Urban Decay Tantric Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “light nude-pink [with a Sheer finish].” It’s a light-medium, pinky-peach with a luminous sheen. It had semi-opaque color coverage, but it applied unevenly and settled into lip lines from the get-go. The consistency was lightly creamy and balm-like, but I just couldn’t keep the color in place. This shade lasted for two and a half hours on me and was lightly hydrating. Chanel Olga (422) (P, $37.00) is warmer (95% similar). Chanel Intime (93) (P, $37.00) is warmer (95% similar).

Urban Decay Lovelight Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “pale peach with pink shimmer [with a Sheer Shimmer finish].” It’s a light-medium pinky-coral with warm undertones and fine, gold shimmer. It had semi-sheer color coverage with a thin, balm-like consistency that “melted” as it warmed up against the lips, but initially, it had a firmer feel against the lips. I felt like the thinner texture emphasized my lip lines, though. The color wore werll for three hours and was lightly hydrating overall. Tom Ford Beauty Lara (LE, $36.00) is lighter (90% similar).

Urban Decay Ex-Girlfriend Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “nude-rose with pink shimmer [with a Sheer finish].” It’s a light-medium, peachy-brown with warm undertones and a fine gold shimmer-sheen finish. It had sheer color coverage, which just seemed to darken and warm-up my natural lip color–I expect this will vary a lot from person to person due to the sheerness of it. The color lasted for three hours on me, but it was lightly moisturizing. It seemed to have slightly more pigmentation than the one in the Gwen Stefani release.

Urban Decay Hitch Hike Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “brick rose [with a Comfort Matte finish].” It’s a medium-dark rosy plum with warm undertones and a creamy finish. It had rich color payoff with a very smooth, creamy consistency that glides onto lips and just makes lips look plumper. This shade wore well for five and a half hours and was lightly hydrating. Estee Lauder Bois de Rose (P, $32.00) is darker, cooler (90% similar). Laura Mercier Cozy (P, $24.00) is brighter (90% similar). Urban Decay Hitch Hike (P, $19.00) is darker (90% similar).

Urban Decay Amulet Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “metallic brick rose [with a Metallized finish].” It’s a muted, medium-dark plummy brown with warm undertones and a metallic shimmer-sheen finish. It had nearly opaque coverage–which isn’t as common with the Metallized finish–that went on evenly. The consistency was lightly creamy, not too slippery, and sat well on the lips. This shade wore well for five hours and was lightly hydrating. Estee Lauder Dark Desire (P, $32.00) is less shimmery, darker (95% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Blake (LE, $36.00) is warmer (90% 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.
