MAC's glide like butter on the lids but UD shadows are a little bit more slippery, I believe. The texture of the shadows is slightly different from MAC's as it has a very slippery texture. The shadows are wearable during the day if you use the neutral ones and even the brighter ones as I discovered that they are quite buildable. If you are into glitter and shimmer, this palette is for you, but stay away if you are repulsed by anything glittery. The shadows are beautiful, very pigmented and glide effortlessly on the skin. I heard that UD is replacing (or has already replaced - as evidenced by Sephora's UD Book of Shadows) this with real brushes. When you open the box, you will see a real mirror with ten little squares of eyeshadows, individually labeled with a rather cheap-looking sponge applicator which I didn't care very much for. The pink on matte black is also very appealing. It depicts a pistol that spews animals, hearts, skulls, botanical accents and squigglies- so Urban Decay-ish. I like the Ammo box because of the simplicity of the lines, the thin casing which is perfect for travel, and the pretty design in front.

I kinda like the cardboard box with the magnetized closure even though it looks cheap compared to the ornate metal or sturdy plastic that MAC uses for its holiday palettes.

So anyway, the fact that it was almost free for the price I paid for this kit is okay with me. I mean, why do I need to saw my tube in half just to scoop out a substantial amount of product that I paid for anyway? Besides, I am SO satisfied with my Beige-ing shadestick and Soft Ochre paint pot that I don't really need it. Then when I saw those pictures proliferating in blog-landia about how devious and scheme-y the UDPP container where there was a lot of product hidden in the tube and you needed to cut your genie tube in half just to scoop out 50% of the product, I promised to stay far far away from an overhyped product in such a horrendous container. Didn't like the staying power of my shadows with it I liked MAC Beige-ing shadestick a lot more and prefer the way it makes my eyeshadows look vibrant compared to the UDPP. Let's just say I was never impressed with it.

Well I used to have one two years ago, but I gave it away. Why? A lot of you are probably wondering why I never use UDPP in any of my looks. I would never have bought a full-size UDPP for retail if it were not included in this kit and if it weren't on sale. As I mentioned, the "plus" meant a full-size UDPP. Okay, let's start with the Ammo Shadow Box Plus.

NOTE: As of this writing, Ammo Shadow Box Plus ($39) is currently sold out on the UD website, although they still have the Ammo Shadow Box for $34, without the UDPP. Yes, I bought these for way below 75 bucks! Originally total would have been $82, but the 30% discount was amazing I saved over $25! I got the Ammo Shadow Box Plus, plus meaning it came with a full-size tube of Urban Decay Primer Potion for only $39 without the discount, so I only paid $27.30 for the box of ten shadows plus the UDPP! I also got the 24/7 concealer in Light-Medium, and the Velvet Rope 24/7 Liner Travel Set. I could have had free shipping if I let my haul reach $75, but these are the only items I'd wanted. I got my haul in as little as four days and I only paid $6 for shipping.

It was my first time to shop at that site, and I am glad to say that ordering was a breeze, payment was easy (I could use Paypal on the UD site which was surprising, but awesome!!), and shipping was uber fast. Urban Decay held their Friends and Family Sale last week with a whopping 30% discount throughout its entire online store. I was so excited when I got my little package from yesterday.
