Colourpop Cosmetics Review

A month or so ago I did a review on this line and now since it has been some time of me using and having the products, I just wanted to give an honest review. I have the lippie stix, the eye shadow and the ultra matte lip gloss. Okay so for started, I honestly love the lippie stix although my Wet one has a funny smell to it. The color is great and oddly enough, it looked best when I wore it with a gray and black outfit. The look was one of my favorites. I also have Grind which I absolutely love and is basically my everyday go to. The lippie stix just go on so smoothly and creamy and I barely ever have to reapply throughout the day. Also, I have gotten so many compliments while wearing this color.

Next is the ultra matte. My opinion of this is way different from first one. I honestly hate these things. The colors are great but they are so drying on the lips to the point where it is uncomfortable for me to wear. While wearing these I constantly find myself licking my lips which messes up the color and just makes my lips looked chapped and unappealing. Also, these things are so hard to remove.

The only complaint about the eye shadow is it tends to get around my eye sometimes. But all that takes is a quick fix. I get compliments when wearing these all the time. The colors are great.

Colourpop Cosmetics

By now I am sure that most of you have heard of this brand right now. They are pretty known for making great quality affordable make up. Their ultra matte lip is only $6 and their lippie stick and eye shadow retail for only $5. But what also makes this shop special is it is only an online retailer based our of California. I first knowingly spotted one of their products when one of my good friends posted a picture on instagram and I just had to know where she got her lipstick from and she directed me to this website. I tried the eye shadow, ultra matte lip as well as the lippie stix. I will tell you what I love about the products and what I least like about the products.
First I will start off with the untra matte lip

I actually brought the colors Sundae (shown in picture) and StingRAYE. I must say that StingRAYE is the first nude color EVER that I have tried on my lips that I actually like. Both of these colors are well pigmented and see to last a fair amount of time. The don't come off on your drink which I love. But these babies really are ultra matte and I swear my lips have never felt drier. It is really an uncomfortable feeling so what I usually do is put some chap stick over it but I feel like that messes up the consistency of the ultra matte its self so I am still trying to figure out how to make this work for me. Also a con is that these bad boys stain your lips.

Secondly we have the lippie stick.

I purchased Grind (pictured above) and Wet. I must say that I absolutely hate wet. It is a foil and I love foils but this one did not work for me at all. Grind on the other hand I can not stop wearing. I would definitely purchase more of these but I must say that one thing that I do not love is the smell of these.

Lastly, I did try out the eye shadow.

I purchased So Quiche (pictures above) and dare which is like a nude color with lots of sparkles of course. One thing that I will say about their shadows is that they are very pigmented and the colors and well defined. I love this and please believe that I do wear these eye shadows casually and I have been complimented on them more than one.

So overall I really do love this brand and I recommend it to everyone. They have colors that will appeal to everyone's liking and if you're not a matte person you can always go for the lippie stick.
