COLOURPOP Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks

Swatches & Review!

A few months ago, Colourpop Cosmetics released an entire range of 
their own liquid lipsticks - Ultra Mattes
Starting with 25 colours & they have just added 8 more!
From Classic Nude shades to Crazy Blues & Greens, 
And for $6 usd, they're worth trying!

♥

These sold out within hours of being released!
So I managed to pick up 6 colours when the site restocked
Swatches & thoughts below! 

www.colourpop.com

I heard more about these from Manny (MannyMUA733) & TrendMood on their Snapchat stories!

So many colours to choose from, in a Liquid-to-Matte formula, all $6 usd EACH?!?

I had to try these for myself!

♥

Liquid-to-Matte Lipsticks are all the rage this year & popping up everywhere!

Anastasia Beverly Hills, Jeffree Star Cosmetics, Stila, LASplash, Dose of Colors & more

have all gone down the Matte road with stunning colours available!

But...

Colourpop Cosmetics, by far, have the largest colour variety available & continue to create more, also are the most affordable on the market at $6 each

Colourpop never disappoint!

♥ SWATCHES ♥

Top - Bottom

Limbo - Deep Chocolate Brown

Tulle - Dusty Mauve Burgundy

Bumble - Dusty Warm Terracotta

Pacific - True Bright Orange 

Trap - Dusty Grey Beige ("Greige")

Midi - Soft Neutral Beige

MIDI

"Soft Neutral Beige"

This applies like a Neutral Peachy nude, 

yet once it dries Matte the colour changes slightly to a more pale mauve nude.

The formula of this is smooth & dries like nothing on your lips, very comfortable to wear & lasts hours!

TRAP

"Dusty Grey Beige"

This shade is ultra popular at the moment, "Greige"
And Trap is exactly that, a Grey toned Beige.
Has a hint of Mauve on my skintone

It applies beautifully but can dry patchy & may need another layer once dried & can feel a tad cakey/tacky after a while because of that. Lasts hours also but I personally like to remove & reapply after eating.

BUMBLE

"Dusty Warm Terracotta"

Bumble reminds me of the popular Kylie Jenner lip colour! Has less of that Terracotta tone on my skin but I've been wearing this one the most! 

The formula of this shade only requires a light layer of product, it can smear out of your lip line so I recommend a lip liner. But once it's dry, feels like nothing on your lips & lasts hours.

PACIFIC

"True Bright Orange"

Ok, every girl needs a statement colour!

This shade is a stunning, almost Neon, Orange. Highly pigmented & perfect for Summer. I love this colour, but they have a shade "Succulent" that looks deeper & more wearable for darker skintones. 

One thing, the formula of this shade..sucks..

After one layer, it dried patchy, I applied

another layer & this baby just crumbled off!

I think it's best to exfoliate lips first, apply super thin, let dry, and another thin layer.

TULLE

"Dusty Mauve Burgundy"

This is more of a brown burgundy on my skin, I love this colour for Autumn/Winter
It reminds me of Anastasia Beverly Hills Limited Edition shade "Veronica", only a quarter of the price!

The formula of this shade is lovely, a lot like "Bumble" it feels like nothing on your lips, not drying & lasts hours, but I recommend a lip liner with this one. As you can see, it can dry patchy. So go for a thin layer, let dry, another thin layer.

LIMBO

 "Deep Chocolate Brown"

A Khloe Kardashian Brown!

I LOVE this shade, Deep Dark Chocolate, this has a perfect balance of cool/warm tones to make this shade ultra wearable for light-dark skin

The formula is slighty patchy, I think it happens with the deeper shades, but is easy to layer up the opacity & doesn't go crumbly or tacky. This shade does start to fade off in the centre after a while, but is still long-lasting

Now, I think you all need to go over to Colourpop.com & check out the Ultra Matte range!

 For $6 you can't go wrong!

The pigmentation, formula, lasting power & colour range 

will have you wondering what you ever saw in $20 Liquid Lipsticks!

Huge COLOURPOP Haul!

Products & Swatches!  

 I had heard about this new Brand through one of my Fave Beauty Gurus - Shaaanxo
She actually collaborated with Colourpop to bring us four of her own colours!
Then Kathleen Lights - another fave - bought out her own quad of shadows & a Lipstick shade! 
Of course I had to go check them out...
I was shocked at how affordable everything was!
 $5usd for Eyeshadows & Lippiestix! $8usd for Cheek products!
♥
So it was my Birthday on July 10th & I asked for some money to make a ColourPop Order!
I had a few things in mind but it's hard to resist everything at that price point!
Check out what I got below + swatches of everything!

www.Colourpop.com

As you can see, I got a decent sized haul! 

There are a few unique things about this brand..

One thing is the interesting mousse-like texture of the shadows & face products, these are not powder or cream products, yet they feel creamy & moussey to the touch & apply like a powder on the skin. Another is the stick packaging of their lipsticks, different to the traditional, shorter bullet shape, 

these are longer, thinner stick-like lippies & they have the texture & pigmentation of a normal lipstick = Lippiestix!  

And also, the quality! The pigmentation of every single product blew me away! 

