I love UD lipsticks, and this is no exception. It reminds me of Naked, but a deeper pink. It's a neutral medium pink, not at all bright. I'm pretty pale, cool to neutral toned, with just slightly pigmented lips.This is a really nice medium pink on me, with just a hint of brownish. The best part about UD lipsticks is the formula. Super creamy, highly pigmented. They don't settle in lines or make your lips look or feel dry. They don't last super long, but I guess that's because they are so creamy. Not a huge fan of the packaging-the sword is a bit of a pain. From what I can tell from mine though, it looks as though you could still twist it up if it did happen to break off. I just make sure to carry it inside a little case. It's a bit spendy, and the packaging is a little bit of a pain (but cute!) but it is WELL worth it. It's hard to find a good selection in stores; Ulta has a few, but UD and beauty.com have a big selection. (NA) These lipsticks are fantastic, highly recommend!

Rush is my HG lipstick! I love how it looks and makes my lips feel. I go through them so quickly, so the price is a downfall and the packaging, though cute, can be an absolute nightmare. Overall I still give it a 5 and would highly recommend it for any medium, cool toned lady.

I love how you are very moisturizing and you got me back into lipstick and you look so fab on me but in order for your love in return I have to cough up $22. I wouldnt mind if I didn't need you everyday but I have an 18 month old & other MU to buy! I have to take it slow bc if I don't, that will be $264 +tax every year for you!!!

I'm so irritated with this product. I sang Rush's praises so loudly for so long because I had finally found the most perfect lip color ever. Even though I hated the packaging from the beginning, I dealt with it because I loved the actual product. Then a week after buying my second tube, the stupid dagger broke off. That's $22 down the drain (which was too much to pay in the first place for such ridiculous packaging). I was pissed. I broke the tube to be able to get in to the lipstick, and then I re-potted it so it could still be used. I shouldn't have to do that though. I grew increasingly frustrated and eventually wound up marching up to the nearest MAC counter with Rush in tow, demanding that the SA find me an exact color match. She pretty much did. I'm perfectly happy now with my cheaper, sleeker, simpler tube of MAC Syrup and will boycott Urban Decay's lipsticks forever. The packaging looks bad enough, but if it's not going to perform then it's just not worth it to me.

This is the first UD lipstick I bought. I've bought some MAC and other brands, but this is probably my favorite lipstick I own. Nevermind the packaging (which I happen to love since I adore purple), but the color is basically my natural lip color in lipstick form. I love natural looks, so I put this on and it just evens out the chapped portions and makes my color look uniform but still completely natural.

This is a MLBB shade.I wear this everyday with the Naked Palette by UD. It does have a slight smell but it doesn't bother me. I have a few UD lipsticks and this shade has the least amount of taste to it.

This was the first UD lipstick I bought. I've been an UD eyeshadow junky for a few yrs so I grabbed this lipstick on a whim one day because of a recommendation. I LOVE IT! Its sheer but it definitely shows on me. Maybe its because of my brown skin. It looks fantastic and I want to buy it again when I have no more.

I'm not really impressed with this... The reviews say sheer -- and it definitely is! This is more like using a lip balm than anything. The moisturizing effects do not last long though. On a positive note -- My boys love the case! They like to draw the sword from its scabbard! ;)

Love the taste, love the sheerness with the nice natural hue. Its doesnt last long though, and fades right in. Hate the dagger tube, reminds me of bonnie bell crap from the 80's we are women here! Not little girls. Hard to carry around. Nice rose color though, but not worth it.

This was my first UD lipstick and I bought it before MUA. I had never owned anything Urban Decay before so when their lipsticks came out I jumped on the chance to buy one- I love lipsticks! Rush seemed like a nice gateway color to the range so I bought it, even though it didn't seem to do much to my natural lip color. After using it several times, it still doesn't show up very well- it's very sheer. When I layer it on, it shows up as a very mauvey pink- which is okay, but this is marketed as a NEUTRAL pink, and it definitely leans on the cool side. The picture shown of the tube doesn't look like mine, though, so maybe the color and formula have changed since it first came out? Anyway, I thought this would be a really pretty everyday color, but I don't wear it nearly as much as I'd like to, and mostly in the winter/spring seasons.

There's been a lot of division over the smell, taste, and packaging of UD lipsticks. Personally, I don't notice any taste. The smell is kind of strong, but it doesn't bother me. And the packaging, while bulky and kind of silly, isn't as ineffective as some people claim it to be. I've read a lot of reports that people can't use the lipstick if the little dagger on the end breaks off- not true. simply hold the top portion of the lipstick tube (the lighter purple piece) stationary, and twist the bottom portion (the slightly darker purple piece) counter-clockwise to push the bullet up, and clockwise to retract it. Definitely play with it in the store to see how it works.

