Vice Palette by Urban Decay

The Vice Palette is one of the newest palettes by UD and I am extremely excited to be doing a post about it. At times I am hesitant to buy new UD palettes because they always have atleast a few eyeshadows from an old palette included in their new palette; however, the vice palette has ALL brand new, never before seen by UD eyeshadows! This is one of the main reasons I am so excited about this product, because I know I will not have any of these eyeshadows in my collection already. The eyeshadows in this palette also include a few matte shades; UD tends to do a lot of shimmery and glittery eyeshadows, which I do love, but it is nice to see them doing a few matte shades and working with different textures in this collection.

Another exciting thing about this palette is how there are many vibrant and colorful shades. I have the UD Naked 2 palette and even though it is one of my most adored paletts, the shadows are all on the neutral side, so the Vice palette is awesome for those who enjoy using more colorful eyeshadows. However, it does include a few neutral shades (last row) which are extremely useful for blending out the more colorful eyeshadows within this palette.

I personally really love UD eyeshadows because they have such a creamy texture and are always extremely pigmented; I am sure that the eyeshadows that come in the Vice palette will be no different.

Another great thing about this palette is the full size, good quality mirror it comes with and its ability to stay up on its own. This is great if you want to do your makeup looking straight ahead at yourself, because you just need to put the palette down on a table and there is no need to hold it up. For example, the UD Naked 1 has a mirror but if you dont hold it up it lays flat on the table. I found this to be pretty useless because you loose a hand holding the mirror that you could be using to do your makeup. Thus, the Vice palette seems to have improved on this point. Vice also comes with a double ended brush that is very similiar to the brush that comes with the Naked 2 palette; it is an awesome brush to use when doing your makeup. I especially love the blending side of the brush because the bristles are very compact, making it easy to get a very precise blend.

The palette is priced at $68.00 CAD and it comes with 20 x 0.03 oz eyeshadows; thus, it comes down to about $3.40 per eyeshadow. Wonderful! The shadows are: Desperation (greyish taupe brown matte-satin), Muse (dark reddish brown w/golden and multidimensional shimmer), Jagged (matte black base w/gold metallic), Blitz (bright gold metallic), Penny Lane (bronze metallic w/gold glitter), Junkie (dark green-blue w/gold shimmer), Chaos (vibrant royal blue w/very subtle shimmer), Unhinged (electric turquoise blue metallic), Occupy (dark grey-blue metallic), Black Market (dark charcoal black matte-satin), Provocateur (light greyish pink w/lots of multidimensional glitter), Rapture (dark greyish purple w/multidimensional shimmer), Vice (dark eggplant w/subtle red shimmer), Noise (dark reddish-pink metallic w/big gold glitter), Armor (greyish brown metallic w/silver micro-glitter), Nevermind (light taupey-brown shimmer), Echo Beach (light wheat-champagne shimmer), Anonymous (light whitish-pink nude matte), Freebird (light peachy-pink w/silver micro-glitter) and Laced (pinky-taupe matte).

Here is a picture of the Vice palette:


The UD website says the following:

If eyeshadow is your vice, the Vice Palette is your fix. Loaded with 20 never-before-seen shades you won’t find anywhere else, this insanely gorgeous palette is ALL about eyeshadow. With a mix of mattes, satins, shimmers, neutrals and brights, the range of shades is unreal—from breathtaking gold to shimmery green to jet-black satin. Plus, each Eyeshadow features our brand new Pigment Infusion System™, the proprietary blend of ingredients that gives every shade its velvety texture, rich color, serious staying power and blendability.

All that eye candy comes in a sleek purple soft-touch case topped with a jeweled UD icon. With the push of a button, the slow-opening lid dramatically reveals all 20 shades, plus a large mirror and a double-ended Good Karma Shadow and Crease Brush. Shadow junkies, prepare to get addicted.


I will do a full review and swatches when I get this in the mail sometime next week!
