EOTD: The Born To Run palette, by Urban Decay...

I was looking through my original demos for today's palette and realized that none of the ones I selected for my palette review featured one of the brand's OG shades - Smog. If you're a fan of Urban Decay, you'll recognize the suits-all shade Smog; it is a permanent single (when I was younger, I had loads of those silver dollar singles - for a few years, they were the only eyeshadows I wore) and it has featured in over half a dozen palettes over the years (including the iconic Naked palette), so it is undoubtedly my most-worn shade from Urban Decay.

Anyway: today I'm going to share a recent, more 'everyday' simpler look where I used Smog, as I just felt like giving a old favourite a chance to shine...

I've owned the shade Smog before many times over the years, both as a single and in a few of the different Urban Decay palettes it featured in; I hit hard pan on roughly half of the shades in a Naked palette - including Smog - and had serious dents in all of the other shades (I was obsessed with it for a good six or seven years), before the texture of the shadows began to change and I threw the palette away. I also encountered Smog in the Book Of Shadows: NYC palette [I still bitterly regret giving that palette away] and I can't recall which other palettes I had with Smog in, but I know that I've seen it a few more times - maybe somewhere else in the Book Of Shadows and/or Vice series? 

Does anyone remember the name of Urban Decay's first eyeshadow palette (yep, I'm that old)? I wonder if Smog was part of that... I recall that the actual palette was little more than credit card-sized, and it definitely had the shades Midnight Cowboy, Uzi, Polyester Bride & a couple of Lip Gunk pans in it - it's going to annoy me now, as I couldn't find it on Google to look and see what the other shades were.

The Born To Run eyeshadow palette costs £39.50 and can be found at Urban Decay, Debenhams and Feel Unique - Debenhams is the only site that doesn't have a free shipping option..
