Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette Swatches

Guess who got her hands on the Vice 2 palette (no, not the Blair Witch. Although I have been called worse).

Since I missed out on last year’s Vice palette, I decided to just go ahead and splurge on this one.

I normally don’t care about packaging, but I must say UD did a great job with the design of the box.

See the pretty purple case?

My thoughts: I have not used these in any looks yet, but overall the shadows swatched decently on my arm. Many were powdery and created some fallout, but I felt it was manageable. Smokeout and Lovesick were the most problematic. They were sheer and patchy. I had to swipe color onto my arm perhaps four times in order to build up opacity. The other one that was somewhat sheer was Radar, but it was easier to work with and seemed manageable. Habit was the only one that swatched perfectly: heavily pigmented and applied smoothly.
