What's Yo Vice?

      Urban Decay has three different Vice palettes, all containing 20 eyeshadows (0.8 grams each). A single full size Urban Decay eyeshadow weighs 1.5 grams and retails for $22 CAD so the palettes are a great value. Not everyone is comfortable wearing bright eyeshadows but the Vice palettes actually each have a lot of neutral colours. 
       I swatched all three palettes here so you can compare. The only one still available is Vice 3 retailing for $70 CAD at Sephora. It comes with a decent quality double-ended synthetic brush and a makeup bag.



VICE 


Top to bottom: Desperation, Muse, Jagged, Blitz, Penny Lane, Junkie, Chaos, Occupy, Unhinged, Black Market, Provocateur, Rapture, Vice, Noise

Vice is no longer available but many similar colours can be found in the permanent eyeshadow line.  A good dupe for Chaos (the bright blue matte in this pallette) is NARS Outremer.

All eyeshadow swatched over Urban Decay Primer Potion :)

Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick 💄

    These lipsticks come in a great variety of colours, the formula on some of the matte colours is a little hard to work with (Cathedral, Lolita and L' Ecole Des Femmes skipped a little on first application). Lasting power is excellent and they have a strong vanilla scent. The product description lists the scent as 'Creme Brûlée' but they smell almost identical to MAC lipsticks to me. Price is a bit hefty at $26 CAD, but many shades are hard to dupe including two of my faves: Lolita & Thin Lizzy. 




Lolita, Cathedral, Thin Lizzy, L'Ecole Des Femmes, Backstage Bambi, Sexer, Lullabye 💘


Lullabye, Bachelorette, Bauhau5, Underage Red, Hexagram, Archangel, Vampira 💋
