A set so good I got two: one for a friend and one for myself :).
I wanted to try these lipsticks for a while but in all honesty, lately I’ve been feeling like my makeup collection (especially lipsticks!) was getting out of control and that I don’t really get to use everything I own. Then, I saw this set, got one for a friend and couldn’t resist but pick one for myself as well.
The Urban Decay Full Frontal Reloaded Vice Lipstick Stash comes with lip products worth $101.00 and sells for $59.00 (on sale for $36.00 at Ulta and Urban Decay right now!). It contains five lipsticks in different formulas and finishes and a lip primer pencil.
Here’s what Urban Decay says about this Full Frontal Reloaded Vice Lipstick Stash:

What I love:
-this stash has an amazing value. Each of these lipsticks sells at $17.00 and the Ultimate Ozone Multi Purpose Lip Primer is $18.00, so it’s a $101.00 value at $59.00
-the set comes with a nice range of colors
-they also come in different finishes so you can test out the formulas
-the Ozone Multi Purpose Lip Primer included here is also pretty amazing and will make your lipstick last much longer
-most of these are really pigmented and the packaging is beautiful
-the formulas are very comfortable to wear
What I don’t love:
-there really isn’t much not to love about this set, but I do think that the packaging can be a little misleading as some of the shades look nothing when applied (or even swatched on skin) as they do on the packaging.
Seismic– this has a sheer shimmer finish and is said to be plum-purple with red shimmer. I didn’t see a whole lot of shimmer in this one. It turned out to be a lot more sheer than I expected and felt more like a glossy lip balm than a lipstick. It did look nice when layered on, but sheer lippies just aren’t my thing. This formula was a bit too slippery for my liking, but I think it would work nicely for me in a different shade.
Gash– this has a cream formula- a wine red with some tonal shimmer. This is one of the shades that looked completely different than it did on the packaging. I was expecting something more brown, nevertheless, it is a beautiful shade that’s nicely pigmented and pretty long-lasting.
Big Bang– this one has metalized finish. It’s a raspberry pink with some bright sparkle. It has glitter, but it isn’t too chunky or texturized. It wears very comfortably and feels a bit hydrating on lips which is nice, and is pretty long-lasting as well.
Snitch– sheer finish. It’s a pale, coral pink. The formula really is sheer and it applied a little patchy, but looked fine when layered on. It’s one of those formulas that tends to settle in lines so unless your lips are well-hydrated, it wouldn’t look very flattering. This one was also probably one of the least long-lasting lippies from the bunch. I think that this shade will be beautiful in Spring/Summer.
1993– comfort matte finish and my favorite shade and formula out of all of these. It’s a medium brown with warm undertones. Very cream and lightweight formula and despite having a matte finish, it wears very comfortably. Gorgeous shade!
The Urban Decay Full Frontal Reloaded Vice Lipstick Stash is a great set, especially if, like me, you wanted to give a few of these a try. It’s a great value and I’m very impressed with most of these formulas (comfort matte is my favorite) and definitely will be picking up some individual ones.
