Vice Lipstick

Creamy, pigmented, opaque,... What more could you ask for in a lipstick? ....What’s that?? You say you want a large variety of colors and finishes?? All at a reasonable price?!Then Urban Decay Vice Lipstick was made for you!!!!!Urban Decay is known for their high quality pigmented eyeshadows, but when they redid their lipsticks, they really put themselves on the map. I own so many of these Vice lipsticks, I’ve lost count!! LOL Vice has it all: Bold brights. Dark, sexy shades. Super-versatile neutrals. With so much variety it'll make your head spin, there's something for everyone... And just one swipe provides an unbelievable laydown of color. Every shade applies smoothly (without dragging or skipping), hugs lips, and feels amazing! Urban Decay's proprietary Pigment Infusion System gives the formula its super-creamy texture, rich payout and superior color dispersion. Not to mention, this creamy formula is loaded with nourishing ingredients!! A yummy butter blend comforts, hydrates and enhances, leaving lips soft and conditioned, never dry. Aloe vera, jojoba, avocado and babassu oils nourish and soften lips. Illipe butter (derived from Malaysian illipe trees) provides long-lasting moisture. And vitamin C and vitamin E provide a hit of antioxidants. As if all of that wasn’t enough,... these lipsticks are affordable for a high end brand, they last all day long, and they don’t feather and fade as the day progresses. Vice Lipstick comes in a modernized, luxed-up version of Urban Decay's original lipstick case. And the shade-matched label (including the shade name and finish) makes it easy to find the right color within the depths of your bag. If you haven’t tried this line of lipstick yet, I honestly don’t know what you’re waiting for!!!! « less

I have UD's Vice lipstick in a few shades but Fuel is definitely my favourite (and unfortunately it's limited edition)! It's super pigmented and lasts the whole day with one application. It also keeps my lips hydrated and they are never flaky when I wear this. The colour lasts throughout the day without bleeding or sinking into the lines of my lips. I love the satin finish and creamy texture of this and I love how flattering this shade is. Fuel is my favourite so far out of all the nude lipsticks I own (and I own a lot of them). I recently reordered another tube just in case it goes away one day!! 

I love the formula on these - ESPECIALLY the cream, which goes on smooth and feels moisturizing, but at the same time doesn't feather, slip, etc. The colour transfers a bit but does seem to have great staying power- it leaves a nice stain when the creaminess wears off. I definitely recommend this lipstick, BUT I also recommend that you buy them in store OR use the Vice Lipstick app to try them on virtually, because the colour swatches on the Sephora website are WAY off. I have this in a few colours so far. Blackmail is a lot darker with less red picment than shown here - it's a dark, dark wine purple, almost black. It does gather a bit in lines, but I lose how vampy it is. I love ZZ - it's a purple-y baby pink, lighter than shown on these swatches. It's a pretty colour but I think I'm gong to get a slightly darker lip liner to go with it, because it's an almost frosty pastel colour that needs a bit more definition to stand out from my pinky, fair skin. Wrong number is definitely sheer, and really close to my actual lip colour, but gives me a subtle, shiny finish. Gash is a great deep red, I love it! Bing bang is a bit much for an every day lipstick, but it's a beautiful and fun sparkly pink for girly days. Tampered is a lot more brown/almost grey? and darker than shown here but it's a wonderful comfort matte (not drying AT ALL) that stands out without being too wild. And finally, my favourite so far - Sabotage is VERY different from what you see on the swatch, much less pink and bright... it's more of a dark fuchsia with more of a purple tint. It is SO beautiful. All of these colours have great buildable pigment and it's fun to experiment with overlapping them as well. So very excited about this new line! <span class="shop__a pd-reviews__expand-link pd-reviews__translate-span" data-hide="-2879383629504982157-full" data-show="-2879383629504982157-short" jsaction="pdui.tvc">« less</span>

I purchased Liquid, Conspiracy, & Amulet directly from Urban Decay with their early access pass. I love all 3.Amulet is a berry/mauve shimmer, I feel is a go-to shade to feel polished. Edgy enough where its not the average granny color, but enough color to feel on point. Will be a great choice for summer if you are like me and don't want bubble gum pink or the same boring nude. Solid pigmentation.Conspiracy I knew would be a favorite the minute I saw swatches. Its a bronzy plum brown, neutral and very flattering. I have worn this for more dresses up occasions and received compliments. This is going to be my go-to for fall. Solid pigmentation.The greatest surprise was Liquid. It is a sheer formula, which isn't my cup of tea usually, however, this shade is full on vixen. Its a sheer berry/wine on me but I imagine it would be different for each person. It puts me in mind of Clinique's Almost Honey, but it has more staying power and coverage. This is now a staple in my purse. Looks more berry on when wearing my summer colors, but has enough red in it, to really complement your LBD. A classy color all around.Now as far as the formula goes..... I really like it. Its not going to last all day through meals and such, but I didn't expect it to. It does however last til lunch, where I re-apply and then lasts the remainder of the day. Can't complain there. It does glide on smoothly, and best of all, does not make my lips peel. It doesn't seem to dry them out like others have. The 2 shimmer colors do feel "heavier" but not really in a negative way. All in all it is a top notch lipstick, sleek packaging ( the lids do snap to ensure solid closure), and a cheaper price. Bravo Urban Decay. I can't wait to buy more shades. If you can't find a color to love here there's no way to make you happy. Thank you Urban Decay for providing so many color choices. Less

I tried the comfortable matte formula. I Love the way that the lipstick feels on my lips, the staying power, the creamy texture, the matte (but not dead) finish, and I Love the colours. However, the comfortable matte finish is Very drying on the lips. You don't notice it at first. At first it seems perfect. But then after a couple of hours, all of your lips are dried out and very wrinkled with every deep line accentuated. Such a shame. Will try the other finishes next.
