Urban Decay Naked Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss ($20.00 for 0.13 fl. oz.) is a new (and permanent) formula that’s launching this spring. The range has nine shades, and the formula is supposed to be hydrating, comfortable to wear, high-gloss, and creamy. They have a light, creamy consistency that spreads easily over lips and doesn’t feel tacky for the most part (it gets just a wee bit tacky towards the end of wear). The wear time is typically between three and four hours, depending on the shade. The formula is comfortable to wear and nicely hydrating. A few shades did not apply as evenly as I’d like, as a few settled into lip lines or looked uneven/streaky. Urban Decay touts that these are like a “luxe gloss” and lip balm in one, and it really does feel like the shinier, slightly thicker lip balms (the ones commonly found in tubes, versus the stick-type). There was no discernible taste, but it had a sweet mint scent to me.

Beso is described as a “deep pink-mauve.” It’s a muted pink-plum with neutral-to-cool undertones and a creamy finish. Applied, it had semi-sheer to semi-opaque color coverage and goes on evenly, smoothly, and easily. It wore well for four hours on me. Giorgio Armani #524 (P, $29.00) is cooler-toned. Urban Decay Flushed (P, $19.00) is slightly pinker. NARS Oasis (P, $25.00) is more shimmery. NARS Dolce Vita (P, $25.00) is more opaque. See comparison swatches.

Freestyle is described as a “brown-nude with subtle micro-shimmer.” It’s a warm-toned, peachy-brown with peach and gold micro-shimmer. It had semi-sheer color coverage and a fair amount of micro-shimmer, which was never noticeable (no grit or texture from the shimmer), and it applied evenly for the most part. It wore well for three and a half hours. Revlon Peach (P, $7.49) is very similar. MAC Hot Spell (LE, $15.00) is browner, more pigmented. MAC Deliciously Demure (LE, $15.00) is more shimmery. MAC Sublime Shine (LE, $20.00) is similar. MAC Satin Slip (LE, $20.00) is sparklier. Bobbi Brown Beach (P, $24.00) See comparison swatches.

Liar is described as a “soft mauve pink.” It’s a medium, muted pink with subtle warm undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-sheer color payoff with some translucency that allowed the natural lip color to come through. It applied evenly overall and didn’t settle into lip lines too noticeably (especially not at a normal viewing distance). The gloss lasted for three hours. Maybelline Caramel Infused (065) (P, $8.99) is very comparable. Tom Ford Beauty Sugar Pink (P, $45.00) is cooler-toned. Urban Decay Obsessed (P, $19.00) is lighter. MAC Razzledazzler (LE, $15.00) is lighter. Chanel Nakkar (P, $29.50) has a slight shimmer. See comparison swatches.

Those look like my kind of lipglosses. So plump and moisturizing. I hope UD does a sampler set of these in the future like they do with their eyeliners.

Do you know if these will be replacing the lip junkie glosses? Would be a shame as they’re my favourite gloss. Also from these it seems that Freestyle is closest to Midnight Cowboy (my favourite) from the lip junkie range, would you say that’s accurate?

At first I thought these were lipstick and got really excited. They’re still gorgeous shades, but I can’t remember the last time I shelled out for a lip gloss. I’m not a gloss person to begin with and I’ve found lots of great inexpensive options (namely from NYX), so paying for high end prices usually isn’t worth it for me

Some people like their sheer glosses, while others like their opaque glosses. They have their Lip Junkie range, which is very sheer, and a lot of people seem to like that, so my guess is it’s for customers that buy from that range 🙂 I don’t think anyone needs all the shades since they look alike on, though I’m sure some will see even the slightest difference and it will be enough for them, and that’s just fine with me!

If you buy one of these on the Urban Decay website you get free shipping. I just purchased 2 got free shipping and a free travel size De Slick. I hope this helps.

Good morning, gorgeous Christine! Just thought I’d give a head’s up regarding the TBA size of the glosses. I just purchased mine and the UD website describes them as containing 4 ml/0.13 fl oz. which, in my opinion, is a shame considering it’s less than half the size as the Lip Junkies. Kind of a steep product-to-price ratio in my book, but if the formula is worth it I’ll def be willing to give it a try!

Christine Avatar

Thanks, Andrew! That is really good to know (I didn’t get any boxes with my glosses, just the actual tubes, and the sticker on the bottom just had the name, no oz.!). I agree that 0.13 oz. is low for a gloss, period, whether relative to Lip Junkies or not – I will say that Lip Junkies and any tube gloss tend to be a lot larger. e.g. MAC Lipglass is 0.17 fl. oz., and then glosses from Dior, Chanel, etc. are usually around 0.20 fl. oz.

I just bought Naked and Beso today. It was an ‘accidental’ purchase because I had no intention of buying these glosses and somehow bought them anyway. Except, I am so glad I did because they are both perfect.
