Urban Decay's Book of Shadows Volume IV offers a great selection of both color and neutral eye shadows. I find myself enjoying the the colors in this palette a bit more than in the Urban Decay 15 year anniversary palette.
My only gripe with the palette is in the packaging. The glue used to bind the decorative paper onto the palette seems to be wearing off, thus scratching the surface of an entire row of shadows whenever the palette is opened. Also, the drawer slides out a bit to easily, so I need to either tape or tie something around the palette if I want to travel with it.
Beside the packaging malfunction, I love this palette. Some of the shadows are a bit on the sheer side (some times I enjoy a subtle sheer wash on color of the lid, not every look has to be "BAM!," here's some color in your face!!), but they can be layered for a more intensity. All ten of the new eye shadows are gorgeous. Introducing the 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in this palette is genius on Urban Decay's part; for those who enjoy this liquid liner (present company included) will want to invest in more colors.
The Book of Shadows Volume IV retails for $64 and is available at urbandecay.com, sephora.com and macys.com
