So, Urban Decay's Vice Palette's are straight out my favourite palettes (discounting the Inglot ones, as I put those together myself). The packaging is always stylish as all hell, the colours are incredible and the shadow's formula is delightful. Nevermind the good mix of textures and tones, so you can create loads of great looks with this one palette.
When I first moved to London I discovered that the department stores sold Urban Decay and I needed to buy some of their products, anything. With my student loan in my pocket I decided to buy Vice 2. I love that palette dearly and completely, but I felt like getting Vice 3 would be an unnecessary indulgence; my brother and sister in law got it for me for Christmas last year. Again, loved dearly. This time round I'm a working woman, so I bought Vice 4 with very little guilt and my playing has just begun.
This is the box; I'm totally digging the shattered glass theme.
Vice 3 also came in a cute zip bag. Now I just need to figure out what to use this for...
The actual palette. It is a little fragile, the top design being a plastic frame. The photo doesn't do justice to the oil-slick-rainbow colours on the design.
Like the other Vice palettes, 4 has a large mirror on an actual hinge so it stands on its own. Thus, this palette would be great to travel with.
And now the box of gems that is that actual shadows. I feel like taking this palette out for a nice dinner and some cocktails afterwards. Hot damn. Again, there is a good mix of textures and tones.
Bones is a pale, shimmery taupe-ish shade.
I think this shade would look lovely in the inner corners of the eyes.
Framed is a warm, beige satin (a matte with a slight glitter running through it to make it smoother to use and easier to blend - it basically functions as a matte).
This is a good shade to blend out the crease or use on the lid for a more neutral look.
Discreet is a cool toned, satin taupe.
I would use this either in the inner corners or on the lid.
Bitter is one of my favourite shades in the entire palette. I'd say this is a true matte. It is an incredibly warm red-toned brown.
I'm all about using this in the crease.
Grip is a stunning, silvery shimmer. I think this shade is quite original and I love it.
I'm thinking about using this on the lid for a bit of a festive feel.
Fast-Ball is a duo-chrome pink shimmer. It has a beautiful gold shift to it.
This is a lid colour (and a beautiful one at that). This is a pink I will happily use.
And Grasshopper, one of the show-stoppers of the palette, I'd say. A beautiful, shimmery emerald.
I think I'll be using this colour over Nyx's Milk to fully utilise it's potential.
Another of the show-stoppers; Flame. A very apt name, I feel. A shimmery red with a gold shimmer. So Pretty.
Again, I'll be wanting to use a creamy pencil as a base for this colour, because I want it to POP.
Deadbeat. A Black with blue and green glitter throughout. I always fall in love with these shades in the palette and feel they never quite live up to that on the lid.
This swatch shows quite a bit of the glitter, so I have some hope. I'd use this on the lid, the crease and under the lower lashes.
1985 is a purple with a blue duo-chrome, which is one of the fastest ways into my heart. The purple is very warm, making this colour even more stunning.
I'm so excited to use this as a lid colour.
C-Note is a super shimmery, pale green.
Another gorgeous lid colour.
Low is a dark, shimmery taupe.
This will make a great neutral lid colour with a bit of a kick.
Beat Down is a beautiful shimmery navy, which is another of my favourite eye shadow shades.
This screams raven wings, and that excites me.
Underhand is a mauve with a cold toned shimmer.
This is another quite individual shade and I love it.
Arctic is a pale, shimmery turquoise.
Another great lid colour.
Crowbar is a shimmery old gold.
I love shades like this, gives a bit of an edge to a typical gold smoky eye.
Pandemonium is a dark, shimmery purple.
This will be a perfect shade to use for a smoky eye.
Harlot is a pale, shimmery mauve.
This is much colder than Underhand and thus they will compliment each other nicely.
Robbery is another shimmery Taupe, being a shade in between Bones and Low.
Another great neutral shade to use on the lid.
And finally Delete, a lovely, warm, dark brown satin.
I will be using this shade to darken the crease and underneath the lower lashes.
Here is a quick look I did with some of the shadows in this palette. I used Bitter and Delete in the crease and under the lower lashes, Deadbeat and Flame on the lid and Bones in the inner corner.
I am so excited to play more with this palette, you have no idea.
