Lip Envy

It's the best I tried it on half ass in the store not knowing how good it was and I got it for my bday and its stays on all day and night I can believe how good this product is but then again it's UD we talking about and I am a U D junky lol over all I have no complaints and a little goes a long way and the stickiness goes away after a bit but I love this stain and I use it every day.

I have very vibrantly pink lips naturally, so I've always had a hard time finding a lip stain that actually changes the color of my lips. Until I met Lip Envy...

Urban Decay has never let me down in the past, so I went ahead and treated myself to both Envious and Greedy, without testing them first. Risky business! The first thing I noticed was the packaging. It. Was. LOVELY. These come in a little matte purple box, with a sort of varnish painted over in the shape of daggers. It creates a cool effect that you can only see in certain light. The color name was right on the top, stamped on a sticker that was the same color as the stain. I didn't have to pick up the box or open it to know what I was looking at. The bottles themselves are adorable little inkwells with the name on the bottom. They stand up really well, but I ended up stabbing myself with the applicator once or twice. Even better, the back of each bottle says cruelty free. This is a big one for me.

Let's start with Greedy... It's the darker of the two. The color payoff is ridiculous! It's such a beautiful color. I swiped it on and took a washcloth to my lips only a minute after applying... and the color stayed! Better yet, I didn't have to reapply the stain for 6 whole hours! And this was with regular application of lip balm.

Now on to Envious... This is the more pinkish of the two. It reminds me almost of a Barbie. This one had magnificent color payoff as well, but I found that it faded more than Greedy. This one only lasted about 3 hours (which is still amazing), and it feathered a little in my lips toward the end of the day. I think I prefer Greedy.

I do have a few issues with this product, but nothing too overwhelming. The doe-foot applicator I found to be a little too large and difficult to work with. I made a mess of my lips the first time I used this. However, with a steady hand and a little practice, I got used to the applicator. I suppose it's really the only one that would fit this sort of a product. The other problem I have is the stickiness. My lips felt like I had eaten candy immediately after application and the feeling didn't really go away until I put lip balm on. I don't like the feeling of "dirty lips."

Other than those two problems, I think this is a fantastic product and a must-have for anyone who loves Urban Decay!
