Junkie

Urban Decay Junkie Vice LipstickUrban Decay Junkie Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a "metallic green shimmer with gold micro-sparkle [with a Metallized finish]." It's a muted, medium-dark cooler green with a lot of warmer, gold sparkle and shimmer. It had semi-opaque color payoff with a moderately emollient consistency that slid around slightly but was comfortable to wear and did not feather on me. It lasted for four hours and tended to gravitate towards lip lines after two hours of wear, but the more emollient texture made it more forgiving to smooth the color back into place.
