Since picking up the shade "Oil Slick" from Urban Decay recently for my post on dark makeup I decided I like these lipsticks a LOT - from the dagger style packaging to the formula, and the colours... Well, some are not exactly everyday shades, but reds in the range are definitely worth a look...
I picked up a couple the other day in the shades Tease and Gash (nice colour, name, not so appealing possibly?)
Tease is definitely the more wearable of the two, it reminds me a bit of MACs "Kinda Sexy" but is a bit less drying on my lips...
It looks like a reddish-pink nude in the tube, slightly teracotta like...
However, on the lips it is a lovely peachy shade, perfect with a smoky eye - I love this shade, and it may be that I have found a (kind of) nude shade I can work with....
I also picked up the shade "Gash" a deep dark red shade - vampy but wearable for night time, and I'm thinking false lashes, simple black liner, and a slick of Harlot blusher from Illamasqua will set this off nicely...
Apologies for the freaky swatch above - I tried to take a full lip shot, but my lips were all blotchy and it looked like a five year old had applied it, but hopefully this gives you a good idea of the colour.
I find both shades reasonably long lasting, and non-drying. They cost around £11.50 each at Boots, and are also available in department stores.
Do you own any Urban Decay lipsticks? How do you find them?

They look gorgeous!
I don't own any UD's lipsticks, but these look really pretty. It's so interesting how different is Tease in the tube and on the lips.
You'd never think that first one would come out that colour from looking at it - but it's gorgeous!
(...and am i the only one with a mind in the gutter who thinks that name is very dodgy?!)
lovely colours! I always find the names of urban decay products a little scary!x
very pretty lipsticks!!
Gash?!! *snigger* sorry.. must be mature :)
Horrible name but gorgeous colour, will definitely be checking this out xx
I have one, I think it's in "Pistol". The colour is stunning but it has a horrible bitter taste which means I never wear it, real shame. You didn't find that though so I'm going to check these two shades out.
Did you ever try the original Gash in the old silver tube? It was the most amazing metallic red, awesome.
Jen jen jen! when is the next illamasqua contest! im so ready to get back into the swing of things!
Tease is my HG lippy, it goes with any outfit or occassion! Think it is described as a pinky coral on the site but on me it's a peachy/coral nude without being corpse like. It's a shame UD lippies don't get more attention I love them!
@Sil - I know, I was really glad I swatched it - It looks fairly nothingy in the tube, but I love it...
@Ondine - I know, Gash in particular is a bit of a nasty name lol
@DressJunkie - I totally did the same haha!
@Sarah - The original Gash sounds awesome...
@Jackie - next big one will be after Christmas, but I'm trying to get a little something together just now too, so stay tuned! xxx
@Kerri - Its such a lovely colour isn't it...
Haven't heard much about Urban Decay lipsticks before, will definately have to check them out next time, but I'm not keen on the name "Gash"!!
♥
I love Tease too!! Like you say, it's very similar to Kinda Sexy but with a much nicer texture. It also reminds me of Benefit's Lady's Choice lipstick. (another great "nude" for us who can't do nude) xxxx
2nd time this week ive heard of Tease and how lovely it is, I think its a sign that I should buy it lol
I have Naked and Oil Slick, both of which I love! The packaging is awesome. Oil Slick is the most perfect, wearable black :)
I love UB lipsticks, they are so moisturising its like wearing a gloss. I love the look of tease - this is now on my shopping list!I have 3 - Peroxide, Naked and my fav - Indecent(although it tastes horrible). great review!! x x
