If you’re into mixing up your lipstick colors because customizing is what you’re good at then you’re going to need both of the Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Palettes in your life. Particularly if you don’t want to buy all of these shades separately.

Two palettes will be released in the Holiday 2016 Collection and both palettes are housed in a metallic gunmetal case accented with gold. When you open it up there’s a huge mirror and a hinged cover that states “lipstick is my vice”. When you open up the cover you’ll see 12 lip colors sitting in their own individual “well” designed with a special stair-step effect that is perfect for wiping excess lipstick off of the brush. This also keeps the lipstick inside the compartment instead of all over the palette, which I can appreciate because my biggest pet peeve with lip palettes is how the shades mix and get everywhere, eventually looking gross. In addition to the 12 lip colors you’ll also get a small lip brush.

Urban Decay Blackmail Vice Lipstick Palette will be available at ULTA Beauty, select Macy’s stores and urbandecay.com. The 12 shades are:

• Sheer Shame // berry, sheer
• Firebird // deep fuchsia, cream
• Big Bang // bright pink sparkle, metallized
• Disobedient // medium pink, cream
• EZ // bright red-orange, cream
• 714 // bright red, mega matte
• Vanished // pale neutral nude, sheer
• 1993 // medium brown, comfort matte
• Ex-Girlfriend // nude-rose with pink shimmer, sheer shimmer
• Amulet // metallic brick rose, metallized
• Conspiracy // plum-bronze shimmer, metallized
• Blackmail // deep berry wine, comfort matte

Urban Decay Junkie Vice Lipstick Palette will be available exclusively at Sephora. The 12 shades are:

• Disturbed // deep brick red, comfort matte
• 714 // bright red, mega matte
• Carnal // medium warm nude, comfort matte
• Safe Word // neutral nude pink, comfort matte
• Studded // metallic gray-brown, metallized
• Whip // soft pink with gold iridescent shimmer, sheer shimmer
• Wrath // metallic red, metallized
• Big Bang // bright pink sparkle, metallized
• Firebird // deep fuchsia, cream
• Vanity Kills // lavender, mega matte
• Speedball // deep vibrant purple, cream
• Junkie // metallic green shimmer with gold micro-sparkle, metallized

To access the lip brush you simply slide the top down and a small door opens on top which enables the brush to push out. It’s a fun, practical little gadget and perfect for the palette.

I found the formulas to be on track with the Vice Lipsticks I’ve tried in full size form (which don’t match up 100% shade wise but I’ve tried all the different formulas themselves) and I love the idea of so many shades in one place. It makes everything very handy for travel, if you’re doing makeup or just like to mix and match your shades to customize things. I’m a very vocal non-lover of lip palettes in general but this one doesn’t seem to get as messy as the other ones and as far as that goes the layout and packaging make this a real winner. 714, Big Bag & Firebird are the only shades that repeat in both palettes.

Are you more Blackmail or more Junkie? Even though it has a bit more wild of a color palette I think I’m Team Junkie!

The Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Palettes retail for $35.00 each. Blackmail is available at ULTA Beauty, select Macy’s stores and urbandecay.com while Junkie is available exclusively at Sephora.
