Oz: The Great and Powerful Eyeshadow Palette: Glinda Review

As most of you might know Disney is coming out with a highly anticipated movie called Oz: The Great and Powerful....Cast members include: James Franco as Oscar, Mila Kunis as Theodora, Michelle Williams as Glinda, and Rachel Weisz as Evanora. Everyone tends to think that it's supposed to be "the Wizard of Oz" but this movie doesn't involve Dorothy and her journey down the yellow brick road. This is more about us being introduced to Oz and the three witches, and this is how Oz gets its "great and powerful" wizard. Personally, I am counting down the days until its March 8th showing, because it   is starring my two favorite actresses (Mila Kunis and Michelle Williams)...Mila Kunis is mainly my most favorite, but Michelle charmed her way into my top favorite list because I have watched a few of her movies on Netflix lately and she is phenomenal and so beautiful. I cannot wait to see her in action as Glinda, the good witch, which brings me to the point of this blog post: I recently purchased Urban Decay's Oz: The Great and Powerful eyeshadow palette in Glinda. Which is surprising even to me, because you get to pick between the Theodora (Mila) or Glinda (Michelle)...the Theodora is represented by my most fave actress and represents more of the dark side, which I always seem to be more attracted to, but for once I wanted to branch out and try something new. So like I said, I bought the Glinda palette.

            It includes the eyeshadow palette, a lipstick/gloss pencil, and a "get the look" card.

I just love the packaging of this palette, don't you?

Well that is my review, I hope to record a makeup tutorial using these wonderful things soon. But in the meantime, here's the Oz trailer if you've yet to see it.
