The Spring Season: Urban Decay Rush Lipstick
The Spring Season: Urban Decay Rush Lipstick
Urban Decay Rush Lipstick
($22.00) is a beautiful shade of creamy, no-shimmered rosy pink. It has a glistening sheen that makes lips look a little fuller and more pout-y. It applies easily and goes opaque in about two layers. It’s a very natural, soft shade of pink, so it’s suitable for everyday wear or to complement a darker eyeshadow look. I like the way it hugs lips and looks subtle but still way better than my natural lip! I get decent wear (about four hours) with this shade, and it’s moisturizing without being thick. It smells very sweet, maybe a creme brulee or caramel kind of scent.
Is this the right pink for you? Would you wear it?
The Spring Season is a series of posts featuring my favorite soft beige, coral, and pink lipsticks and lipglosses — all perfect for the first blossom of spring — that runs through March 2010.

Urban Decay Rush Lipstick
Oh, this is so pretty! *puts on to-try list* The coverage actually looks quite opaque and creamy for a shade like this.
Pretty! I like it because it is like MLBB lipstick.
I just absolutely fell in love with that color. Absolutely gorgeous!
I don’t know if I like the sound of the scent, though. Could you still smell it after it was on, and if so, for how long?
No, I couldn’t smell it when I was wearing it, but I don’t have a super sensitive nose, just FYI!
Christine, what does it smell/taste like? Love the color, but my experience with lippies (other than MAC) has not been positive. I personally think NARS tastes poisonous…which is sad, because I really want Turkish Delight.
If this is alright, I’m going to check it out.
It has a sweet caramel scent, maybe creme brulee… I don’t taste my lipsticks (I don’t lick my lips, stopped that habit a long time ago), so I can’t say. I can’t remember getting any yucky tastes in my mouth, though… I find MAC’s TLCs are really the only lip product that I’ve noticed a bad taste with.
Yes. MAC’s TLCs are the worst. The only one I can use is the tube version. No SPF.
Thanks for the heads up. I can manage a caramel-y taste. Any tips for me to stop lip licking?
I stopped just because I didn’t want my gloss/lipstick to go away so fast, lol! That was motivation enough for me!
Oh no, does NARS lipstick still taste sort of chemical-y? That’s a shame; that’s why I only bought the NARS Manhattan lipstick just one time. No the taste of NARS’ and especially Black Opal’s lipsticks is far too ‘chemical’, like plastic & metal together.
NARS lip products don’t have stellar taste/scent unfortunately!
gorgeous! I love the coverage! it doesn’t look look obviously opaque…if that makes any sense. =P
Totally makes sense 😉
Ooh, this is lovely! Will have to check it out next time I allow myself to go shopping!
I bought this color about a year ago, when they first came out. I got it primarily because my boyfriend’s nickname is Rush. But sadly, for me, this is the exact color of my lips! I’ve had colors that were close before, but this one is just INVISIBLE on me! I was so upset because it looks like such a pretty color!
But, it does have a great texture and scent! I love the feel of it! And, lol, the tube is like twice the size of most lipstick tubes, so it’s really easy to see in a sea of Mac lippies! (Not to mention the knife on top! rotfl!)
I love the way it looks on you though!! How would you say it compares to UD’s Naked?
That knife, while nice as far as packaging goes, is sooo annoying when trying to store these, lol!
It’s pinker than Naked, maybe even a little more rosy-mauve.
Hi Christine!
I’m currently debating on whether to get rush or MAC warm me up lipstick. I’m oriental, NC25. What do you think?
by the way I love your website! 😀
They’re both very different… so it depends what you’re going for! What are you trying to achieve?
Omg! I must have this lipstick! That’s freakin’ saying a lot since I don’t even wear lipstick often! Such a beautiful shadee!!!
Very pretty, too bad it has a strong scent. I like unfragranced lippies.
I love Urban Decay’s lipstick colors….they just taste like horrible chemicals. gross
i love this color! it’s a nice nude color w/ a pinkish tint, versus a drab looking brown. enjoy reading your blog. can’t wait for more reviews 🙂
Thanks, Burnette 🙂
Love it and you have beautiful lips to put it on!
Christine! You are a bad influence…I rushed out after seeing you use UD Rush in your Valentine’s Day Face and bought it…LOVE!
I’m so happy you love it!
Please do some shades for dark pigmented lips too!! I love this series but don’t think I can wear any of them so far coz my lips are so dark :(.
I haven’t tried UD lipsticks yet. this looks like a great color and formula, gotta check it out. Thanks Christine!
I have this and I LOVE it! (Mine doesn;t smell or taste like anything though.)
Don’t think I’ve heard of this color before…looks similar to UD’s Naked, yeah?
It’s definitely similar, though I think Naked is a little lighter – maybe a lighter, brighter more posey pink than rosy pink. Naked also has shimmer, IIRC!
I have this color, I got it on sale about a month ago.
I really love it, and I’m not big on pinks.
The smell isn’t that noticeable. I’ve read so many reviews about people not liking the scent of UD lipsticks, but I really don’t see what they are talking about. First application there is a scent, but is not bad by any means. You don’t even notice it when it is on your lips.
I agree — you don’t notice it on the lips (at least, I don’t!), but you can sell it in the tube.
It looks very nice! In Italy we haven’t Urban Decay, so I can’t try the colours. I’ve bought Naked UD Lipstick, do you think they are similar pinks?
Similar, though not exactly the same — Naked is a brighter, lighter pink (but not like… bright pink! just… more of a yellowed pink, I suppose) and has shimmer.
Beautiful color. If it weren’t for that silly packaging, I would definitely consider it. I really do not like UD lippie packaging. 🙁 Awww but the color….
