Hey everyone! I hope you're all having a fantastic Summer Holidays, the weather here in Scotland has turned on us and been replaced by constant cloud and rain at the moment which has meant that we've retreated indoors these last few days.
I've done a very similar post to this before where I compared these Urban Decay lipsticks to my YSL ones but I had surgery 3 days ago to remove 3 impacted wisdom teeth and have since been in bed all day so I really want to do another swatch and review post of the lipsticks just so I'm actively spending time putting into this blog whilst I'm recovering. I would ideally like to do a post a day for you all!
So these are definitely my favourite lipsticks of all time after the YSL rouge volupte. I would say I prefer the texture of these lipsticks more because it doesn't feel as slidey and feels like it will stay put all day.
The packaging on these is just beautiful as well, when it comes to lipsticks I'm a magpie for the shiny packaging and these look so sleek, the only thing I hate is that there is no indication on the packaging what the colour inside is so I need to store them upside down to read the name off the bottom.
So the 4 lipsticks I have are Venom, Shame, Bang and Native, a pretty diverse bunch of colours...
Native is by far one of my favourite nude lipsticks, I like the YSL number 1 in nude beige and I also love MAC Myth but the texture of this is just perfect. The YSL is very creamy and the Mac feels extremely heavy on the lips and this is the perfect medium.
Infact, Urban Decay lipsticks as a whole have an amazing texture. Bang is one of my favourite orange/red shades and when I want a dark autumnal lip shame and venom are my favourites to wear. What I love about these lipsticks as well is that they aren't glittery which is a pet peeve of mine when it comes to lipstick, these aren't exactly matte lipsticks but they're glossy without being too sticky.
I've had to swatch these on my hands and not my lips because my face is so swolen but I think you can get a good idea how the shades appear in both natural light and under the flash.
I can't mention the lipsticks without also talking about the Urban Decay 24/7 lip pencils which are in my opinion some of the best lip liners out there, they are extremely creamy and I feel they glide onto my lips with absolutely no problem.
The beige colour you see swatched at the very bottom of my hand has been a favourite of mine for the last few weeks whilst at work and I haven't had to top it up once because they are so durable.I definitely want to invest in a red lipliner for myself because I feel it's the only one I really need to get a hold of, the good thing about these lip liners is that they are general colours that can be used with many different coloured lipsticks.
So those are my 4 Urban Decay lipsticks, today I got my 5 NYX macaron lippies in the post so I'll take pictures of those tomorrow and do a post on them and I also want to review and do a few looks with my electric palette.
Hopefully if my face has shrank down a bit tomorrow I'll be able to swatch some on my lips, if not I'll try and put it off a few days.
