Of all the holiday collection this year, I’m leaning more towards Urban Decay after watching Samantha Schuerman’s first impression review and swatches on the Vice 3 palette. How can I not be? It comes with a matching pouch as well! In the video, Samantha whipped out the Vice 2 palette (at 2.03 minute) for comparison and heck I want Vice 2 too! I managed to track down a brand new Vice 2 palette after searching online for a few weeks so now Vice 3 is in my wish list.

The compilation for Urban Decay Holiday Collection gift guide is a breeze. I had some help from Urban Decay Malaysia 😀 . So now let’s see what Urban Decay had put up for us the makeup junkie besides the Vice 2 palette, shall we?

Urban Decay Vice 3 (RM200)

Urban Decay Shadow Box (RM120)

It’s the ultimate beauty dilemma: you’re going away for the weekend and you can only bring ONE palette with you. Quick, which one do you choose? No need to give yourself a makeup-induced panic attack as Urban Decay got you covered. Introducing the Shadow Box palette. Despite the size of the palette, it’s loaded with a DOZEN of Urban Decay most amazing shades—from pale to deep, matte to sparkly. The lineup includes nine bestsellers and three never-before-seen shades. It’s a versatile palette whether you want to do a purple eye, a green eye, a smoky eye or a shimmery eye. It’s all jam packed in one single palette.

This set includes:

• 12 eyeshadow shades – Sin (champagne shimmer), Indo (bright metallic emerald green shimmer), Bordello (pale mauve shimmer w/gold micro-glitter), Tornado (vibrant deep purple shimmer), Smog (deep coppery bronze shimmer), Blackout (blackest black matte), Flash (bright iridescent purple shimmer), Mushroom (warm gray shimmer), Lost (medium metallic brown shimmer), Freelove (golden vibrant peach shimmer), Moonshadow (bright navy blue shimmer w/tonal sparkle) and Baked Cowboy (golden bronze shimmer w/tonal sparkle).

Urban Decay Full Frontal Lipstick Stash (RM135)

This limited-edition set contains minis of three exclusive NEW shades—Ladyflower (bright rose-pink), Crush (inspired by one of our most-coveted Super-Saturated Lip Color shades) and Illicit (sheer baby pink)—plus three mini bestsellers (including Gash!). This set also includes a full size of Urban Decay best-selling clear shade – 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil in Ozone. Ozone holds color in place, prevents feathering, and fixes mistakes—yet it’s totally invisible on your lips.

The lipspticks are infused with Pigment Infusion System™ which gives Revolution Lipstick its super creamy texture, insane pigmentation, superior color dispersion and extended wear. Maxi-Lip™ defines and hydrates lips while making them look plumper and fuller. And a nourishing blend of jojoba oil, avocado oil, cocoa butter and shea butter keeps lips super moisturized and cushiony soft.

The24/7 Lip Pencil on the other hand are made with vitamin E, jojoba oil and cottonseed oil so it’s able to glides on smoothly to prime and prevent feathering, long-lasting lip color and to give a clean lines. When used both together, they are the ultimate pair for ultra long wear.

This set includes:

• Revolution Lipstick: Ladyflower (bright rose-pink), Crush (hot pink), Illicit (sheer baby pink), Gash (deep red w/tonal shimmer), Liar (pinky-brown nude) and F-Bomb (classic red).
• 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil: Ozone (clear).

Urban Decay Naked2 Basics (RM103)

Whether you are a fan or the Naked Basics palette or you are not as you find it to be too warm, then this is THE palette made just for you. Naked2 Basics is the answer to your request for a cooler in tone than the original. Something that I felt suits me better comparing to Naked Basics. Naked2 Basics on the other hand are loaded with six TAUPE-hued matte neutrals, including five never-before-seen shades. While many brands’ matte shadows tend to be chalky or powdery, EVERY shade in Naked2 Basics has a rich, buttery feel for the perfect application. Urban Decay even include one shade with a slight satin finish, Skimp, that’s ideal for highlighting and adding dimension.

This set includes:

• 6 cooler eyeshadow tones than Naked Basics – Skimp (pale nude satin), Stark (nude-pink matte), Frisk (warm gray matte), Cover (muted red-brown matte), Primal (muted brown matte) and Undone (deep, smoky brown matte).

