Hasty Beauty Blog: full frontal lipstick stash

Hello!

It's that time of the year when our favorite beauty stores are flooded with holiday kits. And of course Urban Decay has created a beautiful lipstick stash for us lipstick crazed maniacs to purchase. This set includes six gorgeous shades. Some are limited edition and others are part of their permanent line. You can purchase it online from Sephora, Ulta and Urban Decays website for $39.00. Which I think is a great value considering a full sized lip pencil comes with the stash and they're $20 alone!

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This limited-edition set contains minis of three exclusive NEW shades—Ladyflower (bright rose-pink), Crush (inspired by one of our most-coveted Super-Saturated Lip Color shades) and Illicit (sheer baby pink)—plus three mini bestsellers (including Gash!). It even includes a full-size 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil in Ozone, our bestselling clear shade. Ozone holds color in place, prevents feathering, and fixes mistakes—yet it’s totally invisible on your lips.

Pigmentation

Ladyflower is a bright rose-pink. This has to be my favorite shade out of the kit. Urban Decay needs to make this a pernament color! The pigmentation for this shade is definitely considered full coverage. And One layer is good enough for a beautiful rosy pout.

Crush is a bright BRIGHT pink lipstick. This shade seriously packs some major pigmention! I can just lightly touch my lips with this lipstick and I already have enough color for my personal preference.

Illicit is a sheer baby pink. The pigmentation is ok but we have to keep in mind that it's meant to be sheer. So I guess the real answer is the pigmention is good for that lipstick. It would be a great shade for the shy lipstick wearers. It leaves behind a soft baby pink color on the lips with a very nice sheen.

Gash is a deep red shade. This gorgeous shade has very opaque coverage.

Liar is a pinky brown nude lipstick shade. This lipstick is probably my new favorties nude color. The pigmentation is off the walls and I can't get over how beautiful this shade is!

F-Bomb is a Classic cool red shade. This shade should win an award for best classic red lipstick. Everything about this color is perfect, including the pigmentation.

Lasting power

All of the lipsticks, excluding Illicit, last on me for about 5 hours. Illicit lasted for about 3 to 4 hours. It's probably because it's a more sheer lipstick. I did eat with all of the lipsticks on. I didn't use any napkins because any lipstick would come of with a napkin. But overall they stayed on and the colors were still vibrant.

Application/ consistency

This lipstick stash is such a steal. Every single lipstick is super duper creamy,easy to apply and pretty much my new favorite formula. If we learned about lipstick as kids in school, Urban Decays lipstick would be the first lipsticks we would learn about. They are so easy to use that a kindergartner could use them! If I had to choose the best lipstick from the stash, it's would be Liar. Not based from the color of the shade or how pigmented it is but by the mesmerizing creaminess of this lipstick. This lipstick is the exact example of the phrase "it glides on like a dream".

Packaging

The lipstick stash is housed in a cardboard palette. The palette does snap closed with the help of magnets. If you're familiar with the regular lipsticks from Urban Decay, the lipstick tube looks like the larger tubes but smaller(obviously haha).

Overall thoughts

Even though the lipsticks are really tiny, I think the price tag is justified. This stash is a great way to try out Urban Decays lipsticks and the only way to snatch up the limited edition shades. It's also a great way to try out new colors if your shy to when it comes to lipstick. You really can't go wrong with this lipstick set. And like I said before, the full sized lip pencil is $20 anyways. So why not buy the set while you're at it? These beautiful and creamy lipsticks are a must have in EVERYONES collection. Big or small.
