Urban Decay’s Ocho Loco II kit

I love these Ocho Loco kits. They’re a great value: even if there are fewer than four unique shades in the set, you’re still only paying $7.25 for each full-size eyeliner pencil and another $2 for the Grindhouse sharpener. These items normally retail for $19 each and $10, respectively - so buying this kit is a pretty good deal. Last year’s Ocho Loco had four colors not found elsewhere in the 24-7 eyeliner collection. This year? We get five.

Urban Decay’s Ocho Loco II kit

Last spring, the 24-7 eyeliner pencil collection was changed, several shades going away and more being added. All four of the 'exclusive' Ocho Loco colors were now in the new lineup. I don't think that it'll happen again so soon after the major lineup change, so if you're interested in these shades, grab one of these sets. The exclusive colors this year are Crave, Mars, Tornado, Twice Baked, and Ultraviolet. Twice Baked is like a more golden-brown version of Mushroom; Tornado slightly resembles the vintage Lust with sparkles, and Ultraviolet is somewhere between Binge and Psychedelic Sister. Mars is a deep rich emerald, so it isn't too similar to Covet (a peacock-green). Crave is like a matte version of Ether. I had to use my sharpener almost immediately, as somehow during packaging the edge of Mars' lid had gouged a chunk out of the pencil-tip.

This kit contained:

  • Crave — medium-dark charcoal matte (exclusive to Ocho Loco II)
  • Deep End — metallic bright teal-aqua shimmer
  • Mars — metallic medium-deep emerald shimmer (exclusive to Ocho Loco II)
  • Perversion — black matte
  • Roach — medium-deep copper-brown shimmer
  • Tornado — violet sparkle (exclusive to Ocho Loco II)
  • Twice Baked — faded medium brown matte (exclusive to Ocho Loco II)
  • Ultraviolet — metallic blue-violet sparkle (exclusive to Ocho Loco II)
