Urban Decay Seismic Sheer Shimmer Lipstick - Review


Photo is unretouched and my face is pinkish as this was taken on a hot Summer day. 

I received a free sample of Seismic Sheer Shimmer Lipstick with a purchase of a product from Urban Decay on their website and decide to try it out.   On Urban Decay's website, a tube of lipstick is currently $17 and overall rating is 4.8 out of 5 stars.  

Below are pictures of the lipstick from the site and the front and back of the blister pack sample I received.

I am sure putting it on with a lip brush is probably not exactly the same or a smooth as from as a tube of lipstick but it does give you a good idea of the color and feel.  

The color is a purplish red, sort of a "Rum Raisin" sort of color with a bit of shimmer.  It has no scent and glides on easily and moisturizes well.  It is sheer so it has a more natural look.  

It would be a good look with Fall outfits that have more purplish or brown colors.  

I did find that it the color to be similar to the $1 LA Colors Lipstick in Stay Put,  with the difference for the latter being matte, richer, heavier color, feeling a little heavier and not gliding on as easily, although Urban Decay is a higher end product; it depends on what you want and what your wallet can afford.

Pros:
  • Sheer, more natural look
  • Glides on easily
  • No scent
  • Color would be good for Fall
  • Moisturizes lips well
Disadvantages:
  • Not as highly pigmented as non-sheer colors
  • Cost is higher than similar drug store products in similar shades
