Swatches: Urban Decay Hi-Fi Shine Lip Glosses
Urban Decay Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lip Gloss ($20.00 for 0.23 fl. oz.) is a new lip gloss range that features 20 shades across four finishes: metallic, holographic, cream, and sheer cream and the pigmentation ranges from “sheer, sparkly” to “pigment-rich.” According to the brand, the new formula is supposed to be “ultra-shiny” with “long-lasting wear that’s comfortable, not tacky.”
All so sheer. With all the more pigmented products out there ranging from moderately to fully opaque, I’m struggling to see the appeal of this product.
Same here, but I’ve also never been a huge gloss fan myself. Still, if at least the metallics had been glossier like the MAC Grand Illusion glosses, these might have had a bigger appeal.
Agree
Some people like/want more sheer lip products — myself included 🙂
Some of these look lovely, but I await word of whether or not they are in fact non-tacky. I don’t mind reapplying frequently but have VERY little tolerance for sticky gloss!
I have a mini naked deluxe and it’s not tacky at all. It has a nice mint to flavor too.
Some of these look super cute! Hopefully they review well
Meh. Savage is about the only one that’s “pigment-rich.” So many others look like dupes of each other.
Wow. I was hoping the Naked I had gotten and swatched was a bad one off. These look pretty terrible in general. This makes me sad!
Disappointing, yall
These are so unbelievably sheer! I was expecting some to have some pigment to them. I’m probably gonna pass on these. I’m sure I can find similar ones for cheaper.
If it’s comfy and non-tacky, and if one of them is a dupe for what Selena Gomez wears in “Fetish” audio vid (Fuel?)… I’d consider it.
N/m turns out that’s way too pigmented. Probably more like Naked.
The lipgloss in that video is Marc Jacobs lipgloss in French Tickler- a lot more peachy and shimmery than any of these!
Fuel, Beso, Snitch, Snapped, Shadowheart, Dirty Talk!!! Possibly 1993, too!!! I love those shades the most.
Nancy, I fully agree with your choices for favorites!! Snitch is the one I’m going to try first♥️
I could not possibly be less excited about this launch. As someone with long hair, I’m wary of gloss anyway, but I’ve picked up a couple of the Bite ones to use as liptoppers because they’re pretty. These are just boring to me.
Interesting that both Urban Decay and Pat McGrath have a “candy flip” lip color name/drug reference.
HaHa! That just goes to show how old I am because I didn’t know it was a drug reference! Back in the day when I was still nursing I knew all the names, references, mixtures etc. but have long since given up trying to keep up so unless it is obvious I don’t get it. It is probably my age that makes me not love drug and sex references in my makeup while a lot of other people are okay with it.
Me either…now I have to Google it to find out what it means.
Didn’t know that either.
Too sheer and hate mint scented lip products. Pass.
Once again, I have no idea what an Urban Decay initialism shade name means, even after Googling lol.
Fuel and Fireball are my favorites. I like that these don’t look particularly goopy (or at least that’s how they’re coming across in these pictures) like some other glosses
Looking forward to reading your reviews on these 🙂
I am in love with this packaging.
It’s unfortunate that these don’t look as good as the Revolution glosses. The minis I have were so amazing!
It’s a bummer to see UD put out so-so products. They have some of the best products on the market (everything Perversion and Vice). But the Troublemaker mascara, some recent palettes, and these glosses seem meh at best.
I like having sheer glosses available in my stash for when the mood strikes. Of these, Dirty Talk color interests me. I’ll have to check them out in-store.
My lips do not have a lot of natural color so something this sheer won’t work for me. I need to have some color or I look like the walking dead.
This makes me so happy!! I hate lipstick and I hate very pigmented gloss, and it’s been a nightmare lately finding a simple gloss. I can’t wait to try these.
Well that’s bad and good news! The bad news is that they’re dull; been there seen it and got all the dupes I could ever need, dull. I had high hopes for something saturated in colour, luscious and different; which is what I expect from UD!?
So the good news is I know have lots money and time that I had, mentally, parked for these to spend on something else instead! ?
I really like the packaging, and I’m glad to see glosses making their way back into make up, in general. There are several that I think look lovely, but I’m perfectly happy with a $5 or less, drugstore lipgloss.
Kind of a mixed bag. I really like the sparkly ones. I was hoping Snapped would be less sheer, and I thought it was supposed to be holographic. I thought two or three of these were supposed to be “holographic,” but none look even remotely so.
Yikes! These look prettier in the tube than on the actual lips! Disappointing indeed.
The Revolution glasses were better. They actually did have pigmentation in a non-sticky texture. This is the sort of pigmentation that I would expect from a squeeze tube gloss.
The last three are so pretty! Glad they came out with these – I remember the first round of glosses (to my knowledge) were a flop – I loved the formula of them, but all of them looked pretty similar.
So, they just refuse to learn. These look horrible because they all look the same. Why bring out 20 of the same shades (minus the two which were pigmented) and for $20! I keep trying to have faith in them but my gawd they can’t seem to get it right.
Candy Flip were named after candyflipping, the slang term for the practice of taking ecstasy and LSD at the same time. The band was formed in 1990 by Danny Spencer (vocals, keyboards) and Ric Peet (keyboards).
