I got the email from Urban Decay announcing the release of their holiday Vice Palette and knew immediately that I had to have it. However, it’s my husband’s pet peeve when I shop for myself around my birthday, so I forwarded him the link and waited patiently until my birthday. Boy was it worth the…
