Urban Decay Vice 3 Palette Review

Hey everyone!  Today I've got the Holy Grail (IMHO) of eyeshadow palettes!  The Urban Decay Vice 3!  I have been waiting all year for this to come out, and I am so excited to show it to you.

I am super impressed with the packaging. It's very slim (slimmer than the previous Vice palettes), and it has a metallic striped pattern on the front, topped off with a neon-green, jeweled "Vice" icon.

It also comes with this really cute bag.  The palette fits inside it perfectly for protection, or you can just use it a a makeup bag for other brushes or makeup essentials.

I love the colors this year (20 NEVER BEFORE SEEN!), and I feel it has a good mix of shimmers and matte colors.  They are arranged in columns.  On the far left you have your nudes, the middle columns are jewel toned colors, and the far right is made up of smokey colors.  It also includes a double ended makeup brush.  One side is a flat eyeshadow brush,and the other is a fluffy blending brush.

I'll be showing you swatches starting with the left column and going down.  All swatch pictures were taken with and without a flash.

Let's get started!

I love this palette!  I think it's a great mix of colors, and it will be a lot of fun to play with!  I can't wait to see what looks I can come up with.  I'll be doing tutorials on each column, so you can see how they all work together. 

Vice 3 retails for $60.00 which is a really great deal!  That comes out to just $3.00 per eyeshadow.  Individual Urban Decay shadows are $18.00 each, so this is a great deal! You can purchase this on UrbanDecay.com, or in store or online at Ulta or Sephora. 

I hope y'all enjoyed this review!  Let me know what you think in the comments!  

Until next time!
