So after buying the naked palette and loving it(see my Urban decay naked palette review post) i went out the following week and brought this urban decay NYC book of shadows volume III . This palette is packed with super hot eyeshadows, 16 in total(Bordello, Suspect, Money, Radium, Haight, Snatch, Psychadelic sister, Maui Wowie, Rockstar, Midnight cowboy Rides again, Uzi, Perversion, Last call ,kush ,Smog, loaded).
The beautifully NYC themed book of shadow includes a ribbon drawer that you pull out to reveal 16 eyeshadows, 2 travel sized 24/7 glide on eye pencils in zero and ransom and an small eyeshadow primer potion. Being a new lover of urban decay eyeshadows, I thought that this palette was too daring for me, but when I brought it home I felt comfortable with the shades, as you can easily tone down the intensity of the colours.
I do warn anyone who isn't really into shimmery and/or glittery eyeshadows, that this palette is basically a glitter explosion. I think pervision is the only matt shade in there ,and so is best avoided if you prefer matt shades. The top half of the box also opens up to reveal a pop up display in front of the mirror which actually lights up with little LEDs lights to create the NYC scene.
Here are some pictures of the palette enjoy!

I recommend this palette if your love bright vibrant colours, its a good selection of eyeshadows with amazing quality.
Good points: 16 eyeshadows, 2 pencils and potion, thats A lot of products in one, so the price is great.
Bad Points: The colours like Radium, Kush and Psychedelic sister are very bright and eye popping, so it will take a lot of thinking as to how,when and where to wear them.
F.I.P points: 6/10
Urban Decay NYC Book of Shadows Vol. III cost £30.
