Urban Decay Moondust Space Cowboy Glitter Eyeshadow Quad Comes in with Basic Packaging

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Urban Decay Moondust Space Cowboy Glitter Eyeshadow Quad ($39) for Holiday 2024 and it’s giving basic. If you recall Urban Decay Rebel Star, Cosmic Craze, and Wild Dipper 24/7 Moondust Eyeshadow were three. limited-edition palettes that launched for Holiday 2023 but the packaging was at least a LITTLE bit better than what we’re getting with the Space Cowboy Glitter Eyeshadow Palette this year. I can’t deny I’m struggling wrapping my head around the fact they want me to spend near $40 on a plastic compact. But some other part of me is like, “OOOOOOO SPARKLY! I WANT IT!”

Here’s the thing. You might feel like I do that this is REALLY basic for Urban Decay which is a brand we associate with bold and if you do feel that way you might be surprised what I’m about to say. I’m placing bets this will sell out. GASP shock WHAT? Yeah, so for some reason or another Moondust Eyeshadows have becoming a viral sensation again. I mean, they’ve always been a really nice formula but at the moment people are sort of discovering them for the first time. Sure, we lived through their release but there’s an audience that hasn’t and that audience will likely sell this little palette out. I place bets this won’t end up on the clearance rack at the end of the Holiday season. It’ll sell out before that.

And sure, I’ll admit, it’s actually really tempting because the shades are very, very pretty! The peachy pink shimmers are really making me want it but I’m just trying to get passed the damn plastic compact before I can take it seriously. You get four shadows which are 0.05 oz each. That’s pretty generous as the full-size shades are 0.06 oz each. So there is a little bang here for your buck.

The shades in the Urban Decay Moondust Space Cowboy Glitter Eyeshadow Quad are:

  • Space Cowboy Rides Again (light peach shimmer and silver glitter)
  • A-List Energy (peachy pink shimmer and magenta glitter)
  • Sparkle Hour (pink shimmer and silver glitter)
  • Lunar Lit (warm brown and silver glitter)

Tell me I’m not crazy for loving these shades? They look really pretty! The Urban Decay Moondust Space Cowboy Glitter Eyeshadow Quad is a bit on the basic side when it comes to packaging but the shades inside are anything but. You can snag this one now at Sephora!

Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork VI The Freedom Palette Expensive but Not Written Off

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork V1 The Freedom Palette Magnetic, Customizable, Stackable Palette with Illuminating Pigments for Eyes, Face & Lips for Holiday 2024 is now available and she’s expensive. This $128 eyeshadow palette contains 18 sparkly shades that can be used on your eyes, face, or lips. It comes housed in new magnetic cases that allows you to remove each tray of shadows and arrange them in any way you want (they even stack together). You even get a small to go bag to carry it in! But not sure that will tempt anyone into dishing out $128 for this palette but I can honestly, say I won’t write it off. Why? Because I’ve gotten some of the past Lightwork Eyeshadow Palettes on sale (I rarely pay retail for Danessa as she has such super sales) and the formula is amazing. The shadows typically have a creamy consistency with intense pigment and a liquid metal-like look on eyes. It’s pretty much the old, you get what you pay for moment when it comes to Danessa’s eyeshadow palettes as they are worth it when it comes to quality. That being said the shadows are smallish at around 0.042 each but considering. I can’t really do a break down per shade because Danessa is popular for creams and not powders. She doesn’t offer any single eyeshadow shades in a powder formula like the ones in her palettes which makes it difficult to figure out per shade how much of a value you’re getting. That being said I can’t really see myself dishing out for this as full-price just because I don’t use bolder shades like these as I once did. I can however, see myself buying it when it goes on sale. I also, fear that some of the shades may be rerun from Lightwork V1 which I have (and love). As you can below the Danessa Myrics Beauty Lightwork V I Am Palette does look like there are a few similar shades. I wouldn’t say dupes considering I haven’t see Lightwork V1 in person but it’s just the color scheme does similar. I’ve mentioned it before and I’ll mention it again these palettes do give off those L’Oreal HIP Eyeshadow vibes but the formula and texture are WAY different obviously.

What’s shades do you get with the Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork VI The Freedom Palette? Expect to find beautiful greens, golds, pinks, browns, and even hot pink in this palette!

Shades include:

  • Proud (warm gold with soft-pink shift)
  • Higher (electric peach with flamingo-pink shift)
  • Unapologetic (suede warm brown)
  • Rise (yellow gold with peach shift)
  • Gleaming (beetle green with warm-brown shift)
  • Nirvana (olive green with teal shift)
  • Release (seafoam blue with lilac shift)
  • Fluid (bright teal with light-gold shift)
  • Unbound (satin indigo blue)
  • Free (light hot pink with dove-grey shift)
  • Euphoria (orchid purple with royal-plum shift)
  • Serenity (light neon pink with yellow-green shift)
  • Joy (bright coral pink with bumblebee-gold shift)
  • Love (silky berry magenta)
  • Dance (ballerina pink with silver shift)
  • Rejoice (vibrant rose gold with antique-gold shift)
  • Bliss (velvet eggplant purple)
