Urban Decay Vice 2 (photos and swatches)

Hello

I have been into LE palettes lately and since I do not have any other UD palette beside the Naked Basics, I decided to order the Vice 2 from Sephora.com .

Taken from Sephora.com

Retails at USD$59. this palette contains:
-0.03 oz x 20 eye shadow in:
Smokeout (dark taupey-black satin),
Lovesick (black matte w/iridescent micro-glitter),
Shellshock (bright metallic silver),
Coax (medium metallic pink w/golden iridescent micro-sparkle),
X-Rated (baby pink satin),
Prank (deep navy matte w/turquoise floating pearl),
Madness (bright metallic blue shimmer w/blue micro-glitter),
Strike (antique gold shimmer w/silver micro-glitter),
Stash (deep olive green shimmer w/iridescent micro-sparkle),
Poison (charcoal satin w/iridescent micro-sparkle),
Radar (metallic brown shimmer w/iridescent micro-glitter),
Damaged (bright metallic emerald shimmer),
Voodoo (metallic purple shimmer w/iridescent purple micro-glitter),
Betrayal (bright purple satin w/blue shift),
Derailed (medium metallic taupey-brown shimmer),
Dope (warm champagne satin),
Toxic (metallic copper-pink shimmer w/tonal micro-glitter),
Habit (light nude matte),
Ambush (metallic brown satin) and
Rewind (medium brown matte)
- Full size double-ended Good Karma Shadow and Crease Brush

Here are the swatches:

 

 

Vice 2 is drenched in a pretty-but-edgy, abstract orchid design that’s applied with a special process—so no two palettes are exactly alike—and topped off with a gunmetal jeweled UD icon. With the touch of a button, the case opens slowly to unveil all those gorgeous shadows, along with an oversized mirror and a double-ended Good Karma Shadow and Crease Brush. 

 

 

I'm in LOVE with this palette. The shades are dramatic and eye-catching! They feel so creamy and soft and swatch amazing! However, this would not be a palette I would travel with just because the packaging is bulky.

 

 

I won't go into more details cause you can just read about it almost everywhere but be sure to keep a look out for my MOTD featuring this palette!

 

 

Thanks for reading!

Monthly Favourites - July 2013

Hello

Time for another monthly favourites. These are products that I reach out often this month. Not much though.

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette
Great for everyday! For more swatches and pictures, check my post here

M.A.C Blush in Pink Swoon
Love this blush. this gives me a rosy flush when I use it lightly. You can definitely build it up for a more intense colour.

Holika Holika Face 2 Change CC cream
My favourite cc cream at the moment. Check out my full review on this cc cream here

M.A.C Lipstick in Crème Cup
My everyday lipstick. When I just want to have that natural coloured lips, I will reach for this.

Clio Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner in No.07 Golden Black
Best black eyeliner that I have so far coz it stays on my waterline the whole day. At the end of the day, I need to use a q-tip to remove it. And the pencil is soft too so it glides on smoothly. I have another 2 colours which I love as well.

Maybelline Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner in Khaki
Instead of applying black, I apply this eyeliner to give it a different look. For review swatches of this eyeliner and the other colours I have, check out my post here
