Urban Decay Oz the Great & Powerful Palette

[katelynbby]

I'm in love with Glinda palette.  I just love the sturdy packaging, big mirror, and the fact that when you open the palette you can set it down -the lid props up so you can still use the mirror.  Add in that you can change up the shadows (compare to the price of an UD customizable palette that only holds four shadows plus the price of each shadow)  and that you get a unique shade of liner and a wearable lip color.

Love.

Just wish they had a bit more room in the palette so it could also hold the lippie. 

Also I'm a loser and I keep just using the pink shade on my lid and crease.  I love making looks with the other shades, but I just keep coming back to dat pink.

I haven't done much with the two glittery shades, but I'm loving Glinda! Been rocking purple shadow looks since it came!

got Theodora last week and was  a little disappointed....it just...was a little redundant when i realized how many shades of brown i had from UD....lol

I bought Glinda yesterday when I was at Ulta. So far I love it! Although I only used it once lol. I'm a sucker for UD they are amazing I'm excited to play around with it to get some pretty spring looks with it.

The inevitable moment just came; I ordered the Glinda pallet.  I already had the Theodora pallet, but the fact that UD extended their friends and family sale for an extra day got me :-/  I knew I would never wear the rich purple color at the top left, so I ordered a different single to replace that one with which is how I ultimately justified getting this pallet; since with the 20% off sale for a little less than $5 more than the original $49 price I was able to get the pallet and replace the only color I don't like with one of my choosing.

I think these pallets are good deals, but with all the UD I have it was the last thing I needed.  However, no regrets the pallet looks amazing and I can't wait to use it.  The order is also coming with a sample of the UD BB cream that I just passed up at Sephora for 100 points so it works out well

I really don't think you will regret it; I have been using my Glinda so much in anticipation for spring!!!

Oh yeah, I haven't even received it yet and I already don't regret it  Can't wait for it to arrive!

I won the Theodora palette from Courtney at Phyrra.net!  So excited, as I wasn't planning on buying it but definitely liked the green shadows and the design.

I'm upset, I ordered my Glinda pallet on Sunday and it hasn't even shipped yet. Online it just says, "In process". Super lame, I was hoping to use it this weekend.

Who did you order from?  Urban Decay's tracking is very behind, in my experience.  I hope Glinda arrives at your house soon!

I ordered directly from Urban Decay on the last day of their friends and family sale.  I've ordered items from their website probably 8-9 times in the past and this has never happened before.  At this point I probably would have preferred to pay the extra $ at Sephora and have it now!  I hope it arrives soon too, I need Glinda in my life!

theyre probably behind because of the friends and family sale. the same thing happened to me when they had that "were on holiday, if you order now, we'll give you tons of free samples " back in december.

I think they are behind because of the friends and family sale too, but I still think this is a bit excessive.  2-3 days I could understand.  And back in December they at least said something like, "Although we can't ship right now, you can order" or something to that affect! There was no warning this time :-/

cuz it wasn't a sale. they were on straight up holiday and they told you up front that they weren't shipping.

this is a sale and they only have so many people who can pack orders.

I ordered on Friday and I didn't get the shipping notice until Tuesday & I wont be getting my stuff until wednesday, which I think is a long time. It said on the website that they were off on Monday because of the holiday. I do think that they should have shipped your items by now. Hopefully you get your shipment confirmation soon.

Exactly, last time they stated it upfront.

This is the only company I personally have encountered that has taken so long to ship (at least 5 days, including today) during a sale.  For instance when Sephora has their 20% VIB sale, when Old Navy just had a 20% off sale, and when Forever 21 recently had a sale.  Their shipping remained on track so there was no reason for me to assume things would be different with Urban Decay, especially since I have ordered from them several times before (including during previous friends and family sales) and have never experienced an extended processing time like this before.

I must have been posting my previous comment around the same time as you were posting this one so I missed it.  Sorry!

I do think it is kind of a long time too.  The only reason I logged on to the UD website today to see what was up was because I thought I must have accidentally deleted a shipping notification.  But apparently I did not!

I really hope our Glinda pallets come soon, I'm jealous every time I see a swatch!

UD did have something posted on their site last week or weekend that there would be a shipping delay due to their warehouse being closed for some reason, inventory or Presidents Day or something, and orders would not be packed and shipped until after Monday.

Yeah when I ordered on Sunday the site did say they were closed on Monday which is all cool, but at this point I am looking at a Friday shipment best case scenario.

I know how you feel! I really want to get my hands on the pallet asap. This is the second time I've ordered the Glinda pallet. The first time Ulta made a mistake and it took me a couple days to get my money back. Now Urban Decay is being slow on shipping. So by the time I finally receive my Glinda it will be almost a month since I first ordered it. Trying very hard to be patient!
