See for example, reviews on Frick N' Frack and Toolips respectively: The colour in the tube isn't the colour on the lips, and that's a problem. If they purchase, like my friend, based upon photographs of the products on the Colourpop website, they will be sorely disappointed. These observations seem to be more a criticism of their business model than the quality of their products per se.įirst, not every consumer will be bothered or savvy enough to properly research the colour accuracy of their shades. But I was majorly annoyed by 2 things with this latest batch of products.

I also give them props for making colours that look great on darker skin tones. I mean, I'm probably never going to wear Toolips or Mess Around out, but at least the option's there and I've seen what they look like on. I do stand by what I said before, which is they're a good place to go if you want to try out trendy, daring, bold, fun shades at an affordable price point.
Once again, I'm not particularly thrilled with Colourpop (see previous posts here and here). Not the hugest fan, but could work if not at 100% opacity.
But I think it's a bit too syrupy for me? There's something simultaneously neon yet old-fashioned about it. I was kind of excited for November since it's distinctly not like the other vampy shades and I do like KathleenLights. Reminds me of a more orange, lighter Wet n Wild MegaLast Lip Color in Bare It All or Maybelline Color Drama Intense Velvet Lip Pencil in Nude Perfection. Probably what I'd hoped Revlon Matte lipstick in Smoked Peach would be. It's not as love-at-first-sight on me, but it's a nicely done warm peachy nude. I bought Hotline after seeing this blog post because it looked so perfect on the blogger.

The Matte X Lippie Stix was pretty much what I was expecting: a full coverage but lightweight, extremely matte lipstick. If given the choice, I would abandon the Ultra Matte Lip in favour of the Ultra Satin Lip for any future purchases. This helps create a more even finish and gets around needing a super precise application. I find the Ultra Matte Lip colours fare better with a coat of lip balm underneath, an initial layer of product that's dabbed on with the fingers, then a second coat applied the same way after the first has dried. The Ultra Satin Lip dries down to a more matte finish anyway, so they just feel like a more moisturising version of their Ultra Matte Lip. The fluffier applicator on the USL is noticeably more plush and cushiony than the UML which feels harder and not as giving, perhaps to facilitate a harsher, more precise edge. I find them a lot more comfortable to wear than the Ultra Matte Lips which are drying and suck all the moisture from your lips. This was also my first time trying out the Ultra Satin Lip formula. You'd hope that a brand would consciously avoid having dupes or near dupes within their own collection, but maybe Colourpop has other priorities. Sure, Teeny Tiny is more purply and darker than the rest, Beeper is a bit lighter, Wild Nothing is perhaps a touch deeper and browner than the redder Frick N' Frack and Stud, but the differences aren't enough to justify half of these shades being separate and distinct. Here we can see just how similar these colours are.
