Urban Decay Juicy & Cherry Vice Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Juicy
Urban Decay Juicy Vice Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a soft, peachy-coral with pink and gold sparkle and finer pearl. It had a Metallized finish, but it did not have the opacity of the Cream finish, though there was plenty of pearl and had coverage that was more in the vein of the Sheer Shimmer finish. The lipstick had semi-sheer pigmentation that covered my lips evenly, though there was a touch of product gathered in my deeper lip lines but wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance. It had a smooth, lightweight consistency that was just a touch tacky with moderate slip. It wore well for four hours and was hydrating over time.

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.

Juicy
LELimited Edition. $18.00.
Cherry
Urban Decay Cherry Vice Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a deep burgundy with subtle, cool undertones and a lightly glossy, cream finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied fairly evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging. The texture was lightly creamy, moderately emollient, and had some slip on my lips but had enough tackiness that it didn’t seem to move around too easily on me, so it didn’t feather or bleed around the edges while I wore it. I was surprised this applied as evenly as it did–not quite perfect but vastly better than expected based on the texture and coverage level. This shade stayed on well for five hours and was moisturizing while worn.

Christine, your review of “Juicy” also applies to “Devilish”. I did buy that thinking it would have more opacity than it does. It’s a sheer pink shade. The color barely shows up on my lips, so I wear a liner underneath. The metalized finish makes it look glossy. The color is so sheer, you could wear any shade of lip liner.
I’m in LOVE with Juicy! It looks more like a a very complex lip gloss than an actual lipstick. Easier to apply than typical glosses do, I would think.
Cherry is beautiful, but as I’m already resolved to buy Nars Siouxsie and Nancy, I’m not allowing myself to fall for any other deep, vampy shades this autumn/winter!
I like both of these shades: Juicy is the kind of shade I would wear on a summer/spring day and it works as a moisturising kind of lipstick.
Cherry is just a gorgeous autumnal shade.
I like that dark cherry color and I’m glad it got a good review. I like wearing lipsticks in that color family, so maybe I’ll pick one up since you saved me from spending my money on the eye palette!
These are both so, so pretty.
Juicy is interesting…gives a nice bit of sheen without being super shimmery
I do like Juicy. I may not need it. Trying so hard to purge lippies of all types.