The packaging also feels good quality, it doesn't feel cheap & tacky.

I like the cute white pots with the reflective silver Colourpop signature,

Colourpop is a makeup lovers dream, the range of colours they have

& continue to create for us are stunning!

♥ LIPPIESTIX♥

Top - Bottom

Creature - Matte Deep Blackened Burgundy, sexy vamp colour, more of a creamy matte.

Tootsi - Matte Cool-toned Grey Beige, a great alternative to Lime Crimes "Cashmere", slightly warmer in comparison.

Brink - Matte Warm Dusty Taupe, Can anyone say Kylie Jenner lips?! I LOVE this colour, I might order 10 of these next time for backup!
Pinch - Matte Light Pinky Beige, I also love this colour, it comes off a deeper brown nude on me!
Tipsy - Gloss Light Neon Peach, this colour gave me a shock! Yes it's "Glossy" but damn is she pigmented! With one swipe, this will be a summer fave!

$5 USD each!

All super creamy with crazy pigmentation!

They smell like vanilla, similar to MAC lipstick

Every shade has a matching lip liner available to purchase also!

Lippiestix come in 7 different formulas -
Creme, Sheer, Satin, Glossy, Hyper-Glossy, Matte & Pearlized

♥ SUPER SHOCK - SHAAANXO ♥

This quad was a collaboration with Social Media Sensation, Shaaanxo!
One of my favourite YouTubers & also from New Zealand, she is such an inspiration to young women!

These are her 4 custom shades

XO - Pearlized Champagne

Deluxe - Pearlized Red Bronze 

Rebel - Matte Khaki Green

Selfie - Matte Peach Brown

Quad Price - $20 USD 

Top - Bottom

Deluxe, this colour is a delicious, warm chocolate brown with bronze & golden shimmer through it! Blend in to the outer-v & smudge under the lash-line or over the whole lid for a dark bronze smokey eye.

Rebel, this matte, mid-tone Khaki looks good all over the lid for a smoked-out grungey look or lower lash line to add some edgy colour to any neutral eye!

Selfie, this is a great transition shade to blend in the crease or smoke out the lower lash-line for depth. Or you could use Selfie alone over your lid for a simple sunkissed eye look

XO, perfect for highlighting the inner corner, I also love this over the lid with "Selfie" blended in to the crease for some day-time glam!


♥ SUPER SHOCK - KATHLEENLIGHTS ♥

This is a collaboration with Cuban-America Beauty YouTuber KathleenLights! 
Another one of my favourite gurus to watch, she's hilarious & I love her style! 

These are her 4 custom shades

Glow - Matte Creamy Vanilla

Cornelious - Matte Warm Caramel 

Kathleenlights - Pearlized Bright Golden Copper

Blaze - Metallic Coco Bronze Sprinkled with Multi-Dimensional Glitter

Quad Price - $20 USD 

Top - Bottom

Blaze, Another delicious colour, a bronze brown with multi-dimensional glitter through it, it comes off slightly green-bronze. It looks amazing on its own as 
deep sultry smokey eye!

Kathleenlights, this is a true bronze gold! So buttery & amazing over the lid, this with Cornelious blended in to the crease creates a beautiful, bright summer look!

Cornelious, perfect transition shade to pair with the two above, blend in the crease to soften up any harsh lines.

Glow, a true creamy vanilla, because this is a matte shade I like to use this all over the lid as a base for the other shadows, it's also nice as a brow bone highlight 


♥ SUPER SHOCK - CHEEK ♥

Top - Bottom

Wisp - Pearlized Highlight, this is a Golden Champagne with a highly reflective gold duo-chrome finish! Mine actually arrived broken, I emailed Colourpop & without a question, they sent me a replacement, That's what I call customer service!

Trickery - Satin Blush, a soft pastel true peach. I find its more of peachy-pink then a "true Peach", at least on my skin, it's still a stunning blush!

Between The Sheets - Matte Blush, A mid-tone beige pink. I Love this shade, it's a great everyday dusty pink, very natural looking with no shimmer.

Aphrodisiac - Matte Blush, soft beige brown. Apparently could be used as a contour shade, I am yet to try it for this. Other wise it gives a nice bronzey colour to the cheeks for a sunkissed glow

Bon Voyage - Matte Bronzer in soft tan, perfect for fair/light skin tones to warm up the skin.

$8 USD Each!

I like to apply these with my fingers or a duo-fibre stipple brush to control the amount of pigmentation applied.

These babies are so buttery & pigmented, it's easy to go over board 

The eyeshadows are also best applied with your fingers for the most colour pay-off, but you can diffuse the crease shades using a blending brush.

Another thing to make this brand even more amazing, they are Cruelty Free & Do Not Test on Animals! Also their products are gluten free & most are vegan too! (though they advise you not to eat them haha) 

And that concludes my huge Colourpop Haul! I love everything I ordered & hope to get more soon! I'm dying to try their new Ultra Matte Lipsticks! The only downfall is the International Shipping cost!

Colourpop currently only ship to the following countries:

Australia

Canada

Guam

New Zealand
