Urban Decay Cosmetics Vice 4
Urban Decay's Vice 4 palette consists of 20 amazing shades--all never-before-seen--housed in a hard case that features a large built-in mirror and dual-ended brush. I always find the Vice palettes have some of the most creatively designed exteriors and Vice 4 is no exception--loving the splintered holographic design!
The shades included in Vice 4 offer a mix of mattes, metallics and shimmers and range from neutrals to vibrant pops of color and deep sultry shades. I often found in the past that UD tended not to incorporate many (if any) mattes in a lot of their older palettes (then again, I've been a UD fan since the 90s) so it's nice to see such variety in their newer ones!
While Vice palettes tend to be on the larger side, if you're bringing a larger carry-on or checked bag while traveling over the holidays I'm sure you could find room for it, especially since the Vice 4 comes in a fabulous coordinating bag. I tend not to travel with any of mine, however, because I'd hate for anything to damage my precious Vices--pun intended!

Final Thoughts
Overall, I think the palette has some really great shades and there's definitely a variety of finishes. As I mentioned above, I'm excited Urban Decay has incorporated more mattes in their larger palettes such as this one as of late. I do wish we'd seen some less common shades such as a true red mixed in, but overall I do like the majority of shades included.
While the palette case itself may not be the most travel-friendly it is gorgeous and if you're like me and prefer not to risk breaking your limited edition palettes by traveling with them that probably won't bother you.
I have received UD Vice palettes in the past as holiday gifts and I personally think they do offer a certain "wow" factor when it comes to makeup addicts. I love that this one comes in its own coordinated bag (so cute) and while I never tend to use the brushes or mirrors included, this one has a very large mirror and dual-ended brush that other makeup lovers may appreciate.
What do you think? Will you be adding Urban Decay's Vice 4 palette to your holiday wishlist this season?
