Urban Decay Cersei Lannister & Sansa Stark Vice Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Cersei Lannister
Urban Decay Cersei Lannister Vice Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium bronze with warm undertones and fine, golden copper and reddish-copper pearl. It had opaque pigmentation with a smooth, lightly tacky texture that was easy to apply and glided across my lips in a fluid stroke. The lipstick went on evenly and didn’t emphasize my lip lines. It wore well for four and a half hours and was moisturizing while worn.

Formula Overview
$18.00/0.11 oz. - $163.64 Per Ounce
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. I didn't notice any scent or taste. 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.

LELimited Edition. $18.00.
Sansa Stark
Urban Decay Sansa Stark Vice Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium peach with warm, orange undertones and a lightly glossy, cream finish. It had semi-sheer pigmentation that built up to true medium coverage with two to three layers of product, and it was part of the Sheer finish, so the opacity was in line with expectations. The color didn’t appear streaky along the edges but settled noticeably into my lip lines. The texture was lightweight, emollient without being too slippery as there was a touch of tackiness, and comfortable to wear. It lasted for three hours and was hydrating over time.

Of the 2, I strangely prefer the slightly sheer, glossy Sansa Stark lipstick for something to warm up my lips. Especially so if I’m doing a darker or more colorful eye! I’d definitely need to use a lip pencil underneath it, though.
Not disliking the Cersei Lannister shade, either! Just don’t exactly like her character very much. This is a lovely shade for a summer bronze lip!
I love the Cersei shade, but I have Roach. I’m not sure I want to get this just for the packaging. Sansa’s shade isn’t my thing.
I knew I would love Cersai Lannister and I do! Stunning shade for me.
It’s a good thing I never bought Amulet because that means I can buy Cersei Lannister. Amulet looks good on me and this probably will too. My only metallic lipstick right now from Vice is Wildfire (oddly GOT-appropriate).
I also like Sansa Stark although the color seems really sheer. It does look really fresh on you, Christine!
