Urban Decay Bobby Dazzle Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “white iridescent pearl [with a Metallized finish].” It’s a neutral-to-warm leaning white shimmer. There’s not much color to it, and I imagine it would be better as a layering shade than on its own, though the lack of base color makes it wearable on its own. The consistency had some slip, was on the thinner side, and wasn’t drying when worn, though I had some of the milkiness seem to settle into lip lines. The shimmer wasn’t too noticeable on the lips and didn’t seem to migrate. It lasted for two hours on me. I think this shade would be better labeled as a Sheer Shimmer.

Urban Decay Walk of Shame Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “pale nude-pink [with a Sheer Shimmer finish].” It’s a light, peachy-beige with warm undertones and very fine shimmer. It had semi-sheer color coverage, which means a lot of the natural lip color will come through, so this can look wildly different from person to person. On me, it lightens my natural lip color and washes it out. It applies somewhat unevenly and gathers in some of my lip lines. This shade lasted for two hours and was neither hydrating nor drying.

Urban Decay Barfly Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “pale nude [with a Cream finish].” It’s a light-medium peach with warm, orange undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a creamy, light-medium-weight consistency that glided on without tugging, but this shade didn’t apply as evenly as other shades. I noticed that it struggled to adhere near the center of the lips for some reason. This lipstick wore well for four hours with some color pulling into lip lines over time.

Urban Decay Earthling Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “pale nude with pink undertone [with a Sheer finish].” It’s a light, peachy-beige with warm undertones and a natural finish. It is a lot like Walk of Shame, but this shade has more coverage (semi-opaque). It goes on somewhat evenly but is unforgiving. it seemed to catch on any imperfection on my lips. Some of the color pulled into lip lines, which worsened over the two and a half hours it lasted. MAC I've Been Naughty (LE, $22.00) is less shimmery, darker (95% similar).

Urban Decay Trick Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “metallic pinky-copper shimmer with micro-sparkle [with a Metallized finish].” It’s a muted, medium gold with copper and fuchsia shimmer. It had semi-sheer color coverage that went on fairly evenly and didn’t emphasize lip lines. The shimmer is just barely noticeable when applying from the tube, but I don’t feel it when it is sitting on the lips. The consistency had moderate slip but wore for three hours. It did, however, feel more like a Sheer Shimmer. Tom Ford Beauty Natalia (LE, $36.00) is darker (95% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Lisa (LE, $36.00) is less shimmery, lighter (95% similar).

FORMULA OVERVIEW | Urban Decay Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is available in six finishes, which are primarily distinguished by level of sheen, shimmer content, and coverage. Mega Mattes are the thinnest and have the most “cling” as they are drier and more matte (but most are semi-matte and not a totally flat matte) and can be drying, though they are longer-wearing. Comfort Mattes are creamier, a little denser, with richer color payoff on average (they are the most pigmented out of the finishes), and have a satin finish that is fairly comfortable to wear, usually lightly hydrating, and longer-wearing. Creams are usually softer and creamier, though not too soft (they don’t mush or break from the base easily), with some being tackier and stiffer in the tube until they warm up against the lips; they have good color payoff, are hydrating, and are comfortable to wear but have more typical wear (four to six hours–six hours for deeper/richer shades like a red). Sheers and Sheer Shimmers have a more balm-like consistency that feels a little thinner but is wetter/more emollient than Mega Mattes, so ultimately, they feel quite different applied; they have sheerer coverage, though more semi-sheer to semi-opaque than very sheer, and have the shortest wear time at two to fours with light hydration. Metallized is the most shimmery of the finishes, though some of the other finishes have shades that are actually as shimmery (to me), but the Metallized formula has a thinner, more emollient base that isn’t as dense or as cream-like as the Creams; they feel more like the Sheers but a bit heavier and more pigmented (but seem to run semi-opaque to opaque, not always fully opaque) with average wear (four to five hours), light hydration. The Revolution formula–generally–felt a little more hydrating and pigmented on the lips, but these seem to wear a little longer; some of the shades that were in Revolution and are now in Vice (particularly the Creams, Sheers, and Sheer Shimmers) feel virtually the same on to me. The Comfort Mattes are the only ones that felt largely different–more satiny than matte, less dense compared to Matte Revolution.

A note on packaging: an average Revolution lipstick weighed 1.0 oz. in total, while a Vice Lipstick weighed 0.7 oz. in total. The weight distribution for a Revolution lipstick was: 0.2 oz. for the cap alone, 0.8 oz. for the base. The weight distribution for a Vice lipstick was: 0.2 oz. for the cap alone, 0.5 oz. for the base. The decrease is felt primarily in the sturdiness/weighted feeling of the base, so I find the older Revolutions to stand better on their own, but thrown into a cup or jar for storage, it doesn’t really matter. The more weighted base does give a greater sense of heft when applying, since you hold the base. The caps are the same total weight, but the Revolution caps are shorter and, as a result, maybe 1mm thicker, while the Vice caps are longer and spread the same weight of material over a larger area. All but two out of 120 lipstick caps felt very secure, and then about four were extremely secure and difficult to uncap, but otherwise, there is a soft “click” and the caps seem to stay on without easily coming off. All that being said, they seem to be the same packaging used in the Gwen Stefani and Alice Through the Looking Glass collaborations, though the interior tube felt a little higher-end, even though they all weigh the same. Revolution Lipsticks were $22.00 for 0.09 oz., which works out to be $244.44/oz., and these are $17.00 for 0.11 oz., which works out to be $154.55/oz. So while the packaging does feel less substantial and cheaper, you are paying $5 less and getting more for your money, but if you really liked the heavier base of Revolution lipsticks, you might miss that feeling with the new packaging.
