Used it once and thought it was too spastic to put on. It was very messy (oops, tipped the bottle slightly and the sink became sparkly instantly) and I had to brush the excess off my cheeks--to me that means the brush it comes with plain stinks. I only used it the one time and I don't have my receipt, but if Sephora takes it back I will be one happy chick. I bought one UD powder back in the summer and forgot I had it up until 2 weeks ago.

As a result, I don't do that, and instead "swill", I do the same with my UDPP and I'm going to bet that you could get out a whole lot more of the top "lump" in the packaging using that method. The thing to do re: how much their stinting you with the packaging would surely be to use one up and then cut into it and see whats left.<br/><br/>Does anyone remember the old loodr powders that UD did? There were 3 colours, named after metals and you were meant to apply them wet. The packaging came double ended, one half with the powder and the other for the brush. The brush was the same as the UDPP one and getting any out with it was nigh on impossible. However, from what I remember (I had these, used them twice and lost them in the make up bag ever after) they were pretty good when applied wet.<br/><br/>Eeww.

It has a "cheap loose eyeshadow" packaging feel with the brush and all. Urban Decay has great products, but the packaging is just horrible. I was really upset with this packaging.

Saw these the other day at Ulta and, although the packaging was beautiful, definitely COULD NOT see spending $20 for them. No way. $5, maybe. Lol. They just don't look that great to me.

sorry for my rather delayed reply :)

100% agreement!

I’d seriously be all over this if they had some brand new colors!

honestly if I seen this prior to purchasing the deluxe shadows I’d have totally ended up with them!

It’s surreal they introduced the entire line in the same exact colors as the DS’s!

What the hell.

sigh!

Hugs ;)

Happy Belated V-Day!
