UD Ammo Palette vs B.O.S. Vol 3 (Palettes reviews and comparison)

Which one do you prefer?? Ammo? Book of Shadows Vol. 3?? I'll show you the pros and cons that I've found in both palletes!!

The Ammo Shadow Box


$36 at Sephora and $39 at Ulta, but in Ulta it includes a full size Eden UDPP
Swatches:
Using normal UDPP as a base
Pros:
  • Sleek packaging
  • Variety of colors for natural and dramatic looks
  • Smooth consistency
  • Easy to apply and blend
  • Nice sized mirror
Cons:
  • 5 of the 10 shadows have giagantic glitter
  • Some colors are really similar (if it has just a few shadows I think it will be better to have more variety of colors)
Overall Grade:
8 out of 10

PPS (Price Per Shadow): $3.60

I would purchase this again


UD <3 NYC or Book Of Shadows Vol. 3

$54 at Sephora
Swatches
Using UDPP as a base


Pros:
  • Includes eyeliners and UDPP
  • More variety of colors
  • Cute packaging
  • Great quality of shadows
  • Awesome bright colors
  • Smooth to apply
  • Easy to blend
Cons:
  • Huge, bulky packaging
  • Not the ideal palette to use while traveling
  • Tiny mirror
Overall grade
8 out of 10

Price Per Item: $2.86

I don't think I'll buy this again


Quick comparison:
  • The Ammo palette is easier to take with you
  • NYC gives you more shades to achieve many types of looks
  • Some shades are in both palettes (Smog, Last Call, Maui Wowie)
  • Both are perfect as a gift

So, here are my thoughts is both palettes... Hope this is helpful to all of you!!
