REVIEW #2: COLOURPOP ULTRA SATIN LIPSTICKS + COLOURPOP ULTRA METALLIC LIPSTICKS

2:21 PM Lippie 0 Comments




Hillo everyone! Now i'll continue to review on the Colourpop Ultra Satin Lipsticks :) 

 I have purchased these 4 colours:
  1. Baracuda
  2. Frick N' Frack
  3. November
  4. Calypso
Let's take a look at Baracuda first...

From Left to Right: November, Calypso, Frick N' Frack and Baracuda

Well, i guess it's difficult to tell what's the difference between Frick N' Frack & Baracuda hahaha...i found it quite hard too...but on closer look, Frick N' Frack is more reddish brown while Baracuda is more purplish brown...As you can see, it's not as matte as the Ultra Matte range..it retains a bit of glossiness and shine :) 

 Let's try out the different shades on the lips!


Baracuda





 So...i didn't quite like this shade as it really looks very greyish purplish brown on my lips and it's too dark for my liking...dunno why the colour in the photo didn't come out as dark...however, i felt that it feels quite moisturizing on the lips and doesn't leave my lips chapped or dry...even after using makeup remover to remove it, my lips still feel fine...and it looks abit glossy too so i definitely prefer this range over ultra matte with regard to its moisture and texture =) 

 However, as what you can see from the lip tissue test, it's abit transferring...though the colour doesn't really come out from your lips, which is a good thing...

Next will show you Frick N' Frack!



At first i thought when i swatched this colour on my hand i thought it looks super brown and i didn't really like it...but after trying it on my lips..it wasn't too bad! :) i think i can try wearing this out sometimes..but maybe not Baracuda haha....Frick N' Frack comes off as a more nudish brownish with a bit of red colour...

Calypso
Hmm...Calypso is a light nude brown colour but it's a bit too nude for me so i don't really like this too...makes me look paler haha :P For those who like nude colours, you may like this :)

Okay, the last one is November, a limited edition Colourpop lippie which is i feel is a dark shade of peachy pink which to me is a very wearable colour =)

NOVEMBER
I really like this colour alot cuz i think you can wear it to work or anywhere else...the colour is also true to the colour on the packaging..i'm not sure if Colourpop still has this colour on sale since it's a limited edition item...remember to purchase the item while stocks last!

THE GOOD: 
1) The ultra satin lippies feel more moisturising on the lips and don't leave your lips chapped
2) Wide range of colours to choose from
3) Highly pigmented colours and it glides consistently on your lips

THE BAD:
1) It doesn't last as long and it's a bit transferrable
2) I don't like the chemical smell of the lippies

VERDICT: I would rate the Ultra Satin lipsticks a 7.5/10 as i like lippies that are both moisturising and have good lasting power that doesn't leave your lips flaky after a while :)


YAY..last but not least, just to also show you 2 metallic lippies i bought :D


  1. Flitter
  2. Kween

 Firstly..KWEEN! i really like this colour...and the good is it's lasting with the shine even after the lip tissue test haha...definitely less lasting and more transferrable than the ultra satin range but better than some metallic lippies i have :) I like how Kween is rose pinky colour..a colour you can definitely wear outside easily..it feels moisturising too albeit a bit sticky...Oh! one other good thing about this metallic lippies are that...it doesn't feel like a lip gloss it feels exactly like a lipstick...comparing this to shiny/metallic lip glosses like Laura Mercier or Christian Dior, they totally feel like a lip gloss where it's very easily removable and doesn't last long..however this colourpop one is long lasting =) 

 For Kween, you can either put it on as a full lipstick, or you can dab it on top of a matte lipstick...either way is fine i guess...



As you can see from the picture above, it leaves a nice sheen to it...other than Solow, Bumble, this is my 3rd favourite from Colourpop =)

Lastly, FLITTER....


