UD Electric Palette Dupes?

When I saw this look by xsparkage, I was like OMG I NEED this palette! Then, I remembered my low buy and decided to try to recreate the look with shadows already in my collection. It's not an exact match, but the colors looked similar enough that I was pretty happy with the result.


I used Sugarpill's Acidberry, and Unhinged, Noise, Vice, and Chaos from the UD Vice palette, as well as Shellshock from the UD Vice 2 palette.

...and then the palette launched, and I just couldn't help myself. I ordered the Electric palette.

So I decided I would recreate xsparkage's look again, this time using the same exact colors.



When I compare my two pictures side by side, I can see how much darker/deeper my dupe look is. However, I still like my dupe look a lot.

Do you need the Electric palette if you have similar colors? Probably not, but if you're a bit of a UD hoarder like I am, you'll probably end up getting it anyway lol.

Pink Sapphires and Black Diamonds

For today's look I broke out the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lavish Palette and tried to recreate on of the looks in the tutorial booklet that came with it (I LOVE when companies include tutorial books!). I added a little Lorac 3D Liquid Lustre on the lid for some extra sparkle. (ignore the redness at the outer corner of my eye, my skin is a little irritated today)


Keep reading to see how I created this look :)
