Urban Decay Vice 3 Palette Review and Swatches

MY FIRST POST!!!: Urban Decay Vice 3 Review & Swatches :)

Hi!! I am super excited to be writing my very first post here! & It is even more exciting because it is a makeup palette review + swatches (ooooooo) 

I know before I buy a palette, I always do my "research" so I hope this helps someone make the decision of whether or not to buy this new UD eyeshadow palette.

I am OBSSESED with Urban Decay but I have never gotten one of their vice palettes. The second I saw a pic of this palette online, I knew i just HAD to get it! 

I got mine from Sephora and it retails for $60. It contains 20 new and limited edition shades so I think it is a great value considering each eyeshadow individually is $18.

If you are someone who normally only wears neutral eyeshadows and want to branch out subtly to some colors, these shades are perfect. I would describe the colors as jewel tones. They are wearable and not flashy at all. There are also 3 rows of neutral colors (more than colors). I was also very happy to see that this palette has matte shades as well. 

It comes in a pouch the same size as the palette that it can be stored in. It is an added bonus because you can use it for anything else, not just this palette. Although, I think it is a good idea to keep the palette safe in the pouch. 
 The palette itself is mirrored with the "vice" written in green jeweled 3d. It is prone to fingerprints so that is my own problem with the packaging.
It also comes with a double sided brush and mirror that is the whole size of the palette





The shades are: (described by UD)
  • Truth- pale pink nude matte
  • Dragon- bright metallic green shimmer
  • Vanity- smoky metallic eggplant w/multidimensional micro glitter
  • Alien- pink peach w/golden shift
  • Last Sin champagne shimmer w/silver micro glitter
  • Undone- pink beige matte/satin w/subtle floating tonal pearl
  • Freeze- metallic medium blue w/multidimensional micro glitter
  • Lucky- metallic bronze
  • Alchemy- deep fuchsia satin
  • Angel- light taupe w/silver micro glitter
  • Downfall- warm light brown matte
  • Heroine- deep navy blue w/subtle floating tonal pearl
  • Reign-rich brown satin
  • Bondage- deep smoky burgundy shimmer
  • Defy- smoky taupe satin
  • DTF- taupe matte w/subtle floating pearl
  • Brokedown- metallic golden brown shimmer w/gold micro glitter
  • Bobby Dazzle- metallic white w/pale gold micro glitter
  • Sonic- metallic red copper
  • Revolver- soft black satin w/subtle floating iridescent pearl
