Review: Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Lipstick Firebird

Urban Decay have certainly made a good move collaborating with Gwen Stefani, the fashion and  music icon, to release a range of stunning beauty products such as a blushers and eyeshadows, the eyeshadow palette being one product I own! Lucky girl I know so when I heard about the lipsticks I just couldn't help myself!

Look at the packaging!! I mean hello beautiful! A gold and black bullet classic of the Gwen Stefani packing, it looks unique and just darn beautiful! The shade I chose was Firebird a purple/pink shade that appeared my kind of colour on the website.

Firebird is a stunning purple that almost has a metallic sheen, when swatched on the lips I gasped! It is a soft opaque purple that has a blue undertone, it is stunning! I don't own a lipstick exactly like this but if I had to find a similar colour I would say MAC Show Orchid. The colour lasts well, not as long as a MAC matte lipstick would, still I was happy with the wear and appearance of this lipstick. The lipstick doesn't have any scent which would be music to some ears! This lipstick is moisturising and has a slight glossy finish on the lips, please Urban Decay do not stop collaborating with Gwen Stefani, she has proven to be a genius when it comes to makeup!

Have you tried any lipsticks from her range?

Each shade is named after a Gwen Stefani song which I think is something I adore! Makes me want to put on her album! Each shade is pigmented and buttery, I adore the quality of this palette, and have managed to use the majority of the shades, its such a beautiful palette to play around with and is a must have for any beauty lover!
 
The packaging looks high end with its gold detailing, white background and black polkadot effect on the front. It has a magnetic closing mechanism which is a must have otherwise it can get pretty messy! The palette feels quite heavy but is handbag friendly in size.
 
I cant recommend this enough and am so pleased with the quality and packaging, it will be living on top on my dressing table!
 
Have you tried this?
