URBAN DECAY HI-FI SHINE ULTRA CUSHION LIP GLOSS {REVIEW}

Some time ago I bought several Urban Decay products and I have slowly been reviewing them over the past few months.

This is my final product from that recent haul and again I've been blown away

by how impressed I have been with each and every product that I bought.

My Urban Decay Haul

What I've experienced over the years is that I perhaps love some products from a brand

and then I find some that hugely disappoint,but so far this hasn't

happened with Urban Decay and I'm sure they've got some weaker products

lurking in their product lineup.

As I've said in my previous reviews Urban Decay is for all ages and I'm proof of that and whilst UD, isn't budget in price it has delivered on product performance

and just as important, its been so enjoyable to use. So if you want to know what products I highly recommend then check out my full reviews.

To read my Urban Decay reviews

I do love a good Lip Gloss and the HI-FI Shine Ultra Cushion Lip Gloss appealed

to me instantly.

Laced with vitamin E and peppermint oil, the hydrating formula leaves lips feeling nourished, has an immediate plumping effect and comes in a yummy vanilla-mint flavour.

This gloss is super comfortable to wear and doesn't have a sticky or tacky feel to it

which so many lip glosses can have.

Unfortunately as we age, the lines around our mouth become deeper and more noticeable and the last thing we need is a feathering, bleeding lipstick or lip gloss that draws attention to the mouth area,

so good news... this one doesn't do either, but what it does do is

instantly makes those thinning lips feel plumper.

There are 22 shades to chose from and covers everything from blaring brights

to soft neutrals in four different effects—metallic, holographic, cream and sheer cream.

I must say some colours and the effects are way out there

for the more mature of us, whilst other shades are just perfect.

I opted for the shade BACKTALK to compliment my BACKTALK palette

and it was right up my "Lipstick Street".

(cream formula, not super glossy, perfect shade)

It's described as a Mauve-nude pink and even though its richly pigmented the longevity can't be compared to my Vice Cream Lipstick, but as far as lip glosses fair,

it made me Urban Decay happy...

I must also mention the sleek packaging which has 2 clear shade sides that

and allows for a quick colour check and grab out of the depths of a handbag.

Another interesting and noticeable feature of this lip gloss is the latest technology

flexible, flocked-silicone paddle applicator that

allows you to swipe on a generous, even layer of gloss and there's no need to double dip.

This technology also prevents the applicator from disintegrating and the neck of the

gloss stays fairly clean unlike some that get so dirty and sticky with gloss build up.
