Urban Decay Hot Love & Disco Queen Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lip Glosses Reviews & Swatches
Hot Love
Urban Decay Hot Love Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lip Gloss ($20.00 for 0.23 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark coral-orange with warm undertones and multi-colored sparkle. It had medium color coverage in a single layer, which was as marketed for the brand’s shimmer/sparkle finish, though it would be great if the brand included “medium coverage” somewhere at the point of purchase! The texture was smooth, gel-like with a light creaminess, which made it easy to apply and spread out while also ensuring it was comfortable during the four hours it lasted for.

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.

Disco Queen
Urban Decay Disco Queen Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lip Gloss ($20.00 for 0.23 oz.) is a medium-dark plum with subtle, warm undertones and holographic micro-sparkle. It had medium coverage, which is consistent with the brand’s other shimmer shades, as they’re intended to be more medium in coverage (though they don’t do a great job of conveying that at the point of purchase). The consistency was smooth with creamy-gel feel and was comfortable to wear as it wasn’t tacky or heavy. The color went on fairly evenly without getting into my lip lines noticeably, but it could have been slightly more even in application along the inner area of my lips. It stayed on well for four and a half hours and was hydrating over time.

I was interested in Hot Love when I first saw these and this seals the deal. I’ll definitely be getting it. Do these have the minty taste of the original ones? Not tingly like a Buxom gloss… but I remember the sample I got of SPL was slightly minty tasting and I actually quite enjoyed that.
Yes, it’s exactly the same in terms of formula, scent, etc. as the rest of the line! 🙂
Wow, these are both beautiful. Hot Love is going directly to my WL.
Is it just me, or did you hit upon a run of real winners recently?
I think this is my reward for all those glitter gel eyeshadows ?
Just ordered Disco Queen! Love the colour!
