Review: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencil Stash (Photos and Swatches)



Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencil Stash includes travel-sized jumbo color eye pencils in Sin (shimmering champagne), Juju (frosted taupe), Rehab (taupe), Delinquent (dark purple with bright purple sparkle), and Clash (bright turquoise with silver sparkle).

  • Sin is a shimmery pink champagne with a frosted sheen finish. It is really similar to Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin (I will do the review on this soon!)
  • Juju is a medium brown taupe with a frosted finish. 
  • Rehab is a medium-dark brown taupe with a frosted finish. This color is really similar to Juju, it is just on the darker side. 
  • Delinquent is a deep purple violet with purple sparkle. Although it is a deep color, the purple is very noticeable as well.
  • Clash is a bright turquoise blue with silver sparkle. Let me warn you, this is probably the brightest color I have ever seen. 
Each of them is nearly full-sized, and one full-sized product costs $20. This pencil stash costs $34, so I definitely think this is a really great value. The texture of it is really creamy, smooth application, and glide on onto your lid easily. However, this does dry up so fast, so if you are planning to blend this out, work one eye at a time because once it dries, it barely can be smudged out. 

The color is so rich, vibrant and pigmented, you just need one stroke to get the true colors, especially with the Clash. Lighter shade like Sin can also get really opaque after two to three strokes. You can use this jumbo pencil in three ways: as a primer to get a long lasting hold, an eyeshadow base to make your eyeshadow pop more, and an eyeliner, perfect for a pop of color on your lower lash line. 

Also, even though you wear it alone on your lid, this won't fade, smudge or crease because it has a waterproof and long wearing formula. So, if you are a morning person who does not have time to put on make-up, you can always glide this pencil onto your lid and you're good to go. Sin is a really perfect shade for brightening the eye to make you look more awake! :) 

Overall, I love these jumbo pencils. They remind me of NYX Jumbo Pencils and MAC Shadesticks (discontinued). However, NYX Jumbo Pencils creases on me like crazy even though I used an eye primer, but do not dry up really fast. MAC Shadesticks do not crease and can be smudge out really well, however, it can dry up on the stick after a while of using. The Urban Decay Shadow Pencil will dry up as well if you do not close the cap tightly. Also, I think this stash is a really great value, so if you always want to try this out, get this stash and you won't be breaking the bank. Again, the full-sized shadow pencil costs $20, so for less than the cost of two full-sized products, you get five nearly full-sized products. 

Where to buy: Urbandecay.com, $34 for 5 x 0.088oz.
