Product Review:
With all the excitement shifting toward bold bright colors
this palette was highly anticipated by all of us rainbow color loving freaks.
The packaging gives off an electrified glimmer into what is held beneath the
lid of its hard plastic case. Once inside the array of color is most likely not
what the average eye shadow palette buyer had in mind. But instead, a choice of
ten standard size highly pigmented pans sit eagerly waiting for their turn to
be applied in a whimsical or serious fashion creating a very personal
statement.
Being a huge fan of Urban Decay products, especially eye
shadows, receiving this as a gift was awesome! Sadly it did not have what I
would consider to be the best selection of neon charged pigments in this
palette. The best example for me would be the almost Gatorade colored Thrash, a
pale yellow/lime green that could have been replaced with a true neon yellow
and that is simply my opinion. Onto the fun and what electrified me about this
palette. Revolt, even though not a neon color, stands out with its silver metallic
glitter specks so use it to solo like I have or blend it for a new pop on an
old favorite. Savage is the hot neon pink that not only will work for your eyes
but chalk some onto your hair for a splash of color on your locks. Slowburn is
my favorite in this palette as it is a true color in and out of the pan having
a vibrant reddish orange glow it will make you want to try this for sure.

There have been ample amounts of comparisons made to
Sugarpill’s line of colors. Having their Pro Palette I can say for a fact the
colors are all matte, the pans are larger, and these are true neon colors when
held next to the UD Electric Palette. Remember these are two separate companies
with two separate fan bases. So to say one did this and this one is better is
somewhat irrelevant.
With the world of social media being what it is I have seen
so many using the Electric Palette and creating such unique fun and dramatic
looks which will definitely mean trying some new looks this summer.
