SWATCH-FEST: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencils & My Mini Haul

Big and blendable, this 2-in-1 waterproof 24/7 shadow pencil keeps going as long as you do. Our next generation of famous 24/7 pencils can be used as eyeshadow, eyeliner, or both!

They’re crease-proof, they’re waterproof… it’s the next generation of 24/7 Pencils! Our Shadow Pencils deliver incredible color payout, but feel lightweight. The new fat shape allows you to cover large areas more quickly. Use the thin tip as eyeliner, or the side of the tip as a generous swipe of eyeshadow. Luscious drop-dead shades make you feel every inch the creative type, as you blend shimmer, cream and sparkle finishes. Skip the powder shadow brushes and water – our pencils make it easier than ever to get vibrant eyeshadow looks on the go. Experiment with multiple shades layered together, then blend away for an unbelievable effect that sets and stays put. All shades are paraffin, mineral oil, and paraben-free.

Available in 12 colors. Retails at SGD$36 each. These Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencils were launched before the Sephora Jumbo Liner 12HR Wear Waterproof do. Yes, they serve the same purpose (eyeshadow, eyeliner or both). Sephora ones come in more colors though.

I did pick up 2 of these before I got the Sephora ones. Guess what colors??

Answer at the bottom with pics included.. :D

Well, I do feel that the Urban Decay ones are uniformly better in quality than the Sephora ones. Even the lighter shades are so creamily pigmented. The color payoff is fabulous, evidently shown from the swatches.

  • Sin (champagne)
  • Lit (golden bronze)
  • Midnight Cowboy (beige with silver sparkle)
  • Clash (bright turquoise with silver sparkle)
  • Wasteland (dark brown)
  • Morphine (light purple with pale blue shift)

 

  • Barracuda (black with silver sparkle)
  • Rehab (taupe)
  • Delinquent (dark purple with bright purple sparkle)
  • Clinic (emerald green with silver sparkle)
  • Mercury (gunmetal)
  • Narc (mossy green)

 

My mini haul - Clinic & Delinquent

These colors look very familiar?? CLICK HERE hehehe :p

Let's see the difference.. not much actually..

MAC Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner in Designer Purple VS Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencil in Delinquent

Hmm.. seriously looks almost the same under the naked eye.. That's good news for me.. AND you! Delinquent is permanently available! :D The miniscule difference is the shimmers in Delinquent are lil' more pinkish. I say, a super close dupe!

MAC Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner in Undercurrent VS Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencil in Clinic

The difference is there. Gold & green shimmers -> Undercurrent. Light silver sparkle bits -> ClinicClinic looks more tealish than Undercurrent. Not exactly a dupe (in my opinion).

Both MAC & Urban Decay are intensely pigmented, budge-proof, smudge-proof. MAC - SGD$28 (1.2g), Urban Decay - SGD$36 (2.8g). Price-wise, that's ALOT of difference. *GASP*

Thanks for reading!
