Lip Therapy.


Urban Decay -
Honey-Infused Lip Therapy

I have always loved Urban Decay's eye products, there Naked palette is incredible and I use it pretty much everyday, and when I'm not using it, its because I'm using another eye shadow from their 'build your own' palette. However I thought I would stray from eye shadows within Urban Decay and see what other little gems they have and trust me I found a stunner.

I think one of my primary concerns with the new Urban Decay Lip Love Honey Infused Lip Therapy was the size. It’s a lighter, ridiculously smaller than their Lip Junkie lip-glosses however remarkably they actually contain the same amount of product at 0.34 oz. This seriously put my mind at ease knowing I was still getting the same amount of gloss. Therefore I started to embrace the small size of the tube and felt like it was super travel friendly because it didn’t overtake my makeup bag and it fits perfectly in any size clutch bag if I'm going out and only want a bit of sheer gloss.
I only picked up a single shade because no matter how you splice it they are all pretty sheer so it’s not something you need to haul all five variations of since most will only give a mild tint to lips or apply transparently, therefore pick your favorite and keep it forever.

The formula is smooth with a glossy, shiny finish. I love Urban Decay’s Lip-gloss formula as they always have a knack for creating a lightweight, super shiny gloss without being tacky or sticky.
The brilliant thing about the gloss is it actually treats lips as you have it on, so well after the gloss was gone my lips still felt smooth and hydrated. It’s packed with Vitamin C, which boosts collagen as well as jojoba, and apricot kernel seed oils moisturize, replenish and promote cell turnover. It would probably be best suited for a Winter lip-gloss when lips are dry and cracked, however I know during the warm weather my lip still get rather dry, therefore it’ll give parched, dry lips a moist, plump, and hydrated feel.

I bought the shade Lolita, which in the tube looks bright, almost neon pink, however due to it being rather sheer, it gives a beautiful tint of pink and amazing shine. As you all know I love my pinks, therefore this was a must have for me as this pretty much sums me up. The best thing I like about this lip gloss/treatment is that you can build up colour if you wish; therefore you can create that day to night transaction just by using one lip-gloss…how amazing is that!

Now, the one thing that people may not like about these lip-glosses/treatments is that due to them having a lot of honey in them, they smell very much of honey. However not the honey you have on toast etc., but the pure flowery scent of honey, which I know from reading reviews has really put people off. Personally, I don’t mind the smell because at least I know its natural and its not something which has been added for selling purposes, and also when you put it on your lips, you obviously cant smell it and it does disappear. This is the only negative thing I could pick up on from this stunning little gem of a product.

Overall, I’m very happy with my first delve into things outside of just Urban Decays Eye Makeup, and now I’ve tried there lip products, and know of the brilliant quality, I’ve definitely got my eye on a few other lip products.
Urban Decays Lip Love Honey-Infused Lip Therapy Glosses retail for £12, which is incredible and can be picked up from any Urban Decay counts, they also come in 5 colours; Stung (deep purple), Failbait (orange), Drizzle (baby pink), Lolita (hot pink) and Taunt (nude/brown), however do remember they are sheer, therefore create more of a slight tint rather then a true colour.
