it as a tear duct highlight as well. It goes on opaquely with a great metallic, foiled effect, even when dry and without primer. The glitter wasn't gritty, but without primer, there was a moderate amount of fallout (primer resolves this). Without a base, this wore excellently for more than 8 hours. With a base, it made it to the 15 hour mark looking flawless, with no fallout. I'm so glad this shadow didn't get discontinued, and would gladly repurchase.

Haight is a shimmery blue-teal with a silver sheen. The color goes on opaquely with or without primer. If a base is used, the green in the teal is brought out more. It's more complex than it looks in the pan! With primer, the shade lasts 10 hours nonstop. Without, it looks noticeably faded at around 6 hours. Blue can be an intimidating color, but Haight is so versatile and wearable (it's softer without a base, bold and loud with one). Love!

MCRA is a shimmery/glittery champange-gold neutral. Over a bare lid, it looks like a soft rose gold; over primer, that color is more pronounced, and the glitter stuck better. Regardless, the glitter didn't feel large or gritty. It was also easy to blend. A huge drawback with this shade, though, is that it's crazy-prone to fallout. I had a noticeable amount within an hour. However, I got great wear otherwise. The color itself didn't fade for 8 hours without primer, and I made it to 10 with a base.

Obsessed.
I am obsessed with urban decay's eyeshadow. They are very pigmented alone but with the primer potion it stands out. (this is where blending is the key!) but they have mainly shimmers and barely any mattes. But would i recommend? most definitely.
This shadow is amazing, with or without primer. With, the color is a rich, deep metallic plum. Without its a cute shimmering pink. It's unusual and looks different than anything else in my stash. The color goes on smooth and evenly, and wears nicely for 8 hours. I had no problems with fallout, powderiness, unevenness, etc. With primer, the shadow can be a little difficult to blend around the edges, but that's hardly a drawback. The texture is smooth and the color looks great no matter how you wear it. I don't always rave about UD shadows, but Last Call is really great!

Something signature about UD's eyeshadows is that they love to fade after an hour. However, that faded color (be it the entire wash on the lid without primer, or some fading around the edges if with primer) usually wears well for hours. Kush didn't disappoint in either expectation. With primer, its magical vibrancy disappated, and without, the whole wash looked dull after about an hour. After that, the colors stayed put and didn't budge for 9 hours.
Kush feels a little, ever so slightly, dry in the pan when you dip your brush into it. But there's no issues with stiffness or blendability. It went on smooth and even, and I didn't have any issues with fallout (miraculous for a UD shadow with glitter-the micro glitter in this was fine and didn't irritate the eyes. Nor did it lend a disco ball look).
The color certainly isn't a "grass green." It goes on (over primer) much more meadowy. It's unarguably green, but its a soft green, lacking the depth and richness of a shade like grass. While a decent green in this particular shade has evaded me at drugstores, I like Kush for what it offers-pigment, color, longevity, ease of use-but it's still just a ho-hum shade of green.

Oh, UD. You and your tricky eyeshadows. I gave Loaded four stars (for when its used over primer), thanks in no small part to how interesting this shadow is. It doesnt look that interesting in the pan, no. And when it goes on, it just looks like a boring old black with almost invisible green shimmer. However, the color develops slowly over the hours, until it is completely, undeniably green. It was kind of magical!
But I'm sure there are tons of people who aren't amused by slowly-appearing shadows, and would prefer the color to be true right from the get-go. Loaded isn't for those people. However, if you enjoy the change or are indifferent, the wear with primer is phenomenal (pleasing wear for up to 12 hours). I had no issues with dryness, powdery-ness, or fallout. It went on smoothly and was easy to blend.

The perfect crease color!
The texture of this eyeshadow is smooth, and very pigmented. I saw this shade while at my local Sephora and once I swatched it, I knew it would be perfect. Normally, I write very lengthy reviews for products I love, but in this case, all I can say is that it is simply amazing.
