I don't own any of the other Vice palettes so I can't compare them, but I love the packaging and the color range in this one!

The majority of these shades are very pigmented and buttery smooth, but some colors look best over a primer and 2 of them have a gritty and crumbly formula.

If you dislike glitters, please note that this palette only contain 11 shades that have a matte or shimmery finish. 2 shades have a very sparkly finish with no glitters, which means that the 7 other colors contain glitters. That being said, only 2 of these glittery eyeshadows (Low and Crowbar) are very chunky and loaded with glitters. You will need to apply these 2 eyeshadows with your fingers and over a good primer.

Bones is a light shimmery grey with a subtle pinky beige sheen. Grip is a light grey with silver micro glitters. Deadbeat is a dark grey with silver micro glitters. Beat Down is a indigo with a subtle purple undertone, the finish is shimmery but not glittery. (Try Beat Down on top of 1985, you will thank me later!) Pandemonium is a purple with a very sparkly finish and micro glitters.

Discreet is a very light lavender with a matte finish. (I like to use this one to tone down the orangey undertones in Bitter!) Grasshopper is a bright green with a sparkly finish. C-Note is a greyish blue with warm undertones and a sparkly finish. Arctic is a bright shimmery turquoise with silver micro glitters. Robbery is a medium taupe with an olive-grey sheen, the finish is frosty.

Bitter is an orangey brown with a matte finish. Flame is a golden peachy pink with a very sparkly finish. Low is a glittery grey brown, the formula is very chunky. Crowbar is an greenish brown with a generous amount of glitters, the formula is chunky. Delete is a medium brown with a satin finish. (Delete is pretty much matte though)

This palette contain $235 CAD worth of eyeshadow, so even if you don't like a few shades I think it's still a great value! You can only buy 3 full-sized Urban Decay eyeshadows for the same amount of money, and here you get 20 different shades to play with! Each eyeshadow is 0.8g and a full-size UD eyeshadow is 1.5g, basically you get 14 extra shades for the same price. Please note that it comes with a makeup pouch and a double-ended shadow/crease brush too!
