Urban Decay Dirty Talk & Shadowheart Hi-Fi Shine Lip Glosses Reviews & Swatches
Dirty Talk
Urban Decay Dirty Talk Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lip Gloss ($20.00 for 0.23 oz.) is a deep, reddened copper with fine gold and pink pearl. It had semi-opaque color payoff with a smooth, plush consistency that didn’t feel tacky. The gloss applied fairly evenly, but there was slight streaking along the edges of my lips that I could see close-up (but not from afar). The formula was lightly hydrating and seemed to make my lips appear a bit smoother (less lines). It wore well for four and a half hours and was lightly hydrating.

Formula Overview
$20.00/0.23 oz. - $86.96 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "ultra-shiny" with a "cushiony-soft" texture that has "long-lasting wear that's comfortable, not tacky." They are scented with "vanilla-mint," which I did detect, and I could taste slightly (more like a vague sweetness). There was a slight minty tingle upon initial application, but it was very subtle and more of a cooling sensation than anything painful.
The strength of the formula is the texture of the gloss--more gel-like with a plushness that often smoothed out my lip lines rather than settled into them as some glosses are prone to do. Most shades applied well, were comfortable to wear, and lasted between three and five hours on me with light hydration.
The coverage varies based on finish, with "Sheer Cream" having the sheerest coverage and "Cream" having "pigment-rich" coverage (opaque). The two other finishes--Holographic and Metallized--are supposed to have more medium, buildable coverage, per the brand. I think that the brand could have done a better job describing the coverage levels both by finish as well as by shade, though.

Shadowheart
Urban Decay Shadowheart Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lip Gloss ($20.00 for 0.23 oz.) is a medium-dark, brownish-plum with warm undertones and gold sparkle strewn throughout. It was more cream than sparkle, and the plushness of the consistency made it so I did not feel the sparkles when worn. It had medium coverage, which built up to semi-opaque coverage with a second layer. The texture was comfortable to wear over the four and a half hours it lasted for, though there was a touch of color that settled into my lip lines. It felt lightly moisturizing over time.

Both very pretty shades, just not for me. I don’t like sparkle on my lips and I’ve always been wary of lipgloss. It seems like it would feel annoyingly goopy. Am I wrong?
I like the name Shadowheart. It sounds like the title of a book to curl up with on a gloomy, rainy day. (I just googled it out of curiosity and apparently there are several Shadowheart books already!)
This iteration of Shadowheart is *quite* different from the beloved Revolution version. It’s beautiful, true enough, but the previous version had such a deep, glowering mystique to the shade that seems to have gotten lost in translation here.
Dirty Talk just looks too easy to dupe for me to get on board with it.
Dirty Talk looks lovely! Very much a color that would work on me. I shall check out asap.
Cute!
