First off, HELLO FRIENDS!<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for all your kind words and concern and well wishes after that last post<\/a>. I truly appreciate it all and I hope never to have to repeat it! With that, I’m going to just get right back into the swing of things, because well, that’s the best way to go about it right?<\/p>\n

And what better way than to jump back than with a spot of colour. The Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks<\/strong> were launched a few months ago with a mind-boggling array of over 100 lipstick colours in 6 different textures. I don’t have them all, naturally. I wasn’t important enough to be seeded nor offered to try, but they interested me for one simple reason – they were actually pretty affordable.<\/p>\n

Well, I use the word “affordable” loosely, because it still is pricey at RM70 (US$17), just less so, compared to many new lipstick launches from all the major brands. I eventually scored 2 samples out of the whopping 120 shades available (I’m told that not all are available here yet – they’ll trickle in) in the Vice Lipstick range, that basically supersedes and revamps the whole Urban Decay lipstick lines.<\/p>\n

They have been out a while by now, and I’m sure that many of you already have tried it and have views on it, so you know the drill – let me know what you think \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Before I tell you about the product, I’m going to make one observation. I’m not crazy about the packaging, which brings to mind a bullet. In this age of irresponsible gun ownership, I am perturbed that a brand, even one who courts controversy like Urban Decay, would take this bold step to design their lipstick to mimic that of a bullet casing. I felt they should have been a little more responsible in this regard.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, the packaging, which has a metallic feel to it, is very light and a little flimsy. At those prices, I am not expecting the heft that comes with a Dior or Chanel, but it does surprise me how flimsy it feels. I almost feel like I can squash the cover, which has a light aluminium texture about it. In fact, the cover of one of mine is a little dented from travelling through the post – tells you about the construction.<\/p>\n

The 2 shades I was sent were 714 (Mega Matte)<\/strong> and Crush (Cream)<\/strong>. These were 2 textures out of the 6 available. The others are Comfort Matte, Sheer, Sheer Shimmer and Metalized. They are all permanent, and will replace all the ranges of Urban Decay lipsticks, so there is basically just one range, you just have to decide which texture you like.<\/p>\n

I am going to tell you off hand that my opinion of these Vice Lipsticks are a little prejudiced, because the shade I prefer isn’t a texture I like, and the texture I like isn’t a shade I’d normally wear! So, basically, I’m screwed as I’m not likely to continue using either \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
