I love Urban Decay. And when their Vice lipsticks came out I was extremely excited. Pinks, purples, neutrals, red, berry, blues and black; 100 shades of beautiful lipsticks. Where is one to begin? However when I went to do my research I discovered there were not too many swatches of the lipsticks shown. And that was when the lipsticks first came out. To this day, the swatches that I find are swatches on someone’s arm. You cannot tell what a lipstick looks like if it is placed on the arm. The best way to test a lipstick is on the lips. So I took 15 of my favorite lipsticks and tried them on so you can be the judge. They are as follows:
So what did you think? Any favorites? Some that you dislike? For me, when I was trying on the lipsticks, I discovered that the shades of blue and black were not the best colors for me. But the pinks, purples and some reds looked good. I found that the lipsticks were not drying and lasted long. Although I did need to reapply after eating. But I figured that after you eat you have to reapply, and that goes for a majority of the lipsticks on the market.
The Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks retail for $17.00. They may be purchased at www.urbandecay.com; Sephora and ULTA.

You are right, lipstick swatches on arm is really hard to judge and I much prefer to see how the lipstick is on lips so thank you for that, Erica! I can’t choose, I honestly love them all.
