Bun Bun
Urban Decay Bun Bun Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium,, plummy brown with warm undertones and a cream finish. It had opaque color payoff in a single layer, and the texture was lightly creamy, smooth, and thick enough to help fill in lip lines rather than accentuate them, but it did not feel heavy applied. This shade stayed on well for five hours and was lightly hydrating.

Formula Overview
$18.00/0.11 oz. - $163.64 Per Ounce
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. I didn't notice any scent or taste. 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.

Cloud9
Urban Decay Cloud9 Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a brighter, medium purple with warm undertones and a satin finish. The color payoff was opaque in a single stroke, but the texture seemed a bit thinner and less smoothing compared to other shades with the same Comfort Matte finish (that I’ve tried in the past). The lipstick applied evenly and did not tug during application. It wore well for five and a half hours, left a strong stain behind, and was neither drying nor hydrating.

Spellbound
Urban Decay Spellbound Vice Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a blackened plum with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It was slightly drier and did tug slightly when I applied it directly from the tube, though it wasn’t bad enough to be painful. It applied decently but could have went on more evenly and yielded greater color coverage. There was some slip to it that gave it a slight sheen and made it ahrder to apply to the inner area of my lower lip. On me, it lasted for six hours, left a stain behind, and was somewhat drying.

These are so pretty. I ordered Cloud9. I was really tempted by BunBun, but I always go for rosy browns like that, so I figured I should skip it.
Interesting choice of colours for this range – I am not sure that these shades will flatter many but at least the ratings are really good.
I had to laugh when I saw just how many dupes I own for Cloud9, and that this is the shade that my immediately caught my eye! The good news? None of my dupes are as glossy or creamy looking! Hmm…?
Spellbound is an absolutely beautiful shade in spite of its not applying in a very comfortable manner! I love it!
I like Mac Whirl a lot but I like this one better, it has an appealing sheen to it and it being lightly hydrating is always a plus.
I was talking about Bun Bun of course.
Spellbound is nice as is Cloud9. I have black truffle somewhere around here in matte crayon form I think.
I’m so surprised by how much I like Bun Bun!! Looks very pretty on you!
