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

Birchbox Goodies // April 2019

I'm writing this having just watched the latest Game of Thrones episode so bear with - I'm a bit emotionally fragile right now! (If you haven't seen it yet you are in for 90 minutes of OH MY CHRIST) A little bit late with this month's Birchbox post; I've started back at school again so it's been a little bit crazy but I figured I'd get this out while I've still got 2 days of the month left! This month's box is inspired by the healing power of crystals and enhancing your natural glow from within. Now, I don't really believe in crystal healing but I am all about that inner glow (plus they're beautiful to look at) so I was pretty excited by this box design! This month, I received a Benefit POREfessional primer, an ESTATE highlighter, an eye mask from Vitamasques, a Human+Kind moisturiser and an eye cream from Balance Me. ESTATE Cosmetics Dew Me Baked Highlighter in "Afterglow" RRP £10 Ok, so I wasn't really looking forw...

Birchbox Goodies // May 2019

Does anyone else have a major urge to just spend the next few months sitting in the nearest beer garden or is that just me? Summer is well and truly making its return and for this month's Birchbox we're celebrating being able to spread our wings (although I wish those wings were taking me to a beach). In this box, I got a Lord & Berry eyeliner, a toner from Sukin, a Beautaniq mascara, a face sunscreen from Mimitika and a hair mask from Philip Kingsley. Lord & Berry Line/Shade Eye Pencil RRP £13 I'm pretty sure I've received one of these in a previous Birchbox and from what I remember, I liked this product then and I like it now! I don't really use black pencil liner unless I'm doing a dark smokey eye, in which case I'll use it to line my bottom lashline. This one is pretty pigmented and also smudges out really nicely so it ticks all the boxes for what I look for in a product like this. I do think the price tag is a little expensive though, ...
