ColourPop Review

Hi guys!

Today I am bringing you a very exciting review. It is on the Colourpop Cosmetics Lippie Stix and Ultra Matte Lips. 

If you have been on Instagram or watch YouTube then I am sure you have heard the buzz around Colourpop Cosmetics. They are a relatively new company based in Los Angeles. They sell eyeshadows, blushes, highlighters, lipsticks, liquid lipsticks, eyeliners and now brow products. All of their products range in price from $5 to $8. In a world where the prices of cosmetics are on the rise this company has made a name for itself in providing quality products at very affordable prices. I have heard all the hype around this brand and wanted to try some products out for myself. 

When visiting the site for the first time it can be a little overwhelming. They have so many products in every color imaginable. I recommend looking up swatches of anything you are interested in. I ended up picking out all lip products because that is what was intriguing me the most. 

I picked up two Lippie Stix and 3 Ultra Matte Lips. I have been testing these out for a few weeks and have pretty solid thoughts on them.  

First up I have the Lippie Stix. On the left is Lady, a cool toned dirty burgundy.  On the right is Grunge, a cool toned plum brown. Both of these have a matte finish but are surprisingly comfortable to wear. They do not dry out my lips and last incredibly well on my lips. I can easily get a 5-6 hour wear out of these even while eating and drinking. They are not budge proof and will transfer but color still remains on my lips. And that's all that matters to me. 

So sorry for the horrible swatch!

Next up we have the Ultra Matte Lips.  On the left we have the shade Teeny Tiny, a deep greyed out plum. In the middle we have Beeper, a warm mid-toned taupe. And on the right we have Chilly Chili, a muted plummy brown. These are, like the name implies, ultra matte. I suggest exfoliating and moisturizing your lips before even thinking about putting on of these suckers on. They dry down to a completely budge proof and smudge proof finish and feel almost powdery on the lips. These will last you through a hurricane. They are fantastic!

As you can see I wasn't very adventurous and got very neutral shades, but to be honest most of what I wear are neutral shades. I will definitely order outside of the neutral color range when I make my next purchase. Also, I suggest looking up swatches because some colors can look extremely similar on the lips. 

I am so impressed with all of these lip products! Especially for being so affordable. I have been recommending them to anyone who will listen. If you are looking to try out different lip colors or different finishes then give Colourpop a try. My favorites so far are the Grunge Lippie Stix and the Beeper Ultra Matte Lip. If you have tried Colourpop products then what are your favorites?
