Urban Decay Lip Envy

Average member rating of 7.3
Average member rating
Rated a 6.0
Long-lasting and semi-permanent, these quick-setting stains use moisturizing vitamins and fruit extracts to keep the claimed semi-matte finish from feeling dry. While the colored tints -- pink Envious and deep berry Greedy -- might be too bright for most skin tones, the appropriately named Nude has a subtle finish. The thin-tipped sponge wand keeps color even, but the inkwell bottle isn't as user-friendly as a traditional tube. The heavy vanilla scent is off-putting, too.

    Great as a cheek stain too!

    One of the first lip stains I tried and I've come to really love using it under glosses. It does a good job at keeping color on the lips all day even as glosses wear off.

I've got the brown/nude shade ("Jealous"). It needs a few coats to show color, but works well and looks great under gloss or lipstick. I'm really glad that the girl who sold it to me mentioned that it was a great cheek stain too, because I love using it for this as well. It's really subtle and easy to blend. April 24, 2008, 6:30 am

    Not My Favorite

    I am a huge fan of lip stains of all sorts, but this one really wasn't up my alley, even though as a general rule, I love Urban Decay.

June 14, 2008, 8:54 pm I am a huge fan of lip stains of all sorts, but this one really wasn't up my alley, even though as a general rule, I love Urban Decay. I found that I had to apply at least three to four layers to get the color that I wanted, and the stain didn't last as long as I would like. It certainly didn't last through a meal, and I expect at least that out of my stains. Great color choices, but not effective as a stain. June 14, 2008, 8:54 pm

    Great for beautifully stained lips!

    by KFoxalicious (45 reviews)
    I really like this lip stain, all the colors are gorgeous. I did notice that sometimes my lips get really flakey after putting it on, so when I know I'm going to be wearing it I exfoliate my lips and put on some lip balm about an hour before. The color lasts all day (and night). February 28, 2008, 1:40 pm

    I just wish they had more color selection

    I love UD products, especially their shadow primers and eye shadows but I wasn't too enthralled with their lip stains.

November 6, 2008, 12:21 am I love UD products, especially their shadow primers and eye shadows but I wasn't too enthralled with their lip stains. For one, there are only 3 colors to choose from and two of them happen to be pink based. The other "nude" color they had doesn't really show up on me. I purchased the color Envious as it seemed at the time to be the best color option but unfortunately, it wasn't as flattering on me as I hoped it would be. It also didn't last long. Applying lip balm or lip gloss on top which is necessary for added moisture with any lip stain, made it disappear quicker. While the container it comes in is real cute (just like a lot of UD's products), the lip stain itself wasn't too impressive. I don't know how it wears on the cheeks as I've never tried it there. I'm giving it 2 stars because I really liked the container and the applicator. November 6, 2008, 12:21 am

    Greedy=sexy

    by soymilk_yum (13 reviews)
    I absolutely love this color! This stuff makes my lips so beautiful :D Tips: Apply chap stick before to soften your lips, then rub it off to give you a clean surface. Make sure to keep some chap stick with you for touch ups! October 6, 2008, 1:57 pm

    Love this product

    by Pavee_Lackeen (8 reviews)
    I adore lip stains - and - this is my newest favorite. I put it on then layer it w/gloss to give it depth. Takes my pale pasty lips to a whole new level. September 17, 2008, 8:57 am

    cute packaging

    by LoveMyBoysBZ (51 reviews)
    I love the packaging, it is really cute. It does not last long like it says. ALso I have to apply a couple coats to get the desired color. August 30, 2008, 8:36 am

      • Subtle, but never unnoticed, this water-rich stain provides a long-lasting, semi-permanent wash worth lusting after. Take a dip & anoint your lips with a sheer veil of vanilla-scented color, or layer for a deep, inky stain. Made with powerful antioxidants, including Vitamin E, Green Tea, Chamomile & Ginkgo Biloba extracts, Lip Envy applies cool, then dries down to a semi-matte finish – perfect when you’re not in the mood for a thick gloss. Housed in a sexy inkwell, Lip Envy features a flocked applicator for precise application.
      • Directions

      • Tips: Apply Lip Envy Lip Stain and let dry, then apply a second coat. Finish with a coat of your favorite sparkly gloss for a deep, lacquered effect.
