Urban Decay Eyeshadow Ammo Shadow Box review!

 Who wouldn't want Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Ammo Shadow Box? This beautiful palette consists of Urban Decay's 10 best selling eye shadows. It is perfect for any eye shadow fan, especially those who love to sparkle!
 
 
 
This shadow box has the shades Smog, Mildew, Oil Slick, Last Call, Chopper, Maui Wowie, Shattered, Polyester Bride, Grifter and Sin. I really love the variety of shades in this shadow box. Each shadow is different. Also, all ten shades are part of the permanent range, so they can be purchased individually if desired.
 
The top row of shadows contain:
No camera flash - Smog, Mildew, Oil Slick, Last Call and Chopper.

Smog - This is a warm, bronze medium-brown colour that really suits those with green or blue eyes. It is quite a coppery colour but has a nice shimmer that applies nicely to the eyes. It is also very pigmented.
 
Mildew - This is an unusual colour. It is a mossy dark green colour with a subtle shimmer. This isn't my favourite of the bunch.
 
Oil Slick - A lovely classic black with teal micro-shimmer. This is pigmented but applies on the lid a little more gray-black than the eye shadow colour leads on. It does apply a little more drier than the other shadows too.
 
Last Call - This is a wonderful heather-pink colour. It has red undertones, metallic, and applies very pigmented on the lid so you don't need much shadow. Yet again, this is another very unique colour but be careful not to apply much as it is quite a red shadow.
 
Chopper - This is an orange almost gold light brown. This shadow also has a metallic finish that I personally love. This shadow has a very smooth texture and has a lot of shimmer in it.
 
 
The bottom row of shadows consists of:

No flash - Maui Wowie, Shattered, Polyester Bride, Grifter and Sin.

Camera flash - Maui Wowie, Shattered, Polyester Bride, Grifter and Sin.

 Maui Wowie - This is an almost dirty gold colour. The pigmentation is absolutely fantastic and definitely one of my favourites from this shadow box.
 
Shattered - I personally don't like this colour as it is a quite a daring, teal blue shade with a frosty finish. However, it does apply very soft and has a nice amount of shimmer.
 
Polyester Bride - I use this shadow a lot on my brow bone and the inner of my eye as it is a great highlighter. It has a lot of sliver glitter in but applies to my eyes as a creamy white shadow when blended. This isn't quite as pigmented as I would of liked.
 
Grifter - This is a lovely light purple pink shadow. Almost like a lavender colour. The glitter doesn't look as obvious as some of the other shadows in the box and the colour is very sheer.
 
Sin - This is my favourite in the shadow box. Very pigmented, high shine and a gorgeous colour. The shadow is hard to describe but it looks very much like a warm beige. This shadow has a really nice amount of glitter and doesn't look over the top.
 
VERDICT - Urban Decay Eyeshadow Ammo Shadow Box makes a real treat. The shadow box comes with a handy double ended brush and an excellent mirror. The shadows don't smudge, crease or 'melt away' during the day so they are really worth it. It's expensive but a little really does go a long way!
 
Each colour is different which is great so it really is worth the buy. The palette lasts for ages, the shadows apply smoothly and the colours don't fade in the slightest. I would definitely go as far to say I would buy this whole palette again!
