URBAN DECAY Revolution Lipstick SHAME:Quick Review



Ladies today I will be quickly reviewing the UD Revolution Lipstick in SHAME.  I seen so many YouTube gurus and makeup artist raving on Instagram that I just had to see for myself if these lipsticks were worth all the noise they were making ;) . I purchased mine on the Sephora Website. 

UD Revolution Lipstick is described (on the box) as:
"CREAMY, BADASS LUXURY. Our Pigment Infusion System delivers insane color payoff with creamy shine, Maxi-Lip plumps and nourishing oils leave lips cushiony soft."
So after looking at reviews and pictures online of these lippies I decided to go with the color I found the most fall appropriate which in my opinion was SHAME a "deep berry".


Interesting Facts

"Urban Decay’s Pigment Dispersion System™ gives Revolution Lipstick its super creamy texture, intense pigmentation, superior color dispersion, and extended wear. Maxi-Lip™ defines and hydrates lips while making them look plumper and fuller. And a nourishing blend of jojoba oil, avocado oil, cocoa butter and Shea butter keeps lips super moisturized and cushiony soft."
It is formulated PARABENS, SULFATES AND PHTHALATES FREE.

Over All Rating

So I do feel that when it comes to this product I might have a bit of a biased opinion because I am more of a matte lipstick kind of gal. The lipstick itself is GOOD. The pigmentation is superb specially taking into consideration that similar products that are as hydrating as this lipstick are very sheer. The color range is a bit limited (20 shades) but this is a fairly new product. So I tested this lipstick on its own no lip liner or primer it applied smoothly. It lasted on my lips for about 5 hours. Main problem I had with this lipstick it was a bit messy, it  feathered. So as I mentioned earlier, that is the reason that I said I am a little biased I usually gear towards mattes because they stay put and are very long wearing. I personally give this lipstick a 7/10. For $22 a piece I do feel that is a bit over priced but its simply because I didn't fall in love with the lipstick.
I do believe that this lipstick would work perfectly for those who love a moisturizing lipstick with superior color payoff.  It is formulated with a nourishing blend of jojoba oil, avocado oil, cocoa butter and Shea butter keeps lips super moisturized and cushiony soft. As for myself I might give other more forgiving shades like a neutral pink or nude a chance and see if I enjoy it better, ill keep you ladies posted :).

So that completes this review gals.

Until Next Time... Have An Amazing Day!

URBAN DECAY Chill Makeup Setting Spray: Review




Hey Beauties : D . So today I' m doing a review on the Urban Decay Chill Make up Setting Spray. What it is described as (on the box) :
Stop makeup meltdown. CHILL features cooling time-release Temperature Control Technology that actually chills the surface of your makeup - to keep it looking gorgeously just-applied for up to 12 hours. Perfect for drier or combination skin, CHILL mists on to keep makeup from smudging or setting into fine lines. The result? Vibrant makeup that LASTS and a glowing, dewy youthful complexion
 Directions: Shake Well. Apply. Hold the bottle "8-10" away and mist face 2-4 times, in an "X" and "T" formation. 
 IN A 7-DAY CLINICAL STUDY OF CHILL:
  • Over 83% of participants said CHILL helped their makeup lasts for 12 hours without smudging or settling into fine lines.
  • 94% said CHILL kept their makeup looking just-applied.
  • 88% said their concealer, foundation, shadow, and blush lasted longer too!
Formulated:
OIL FREE. PARABEN FREE. TEMPERATURE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY. 

So does it do what it promises to do?  

I have been trying out the CHILL Makeup Setting Spray every time I do my makeup for the past 5 Weeks... & ladies I'm in Love! It most definitely prolongs the longevity of my makeup and works amazing on my combination skin. It keeps it looking fresh for 10+ hours I've never tested it for the full 12 Hrs it promises but 10-11 I have and my makeup looked great. I noticed it worked best with my Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H foundation which is already a great long lasting foundation as is, but it usually is gone in my nose area at the end of a long day, with a primer and all but not this time. No touch ups and was still perfect.\

It worked great on my MAC MATCHMASTER  foundation as well. It prolonged the longevity of the foundation and kept my face looking intact as if I had just finished applying it.

I also loved that if I happened to over powder it most definitely got rid of the powdery look.
Now it does say that it gives a dewy finish but the foundations I use and applied it over are both matte so once I applied, it didn't give me a dewy look, but more of a natural finish which I really enjoyed sometimes my face can look a little too matte when my foundation is freshly applied and the setting spray got rid of that.

There is one small con but its super tiny and it is the fact that the white bottle is made of a material that gets dirty easily... hint hint.. that is why I didn't post a picture of what my bottle currently looks like.

Pricing: 4.0  US fl oz for $29


Overall Rating:

I'm a big fan of the UD CHILL Makeup Setting Spray and I don't see myself trying any other setting spray for a long time. It is simply fantastic. Is it worth the splurge? YES! In my opinion it was. I give this setting spray a 10/10. I have actually tried the UD All Nighter Setting Spray before and I liked it but I really did love this one. It did everything that the back of the box said it would LOL ;). Prolonged the longevity of the makeup. Prevented any fading, smudging, moving of the makeup. Kept the face looking like the "beat down" was freshly done lol ;p. I also want to add that it does have a cooling "chill" effect when applied which can be very refreshing on a warm summer day.
 So that completes my post for today gals.

Until Next Time... Have an Amazing Day!
