Urban Decay Failbait Revolution High-Color Lipgloss ($22.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as a “light neutral pink.” It’s a medium pink with cool undertones and a creamy, glossy finish. It is semi-sheer with a light-medium weight consistency that feels smooth and creamy. The formula is non-sticky initially but gets tacky as it wears. This shade lasted for four hours on me and was lightly hydrating, but it applied unevenly and settled into lip lines slightly. Bite Beauty Ten (Watercolor) (LE) is darker. Dior Tiny Pink (269) (P, $35.00) is lighter. NARS Belize (P, $26.00) is lighter. MAC Hoop (LE, $15.00) is brighter. Chanel Pink Pivoine (88) (LE, $27.00) is similar. Urban Decay Flushed (P, $19.00) is more opaque, less glossy. Paul and Joe Beaute Carnaval (06) (P, $29.00) is similar. Maybelline Caramel Infused (065) (P, $8.99) is lighter. Maybelline Mauve Mystique (025) (P, $8.99) is cooler-toned. MAC Petite Indulgence (LE, $20.00) is cooler-toned. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.

Urban Decay Kinky Revolution High-Color Lipgloss ($22.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as a “nude.” It’s a muted, medium peach-brown with warm undertones and a creamy, glossy finish. It was mostly opaque and applied evenly, but some of it gathered in lip lines. The high gloss finish coupled with the pigmentation seemed to minimize how apparent that was in person (from a normal viewing distance). This shade wore well for five hours on me and was moderately hydrating. Chanel Sensuel (11) (P, $34.00) is warmer, sheerer. Maybelline Charming Cocoa (125) (LE) is darker. MAC Overspiced (LE, $15.00) is a smidgen lighter. Maybelline Nude Illusion (060) (P, $8.99) is more muted. Chanel Genie (P, $32.00) is sheerer. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.

Urban Decay Liar Revolution High-Color Lipgloss ($22.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as a “medium pink-nude.” It’s a rosy brown with warm undertones and a creamy, glossy finish. It had almost full color coverage that applied evenly and very minimal settling into lip lines (which wasn’t noticeable except up-close and didn’t worsen over time). The color stayed on well for five hours, while the formula was hydrating. Urban Decay Kinky (P, $22.00) is lighter. Marc Jacobs Beauty Satisfaction (214) (P, $28.00) is darker. Maybelline Charming Cocoa (125) (LE) is lighter. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.

Oh boy, I just can’t with these try hard names! Maybe that’s my age showing though 😉

By the way, Christine, are you planning on a review of Laura Mercier’s LE highlighter called Indiscretion?

Mel Avatar

Meh, the nude ones look decent. I hope you plan on reviewing more of the NYX saturated lip glosses (I’m so in love with them!)

Alex Avatar

Kinky looks just like Oxblood lipstick from the Toledo Collection but glossier, oddly it looks different from the Oxblood lipglass though.

GG Avatar

Oh, pretty. I’m glad the two shades I was most interested in performed pretty well! At the same time, I probably have too many similar products to justify going ahead and buying either of them.

Carissa Avatar

That looks like the Too Faced Sugar Pop palette on your eyes! At least I’m hoping, because I’d love to see your review of it before I use up my Ulta rewards to get it.

Nancy T Avatar

I really love Liar and Kinky! But because they look quite similar, I would only choose one. So far, I ‘m not sure which of these it’ll be just yet.

Lana Avatar

I love the color of Failbait but I’m not impressed by the sticky goopy formula. Is there an opaque lipstick that closely matches this color? I prefer lipstick over gloss any day
