Urban Decay Ammo Palette - First Look!

I actually got the Ammo palette before Vice 3 (a Christmas gift) & was pleasantly surprised!
The aesthetics of the palette is once again - gorgeous - though smaller & more simplistic than Vice 3. The cover has an intricate purple skull design detailed with filigree & animal illustrations on the metallic background, with a similar design carried through the inside of the palette with a more atmospheric cosmic feel.

All ten colours are metallic, shimmery shades - ranging from neutral, coppery shades to purples & greens. It comes with a small metallic flat brush AND a mini, travel sized Original Primer Potion.
As with the Vice 3 palette the metallic shades (which are all these shades) go on incredibly smoothly with very good colour pay off - better than Vice 3 palette in my opinion however Vice 3 has more room for error with the double the shades. Even the white shimmery shade Polyester Bride has great pay off - with Maui Wowi being the least strong in colour although it is a fantastic transition & blending shade.

My favourite shades are Last Call & Chopper, a purpley pink tone & a copper. Sin & Maui Wowie work amazingly as transitioning shades & Polyester Bride is a shade I use as a highlight & inside the corner of my eye for extra shimmer & brightness. Although Oil Slick is one of my favourite metallic blacks with pigmentation built up so easily to be super dark!
