The Urban Decay and Jean-Michel Basquiat Collection has recently gone on sale on Sephora and I picked up everything except for the bright green eyeliner (called Post Punk) as I feel I would not use this shade regularly and the lipstick in the shade Abstract as I feel it would be too light a color for my pale skin. With that being said, lets get into some swatches!!
Swatches
Swatches from the Gold Griot Eyeshadow Palette.
Swatches from the Tenant Eyeshadow Palette.
Swatches from the eye liners, lipsticks, and blush palette.
The top two swatches are the 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil (in Vivid and Anatomy), the next two are the lipstick swatches (in Epigram and Exhibition), and finally swatches from the Gallery Blush Palette.

Review
First of all, one feature I loved about the eye shadow palettes and the cheek palette, not related to quality of the shades, is that there is a spot on the back so that you can hang these palettes on your wall since they are also pieces of art. For me I love these little details that just make a product more unique, and if you are a big makeup lover or collector I think it would be kind of neat to have a piece of art/palette on your wall.
Now for a review of the actual products them self, I will start off with the lipsticks since I am obsessed with lipstick and I loved both of these lipsticks for their formulas and colours. The shade Epigram in the Cream formula went on so nice and smooth and well creamy and the shade Exhibition in the Comfort Matte formula was just that, a comfortable matte, the names don't lie! In terms of the shades, I always like a good nude/brown colour and I was actually surprised as to how much I loved the shade Exhibition as I normally do not go for a brighter lip. Next, I also loved both shades of the 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil that I purchase. They both applied so nice and smoothly, the only issue I had with them was when applying Vivid in my waterline for the third look I had to work with it quite a bit to get it really pigmented. So if you tend to have more of a wet waterline I would look for a different liner if that is where you were planning on putting it. Overall, I have really nothing bad to say about the Gallery Blush Palette, I really loved the highlighter and all the shades blended out beautifully. Finally, I loved both of the eyeshadow palettes. If you are not one for bright colours I would not recommend the Tenant palette, but it did bring out a more creative side of me. In addition, the shades are very very pigmented, which is great, but if you are new to eyeshadows you will need to do a lot of blending to make it look nice. Overall though, this whole collection is absolutely beautiful and I would recommend any item from the collection to anyone!
Thank you all for viewing my post and I will have another one up soon!!
