I picked up the Urban Decay Smoked palette recently and I'm in love. First off, I love a smokey eye like the rest of them and this palette delivers on both coloured and neutral smokey tones. If you like your smokey eyes neutral, Freestyle, Backdoor and Barlust is perfect but you can also get a green, purple and blue smokey eye in Loaded which is a dark green, Rockstar which is a dark purple and Evidence which is a beautiful blue seen on my lid in these pics.
The Smoked palette comes with ten eyeshadows and is housed in a soft zippable pouch that resembles a wallet. It also comes with a little booklet that contains a number of looks that includes step by step instructions on how to achieve each look. The colours are super easy to blend as is expected of the Urban Decay shadows and wears well throughout the day.
In true Urban Decay style, along with the ten shadows is a mini size Urban Decay primer potion and a full size 24/7 Perversion Glide on pencil. That truly sweetened the deal for me but honestly, at $49, the shadows alone would have been good enough.

Overall, an amazing palette. Urban Decay truly delivered on this one. This palette is a must have and is a great accompaniment to their Naked palettes. It's no wonder the Smoked palette has been getting rave reviews. It is one that will be a staple in my kit and personally for a long time. Available at sephora.com
