Urban Decay release new items and new Book of Shadows Vol 2 for Winter 09

I was slightly horrified to realise that I’d seemingly missed a whole raft of product launches from Urban Decay during my recent break from the internet. Wandering around Debenhams yesterday I discovered all kinds of new treasures at the UD counter, including the new Book of Shadows Vol 2, which MA Agnes told me had already sold out. She did have plenty of the Primer Potion for skin, a new 6 eyeshadow palette in two designs, and the limited edition metal lipstick case left. There was also a miniatures kit featuring Pocket Rocket gloss, the new version of Skyscraper mascara, primer potion (of course) and others, plus a new collection of 24/7 miniatures. But I was kind of distraught to think that a new BOS had been and gone without me even getting the chance to agonise over buying it.

Looking around online today though, it seems like Debenhams have got these new items before UD even promoted most of them on their US website - what’s that about? With any luck they will make a further appearance closer to the festive season, but at the moment I can’t find hide nor hair of them online with the exception of BOS 2 advertised as an online exclusive to US customers. I wonder if Boots will be taking all these in the run up to Christmas, as they did with last year’s palettes and Book of Shadows 1?

In the meantime, I’m enjoying the palette I picked up. It’s called “Preen”. It has 6 generously sized round pans of shadow and a miniature 24/7 pencil in Zero. There is also a miniature UDPP genie bottle included in the package.

Shades are:

Snatch (a limited edition version of the old rose-taupe Scratch, but with multicoloured glitter)
Painkiller (a shimmer swimming-pool blue)
Flash (iridescent royal purple)
Smog (an olive-bronze colour)
Toasted (neutral plummy mid-brown shimmer)
Mildew (dark shimmer moss green)

The palette is available in two finishes - one with a black cover featuring a peacock design, and an interior with peacock feathers. The other features cartoon sketches of female figures.
Cost was £18 - total bargain!

Check out the items at Debenhams Oxford St, London.
