Packaging:
This year's Vice palette is inspired by the vintage Urban Decay eyeshadow "oil slick". The palette is sleek and slim and the lid features a beautiful three-dimensional, multi-colored geometric cutout design. Inside the palette are twenty shadows (0.8g each) and a duo-ended shadow brush.
Included with the palette is a nice and cushiony makeup bag, also covered with a gorgeous oil-slick print.
Formulation:
For Holiday 2015, Urban Decay is adding another Vice palette to the collection and as the brand creators put it: "there's no such thing as too much Vice". Housing 20 brand new, never-before-seen colors, Vice 4 ($70 CAD) is inspired by the colors of an oil slick, so you can expect a full range of unique shades.

The palette features 20 brand new eyeshadow colors, four of which are matte, and the rest either shimmery or metallic. As is customary with Urban Decay, the palette has quite a few pinks and purples (Beat Down, Pandemonium, Harlot, Underhand, 1985, and Fast-Ball). There are also a good number of wearable neutrals such as Bones, Grip, Framed, Discreet, Robbery, Bitter, and Delete but the overall color selection is pretty unique.

Overall:
Urban Decay pretty much can do no wrong and this year's Vice is yet another hit. The color selection is very unique, although I wish there were a few brighter mattes in the palette. The formulation is great as always, almost all of the shades are incredibly pigmented and rich.
