Urban Decay Vice Lipstick

Urban Decay Crash Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “neon orange [with a Mega Matte finish].” It’s a bright, medium orange with warm, yellow undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had good color payoff with a fairly soft, smooth texture that tugged just a little bit when I was applying directly from the tube. The texture is thinner and drier compared to the other shades, and it transfers significantly less. The formula is a little drying for me, though the color wore for five hours.

Urban Decay Bang Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “bright orange-red [with a Cream finish].” It’s a bold, bright, medium-dark orange-red with warm undertones and a creamy, lightly glossy finish. It had rich, opaque color coverage with a lightly creamy texture that had some slip but didn’t feather or slide around too much. I noticed a little bit of color welled up in lip lines, but the darker/brighter color made it hard to tell. This shade lasted for five hours on me and was lightly hydrating while worn.

Urban Decay Slowburn Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as an “orange-red [with a Sheer finish].” It’s a medium, orange-red with warmer undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque color coverage that went on fairly evenly and smoothly. The texture was slightly stiff in the tube until it melted/warmed up against the lips as I applied it. The color lasted for four hours, while the formula was slightly hydrating. MAC Flaming Lips (LE, $20.00) is lighter (95% similar).

Urban Decay No-Tell Motel Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “cherry red [with a Cream finish].” It’s a bright, medium-dark red with neutral-to-cool undertones and a creamy, lightly glossy finish. It had very nearly opaque pigmentation that applied with smooth, even color. I didn’t personally experience feathering issues, and I felt like the formula held in place just slightly (though not as much as the Revolution formula), which might have been why. This shade lasted for six hours, was lightly hydrating, and left a stain behind. This shade will not be available at Sephora (but will be at all other retailers). NARS Members Only (LE, $28.00) is darker (95% similar). Buxom Provocateur (DC, $21.00) is darker (95% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty Goddess (202) (PiP, $30.00) is less glossy (95% similar).

Urban Decay Sheer F-Bomb Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “classic red [with a Sheer finish].” It’s a slightly muted, medium pinky-red with cooler undertones and a natural sheen. I find that while it has cooler undertones, there is almost a warmer overtone that seems to make it appear brighter and slightly more neutral once applied. The formula had a thinner, more emollient texture that was lightly hydrating but only lasted for four hours. It had semi-opaque color coverage. It left a very subtle stain behind. NARS Flamenco (DC, $28.00) is more muted (95% similar). Urban Decay Sheer F-Bomb (DC, $22.00) is lighter (90% similar). Chanel Rouge Rebelle (172) (P, $45.00) is lighter, warmer (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.
