Urban Decay Vice Metal Meets Matte Lipstick Palette for Holiday 2017

October 18th, 2017 by Karen 10 Comments

That’s a whole lotta Vices…

Is it just me, or is something usually a little off about the lipsticks that come in LE lipstick palettes? Like they feel and work different than they would if they came in a tube? I dunno… Maybe something changes when they pour them into a pan instead of a bullet.

I know that a lot of makeup artists say that applying lipstick with a brush makes your lipstick last longer and look better, and OK, I see a little of that happening, but it’s not enough for me to want to whip out a lip brush every time I put on lipstick.

Except with this one! 🙂 I’ll do it for Urban Decay’s new Vice Metal Meets Matte Lipstick Palette.

Come closer, my pretty…

It’s $35, REALLY GOOD and available now with the 2017 holiday collection.

There are 12 shades of UD Vice Lipstick in it, six of them new and six of them re-promotes from the permanent line, and the Vices, BTW, are basically the ish. They’re crazy creamy, super smooth and come in a fiesta of different finishes.

And hey, now! — the ones in this palette work just as well as the ones in the tubes.

The six in the bottom row don’t have any shimmer or sparkle. They’re all either cream or matte finishes. And the six in the top row are their coordinating, sparklier cousins, i.e. the metallic/glittery versions of the shades in the bottom row.

OK, I still can’t believe how smooth these lipsticks look on my lips. They’re all super pigmented, and none of them look patchy.

Big Bang does look a little dicey sometimes… I don’t think it’s as smooth as the Big Bang that comes in a tube, but it’s the only one. In general the rest of these look lovely and work well. They feel fabulously creamy, don’t settle into my lip lines and don’t dry out my lips.

Also, the brush that comes with them is awesome! — which is weird, because I usually think that the little brushes that come with lip palettes are too small and awkward and never feel quite right. This one is telescopic, though, so it expands, so there’s some length to it, and it feels comfortable in my hand. The brush head is also a good width, and it’s nice and firm, so it applies perfectly.

The new shades are Banger, Fast Talk, Spark, CSB, Tame and Shallow. And the re-promotes are Amulet, Big Bang, Backtalk, Double Team, 714 and Mad.

This is by far the snazziest lip palette I’ve used in a loooong time. And I’m not a lip palette person. At all. But now I kinda am with this palette.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I used to have a NARS lip palette, but all the shades dried down so fast. After that experience I never reached for another one.

    I’ve never tried a lip palette before! This one looks amazing though, might have to pick it up.

    I’m with you on lip palettes and applying lipstick with a brush. I’m too used to lip tubes for most scenarios but this is calling my name anyway. My question is the formula? Are these for sure different than UD’s regular lip formula you think?

    Lots of wearable colors in this palette. I try to avoid lip brushes at all costs. I just find it to be so fussy and then you have to wash them. 🙂

    I hate applying lipstick with a brush, so I hate lip colors in pans. Hate cleaning up yet another brush. Give me a bullet any day. If it’s not in a tube, I don’t bother anymore.

    Fast Talk, CSB, & Tame are all calling out to me. I can’t see myself in the purple shades, though. The most exciting places I go these days are the grocery store and the school pickup line; purple lipstick just seems a bit much, lol.

    I’m that weirdo who actually likes using a lip brush. Mostly because I’m so pale that most shades have to be 100% perfect or the tiniest smudges, etc. stand out like a beacon. Lip brushes, lip liners, and crayon-style lipsticks are my friends.

    I’m just not a fan of lip palettes. I find it so unhygienic and after a while (of usage) it will look totally un-appealing inside! Eow! ? But it seems a good deal to try out different colors of UD Vice lippies.

    I bought the the first two lip palettes and really love them. I just may end up getting this one, too.

    Did you see that UD Is going to be bringing out some mini lip palettes featuring Patrick Nagel’s iconic 80s art images? I’m going to be so over those!

    I prefer lipstick in a tube, but at least this comes with a brush. Most lip palettes don’t include a brush or a mirror which makes me regret buying them. Since this one has both, I’m interested. I just needed to take a peak to see how they perform. Thank you for the swatches and review.

Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
