I have the Lorac Mega Pro Palette and I loooove it. I'm going to get the Vice3 when Sephora has their fall sale.

I know it's from last year, but the sephora holiday 2013 color anthology eyeshadow palette is amazing and I rarely use any other eyeshadow (though lately I've been really intrigued by the urban decay naked palettes). It's a great mix of shadows in every color imaginable- I've been using it very consistently for almost a year and none of the shades show any signs of running out or going bad. If they have a 2014 version I highly recommend it, especially if you like doing eye makeup in a lot of colors.

ALSO, I got myself the kat von d studded kiss lipstick set and it should be arriving at my house today, so when I get off work I'll post here again if it's good (and probably make a haul thread too)

I got the Vice 3 palette and the color variation is great :) I also got the Lorac Mega palette and omg 😍 my favorite! It is honestly the most pigmented palette. You can lightly touch a shadow and get a good swatch!! Absolutely beautiful!!

If I were at my house right now, I would happily do this, but personally I have the Urban Decay Vice 3 and the Too Faced Everything Nice palettes for right now. They're both lovely. I've messed around with each of them a bit, and I've worn the Vice 3 on a few days (but because I'm now a junior in college, my makeup obsession is sort of falling by the wayside for the moment). I'm a sucker for Urban Decay eyeshadows. They're wonderful, magical, they stay on in Miami heat and humidity, in rain (I wore the Vice 3, with GLITTER, to a football game, it poured rain for an hour, I didn't go inside at all and instead danced in said rain, and my makeup didn't move an inch) and sometimes through me rubbing my eyes and forgetting that I'm wearing makeup at all.

so, allow me to actually organize my thoughts:

Vice 3. It's wonderful. It doesn't move, Urban Decay shadows are gorgeous and smooth and easy to work with. I like the color selection as well, I think that there's a good mix of neutral shades and bright and/or ridiculous shades that I really only picture myself using (though I know that can't be true). I really like it, and UD is having their 20% off sale this week using the code UDFANATICS14, so if you want to get it, now may be the time.

Everything Nice. It's also great. I don't like Too Faced shadows QUITE as much as UD, but I still love them. Hands down favorite shade in the palette is Too Glam, which is like...okay, literally it's a peacock translated into eyeshadow. I'm not sure how they did that, but it's the prettiest thing ever. Anyway, on the whole, the palette works really nicely, the colors blend together, but it makes me sort of sad that out of 20 colors there are only 4 really vibrant shades, instead of the 10 or so that the UD Vice 3 has.

Conclusion: They're both great. pick the one whose colors you like better/will use more. Too Faced has 16 shades that I would consider neutral, and 4 that I would consider interesting. Urban Decay is about half and half (depending upon where you stand with the color Lucky, which is copper but it's so bright and metallic that I just can't picture it as a neutral). You can't go wrong with either of them, though!

I just saw today that Lorac is doing is 3D luster gift set with 4 different kinds so I'm totally going to have to get that. Bummed I won't be able to get it on Sephora but I will order from their site directly, that's how much I love it lol. The other set I already ordered was the Fresh lip balm, the nudes set. It comes with 4 lip balms from Fresh (my favorite) and their lip scrub. 3 are tinted and one is the original clear one. I love all of them, I keep all 4 in my makeup bag to rotate daily lol. I also got the Vice 3 and it's beautiful. I have used nothing but since I got it..

Update, the kat von d lip set arrived and it's really awesome! A great value if you don't have a lot of lip colors or if you haven't tried the brand before.

^ that reminds me, Urban Decay has a lipstick set too. I like Kat Von D so I'm sure hers are fabulous as well but I haven't tried her lipsticks yet so I can't speak for the quality personally but I have tried UD's lipsticks and they are top notch as well. I don't think anyone could do wrong with either set though. I saw grav3yardgirl's recent video on the KVD lipsticks though and they look really cool and have some very unique shades.
