Urban Decay’s Ocho Loco kit

I do like Urban Decay’s liner pencils - they apply very smoothly and adhere well, they stay put, and there are some really lovely shades in the line. But they’re so costly!! $22 per pencil - that’s nearly twice the cost of the Sephora Flashy Liners that I love so much, that perform just as well. Generally I would only buy the full-size Urban Decay pencils if Sephora’s line didn’t have the shade (Eldorado, for example.)

And then, this year, we get two great kits (this and the Smoked palette) with nary a duplicate between them. And one is FULL SIZE PENCILS!!! (Plus a Grindhouse dual-size pencil sharpener.) The kits are a good bargain, and Ocho Loco is an especially great buy.

Urban Decay’s Ocho Loco kit

This kit contained:

  • Hustle — copper-brown shimmer
  • Junkie — rich teal-green shimmer
  • LSD — deep blue shimmer
  • Mushroom — metallic silvery-brown shimmer
  • Perversion — black matte
  • Psychedelic Sister — metallic bright violet shimmer
  • Rockstar — muted deep violet matte
  • Stash — medium-deep olive shimmer

The colors are a great assortment of matte, shimmer, and metallics. Four of the colors - Hustle, LSD, Mushroom, and Psychedelic Sister - are new to this kit. I can remember Junkie being available in other kits, but it currently isn't available for individual purchase. And Rockstar and Perversion are two from the current line-up. I like that, for the black liner, we didn't get another Zero, which previously has been included in just about every kit Urban Decay produces. I love this kit so much - for the value, and for the unique shades - that I got a second kit with Sephora's VIB bonus coupon.

If you're an eyeliner fan, or know one, you'll definitely want to put this kit on your holiday wishlist! Get it quick, before it's discontinued! I have no idea how long this kit will be around, but since UD rarely ever does full-size pencil kits I'm guessing it won't be available much into 2013.
