Urban Decay Vice 2, $59 at Sephora
This palette is full of pretty shadow shades! I got the original Vice Palette last year and liked it. I’ve had the Vice 2 since September I think and I will tell you that I like this better than the original!
Let’s take a look at the swatches. I did these swatches without primer. Please feel free to click on a picture to make it larger!
Smokeout, Lovesick, Shellshock, Coax, and X-rated
Prank, Madness, Strike, Stash, and Poison
Radar, Damaged, Voodoo, Betrayal, and Derailed
Dope, Toxic, Habit, Ambush, and Rewind
Overall this is a very nice palette. I love a lot of the shades. Nobody does amazing green, blue, and purple shadow shades like Urban Decay! The only disappointing shades to me were X-Rated its a bit chalky and Stash because its a little on the chunky side and gave me some serious fallout under my eyes. There are a few shades that aren’t my thing like Betrayal and Dope but I can’t really say anything bad about them payoff or performance wise. They just aren’t my type of shadow shades.
The best in my opinion are Smokeout, Damaged, Ambush, Radar, and Derailed. Habit and Rewind are nice matte editions to the palette and really usable. I do wish there were more matte shadows in this palette. If you want a lot of shadow in one place check out the Vice 2!
