COLOURPOP NEWBIE

Okay so I finally took the plunge and got a few Colourpop items. I've been seeing their items specifically the lip products everywhere and needed to try them out for myself. The price is great so I figured it was worth getting a few. The Ultra Matte Lip sticks (which are currently extremely popular) are $6, while the Lippie Stix are $5.  I got 4 liquid lipsticks and one matte Lippie stix.


They come in nice packaging considering the price point. I'm a bit of a high end snob and much of that has to do with the poor packaging that some of the cheaper cosmetics come in. There are a few things I will note though, the liquid lipsticks can get messy since a lot of product comes out when you pull it out so be careful not to tip over the tube while its open. Im not sure if they apply the stickers with the names right before packing them but one of mine has no label at the bottom.



The 4 I got in that exact order:    Bumble, Chilly Chilli, Beeper, and Lychee.

They are nice they swatched nice and applied nice. On the lips the liquid lipsticks pick up any and every wrinkle on your lips.
Chilly Chilli gets awkwardly dark in the center of my lips once dried so I had to put a lighter shade of lipstick in the center of that one and voila got this.


This is the "MATTE Lippie stix" in Peppermint
Now I do like this lipstick but I do not think its at all matte, its a lot like the Mac amplifieds. Its pigmented but moisturizing so its great but just not matte.

Im satisfied with my purchase so much so that I'm planning to get a few more. I don't see myself getting the eyeshadows/blushes though but I think I'll try a few of their eyeliners.  Oh yea they don't ship right away, you can expect them to actually ship them within days after you place your order it comes from California.
