Nice gloss but....

I first tried this gloss when I got a little mini with my Naked palette. The shade was Naked and is a pinky sheer gloss. Back then I wasn't much of a lipstick fan and really liked the peppermint tingly feeling this gloss had and it was really pretty on the lips, so I brought a full size but picked out the shade Heavy which is a nude colour.

These are sticky in my opinion. Not super sticky but they certainly can't claim to not be sticky. They have a reasonable staying time for a gloss.

They state they 'cool and plump'. You certainly get those sensations but I wouldn't say it plumps.

The packaging isn't great on my full size tube. The pretty metal lid falls off and most of the writing has faded off the tube. While the mini tube (yes, I still have it from over 2 years ago!) is still in immaculate order.

In my opinion (as all reviews are) these are supremely overpriced. I don't think they are worth the price as they are just a gloss and I think cheaper brands like NYX can deliver the same if not better.

Great if you love minty things

I got this as a freebie trial size (super cute) in the shade 'naked' it is a lovely subtle nude type colour and is very easy to wear but it is still stickier than I would like. Very cooling and minty fresh on the lips - the name junkie is quite accurate, you keep wanting to apply to get that feeling back but the downfall for me is it ends up being quite irritating and drying in the long run. Packaging is gorgeous love the filigree gunmetal cap and the squeeze tube/slanted tip which makes application a breeze. Overall I enjoyed this but wouldn't repurchase, and randomly enough I ended up receiving a second one which I ended up giving away.

Not a great gloss

I was gifted this lipgloss and I was so excited to try it once I received it. I have it in the bright pink shade. I have to say my excitement quickly left. I found it to be a very sticky thick gloss that did not feel good on my lips. The pigment looked lovely and colour wise it performed really well as a gloss. The peppermint aspect to it was a bit intense at first but after a little while it died down and was barely noticeable. Even though I didn't like the level of stickiness it did help this gloss stay on for ages. I was waiting for it to rub off and I was waiting all day. I won't be reaching for this gloss say first choice unfortunately.

Not a favourite

I received this as a generous sized sample with one of my Naked palettes. I was super excited as I have wanted to try a Urban Decay Lip Gloss for a while. This one also has claims that it isn't super sticky which is always a plus for a lip gloss.

The packaging is super cute with a clear container to the gloss so you can see how much you have left as well as the colour. The lid is gorgeous with a kind of cut out feature to see a purple underneath, very cool design. The applicator is just a slanted opening in the plastic that you squeeze the gloss through, nothing fancy considering the high end price (I have checked and the packaging is the same in the full size, just longer).

The gloss itself is a dark pinky brown colour, on the lips it only gives a very subtle shimmer and colour definitely not opaque. The scent is also very minty, but I don't find it plumping at all. Because of the minty-ness it is a wee bit tingly. This is still quite sticky but not anything more than any other gloss I have used. The staying power is pretty normal for a gloss, doesn't stick around for a long time or through eating etc. I don't find it particularly moisturising or drying at all.

I won't be purchasing another of these (especially as I'm not sure you can, they aren't on the Urban Decay website anymore). When it comes to glosses I would be much more likely to buy another NYX butter gloss for a third of the price.

Wanted to love these

I really wanted to love these. The color range is beautiful and the packaging is super awesome. However, they are so sticky and heavy feeling. I just didn’t like it at all. There is a peppermint smell to these which is awesome and the lasting power is great. Just that stickiness ruins it for me.
