Urban Decay Kristen Leanne Collection
Urban Decay Kristen Leanne Collection Review + Demo
Today I’ve got the Urban Decay Kristen Leanne Collection demo with all eyeshadows, highlighter palette, and lipsticks. I created 3 different eyeshadow looks using every single eyeshadow shade in both the Kaleidoscope and Daydream palettes. I used the Beauty Beam highlighter palette, and all three lipsticks, Bun Bun, Cloud 9 and Spellbound. I also swatched dupes of the eyeshadows, lipsticks and highlighters for you. I love this collection and I’m really impressed with it!

Urban Decay Kristen Leanne Collection
Urban Decay Kristen Leanne Collection Beauty Beam Palette
From left to right you have a rose gold pearl, white gold pearl and warm golden pearl.
As you can see, Sin is similar but not as white-based as the white gold pearl in Beauty Beam.
Urban Decay Kristen Leanne Collection Vice Lipsticks
From left to right we have Spellbound, Cloud 9 and Bun Bun.
The top row is Bun Bun, Cloud 9 and Spellbound. The bottom row is Fuel and Pandemonium.
Bun Bun and Cloud 9 have a creamy, pigmented formula with no drag. Spellbound is stiff and patchy. I have no problems working with Spellbound because I line and fill in my lips fully with Urban Decay Hex pencil before I apply it.
Urban Decay Kristen Leanne Collection Kaleidoscope Palette
- SPITFIRE (bright pink satin with purple shift)
- STAY GOLD (metallic yellow-gold)
- TAJIN (orange matte)
- LCW (metallic teal blue)
- TRM (metallic deep navy blue)

- LIME TIME (metallic neon green)
- 13TH FLOOR (black matte)
- DYE (violet satin)
- CORONA (metallic soft bronze with gold shimmer)
The amount of product you get per color is all over the place. Leo + Brixton, Stay Gold are .05 oz each. Spitfire and Tajin are .02 oz each. LCW, TRM, Dye and Corona are .04 each. 13th Floor is .03 oz. Lime Time is .01 oz.
Urban Decay Kristen Leanne Collection Daydream Palette
- LUCY (ivory matte)
- DAYDREAM (soft nude matte)
- 12/12 (soft peach matte)
- SUBSCRIBE (warm nude matte)
- EIGHT (rich warm brown matte)
The amount of product you get per eyeshadow in this palette is surprisingly small, it’s .02 oz each.
Urban Decay Kaleidoscope and Daydream Swatches
Top Row – Lucy, Daydream, Tajin, Corona, LCW, Spitfore, Lime Time, Brixton
Bottom Row – Eight, Subscribe, 12/12, Stay Gold, TRM, Dye, 13th Floor, Leo
Urban Decay Kaleidoscope Palette Dupes
Top Row is Tajin, Exu (Basquiat Tenant), Lime Time, Haight (single), LCW, Smog (single), Corona, 1985 (single), Spitfire
Bottom Row is Spike (single), Jealous (Wizard of Oz), Leo, Untitled (Basquiat Tenant) & Evidence (single), TRM, Honey & Blitz (single), Stay Gold, Urban (Electric), Dye.
I feel like Exu and Lime Time are like 95% similar. I think Tajin and Spike are around 97% similar. Haight isn’t as deep or rich as LCW. Smog is lacking the complexities of Corona. 1985 is deeper and less shift than Spitfire. Jealous and Leo are really nothing alike. Untitled is a different finish than TRM, while Evidence is too dark. I thought Honey was going to match Stay Gold but it’s not quite right and Blitz isn’t either. Urban is lighter than Dye.

Urban Decay Kristen Leanne Collection Review + Demo Video
In the video I run through the swatches, I demo three different eyeshadow looks with the palette, showing the pigmentation and blendability. You can see how I apply the cheek palette and how each of the lipsticks look on pale skin. I also give my full review in the video, so please watch it and let me know what you think!
The Kaleidoscope palette is $39, the Daydream palette is $26, the Beauty Beam palette is $34, and the Vice lipsticks are $17. The 3 exclusive items for UD’s website are the Liquid Lipstick Duo $29, the Pulse Liquid Lipstick $18, and S.G.H. eyeshadow single $19.
The collection will be available at Sephora and Ulta. It’s already launched on UrbanDecay.com.

This is such a great review! thanks for sharing. I really love how colorful this collection is.
I want Cloud 9 Lipstick and Kaleidoscope palette!
This was crazy fast, thank you for bringing us awesome content Courtney! You made me like this release a bit more than in the pans but I’ll still pass on this one. Thank you!
The pigmentation looks really good on your YT video, wow, beautiful colors.
The eyeshadow swatches look amazing! Thanks, as always, for showing dupes. I’m marking the video to watch later today.
I wasn’t too tempted by this collection until I watched your demo. The layout of the Kaleidoscope palette makes my eye twitch a little. ? I’m guessing the palette name is meant to evoke a shifting sort of jumble, which is what I think of when I look at the layout. That pigmentation, though! Prettiest and richest purple ever! Loved all three looks!
Wow, you made these products WORK! You look gorgeous! I guess the packaging belies the products’ delivery!
I wish I could be more excited about this set, because I think Kristen Leanne is adorable! But it just leaves me with a “meh”. The thing I like best is the outside of the palette…
