This pallet is pretty dark which is up to you if that's good or bad (But I will say, something with the name Smoky SHOULD be darker and not all light shades in my opinion anyway!)
There's five mattes, and seven shimmers/glitters. As a hooded gal, I'm pretty dark happy with the amount of mattes! I have some crease shades, yay!
I will say, some are what I expect from Urban Decay, (Soft, smooth, foiled, buttery.) And some are SO dry, and sheer, and patchy, which was unexpected.
High - A super soft, creamy, glittery pinky highlighting shade! I love this on the inner corners!
Ditrysweet - A warm/orangey bronze which was soft, and metallic. This one's one of my least favourites colour wise on me!
Radar - This was the second biggest disappointment. It's THE most beautiful warm, metallic brown in the pan. But it's super sheer and stiff. This is three passes.
Armor - A glittery silver in the pan, but shows up more blue when swatched on me. It's soft, and smooth. But has fall out from the glitter.
Slanted - A metallic silvery blue, which was dry to the touch. But applied evenly.
Dagger - A dark grey matte with blue and silvery shimmers. It applies un-evenly (Some parts of the swatch and on the lid are darker than others)
Black Market - This was THE biggest disappointment to the pallet. The freaking matte black! It was so patchy, and dry to the touch. It was also sheer. This is three passes. I personally don't MIND a medium/sheer matte black so I don't go too overboard with it and can build it up. But this was just so dry and patchy!!
Smolder - This was one of my favourites in the pallet!! It's a deepened/blackened slightly shimmery purple. It looks like a matte on my lids, as most of the shimmer falls off. But it's so beautiful on my medium brown eyes!
Password - Matte grey. It's slightly dry! Not a "Me" shade, so I don't really reach for it!
Whiskey - Matte Neutral to warm brown. It's soft and silky! Just how I like my mattes. It blends onto my hood and lids with a few circles of my 217.
Combust - I don't know how to describe the colour of this one, It's a super light browny shade on me. it's perfect as a light transition for deeper looks! It's a HAIR too deep to set my eye primer with. It's soft and smooth!
Thirteen - A matte off white highlighting shade! I love this all over (Lashline to browbone) to set my eye primer, and to highlight my brow bones! It's SO soft, that it's a touch powdery.
Overal: 7.5/10
Would I rebuy: No. Because for one, it's $66 here in Canada, and I do not think it's 100% WORTH $66. I also don't adore all of the shades. I only like 8 out of 12.
Pros: Creamy, Beautiful shades, Well rounded pallet, I could take this with me on a trip and this could be all I need for eye shadows!
Cons: Hit and miss formula, Not the usual smooth heavenly formula from urban decay, patchy, dry, sheer.