Well, i purchased it to see how it looks like, but i'm definitely not wearing this out haha...it's supposed to look golden with a tinge of pink...but to be honest..it's not consistent when you glide it on your lips...you need to put it on several rounds for the full colour to come out...and it makes your lips a bit chappy =( 

 THE GOOD: 
1) Feels like a lipstick, not very transferrable and it's long lasting
2) Kween is moisturising and glides easily on your lips

 THE BAD:
1) Flitter leaves your lips dry and flaky
2) Some shades are not easily wearable outside
3) You have to use several rounds of makeup remover to remove the shiny bits even after the colour comes off

 VERDICT: 8/10 for KWEEN, but 4.5/10 for FLITTER

REVIEW #1: COLOURPOP ULTRA MATTE LIPSTICKS

11:14 PM Lippie 0 Comments


So, with this being my first post, I have decided to review my quite newly purchased 10 Colourpop lipsticks! I purchased them directly from their Colourpop website and the great thing is that it ships directly to Singapore. HOWEVER, take note that you need a minimum spending of USD 50 before they allow for international shipping. Also, i waited for a total of about almost 2 weeks before i received my parcel so....if you can't wait, then i suggest you purchase it from Qoo10 or something instead. 

 I guess since i puchased 10 lippies, they gave me quite a nice packaging box along with it, as well as a greeting message haha :P
LET'S START WITH THE ULTRA MATTE ones first! =) 

 **This post will just be about the ultra matte ones, if you want to read about the other ultra satin or ultra metallic ones, please click on my other posts. :)
THE CLAIM: "This thin and lightweight formula glides onto the lips leaving SUPER intense colour with a bold, ultra matte finish. It's very long wearing and completely kiss proof!"

 So of course that's what every lipstick tends to claim, but not every lipstick is able to pull that off well. 

 These are the ultra matte lipsticks I have purchased:

  1. Bumble
  2. Solow
  3. Mama
  4. 1st Base
So let's start with Bumble, which was one of the 2 reasons why i wanted to buy Colourpop. 

WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE: This is the image of the picture & colour of Bumble in Colourpop.



ACTUAL COLOUR: Now, I've swatched the colour on my arm and this is how it looks like:
The colour which is supposed to be a terracotta pinkish brown appears to be a bit more brownish red. As such, the colour seems to be abit darker than what it claims to be.

TEXTURE: It is super pigmented and is consistent when i glide it over my hand. It dries up quite quickly and does turn into a matte finish, though it's not as fast drying as Kat Von D. I waited for about 1 minute and it has fully dried. It is also not transferring as shown below when i tried doing a lip test onto a tissue paper.

This is how it looks on my lip:

I suggest those who have dry lips like me, to put on your lip balm before putting on this lipstick as it can be quite drying and lips may turn flaky and crusty quite quickly. This lipstick has great lasting power and you don't really need to re-apply after eating or drinking. 

Next, Solow!
This is my other reason for purchasing Colourpop. I absolutely love this colour as it's a nice shade of warm mauve pink that can be lovely to wear for everyday wear or for nice occasions. Somehow, Solow felt a bit more moisturizing on the lips than Bumble.


Next is 1st Base
The one on the LEFT is MAMA, and the one on the right is 1ST BASE

Well, I didn't really like 1st Base as i felt that the colour was a bit tooo Barbie pink...i preferred Solow over 1st Base.

Lastly, here's Mama....


I like Mama! hahaha the colour is a dark tinge of orangey brown..and i absolutely like this colour yay :D 

Yessss i'm done with the Ultra Matte Lippies....before i move on to the Ultra Satin Lippies, i'll give my opinion of this range of lippies as a whole......

 The GOOD 
1) Wide range of colours
2) Very non-transferring
3) Applicator is easy to use to apply 
4) Long-lasting though not as good as Kat Von D
5) Colours are very pigmented and consistent
6) Can apply full lips in 1 round

 The BAD
1) Lips feel very dry and chapped, and it turns flaky very soon
2) Can see lip's fine lines clearly
3) Not moisturising when you apply, and after you use makeup remover to remove, your lips feel even more dry
4) Don't like the chemical smell of the lippie

 Verdict: i would give Colourpop a 7/10 but probably won't purchase it anymore after this round cuz of the cons...

 Please refer to my next post for COLOURPOP ULTRA SATIN lippie review yayyy!! ^0^
