Anastasia Undressed Holiday 2019 Lip Set Review & Swatches
Undressed
Anastasia Undressed Holiday 2019 Lip Set ($40.00 for 0.6 oz.) is a new, limited edition set of five, full-sized lip products for the holiday season. There are three matte, liquid lipsticks, one metallic, liquid lipstick, and one lip gloss. On Mute was the only shade that applied well and lasted evenly for a good period of time, but all four of the liquid lipsticks were drying. Four of the five shades had application issues, and the liquid lipsticks were surprisingly runny (likely contributing to the application issues!).

Summer Vibes
Summer Vibes is a pale, milky pink base with warmer undertones and flecks of multi-colored sparkle. There was a subtle grit from the amount of larger sparkles in it, though it wasn’t to the point where it felt rough or was something I noticed during wear.
Otherwise, the gloss itself was smooth and spreadable but had a tendency to sink into my deeper lip lines. It has a “Sparkle” finish, which is designed to have translucent coverage, so the sheer coverage was expected. It lasted for two and a half hours on me and felt hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$16.00/0.16 oz. - $100.00 Per Ounce
It is supposed to be “opaque” with “high-shine” that’s “non-drying.” It is one of the more pigmented lipglosses out there that has a smoother, more cushion-y consistency that typically spreads well across the lips. Some shades gather in lip lines, and some shades apply streaky; it seems more common with lighter shades and milkier colors.
The formula is non-sticky initially and develops slight tackiness over time. My experience from wearing the formula is that they are often lightly to moderately hydrating and wear three to five hours. They have a vanilla scent that isn’t too overpowering nor does it linger once applied (I notice it mostly in the tube).

Sand
Sand is a light, yellowed beige with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation, though it wasn’t opaque in a single layer, despite seeming rather dense initially. While the texture was smooth, it was too runny and always wanted to veer over the edges of my lips, even when I tried to wipe away excess prior to applying.
There was slight unevenness, especially along the outer areas of my lips, and some product that sank into my deeper lip lines and separated after it dried down. The color stayed on well for five hours but was drying while worn.

Peachy
Peachy is a bright, peachy orange with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a more watery, overly-spreadable texture that sunk into my lip lines and separated along them once it had dried down. This shade wore well for five hours but faded very unevenly, while the formula felt drying over time.

On Mute
On Mute is a muted, light-medium rosy brown with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was almost runny as it was very fluid, which resulted in a harder application where precision took patience to achieve. It had rich pigmentation that dried down to an even, fairly smooth finish. It stayed on well for six hours and felt lightly drying over time.

Beaming
Beaming is a bright, pale pink with warm undertones and a metallic finish and faint, larger gold sparkle. It had a very fluid consistency that spread too readily over my lips, so I’d recommend taking great care to apply slowly and patiently or else use a separate lip brush. It had opaque pigmentation that dried down quickly but emphasized my lip texture and separated along my lip lines. It lasted for six hours but was moderately drying and faded unevenly.

Oof, those liquid lip swatches all LOOK extremely drying. This is why I swung back to the bullet lipsticks; liquid lipsticks are great for longevity but murder on my poor lips.
The shades are nice, though.
Nope! The only thing I do like from this set is the lipgloss. Those liquid lipsticks would KILL my poor lips in this dry as Sahara climate. Other than the lipgloss and On Mute, they look dry and uneven, too.
Those look so dry on your lips that MINE hurt looking at these swatches.
Sand makes me uncomfortably thirsty just looking at it. Some of the other shades are pretty, but way too dry-looking. Very easy pass on this set.
Not only can I not pull off any of the shades, I couldn’t even put them on my lips. I don’t think a balm over/under would save these from actually sloughing my lips away! I feel for you even putting these on, Christine. So painful looking. Needless to say, a huge “no” from me.
I’m not crazy about this lipsticks but the packaging is so beautiful! But this shades are not for everyone, sadly.
Oof! Not ABH’s best lippies, are they? Money saved.
Yikes. The gloss is really pretty! I swatched the gloss in person and it looked nice, if a little gritty. But those liquid lipsticks look like they sucked all the moisture out of your lips! I’m betting they put this set together with the hopes that the gloss would save everything if you applied it over the liquid lips. Not a good enough reason to release an entire set.
