Really quick swatches of the new Vice LTD! I'm really impressed with the new shades, however there are a couple of the dupes that I'm not loving, the pigmentation just wasn't as good as prior releases and that's quite frustrating.  Goddess seemed to be the most powdery, while other colors like Chase were so smooth and creamy it was beautiful.  Hopefully these will satiate everyone's craving until Urban Decay or Sephora get them back in stock!

Bottom to top: 
Nameless (medium taupe satin)
Backdoor (cool dark brown matte)
Deeper (metallic medium bronze)
Disco (pale metallic gold/iridescent glitter)
Heat (bright metallic copper)
Crystal (icy metallic blue shimmer)
Goddess (deep smoky blue/micro-glitter)
Vaporize (medium metallic gray-taupe)
As I've found with a few of UD's matte shades, they're a tiny bit stiff and dry.  Nothing to deter one from the colors, just not as beautifully workable as some of the other finishes.  The metallic shades are a dream, so soft and creamy.  Disco is nicely pigmented, but it does have pretty large glitter chunks.  

From past palettes, Provocateur has been very prone to fall out.  I feel it's safe to say they've improved on that, it's much smoother and better pigmented than before.  
Crystal (icy metallic blue shimmer)
Goddess (deep smoky blue/micro-glitter)
Vaporize (medium metallic gray-taupe)
Floss (deep metallic emerald/micro-glitter)
Perversion (soft black matte)
Provocateur (icy metallic pink/micro-glitter)
Hoodoo (medium metallic violet/pink shift)
Freakshow (bright purple satin)


I'm really loving Roadstripe, I didn't have it before and the iridescent quality is something to look forward to.  Chase is so pigmented and creamy, it's damn near perfect.  Chase was previously released with the 15 Year Anniversary palette, and I think the new shadow formulation has done the older colors a favor.   
Floss (deep metallic emerald/micro-glitter)
Perversion (soft black matte)
Provocateur (icy metallic pink/micro-glitter)
Hoodoo (medium metallic violet/pink shift)
Freakshow (bright purple satin)
Junkshow (bright pink satin)
Blitz (bright metallic gold)
Chase (soft metallic bronze)
Last Sin (pale champagne shimmer)
Roadstripe (iridescent white/blue-violet shift)
Anonymous (pale peachy cream matte)
Laced (soft pink-nude matte)
Now that you've seen swatches, how do you feel about this palette?  Will you be picking it up?  Thoughts on Vice 3?  Let me know in the comments!
