I received this Urban Decay "Lip Junkie" lip gloss as part of a set from Urban Decay. I didn't get a choice in the colour of the gloss and so I ended up with "Midnight Cowboy" shade which is a shimmery pinky nude colour. There are 11 shades of this lip gloss available in total, so there is definitely one to suit all tastes.

The lip gloss comes in a long tube which holds 10ml of product. The tube is clear so you can see the shade of the gloss through it. The lid is grey metallic and screws on and off easily. Underneath the lid is a slanted plastic applicator tip. A gentle squeeze of the tube releases enough gloss to cover your lips.

When you squeeze some of this gloss out, the smell is immediately evident. The product has a minty smell which feels cool, fresh and tingly as it is applied to your lips. This lip gloss spreads easily across your lips without feeling gloopy or thick. Urban Decay advertise this lip gloss as not making your lips sticky and I would agree with this. Having tried many lip glosses I can say that this is one of the least sticky I have used.

When applied to my lips, the "Midnight Cowboy" shade gives them a nice glossy finish with a very slight hint of light pink colour. This shade gives my lips a quite natural look and for this reason I like to use it during the daytime when at work. If I am going on a night out, I will apply this lip gloss over lipstick. For those who like more colour in a lip gloss one of the other shades would probably suit better. The gloss tastes nice and minty if I lick my lips after applying.

Urban Decay say that if this gloss is worn daily, it will plump your lips up making them appear thicker. I am not sure if I agree with this claim and don't really use this gloss for it's lip plumping effects. The lip gloss lasts for a long time on my lips and I tend not to reapply it any more than every 2-3 hours. Again when compared to other lip glosses I have tried, this is longer lasting.

The lip gloss costs £13.00 and is available at anywhere that sells Urban Decay products. I think this is good value for a long lasting and less sticky lip gloss. Overall I really like my "Lip Junkie" lip gloss and I think when it runs out I will buy it again in a different shade.

Thanks for reading/rating, I hope you enjoyed my review.
