i watched christine/temptalia's new video on it lastnight & i can say i'm disappointed with it. i'd love to hear thoughts! i'll link to the video if you wanna hear in depth information about it!

basically from the video:
-each palette is $18 & comes with walk of shame shadow & mini shadow brush.
-$106 to buy the palette & fill it with 5 shadows (6th shadow would be walk of shame)
-$126 to buy the palette & fill with 6 shadows
-old shadows* will snugly fit in it, so if you have a ton UD shadows, you could just purchase the palette alone & put your own in.

*if you didn't know, UD reformulated their shadows & have redone their packaging, making the bottoms pop out easier.

sounds interesting but honestly i just do not have the money. it took me a while to save up for both the naked palettes and i hope they make more of those and i want to create my own MAC palette but like i said money is tough. so its something i think if you have to money to do it would be great but i just dont. but i dont like how each palette comes with that one shadow, seems like a waste if you buy 2 or 3 palettes

I don't like that there is zero discount on the singles. I think I am going to stick with Inglot for their freedom system. UD needs to work on an all matt Naked or a neon/bright version. Then would throw my money at them :)

At first, I was super excited to hear about it. But after watching Christine's video, not so much. I'm not sure what the hype about having a palette for your UD shadows is. Especially since it only holds 6. Well, 5 if you keep the shade it comes with. I would rather pop my UD shades out and keep more, in a cheap, generic palette, than by the specific UD one for that much money!

The whole thing is incredibly stupid.

too expensive, IMO. They should offer it at a slightly lower rate if you buy it altogether! $126 for 6 eyeshadows is insane to me... new formula, or not!

I just think its hideously expensive. Over £80 here in the UK for six eyeshadows, um no. I'd rather spend just over half of it and get another 10 pan Inglot palette!

I like that some of the shades from past palettes have joined the permanent range. That's good.

But like a lot of you, I find the Build Your Own Palette system is horrifically expensive. For that money, you can buy a twenty-pan palette from Inglot (20 shadows @ $5 USD each + $20 for the palette = $120). Or you can save up and build a MAC palette (15 refill pans @ $11.50 each + $16 for the palette = $188.50) or a MUFE palette (10 shadows @ $19 each + $20 for the palette = $210, but keep in mind MUFE shadows are much larger than either MAC or UD). UD's own pre-made palettes are less expensive, and -- particularly with the Naked palettes, all four BOS palettes, and the 15th Anniversary palette -- you got more shadows for your money.

I also wish Urban Decay made refill pans available at a lower price point. I don't know about you lot, but personally, if I'm depotting an eyeshadow, I don't intend to put it back in the pot!

Personally, I'd just buy the shades I want and put them in a different palette.
