Make-Up Monday- Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Lounge

I. Love. This. Eyeshadow.

Urbandecay.com- Lounge *discontinued*

I came across this color one day during UD's Vault giveaway that the did on FB a few months back. I was so distraught that they were discontinuing it!!! AH! $18 be damned! I went a bought it hahaha.

I actually like to use this color alone and do a smokey look with it. I just put some on my lid and crease, blend that out a bit so it's faded. I then put some on my lower lash line. Simple sexy look. I'll post pictures of that look at another time as I'm not wearing that color today.

What I love about this product is that it's a multi-color eyeshadow in one. It's a burgundy, green/teal, color. It's predominately the burgundy color, and when the light hits it just right you can see the green/teal. Urban Decay's description of the color is: "redish-brown w/ green pearl sheen." I've definitely been into the multi-color/duo/tri-tone colors. Whether it's eyeshadows or nail polish. Oooo! That reminds me. I need a mani/pedi. *derp*

Now I've heard of a few dupes for this color as well for those who don't really want to spend $17 on this (since it's still available some places and on the website AT THIS POINT IN TIME!) I have YET to try these dupes, but from the swatches I've seen, they're REALLY close!!

The first one is from Lime Crime and it's called Dragon Scales. Their description of the eyeshadow is: "Color straight out of a fairy tale! Terracotta brown with turquoise shimmer." Which is right on the money  as far the description goes. Check out the color:

Seems pretty close to me. The price is a LITTLE cheaper at $13.99, but still steep for some of us.

Another dupe I came across is in a palette from Wet N Wild. It's the 738 Comfort Zone Palette and it's the definer on the right side of the palette.

Again, it looks pretty close. Burgundy with a green sheen. From what I've seen, you can pick up the palette for about $5 at your local drug store. Which is what I'll be doing next paycheck. Hahaha! I'll post an update with a swatch comparison for you next week. I've seen other swatches of this color in comparison to UD Lounge and it looks exactly the same. but those aren't MY swatches so I won't post them here. :)


Join me tomorrow for Terrible 2 Tuesday--throwing fits!!!

  1. Lime Crime no longer makes the Dragon Scales but SYN Cosmestics makes a good dupe! It's called Corrupt.
