When Urban Decay kindly sent me their new limited edition Vice Junkie Lipstick Palette to review, I was a teeny bit sceptical about it.
First off, the packaging. It's beautiful. It's so simple, elegant and sophisticated at the same time as being edgy. It has a plastic 'sheet' that says 'Lipstick Is My Vice' (true) which makes it feel a little bit arty and more expensive than it actually is (£31.50 at House Of Fraser).
A few of the colours are really 'not me' but in the interest of trying new things, I gave them a go and tried to have an open mind.
As with all of Urban Decay's products, the formula is amazing. I'm a big fan of their lipsticks in general and this palette continued to impress me.
Each lipstick is creamy and glides onto the lips easily with a really great color pay off. In terms of finish, some have a creamsheen finish, others have a semi matte finish or a metallic finish.
Right from the get go, I was most sceptical about Junkie (a metalllic green), Vanity Kills (a lilac) and Studded (a metallic neutral brown with fine silver glitter) and I was right, none of them worked for me but on the flip side to that, Disturbed, Wrath, Carnal and Speedball are on my list to buy in full size versions. I love how creamy and pigmented all of the shades are and this palette covers every skin color under the sun. There's something there for everyone.
This is limited edition so you'll need to move quickly if you want to find it at the original price.
This is available at House Of Fraser amongst others.
