Urban Decay's Revolution Lipstick in 'Rush'

I've been on a complete lipstick binge lately. I picked up Urban Decay's Revolution Lipstick in the shade 'Rush' a few weeks back and more recently one of the infamous YSL Rouge Volupté lippies (swoon). I'd been wanting to see what all the fuss was about in regards to the UD range and let me tell you, they certainly live up to the hype.







Just a heads up - it photographs much more 'nude' than it looks in RL.
 
First of all, how darn cool is the packaging? I know it won't be to everybody's taste but I'm a huge fan of the gun metal casing. 'Rush' is a pink/mauve/nude shade; I have super pigmented lips so it appears much darker on me in real life than it does in the photo but it still sits in the 'your lips but better' category. I'm really fair so I struggle to find a 'nude' lipstick that won't completely wash me out.. but this does the job perfectly. In all honesty, I could have picked a more 'interesting' shade but living hours away from an UD counter means that I have to rely on finding swatches and reviews online.That being said, it's still a pretty shade for everyday wear -
    and every girl needs a good neutral in their collection.
What really makes this range stand out for me is the formula; they are uber-pigmented and creamy. I was pretty taken aback on first application - and being a lipstick obsessive, that doesn't happen often! I'll definitely be trying out some more lippies from this range, although I think I'll be opting for some more exciting shades next time. I've already got my eye on 'Anarchy' and 'Turn On'.

Have you tried any other shades from this range?

  1. I just bought Lovelight and it's a gorgeous nude peach that doesn't wash me out! I love it! However, it's not as pigmented as the other shades. I think I'm going to have to try out a darker shade and see :)
    Great post!
