Lipstick Lover: Urban Decay

With the fall season approaching, one of the things that I love to do is wear bolder/darker shades of lipstick.  You may have noticed that lately I have been wearing a different shade in almost every post.  Since I received the fall collection of Urban Decay's Revolution lipsticks, I wanted to start trying them out as soon as possible.  Here are 4 shades that I am absolutely loving at the moment for fall! 








Top Left: SHAME 

This one is a deep berry with subtle hints of brown shimmer.  Even though it's dark, it goes on lighter than what you would expect.  I absolutely love the color, but when putting it on I did notice that it was a little streaky.  It seemed as though I had to apply a little more than normal to make sure that it looked even.  However, I didn't have any issues after wearing it and I think I am putting it on again today!



Top Right: VENOM 

This is a bright plum with a violet and fuchsia shimmer.  It has more of a purple tint than Shame.  I had it on for several hours and it left a stain so I didn't have to keep applying.  As much as I love my reds, I really loved wearing this purple shade with my all black outfit.  Purple just might be the new red next season when it comes to lipstick, at least for me.  



Bottom Left: F-BOMB

This is a classic shade of red that has replaced my previous favorites, MAC Russian Red & Ruby Woo. I can't even believe I am saying that because I have been obsessed with those 2 shades for the longest time, but it's the truth.  I wore this all day and not once did it smear or come off.  Even at the end of the day my lips were still stained with red which proves how intense the pigmentation is in this entire collection.  Wearing a bold red like this tends to scare off some girls because they don't want it to get messy during the day while they're out eating/drinking etc.  But you don't have to worry about that with this one! 




Bottom Right: 69

This is a bright red but it has a pink undertone so it's not as bold/deep as F-Bomb.  It has a creamy finish which I loved because it gives it that "glossy" look.  It lasted for hours and also left a stain behind.  I didn't have any issues with eating or drinking while wearing it.  I think it's a great shade when you want to wear red but don't want something that's too dark or bold.  


Which one is your favorite?
