Urban Decay | Alice Through The Looking Glass Lipstick Collection

Urban Decay knows how to do outrageous colours right that also match with fabulous and display-worthy packaging. Case in point: the Alice Through The Looking Glass Lipstick Collection (all limited edition), created and inspired by the movie of the same name that was recently released. Each of these five shades are representative of one of the main characters in the film and come in varying finishes just to keep things even more interesting. Sweetening the deal further, is the excellent price point to go with this eccentric colour range – definitely a rabbit hole you’ll want to go down.

Alice/Sheer Shimmer, limited edition (CAN $21.00) | To say I was surprised by this shade, wouldn’t be an understatement; what appears to be a peach/yellow colour in the tube, turns out to actually be the most wearable shimmery pink/peach/nude – quite unique in both texture, and in appearance in fact.

Mad Hatter/Metalized, limited edition (CAN $21.00) | As someone who stays real close to neutral/nude colour territory, going purple is way outside my comfort zone but I confess to really loving the natural ombré effect that this shade provides. It actually applies more even-looking in person, with the blue undertone making itself known and thereby giving it a wild new twist. One thing to note is that there will be spread of the silver micro shimmer upon removal, so I recommend dabbing off instead of wiping.

Mirana/Metalized, limited edition (CAN $21.00) | This lush deep blackened burgundy is quite pigmented and a great transition shade for Fall, with the silver micro shimmer in the formula giving new life to a run-of-the-mill vampy colour. For a precise and/or fierce look, don’t skip on using a matching liner although I can also see it with the edges lightly smudged out (using a lip brush works best for this effect) to create a less editorial feel.

Iracebeth/Comfort Matte, limited edition (CAN $21.00) | Ummmm….hello, beautiful! No, but seriously this is one red for the books. With tons of hot pink in the base to add brightness, this ultra-saturated shade will look amazing on both cool and warm complexions. The texture is exactly as described: matte AND comfortable, with a staying power that goes on & stays on until removed (not including eating and/or drinking, obviously).

Time/Metalized, limited edition (CAN $21.00) | In reality, I may never wear a colour as insanely awesome as this in public but I so so so want to! Channeling all things futuristic, the blue metallic base is chock full of silvery micro-shimmer, although the texture is not as opaque as you’d think which means you can try sporting a lighter layer as a way of easing into something this unique. Far from looking hypothermic (which was my initial fear), keeping the rest of your makeup minimal will definitely turn this shade into the standout feature of your look.

I may be partial to lip gloss, but with the way lipsticks have been evolving, the lines between the two formats has become increasingly blurred. One thing’s for sure, however; nothing will ever replace the sensorial feel of applying colour to one’s lips the way a lippie bullet provides and when you throw in a wild & unique shade range such as these Alice Through The Looking Glass hues, well it’s time to toss the rule book out the window and just have fun. After all, if you can’t play with make up, then what’s the point?!
