Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette

I'm doing this via mobile as for some stupid reason my lappy won't allow me to upload any pics onto my blog which for this post would be an absolute disaster. Please excuse the lack of formatting, I'm pretty new to the blogging app.

Anyway moving swiftly on, I have an exciting new purchase to share with you. I heard about this palette coming out and was SO excited by it as the previews I had seen made it look amazing. I fell in love as soon as I saw the Vice 2 Palette and saw it as an investment and bought it home.

The packaging of the palette is to die for, rocking the strong Urban Decay amethyst purple and a bold silver logo. I'm told that every palette is individual and no two cases are the same which is pretty cool.

Open it up and look inside and you are met with an array of gorgeous and brand new colours, making it essential to any UD collector. You can create any look with this, whether it be a bold colourful eye or a simple muted smokey affair.

I love every single one of the colours and every shade you could possibly need is there. My personal favourites are Shellshock, which is this amazing reflective bright silver colour, and Toxic, an orangey-pink shade with a shimmer.

I had to have a play straight away so I did three eye looks to try and test out as many colours as possible.

This is my first look. I wanted to go for a simple quick easy goldy brown eye. For this, I primed my eye with UD Eden eye primer and used Dope as a base all over the lid up to the brow bone. I then used Toxic on the lid, leaving a small amount of Dope visible on the inner corner. I added Ambush in the centre of the lid and blended this out into the Toxic. In the crease I used Radar and then smoked out with, you guessed it, Smokeout, and then used Smokeout again on the lower lash line. I lined my eyes with MAC Blacktrack gel liner and added Eldora H142 lashes and some MAC False Lashes mascara.

My second eye look was a complete contrast colour-wise to my first. I wanted to use the greens and blues in the palette together, as these are also the colours in my eyes so I thought it would compliment them.

I primed my eyes as before with UD Eden and then used Habit as my base colour. I blended Stash on top all over the lid. I used Poison on the outer corner and half of the lid, blending it right out to make a wing. I used Madness in the crease and Damaged and Strike in the inner corner. Smokeout was used on the lower lash line with Damaged and a tiny bit was also blended into the wing. I lined my eyes as before with Blacktrack and added Eldora H140 lashes, my absolute favourites. My brow highlight is MAC Retrospeck as well as again using False Lashes mascara.

I love a good girly eye look so my last one is pinks and purples. I primed my eyes in the same way as before and highlighted my brow with Retrospeck by MAC. My base colour this time was Rewind which I blended into my crease. I the applied X-Rated all over the lid blending it in with Rewind. Coax was then used on 3/4 of the lid from the outer corned in. Betrayal was used in the crease and Voodoo along the upper and lower lash lines. Shellshock was used in the tear duct and inner corner. I lined my eyes and used MAC lashes although I have no idea which number because I bought them in Spain. I completed the eye with mascara.

Here is the two eyes together to compare the colours.

I am totally in love with this palette. I love the selection of colours and the way that the shadows blend so easily. It isn't cheap, but I would definitely say that it's worth the money. Consider it an investment!
