Urban Decay Vice Lipstick "Morning After" Review

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in "Morning After"


*New favourite lipstick alert* 

 This lipstick is seriously giving me life right now! I bought it a couple of weeks ago and since then I've been constantly reaching for it. It's part of the Vice lipsticks collection from Urban
Decay, which comes in 100 different shades and 6 different finishes (Comfort Matte, Cream, Metallized, Sheer, Sheer Shimmer and Mega Matte) and they're priced at £15. This one is from the Sheer range, it's a light nude shade that's more on the pink side. What I really love about is how buildable it is in terms of colour; one coat and you just get that really subtle, pink sheen to your lips or you can build it up into a super-glossy pink look! The only bad thing I can say about it is that they haven't made this shade in the matte finish because it would be so perf! (I think the closest you'll get in this finish is "Backtalk")

First Impressions



So this lipstick is really creamy; it's got a really lovely buttery feel to it so it literally just glided onto my skin when I did the swatch. According to Urban Decay's website it's full of Aloe Vera, Jojoba, Avocado and Babassu oils, all of which are going to be really nourishing for your lips. I tend to get quite dry lips, especially when I'm at work because of our air-conditioning, so it's great knowing I will be able to wear this most days without worrying about what condition my lips will be in at the end of it! You can also really see that lovely glossy sheen and I was quite impressed with how pigmented one coat was; I'd happily wear just that shade without having to add any more colour!

How It Looked


Oh it's just so pretty *insert heart-eye emoji here*! Super glossy, super creamy and that colour is gorgeous! I used a couple of coats here, which did make it really shiny, so it almost looked like a gloss rather than a sheer lipstick. I had it on for the whole day at work and while I did re-apply after my lunch, it probably would have lasted a lot longer without it. I could still feel it on my lips although the colour had faded slightly, but one quick coat and it was back! Like I said before, my only complaint is that there's no matte finish in this shade but as I'm so impressed with it I may head back and see exactly how similar "Backtalk" is.

 Rating - 5/5

Why I Came Off The Pill // Honesty Time

I wasn't 100% sure if I was going to write about coming off The Pill or not. I personally think that a lot of people, especially women, feel that they can't talk about contraception and the effects it has openly. I recently read a blog by Alex Jones (her Instagram account is @alexgracejones if you'd like to have a look) which pretty much convinced me to write this. As Alex says in her blog, contraception is a conversation I've had with friends so many times, and yet outside of those circles, you don't really hear anyone speak about it. Personally, as a woman, I've always felt it's pretty much been up to me to make sure I don't get pregnant, whether that's taking hormonal contraception or using a condom. It seems odd to me then, that there aren't many women out there talking openly about their contraception, so I think it's time we changed this! I originally went on The Pill when I was 17 because my periods were really irregular and very h...

The Cherry On Top // Urban Decay Naked Cherry Palette Review

Wow I'm actually sitting down to review something that isn't a Birchbox 😂 I've been meaning to write this post since October when I got this palette, but as usual school and other life stuff have meant it's taken until now to do! RRP £42 This palette originally launched in September as a new instalment of Urban Decay's Naked series. I was really excited by it, as it's very different to all of the other Naked palettes out there and I'm a sucker for anything remotely pink-toned. It retails for £42, making it one of the more expensive palettes in the Naked series, and inside are 12 beautiful berry-toned shades: Hot Spot - a matte ivory shade. I always use these for setting my eyeshadow primer and as a browbone highlight shade. Caution - a neutral matte beige. Bang Bang - a pink shimmer. Feelz - a dusty rose matte shade. Juicy - a peachy pink matte. This is a great transition shade. Turn On - a gorgeous rose-gold metallic shade. Ambitio...
