Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani Lipsticks
Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani Firebird Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “deep fuchsia cream.” It’s a bold, bright, medium-dark fuchsia pink with strong, blue undertones and lighter fuchsia shimmer. It had semi-opaque color payoff–there is a noticeable translucency that will let the natural lip color come through, which may alter the way it looks depending on what your natural lip color is–that covered evenly and smoothly. The color wore well for five and a half hours on me and was hydrating while worn. Guerlain #888 (P, $36.00) is less shimmery, more muted (95% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Kingston (DC, $36.00) is less shimmery, darker, more muted (85% similar). ColourPop The Rabbit (P, $7.00) is lighter, less glossy (95% similar).

Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani 714 Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “bright red mega matte.” It’s a a bright, medium-dark red with warm, orange undertones and a flat, matte finish. The texture is incredibly dense and stiff in the tube, which makes it painful to apply as the color drags and skips on the lips. I would highly recommend taking the time to use a lip brush with this one to avoid agitating the lips during application, and it also combats the issue with the drier, thicker formula looking jagged along the edge. It had mostly opaque coverage and wore like iron (was still going strong after six hours), but I found it moderately drying over time. Urban Decay 714 (DC, $18.00) is lighter, more pigmented (95% similar). Milani Desire (LE, $8.99) is less glossy (95% similar). ColourPop Lullaby (LE, $6.00) is warmer (95% similar). Urban Decay 714 (P, $18.00) is darker (95% similar). Melt Cosmetics Miss Argentina (LE, $19.00) is darker (95% similar). MAC Leading Lady Red (LE, $18.00) is brighter, cooler, glossier (95% similar). Maybelline Siren in Scarlet (P, $7.99) is brighter (95% similar). MAC Von Teese (LE, $19.00) is darker (95% similar). ColourPop Fighter (LE, $7.00) is cooler (95% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Best Revenge (P, $55.00) is darker (95% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Nikita (Left) (LE, ) is warmer (90% similar). Hourglass Raven (P, $28.00) is brighter, warmer (90% similar). ColourPop Kismet (P, $7.00) is lighter (90% similar). NARS Total Domination (LE, $26.00) is warmer (90% similar). Too Faced Rebel Heart (P, $22.00) is darker, cooler (90% similar). NARS Lesbos (LE, $27.00) is more muted, cooler (90% similar). KVD Beauty Gold Blooded (DC, $21.00) is more shimmery, warmer (90% similar). MAC Starlett Scarlet (LE, $18.00) is warmer (90% similar). NARS Don't Stop (P, $26.00) is darker (90% similar). ColourPop Jingle (LE, $7.00) is darker (90% similar). Top 20 dupes listed, see the rest. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Firebird is really something, very eyecatching!
It’s very shimmery!
I wore it today- and I adore it! It is the most gorgeous color ever- I describe it as a purple cranberry with blue/pink shimmer 🙂
I love the formula; it’s not drying and lasted me through a messy salad and gelato lunch. For 18$ I would definitely invest in it- especially with the upcoming sephora sale. It’s a truly unique shade.
Ok, I’m going to have to ask you to stop reviewing these…now I’m up to 3 “must-haves”. OMG Firebird – wow! *wink*
Well, three out of eight is less than half. You’re doing well!
Clearly the start of a beautiful friendship 😉
OMG, Firebird, how pretty is that?
It is!
I LOVE firebird! I didn’t realize it had shimmer in it!
Yup! And plenty of it!
Firebird reminds me of Revlon Ultra HD Lacquer in Pink Ruby. 714 sounds like torture to apply, but the color is pretty, and it’s one of the few mattes that is actually matte!
714 is pretty painful to apply from the tube!
I think Firebird is a definite must-have, it’s such a gorgeous colour! I wouldn’t be surprised if it sold out quickly! Both colours look amazing on you, shame that 714 was not nice to apply.
Thanks, Claire!
Firebird is so incredibly 1980’s, but in a very good, fun way! Me and my bestie both used to wear shades like this one back then, so it’s kinda cool to see it trying to come back.
BUT; it’s 714 that’s got my undivided attention! Crazy since I already have Nars Cruella, MAC Damn Glamorous, Russian Red, etc. And Ruby Woo on my “Loves List” with MAC for a few years running! RW sounds to be a better formula from looking at their comparison grades, no?
Ruby Woo is a little less clingy, I think, especially newer tubes, which seem improved compared to a Ruby Woo from five years ago.
Firebird was my favorite out of the samples I got with the eye palette. I’m so glad the full-sized has such a good rating. I think 714 looks beautiful, but I’m passing on that ultra matte texture. Yuck.
