The Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick

The Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick is described as "creamy, badass luxury. Our Pigment Infusion System delivers insane color payoff with creamy shine, Maxi-Lip plumps and nourishing oils leave lips cushiony soft."




Price: $22

This is a great price for a lipstick like this. This lipstick really packs a lot of benefits for the price.

Formula

This formula is super creamy and hydrating. The application is smooth and the product looks glossy and hydrating. The ingredients in this product are amazing! It's filled with hydrating oils. I counted at least 5 different types of oils as well as a form of Vitamin E. I also noticed there's an ingredient in it that increases the power of oils and another one that binds moisture to the lips. I'm assuming that this is there formula to increase the plumpness of the lips. Get them super hydrated and then lock it in. This is going to increase the suppleness for sure. That's good to know because some products that claim to plump are actually plumping them by using ingredients that irritate the lips and that's why they swell a bit.

Wear

This product doesn't have exceptional wear but when it does wear off your lips feel super moisturized. I wouldn't worry about having to apply more often because it's a moisturizing treat to apply this lipstick.


Pigment

The pigment of this product is pretty good considering the oils that are in the product. When it wore off my lips were stained a bit.


Packaging

The packaging is super trendy with it's gunmetal case. When you open it you'll find the inside is purple.




Where To Buy

Ulta, Sephora or UrbanDecay.com


Overall Assessment
I love this lipstick! I'm definitely going to be checking out some other shades. I think this product would be perfect for my clients that often times have dry lips. This product would give them color without further drying them out. I'd give the Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick a 9 out of 10.




The Urban Decay Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss

The Urban Decay Revolution Lipgloss is described as "With its addictively creamy texture and gorgeous, high-gloss finish, Naked Lipgloss feels so luxe that you’ll want to keep applying it all day—even when you don’t need to. The best part? Unlike most addictive substances, it’s actually good for you!"


 
Price: $20


This is a perfect price for any professional lipgloss but with it's added benefits, this is an amazing price.


9 shades

This is the only downside I found. This doesn't come in very many shades. It does have your basic shade range though.



Shades include:


Beso - Deep pink-mauve
Freestyle - Brown-nude with subtle micro-shimmer
Liar - Soft mauve-pink
Lovechild - Medium pink
Naked - Nude-pink with pearly pink shift
Nooner - Light neutral nude
Rule34 - Medium brown-nude
Streak - Coral-peach
Walk of Shame: Pale nude-pink with subtle micro-shimmer

Formula

This formula is super hydrating. Looking at the ingredients, I noticed that there are 6 different kinds of oils, Vitamin E, Shea Butter and 2 additional types of lubricants. I also noticed that there is Sodium Hyaluronat which reduces flakiness and restores suppleness. There's also another ingredient that I noticed that is an occlusive ingredient which means that it forms a barrier to protect from water loss. 
This applied really nicely and was really hydrating and not sticky. My lips felt moisturized and they continued to feel that way after the product had worn off.

Wear

This product has a normal wear time for a lip gloss. It seemed to last about as long as I'd expect a gloss to last but afterwards my lips still felt super hydrated.


Pigment

The pigment of this product is pretty usual for a lip gloss. It wasn't super-pigmented but it did give good color over my lipstick and definitely added some great shine.


Packaging

The packaging is really unique. It has a champagne colored package with a cutout in the center of the word "Naked". You can see the gloss color through the cutout and there's also a window at the bottom that shows you the color. The applicator is a paddle-shaped applicator and it picks up color on one side.

Overall Assessment
Love it! After a long winter in MN, it's like a little piece of heaven. Loved the hydration and the feel of this. The product had tons of shine and it almost felt like I was wearing a lip treatment instead of a gloss. I'd give the Urban Decay Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss a 9 out of 10.
