Urban Decay Elote Vice Moisturizing LipstickUrban Decay Elote Vice Moisturizing Lipstick ($ 19.00 for 0.11 oz.) Is a light, medium-dark coral-orange with warm undertones and a satin finish. The texture was light, smooth, and more like a velvety cream, but still had a lot of lubricity. The product had a semi-opaque, buildable color release that adhered uniformly and adhered well for five hours. The formula felt slightly moisturizing overall.

Formula overview

The formula is said to be “super pigmented”, “moisturizing” and “long lasting”. There are three finishes: cream, matte, and shine, and the way they feel, apply, and wear depends on the finish, so I’ve broken the chart down by finish.
The matte finish is comparable to the original Comfort Matte Finish in the Vice Lipstick formula. They have a creamy, smooth consistency that has a silky finish rather than a true matte finish. They wear out to a semi-matte to matte finish when some of the gloss wears off. They were typically opaque, fairly forgiving for imperfections on the lips, and wore anywhere from four to six hours. There were a few nuances, usually on the lighter end of the color spectrum, that were more likely to get stuck in my lip lines.
There were a few nuances in the matte finish that were genuinely matte and were more of a traditional matte, although they were still smooth and pliable enough to apply without tugging, but they were thinner and a bit “clingy” in comparison “(just not to the point) emphasizing the lip texture or making it uncomfortable to wear).
The Cream Finish is comparable to the Original Cream Finish in the Vice Lipstick formula. The texture was smooth, more like a gel-cream, in that it was dense and slightly sticky, so it glided better once it warmed on my lips. What I’ve always enjoyed – and what I enjoy about the reformulation – is that the texture helps keep the color in place, making it appear smoother, and sit better on my lips while still adding plenty of shine. These shades had a semi-opaque to opaque coverage and a wearing time of about four to five hours.
The shine finish is most like the original sheer finish in the Vice Lipstick formula, but to me these were less comparable than the other two finishes. The Shine Finish is a very smooth, gel-like balm that has a lot of lubricity, is not sticky and is very shiny. They’re almost easy to paint over because they’re so soft and creamy (also why they’re available in the slim tube to keep the lipstick from breaking off at the base). These colors tended to be semi-opaque to predominantly opaque with some translucency. They lasted about two to four hours.
The majority of shades are moisturizing, although some of the really matte shades won’t dry off. No smell or taste was noticeable.

It also felt thinner and a little more supple compared to other mats that had a more velvety creaminess. The paint was mostly opaque, buildable, and long-lasting because it lasted over six hours, left a very strong (pink) stain, and barely provided any moisture.