Christine,
hope no one asked this already… Is there a MAC dupe for this?
Also, please keep showing us great drugstore options!!! My wallet thanks you!!!
I think Creme Cup might be similar…
This is a very pretty shade! I want something like this for Spring this year. Say, between this UD and the D&G one you reviewed earlier, which one do you prefer?
UD — it’s a little softer, I’d say. Though I don’t have any taste issues, others have said UD lipsticks taste terrible, sooo you may want to check that out if it’s a concern 🙂
this looks gorgeous on you! i love how it gives off that innocent pink look 😉
Oh my, I really have to try this one out, it’s lovely!
sweet!!! perfect for valentine!!!! maybe…
I am really loving the spring season series! I’m a sucker for light/baby/nude pink lips 🙂 Thanks for the great recommendations Christine!
Just tried it on…. Looked bluish on me. Oh well.
I like Naked by UD a lot too (to be featured!), which is more of a yellow-pink!
me too or should i say mauvey. Maybe we have more pigmented lips? Anyways, i bought it and put cthru lipglass on top…love the results!
You really have got to stop showing me all these pretty lip colors… my bank account won’t be able to tolerate it.
With all the interest (mine included) of how this compares to Naked, would it be possible to get side-by-side comparisons of Rush & Naked?
Please/thanks…
I’ll try to get some!
very pretty but i think for $22 i should be really WOWED by the product.
I will definitely check this out! Gorgeous color 🙂
That is beautiful, I usually only wear either NYX or MAC lipsticks, but next time that I go to sephora I will definitely check this out.
Love this color too! 🙂 What suggestions can you give me about eyes? I’m still a newbie when it comes to pairings of eye/lips/cheeks. What would you do to wear this lippie? It seems pretty sheer, which I think would work well for me in getting in a pink shade…
I’d wear it with neutrals and smoky eyes mostly 🙂 Or really bold purples/pinks.
I tried the color, but just don’t like the actual product…any dupes??? 🙂
Hmm, maybe Creme Cup by MAC 🙂
I reaaaally like the Maybelline line that you did a piece on about the Caramel Kiss. I actually went out and tried to find a color similiar to this Urban Decay. I got it yesterday, in the color Born With It. It’s beautiful!
Will have to check it out, thanks Nancy!
I’m planning an Ulta trip soon. This is going on the try it list.
So pretty! I’ve been jotting down all of these neutral-ish lips just to see which one will end up getting my money 😉 Your site is awesome!
Thank you, Lego!
hi Christine! would you compare this to MAC Rose Romance l/s?
Oh, it’s kind of like that! I’d say they’re very similar, though Rose Romance didn’t show up as well on my lips (but that’s just me!).
This is so pretty! I don’t have any UD lipsticks yet but I am definitely putting this one on my list!
this is so soft and pretty!
i love sheen-y, moicturizing lipsticks, so this one gets a big yay from me 🙂
oh so pretty!
What we be a good dup on this for a more affordable price? (Drug store brands)
Haven’t found one yet… working on it.
I adore Urban Decay, but I will probably never buy another lippie from them again. I bought one last month, and while I love the color, the taste is horrific. It’s really that bad — I can’t wear it if I expect to eat anything while I have it on.
Oh, I love it. It’s so soft!
By the way, you wax your upper lip, right? Usually when I wax I get atleast one freakin’ pimple.
Not much, actually! I use Eve Pearl’s little travel-sized razor most of the time — it’s just, I do lip swatches so often that waxing would be too much every 1-2 days!
Hey Christina, where is the UD Naked lip swatch on Temptalia? I can’t find it anywhere. I am trying to compare the two to place an order.

Thank you so much!!
Pretty! This is another one to add on to my list of “to gets”.
Would you know how similar this is to MAC’s Angel… ? Debating between the two but might end up getting both if they’re different enough..
If you have pretty pale/non-pigmented lips, I think Angel will be similar. Angel may not be as opaque, perhaps. This is also more similar to Creme Cup, I’d say…
Christine, your lips are so perfect! Wish I had pale lips so I could pull off more light pinks and nudes! Tips for having smooth non-chapped lips? Whenever I apply lipstick its obvious its going the cracks on my lips if you understand what I mean..
Here’s my routine… http://www.temptalia.com/how-to-get-perfectly-pouty-lips-smoothe-moisturized-lips
Oops another question, when you do these reviews do you usually apply the lipstick just from the tube or do you always use a lip brush? Your application is flawless!!
From the tube!
It looks nice on you Christine in a very normal everyday kind of way.
hey christine, how would you compare this with UD’s Lovechild lipstick?
thanks 🙂
Don’t have that one, sorry!
Hi Christine,
how does Rush compare to MAC’s Way to Love l/s?
I love how this looks innocent and “wet”(if that make sense) on your lips.
A little cooler-toned!
I really like this one!
What about the fading, does it fade evenly? Is it very noticeable? I’d assume it’s nothing too visible since it’s quite sheer and light.
Also, on lips that are slightly more pigmented, would you advise wearing something underneath to help neutralize the natural lip colour, or do you think that this lipstick would still show up on darker lips?
I think it fades pretty evenly, particularly since it is on the sheerer side.
I don’t think it’ll show up quite as well on darker lips, unfortunately! A way to sheer out lips is to put a little concealer or foundation on (sheerly!) before applying lipstick.
Does anyone know of any MAC dupes for this?
Maybe Sweetie.
I am going to have to try this on at Sephora. All the other UD lippies left a downright poisonous taste on my lips. Gorgeous color though!!! Would you say Guerlain Beatrix (B60) is a good dupe for this?
Hey, just wondering, but why is it that most of the swatches for this lipstcik *except* for Revolution look like they have only been given one swipe?
