Urban Decay x Kristen Leanne Vice Lipstick Review and Swatches

Urban Decay has partnered with beauty influencer Kristen Leanne on a brand spankin’ new collection. I’ll be sharing swatches and reviews on the products, starting with three of the Vice Lipsticks. There are three regular lipsticks, and three liquid lipsticks that are only available at Ulta and UrbanDecay.com (not pictured here). They are all mattes – five are comfort mattes and one is a mega matte.

The packaging for the entire collection is gorgeous. It’s all pinks and purples, with lots of fun textures and text that looks like a neon sign. The outer packaging is made from see-through pink plastic. I can tell that they spent a lot of time on creating these.

Let’s take a closer look at the Vice Lipsticks ($17 each): Bun Bun, Cloud9 and Spellbound.

You can see that the first two are creamy and easy to apply, while the last one (Spellbound) is a bit patchy. If you have a darker skin tone, you could either apply it more sparingly (so it’s more sheer), or if you’re a pale girl like me, you’d probably want to use a dark lip pencil underneath.

First up is Bun Bun (comfort matte). That is Kristen’s nickname for her pet rabbit, Brixton, and I know you beauty bunnies will love that she has a bunny! This is my favorite – a neutral nude lipstick with a slightly cool tone. It’s darker than a nude on me, but definitely wearable. It reminds me of Fuel from the Naked Heat collection, but definitely cooler and slightly darker.

Next we have Cloud9 (comfort matte). It’s a bright magenta plum shade that is getting a lot of oohs and ahhs on social. I think it will be gorgeous on the right person, but it’s too bright for my personal taste. It’s a really pretty color though, and if you can pull it off, I think it will be stunning!

Finally there’s Spellbound (mega matte). It’s a deep plum/wine shade, and I’m just not on board with it. You can probably see from my hand swatch and my lip swatch that it’s pretty patchy. I don’t think I look great in wine or dark shades like this, and I find them hard to work with. If you are going to rock it, I’d recommend using a dark lip pencil to get a more even look (and to prevent feathering if you have dry skin like I do at the moment).

What do you think of these? Will you be picking one up? Stay tuned for more reviews and swatches on the Kaleidoscope Dream eyeshadow palette, Beauty Beam highlight palette, and the Daydream eyeshadow palette.
