This is long overdue, but Urban Decay's Book of Shadows III has been available for a few months now. I'm a hugeeeee fan of Urban Decay's shadows. Most are buttery soft, easily blendable, and highly pigmented, with lots of colors not available by other brands. The packaging is always incredibly cute, although personally I don't really care for it, since I depot everything anyways.

-Kush (green metallic with silver glitter) LE
-Rockstar (deep red-purple with metallic base) LE
-Money (metallic light green) LE

Review:
$54 seems pretty steep for makeup, but when you do the math, you get this palette for less than $4 per shadow, which is a DEAL, especially for the quality of UD's shadows. Plus, you get a Primer Potion and two full-sized eyeliners. Not bad! If you purchased everything offered separately, you'd be paying well over $54.
I love the majority of the shadows in this palette (Loaded, Rockstar, and Psychedelic Sister being the stand-out stars), but I wish UD would get the hint and nix Midnight Cowboy Rides Again already. This is no joyride. They put this in almost EVERY palette. It's like the person who self-invites him/herself to events, and you just have to put up with it til it's over. For those unfamiliar, Midnight Cowboy = glitterati and an unholy mess to apply. Not a fan.
Recommendation:
If you have a lot of dupes of these colors, you probably don't need this, but for someone new to makeup or in need of a palette with lots of variety, this is perfect for the price.
Grade:
