Vice 3 Review

I've been dying to get my hands on this for weeks, but luckily Santa was on the case.

I'm a massive fan of Urban Decay, and already own the Naked 2 palette as well as other bits and pieces. Their eyeshadow is always great quality, and long lasting, and so far this palette is no exception. The other Vice palettes were never really on my radar until this came out, but I've only really just started to like coloured eyeshadow (as well as how to use it without looking like a circus clown) so getting this was really great.

Here we can see all the colours inside (isn't it pretty). There are a large range of tones and shades, and things to suit every skin tone. Personally I'm a massive fan of the purple smoky eye at the moment (purple's kind of my thing, in case you hadn't noticed), so the pink and purple tones in this are perfect for me. 

Sorry for the rubbish quality photos - my camera is dying and my charger is back in Bournemouth

Vanity the purple colour is great, and like all the shades is really buildable so you can get different opacities depending on the amount you apply. I also love Alchemy, the more purple-pink shade, which along with Alien and Vanity create a great look. However two of the stand out shades for me on this side of the palette were Bondage and Sonic. I've really been getting into this grungy 90's red eye look lately and these tones are so perfect for that.

Colours from left to right: Vanity, Lucky, Reign, Bobby Dazzle, Alien, Alchemy, Bondage, Sonic, Last Sin, Angel, Defy and Revolver

Last Sin, and Bobby Dazzle are both excellent highlighter shades, and depending on the look you want to build, a touch of these in the inner corner of your eye will really brighten your eyes and make you look wide awake. Lucky is a really lovely bronze shade, and I don't think I've ever had a metal shade look so much like actual metal. Reign, Angel and Defy are all great brown colours and would be good for a brown smoky eye, or used wet as eyeliner.

Colours from left to right: Truth, Undone, Downfall, DTF, Dragon, Freeze, Heroine and Brokedown.

Now this side of the palette I have less experience with so far (I will add more when I have used them a bit more) The first four make excellent bases for the brighter colour eyeshadows, and are perfect for smoking out harsher lines without effecting the colour too much. Brokedown, much like Lucky is another really nice metallic shade and the gold colour is one of the best I've seen.

In short I love this palette so much. It's seriously making me want to dye my hair back to a 'neutral' colour (Purple hair and green eyeshadow looks a little strange). I think it's sold out at the moment but for anyone who likes brighter colour shades on their eyes or just for a good range of eyeshadow colours, this should be your first stop