This is the perfect nude lipstick for me. I have not found anything like it and despite the flaws, I love it.
I have very pigmented lips (more purple than reddish), so finding a nude that works is really tough. This one fits for me perfectly. That Angeline Jolie lip that is fleshy and soft and smooth looking without being shiny is what I get when I wear this. I love the feel of it as it goes on - very creamy. It's actually a bit too sheer and doesn't really build, so for more opaque coverage, I use a pencil under and to define the lipline. Staying power is not very good-but it wears away evenly. If you have lips you feel are too bright or if they are like mine and you want them to be a bit more 'flesh' colored, this is a good choice for a natural looking lip with a bit of sophistication. If you have very pale lips this might warm them up to a nice natural looking nude this will do the trick. Not recommended for very dark skin or dark lips. I found it to be rather drying. The packaging is a nightmare. besides the fact that the case is just plain too large and fat, it's difficult to get it out of the package, and why oh why is the stupid little sword handle on the end? It's in serious need of repackaging. I dont like anything about it except the pretty purple color and the imprint of the emblem on the lipstick itself. Despite these things, I will repurchase.

Pros:
smooth creamy to apply
scent is mild caramel/vanilla and not offensive
sheer color that is not too sheer & fades away gracefully
unique color I have yet to find anywhere else

Cons:
expensive
drying
low staying power
not buildable
terrible packaging

I love this lipstick! The best part about it is the formulation. It's soft, smooth, creamy and applies like a dream. As for the colour, it's one shade pinker than my natural lip colour so it's very subtle and goes on sheer. This is a great everyday colour and is one of my go to ones for daily use.
The packaging is cute but rather bulky. I love cute packaging but not when it adds alot of weight to a porduct.
Overall I love it.

I adore this shade! Rush is a lovely, creamy pink, very soft and sheer. The perfect "nude" lip on me -- my lips just enhanced -- and a great everyday lip color for any occasion. This is the color I haven't been able to find in MAC. I'm not fond of the lipstick case, its a bit cumbersome and heavy but not a showstopper. Will buy again.

Overall, I'm a huge fan of UD especially their lipsticks. I have never minded the slight caramel scent/taste and while the packaging can be somewhat annoying in my traincase, I feel the product itself is worth it. :)

I was really looking forward to getting this lipstick and loving it but that just wasn't the case. I was expecting a nude-ish pink/mlbb shade. I'm not sure what happened w/ this lipstick and my skin :( but I'm neutral warm and pull off cooler toned lipsticks pretty well...certainly ones that rate cooler than this one. Unfortunately once applied this one took on a mauvey tone...not terrible but not wow either. For $22 I want a lipstick to be a little more than "eh" on. I'm going to play around with it a bit more and see if this purchase can be rehabbed, so to speak.

For reference, my skintone is around N5 in MAC.

I've just bought this today at Sephora and I think I'm in love - head over heels! I applied it at home on my bare face and it looks perfect. No other makeup item needed. It even makes my cheeks look flushed! This is basically the lipstick I had been looking for my entire life. On my NC30 skin, it shows up as a cool, nude pink with a lustrous, semi-sheer finish. No shimmer, glitter or sparkles (thank goodness). The package seems difficult to open, though.

Let the lovefest begin. This is gorgeous! On me, it's a slightly more intense version of my natural lip color, which makes my lips look plump and lush. I normally hate lipstick, as it makes any lines on my lips look prominent, it's too waxy, and it wears unevenly.

This lipstick is the answer to all my other issues with lipsticks. It's glossy and feels sheer but has a good deal of pigment and it doesn't look aging. Not gritty, wears even after drinking coffee, a gorgeous raspberry pink nude color.

Yeah, the packaging is a bit over the top (as is all of their packaging), but I'm most concerned with how it looks on me as opposed to how it sits in the dark in my purse.

Very sheer medium toned rosey pink. Looks like I'm wearing clear gloss with shimmer..not lipstick. But..it does make my lips look soft and smooth..great for a natural daytime look. Very odd pkg... . hard to open.

First Off, I really love UD's lipsticks. I was exposed by receiving a tiny sample in "Sellout" from sephora. This lipstick is very moisturizing, and makes lips look plump and healthy. I chose Rush, honestly because of the reviews. It seems that people of most skintones like the shade. I am an NC35 in MAC (which I don't use) but MAC seems like a universal reference. I wanted a baby pink shade but in the most subtle of baby pinks. Usually when I purchase a baby pink, like NARS' roman holiday, I end up looking like a zombie or hypothermic. Anyways, It usually does me no favors. But this is an absolutely gorgeous pink. It's a full coverage creme that glides on smooth. There are a lot of complaints about the scent and taste of UD's lipsticks, but I don't really concentrate on licking my lips with any lip product for that matter. The smell is kind of vanilla-ish, but I'm not bothered by either. I

This is a creamy moisturising warm pink on my NC35 skintone. The best part is I bought this with the F & F discount. I love love the fierce and cool casing. Weapon of love indeed!

I actually really like this lipstick. The color is a mid- tone, neutral pink, a bit the cool side. It's one of those MLBB colors. I find it's moisterizing, smooth, and creamy. When these first came out I bought it in a different color- I was turned off by the scent and packaging. But after using lippies that smell worse these are not bad- to me it's a smell/taste like burnt carmel but it isn't very strong.
The packaging I still don't like- I mean it's pretty, a work of art, nice to look at but it's too bulky and the dagger is annoying. I miss the old UD lipstick packing, it was much smaller, simple and sleek. It's tough to carry around. But since it's so big- it makes it easier to find in my purse.
Yes- I would re-buy- since the lipstick itself it really nice but only on sale ( I got this with UD FF for $15.40- full retail is $22 which is a little too much for an annoying packaging. )
