I’m a big fan of Perversion.
I like to get it on…my water and/or lash lines. I’m always down for that action. Oh, yeah…
I appreciate that Urban Decay included a full-size Perversion Glide-On Eye Pencil in their new $52 Ten 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Set ’cause really — a girl can never have too many jet-black pencil liners. Still, I think it might’ve been cooler if they’d swapped it out for a new color.
Nine of the 10 long-lasting, smooth pencils in the limited edition kit are minis in new shades, while Perversion, the solitary full-size pencil in the set, has been around the block a few times, if you know what I’m sayin’. 😉
With the minis being new shades, I wonder why UD didn’t go all out with new shades for the entire set, but I digress…
Taupe plays a major role here, so if you like earth tones and grayish browns in matte or shimmery finishes, whee! — you’ll have a great time. I know I did with Smokeout, the satiny blackish taupe, which I’m wearing below.
I’m hoping, and crossing my fingers, toes and eyes, that UD releases a full-size version of Smokeout soon. I see some serious Unsung Hero potential there.
Color junkies, don’t despair about the taupe. The set also includes a nice mix of blues and purple, and even a shot of gold, giving those who aren’t totally Team Taupe room to play.
It’s cool to see UD release so many new colors. I just hope they keep it up! One only needs so many mini Mildews and Whiskeys, ya know?
I’ve also noticed, and I don’t know if it’s because my skin has changed as I’ve “grown up,” but some of these transfer into my creases a little (notice it with Perversion, in particular). I haven’t used any of my other 24/7s in a while, so I’m not sure if it’s something specific to this batch, or if I’d also notice it with the others.
PRICE: $52 for 10 pencils, nine of them minis and one full size (compare this to UD’s regular full-size pencils at $20 each)
AVAILABILITY: Limited edition online exclusive, and available now at urbandecay.com; coming soon to sephora.com, ulta.com, macys.com and beauty.com

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Smokeout does look very pretty. But I don’t need all these eyeliners. Lol.
I always want to like these mini-sets because they offer such great variety for the price, but I find them hard to use. After sharpening the pencils several times, the pencils become too short to hold in a way that’s not awkward.
Want. But I do wish they were all full-sized. I love Perversion, but I would have given it up in this set if UD had given us the rest in full size.
I love so many of the colours in this collection, but I *really* wish Glitter Rock, Moonspoon and Stargazer were more opaque! They’re all so pretty though 🙂
Damn you Urban Decay! Why must you come up with more things for me to buy?
These do look fab!
You look beautiful! These colors are really pretty. I am not a huge eyeliner girl because it makes my eyes look really small and beady but I think I may have to try the for my upper lash line.
Perversion is one my list! I don’t wear much of colored liners so this set wouldn’t make sense for me but the colors are pretty!
I’d love to get my hands on an UD eye pencil set like this one. Soon… SOOON!
The only shade that i’d like to wear on this set is of course Perversion! Then Vacancy and Smokeout for my crazy days! hahaa!
OK, you know I have to ask. How close is Faint to Whiskey? And, I think it’s a combo of age and oily lids. As much as I love UD liners, if I don’t coat my lids and under my lower lash lines with Pro Prime first, they start wiggling after a couple of hours. 🙁
LOL! I had a feeling you would. Faint is lighter, more grayish taupe and cooler. Whiskey is deeper, warmer. Does that help?
HAHA! Yes, thank you! I think I’d need to give it a swatch because grays sometimes age me and I don’t need that! That said, it would be very hard for any color to unseat Whiskey. 🙂