Urban Decay Illuminated Shimmering Powder For Face & Body (RM99)

Naked Illuminated Shimmering Powder for Face and Body gives you a gorgeous just-got-Naked glow all over, sexy, just-finished flush that will have people asking what (or whom) you’ve been doing. This lightweight, baked powder has a sophisticated microfine shimmer worthy of the Naked name. Work just like any other highlighter (but better), simply dust on Naked Illuminated Shimmering Powder onto wherever you want to create an instant Naked glow, whether it’s on the cheek bone, the nose bridge, your décolletage, arms or even all over the body! This smooth, silky powder contains light-reflecting particles that create a luminous, radiant look.

Naked Illuminated gets baked on a terra cotta disc for 24 hours, then finished by hand. Baking the powder gives it a high level of just-perfect shimmer (without the metallic look of cheaper formulas). It also provides the color payoff of a loose powder, with the convenience of a pressed powder.

Illuminated Shimmering Powder For Face & Body is available in two shades:

• LUMINOUS – champagne shimmer with iridescent shimmer.
• AURA – soft pink shimmer with golden iridescent sparkle.

Urban Decay Black Magic 24/7 Glide-On Double-Ended Eye Pencil Set (RM139)

Like most women obsessed with black liner, Urban Decay are also serious about colors. Enter Black Magic 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Set from Urban Decay. It’s the ultimate pairing set for black liner junkies: four of our DOUBLE-ENDED Eye Pencils—for a total of eight habit-forming hues—all in the award-winning, waterproof 24/7 formula. The best part? Each pencil includes a black shade AND a rich, colorful shade. So whether you’re in the mood to go black or you’re craving a little color, you always have the perfect weapon at the ready. Experiment with every black shade Urban Decay make (including the 24/7 Velvet formula in Black Velvet), plus other iconic UD shades like Demolition and LSD. Urban Decay even brought back two in-demand shades you won’t find anywhere else, which is Black Market (charcoal-black) and Tornado (dark eggplant).

This set includes:

• 4 double-ended eye pencil in the shade – Zero + Demolition (zealous black cream + deep brown matte), Black Velvet + Smoke (rich, smoky black matte + deepest gray matte), Perversion + LSD (blackest black matte + navy shimmer w/bright turquoise micro-sparkle) and Black Market + Tornado (charcoal black satin + dark eggplant pearl).

Urban Decay Naked Basics Double-Ended Brush (RM63)

When Urban Decay launched the original Naked Basics palette of matte neutrals, women cried out for two things: even more mattes and the perfect brush to apply them. Done and done. To coincide with the launch of Naked2 Basics, Urban Decay introduces the Naked Basics Double-Ended Brush. This full-size brush is the ultimate accoutrement for our Naked Basics palettes. Because it’s two brushes in one, it’s extra versatile (yet it takes up less space in your bag). On one side: a shadow blender brush. On the other: a shadow smudger brush. Apply shadow all over. Blend, smudge and line. This indispensable brush does it all.

The brush hair is made with a super-soft synthetic material derived from recycled PBT plastic bottles, so it’s cruelty-free AND vegan! Another plus: Synthetic brush hair doesn’t hold on to gross bacteria the way porous animal hair can, so it’s easier to clean and more hygienic.

There you have it. An array of Urban Decay Holiday Collection for 2014. Knowing Urban Decay, I knew there will be more eyeshadow offering but hey, who’s complaining. I could never have enough of eyeshadow palette in my vanity. When Naked Basics was launched, I was not into earthy tone and honestly I find them too dark even for work. I secretly wish it comes in cooler tone. Same goes to Naked 2 palette. I like it but wished it wasn’t so earthy or brown and so Naked 3 palette with pinker undertone was born. I would say Naked 3 and Naked 2 Basics are meant for people who are into cooler tone but yet still want that earthy look on their eyes. As for the Vice 3, whether you are a collector since the first Vice palette or not, it’s not too late to start. I think the lipstick set would be a hit.

What’s your pick from Urban Decay Holiday 2014 collection?
