I'm so excite to share with you guys about this little magic. Here's the thing. I'm not a lip gloss person at all. I tried to avoid any product that is glossy, especially when it comes to lip products. The story is about a month ago, my lips were dry and I couldn't find the Vaseline bottle; I saw the Urban Decay sample gloss that comes with Naked2 Palette and put it on my lips. Of course, the color didn't flatten my lips much since my lips are pigmented. Then my Mr. came upstairs to look for his stuff and he kept looking at me. I was like "what's going on duhh" lol. He asked me if I put anything on my lips; he liked it and it looked kissable.
So I did a little research over the products and was thrilled to find out that UD carries a lot of colors. Moreover, this lip junkie got a lot of good reviews and high rate of recommendation. After days and hours, I decided to pick:
-Obessed
-Streak
-Wallflower
-Crush
-RedLight
Those colors I picked are not shimmer or glittery (I personally don't like sparkle or shimmer lips). Here are the swatches:
You can tell how glossy the product is!
I'm going to show the details.

Urban Decay Lip Junkie in Obsessed |
Urban Decay Lip Junkie in Streak |
Urban Decay Lip Junkie in Wallflower |
Urban Decay Lip Junkie in Crush |
Urban Decay Lip Junkie in RedLight |
Among 5 colors that I picked, my favorite one is Obsessed, Crush and RedLight. Streak is somewhat transparent. I returned Wallflower because it makes my lips look very pale and dark; as I know, Wallflower is one of their best selling shades but no no for me.
My tip is apply some lip stain 1st, for example Benefit Liptint (review here), let it dry then apply this lip gloss, you will be amazed when it turns out.
