Urban Decay Big Bang Lipstick Review

I'm taking a break from my Living Single Marathon. I just finished up Season 3 and I'm about to watch Season 4. One of my favorite shows. 90's sitcoms are the best. Max is definitely my favorite. Followed by Obie. Where are all the men like Obie these days?

Urban Decay claims:
Prepare to get hooked. Vice Lipstick comes in a massive lineup of 135 addictive shades and six indulgent finishes—our biggest lineup yet! 
Please note SALE shades do not qualify for Custom Engraving.

Our shade range has it all: Bold brights. Dark, sexy shades. Super-versatile neutrals. With so much variety it’ll make your head spin, there’s something for everyone—from new shades to cult favorites you thought you’d never see again. Several shades were inspired by some of our other lip products (and even our Eyeshadows and Eye Pencils!).

 METALLIZED: cream with a high level of pearl



I really need to review the rest of the Vice Lipstick palette I have because some of the colors I'm almost done with. I've finished up two shades and am just using it right up.

One of my favorite colors? Big Bang.

It's so unique to anything I've seen so far. It has little glitters in it. It looks so pretty in the right lighting. And somehow it's not gritty. I was seriously in awe the first time I used it. I can't get a picture to capture it.

One thing to note- it's on the sheer side. So I mostly wear it using a full coverage fuschia/magenta lipstick underneath and popping just a tiny bit around the center. Or if I'm feeling adventurous, all over.

See how sheer?

It looks best in night time lighting. Or lighting where metallics really have a chance to shine.


It's not the longest wearing lipstick. And I have noticed if I try to build it up, the glitters can kind of  go patchy after some wear time.  But applying a little over a base color didn't give me any problems.

Also, I have noticed it makes the prettiest highlight on the cheeks. Just a dab. And it's definitely a unique look but so pretty.


In conclusion, I love it. I wish it wore longer. This might be worth buying the full size. It's not without problems, but since I love the color I tend to overlook any issues.
