Urban Decay Ammo Palette

Another Hautelook find!  Urban Decay was featured a few weeks back and included a few palettes, including this one and the Mariposa.  Since I'm a bigger fan of neutral colors and shy away from brights (glasses, small eyes, you get the picture), I decided to go with the Ammo.  Plus, it sounded way more badass. :P  This is the original version of the palette (Urban Decay relaunched it in January with a different package design, a brush instead of a sponge-tip applicator, and Primer Potion).  

Fancy design coming from a fuzzy pistol....woooooo

Shadows inside!

Swatches! Yeah!

Most of these colors are shimmery, some with slightly bigger glitter.  

Colors:

1. Smog--a really nice bronzey-brown shimmer--I love this color, and it has nice pigmentation.
2. Mildew--an olive green shimmer--This looks more wearable than I expected--it seems to have medium payoff, but I'm sure you can build it up.
3. Oil Slick--a glittery black
4. Last Call--a berry red shimmer
5. Chopper--an awesome shimmery copper--I LOVE this color.  It has great color payoff and it's SO pretty!
6. Maui Wowie--a shimmery golden yellow--This reminds me of pineapple!
7. Shattered--a nice light teal-blue shimmer--This is really pretty and has nice pigmentation!
8. Polyester Bride--a glittery white
9. Grifter--a shimmery light purple--this actually swatched into a beautiful color! Can be built up, but I even like the color with one swipe!
10. Sin--a shimmery champagne--oh goodness, this one is gorgeous! Good color payoff and a lovely sheen.

So far, I've only used Smog, Chopper, and Sin together in a really pretty light shimmery bronzed look--perfect for summer and the colors complement each other perfectly.  

The shimmery shadows are very smooth and creamy.  The glittery are a little more chunky feeling, but I think if you packed them on with a brush they could come out pretty well.  

I'm looking forward to using more color in my eye looks, and I think this was a perfect addition to my nude-heavy eyeshadow collection!

Grifters and Choppers, I'm outskies.