Yay! How did you like the formula from the samples? Did it seem similar to Revolution?
I think Firebird is similar to Revolution formula. I thought it was really creamy. I thought Ex-Girlfriend was almost like a lipgloss or a glossy lip balm. Rock Steady was like a Sheer Revolution formula. I didn’t care for the ultra matte formula of 714 at all. It dragged so badly.
Oh, yes, that 714… that is certainly a matte that reminds me of old school mattes. I know some will love it, but it’s too drying for me!
I really like both of these colors and I don’t think either are dupes of anything I currently have. I may have to pull the trigger on both! But I’m glad the price is lower than the regular UD lipsticks, I feel like I’m getting a deal especially with the LE packaging!
It is nice that they are cheaper!
Firebird is AMAZING!
It is!
Firebird is stunning! Definitely the highlight of the collection. I can’t wait until it’s available.
It’s a very bright shade!
Firebird is probably my favorite! It’s gorgeous! I’m a little disappointed in the dryness of 714. I was hoping for a formula similar to UD’ s standard matte formula.
Reminds me of old school MAC Ruby Woo 🙁
In that case, I’ll be sticking with Plan A, and get new-school Ruby Woo!
Firebird was one of the samples in the eye palette. I fell in instant love. Can’t wait to get a whole tube!
It’s gorgeous!
I’m surprised Fireball worked out so well for you. I wore a sample of it that came in a recent UD purchase and it seriously dried out my lips, faded majorly, and flaked. I couldn’t decide whether I was disappointed it performed so poorly or grateful I could honor my New Year no buy.
Interesting! I didn’t get any samples, so this was the first time I’ve seen it or tried it. No problems on my end at all, though. I can’t even imagine it flaking, as it is a glossier formula, so I wonder what changed!
Was it an allergy to one of the ingredients, or just major drying? Sorry. It’s clearly the front runner. People had better jump on it; sounds like it will be the first sell out! It IS gorgeous.
Oh, I can’t take my eyes off of that FireBird swatch. Thanks for the informative post!
No problem, Chris! 🙂
I had my eye on Firebird, but if my TF Kingston is a slightly darker dupe (and it looks pretty bright on me) I think i will hold off on it!
Sounds like a plan! 🙂
Yay Firebird’s good!
It is!
I loved firebird the moment I laid my eyes on it. Your swatches just confirmed that I need it in my life. Sorry wallet, you lose this time.
LOL!
This collection is now available on urban decay Canada website. I just scooped up the blush palette and firebird lipstick. It took all my will power not to get wonderland, 714, and phone call.
Glad you were able to grab some stuff, Andrea!
That’s a hell no to the mega matte texture and a hellooooo to that gorgeous fuchsia!
UD has such a winner with their Matte Revolution, even if it’s not the FLATTEST MATTE EVER! but so much nicer to apply.
Oh, I love Firebird, that is my kind of color! And I don’t even have any close dupes — this should be fun 🙂 I’m going to check out the matching pencil, too. It’s too bad about 714, but it’s not a color that would work very well for me, anyway.
Yay! Firebird sounds perfect for you 🙂
The noise I just made at Firebird was borderline obscene.
lol!
Firebird! A winner for me, and a must have.
714 is very pretty, but I try to avoid drying lipsticks, I use them, but think I have enough. After reading the comments I understand that I have an old Ruby Woo, and it is quite drying, it’s a use for party or night out, then lipbalm 10 times, at least, a day for a week, to recover 🙂
LOL!
I like the lipsticks muuch better tha i like the lipliner formula. Naturally i could use lip liner much more than i could use a few more lipsticks lol
Yayy!
Ohhh my goodness…Just bought firebird by g.s. and i’ve had 3 compliments today already! Such a gorgeous colour and nobody is wearing it…but I’m having trouble finding a blush colour for it… just bronze is good? I have no idea…
Pink, plum, a rosy brown!
Ahh thanks Christine. I think I have 2/3 of those colours in my collection. I’ll try them out. Any chance you could recommend me a good rosy brown? (because I have no idea! haha)
here you go! I just pulled contenders that were permanent, some are rosier, some are browner — http://www.temptalia.com/swatches?compare=210304,193361,178706,161901,153283,140481,111337,108991,108990,108865,107936,97377,94126
Thanks again Christine! 😀
I’v received a sample lipstick palette, and 714 was my favorite out of 4. I was going to buy the product NOT because I was running out of it (We all know it’s not really easy to hit the bottom of sample eyeshadows/lipsticks), but because I was sick and tired of applying it with my brush. BUT if I have to apply it with the brush anyway, then I’d just stick with my sample palette for now. Thanks for the tip 😛
No problem!
