I have this in the wallpaper shadow palette. It's a pretty color, but like many of the other comments...the glitter ruins this shadow. I can't imagine anyone over the age of 18 wearing this...unless you work at a club or part of costume makeup. This eyeshadow has actual large chunks of glitter...not a light shimmer or hint of glitter.
I love normally love Urban Decay, but this is way too glittery. I feel like I took a time machine back to the late 90's. If I were 10 or 12 years younger this would be a staple. Its almost pure glitter, with a bit of silver eyeshadow. Even with UDPP there way too much fallout. I have to keep wiping under my eyes the remove the glitter. Basically it makes your lids look like a disco ball. About all I can see this good for is drag, and clubbing.
Ok, I have wanted to try an Urban Decay shadow for awhile now and I swapped for this one after hearing such good things about Uzi and the gunmetal collection. ACK! I am soooooooo glad I didn't waste good money ordering off the net for this one. It was like one big glitter block. It was everywhere; hands, face, in my eyes etc. I was surprised at the color pay off too. There isn't one. At least not a good one. Not even foiled. Not for me anyways. I just don't see what the big deal is with this. AND I am a bit wary of trying another ud shadow now.
This was part of the Sustainable Shadow Box. I would never buy this alone. Like many previous reviewers before me, this is a super chunky silver glitter and white eye shadow. In my opinion, chunky craft glitter cosmetics are only good for costume makeup (clubbing, halloween, acting in a play, maybe a trip to vegas). I don't think I'd ever use this color again, unless it's for one of those above reasons i've mentioned. It would be a nice e/s if the glitter stays put. Perhaps using eyelash glue might help, but then it may feel weird on your eyes....
This shadow came in a palette I bought at Sephora about a week ago. It looks so pretty, I thought I would really like it. So I applied yesterday morning, usual routine. Primer, eyeshadow, fluidline, and I'm off to class. Well... After my first class, I happened to visit the ladies room. What did I see as I was washing my hands? Glitter gravitating onto my cheekbones. Not attractive. There is a time and place for glitter actually on my face, and it isn't at 8:30 in the morning between my Women's studies, and Tudor-Stuart History classes. Even with primer the glitter flaked off all over my face! I was shocked. This is such a lovely shade, I really wanted it to work out. I'm saving this stuff for Halloween.
This is my favorite shadow from UD. It's a shimmery silver with silver glitter in it. It's not for you if you hate glitter though. I love the way it looks against my eyes, I have pale skin and blue/green eyes and the shimmery silver just works well. I don't see a problem with the glitter, if any access falls, I just swipe away quickly with a brush. I just think this is their prettiest shade and it goes with everything.

I really don't know what everyones problem is with this eyeshadow.I love everything about it!It is a very light silver with lots of glitter.I can use it for so many looks.I like using it on my eyelids and brow bown and than lining my upper lashers with black eyeliner winged out at the adges.It's great to use alone or with other colors.I have never seen another color even come CLOSE to this one and I hope Urban Decay never stops making this eyeshadow!
I hate this eyeshadow, after two applications it was impossible to get anything out of it. When I wore it I had glitter allover. It didn't turn out silver on my eyelids either. Just powdery and white. Yack.
I really wanted to like Uzi...especially since I found the name cool ;p but, alas, I cannot. The humongous glitter flakes always fall over my face even if I use a primer. Plus the color itself is kind of boring, a dull white-ish pewter. Bleh.

I usually ADORE Urban Decay eye shadows but Uzi isn't really my cup of tea. The best way I can describe this shade would be to say it's "a mass of big silver sparkles". I got mine in swap w/out seeing Uzi in person otherwise I probably wouldn't have known of its existence either. No need to write that I don't reach for this particular color very often and right now I'm pondering to give it away to a friend of mine. Really hope my Uzi could find a better home!
