Urban Decay

There's better options out there in my opinion. I liked this palette when I first bought it. The packaging is cute and tiny so you can easily travel with it and keep it in your purse, pretty and practical. I also like how most of the shades compliment each other making it easy to achieve a wearable look. However, the semi-matte palest shade 'inhale' is not very pigmented and goes on quite chalky, this means that in my opinion an additional brow bone./inner corner shade is required. The bright orange shade 'wild thing' is gorgeous and looks gorgeous on it's own over the lid with 'hot spell' in the crease. Whilst the shades are very pretty I don't find that most of them blend that well apart from 'vibrate' but as this is practically the same shade as my skin tone it doesn't really count. I find that the Urban decay shadows in particular aren't soft and buttery and make them hard for beginners or people (like me) who struggle with eye makeup. I only really noticed how not that great these shadows really are until I tried Morphe shadows. They have similar warm toned palettes at a fraction of the cost of Urban Decay are cruelty free and blend like a dream.

Well, this lipstick's packaging is less stellar than their old lipsticks (Revolution) which were quite hefty and weighted. The Vice Lipsticks are in a more traditional bullet style, and literal bullet casing (in my opinion) lipstick that I have gotten used to.

There's no discernible taste or scent. Many different finishes which may or may not work for you. It seems they released an entire collection large enough to rival Mac's lipstick collection. I have not tried the Mega Matte, so I cannot comment on this one, but the sheer shimmer, shimmer, and cream formulas are moisturizing and last decently well, and do not make my lips peel. There seems to be a lot of similar colours in different finishes, so it does get a bit confusing at times.

Some of my favourites are:
Comfort Mattes [ not really matte, sort of like a satin finish ] - Hitch Hike, Uptight, Safe Word
Cream - Ravenswood, Fuel, Fuel 2.0

Some of their names are a bit raunchy or derogatory but then again, it is Urban Decay.

So I am on my second bottle of this stuff, and I thought I liked it! I never noticed super amazing performance from it, but it's good enough. Then I did a wear test, and I found that it realllly didn't do much for me. It may have performed a little bit worse than using no setting spray.

I will not repurchase!

This is in the shade Fever. I included a swatch over Pat McGrath MatteTrance Lipstick in Antidote in the video.







Pros:
Pretty sheen, beautiful glitter

Cons:
There is some fallout of the glitter with wear, but not too bad
Odd texture - dry and gritty

Overall:
3.5* - it's pretty, but the texture is kind of a turn off

I loved the formula but would not repurchase because no shade matches me. I am pale olive. The paleness would be 2.0 level but it is too peachy on me. For reference I am MUFE Ultra HD Y235, bourjois healthy mix serum in 52.
