It took me a while to order from ColourPop<\/a> which seems weird cause their products are right up my alley (cheap, long-wear lipsticks). But I’m petty to my core and when I was a beauty intern (at an unnamed magazine) I had to deal with ColourPop’s PR person who was rude, unhelpful, didn’t send me the product I needed and addressed me only by last name (meaning she hadn’t read my e-mail where I introduced myself and put my signature). After that experience I ignored ColourPop, refusing to buy their products or have anything to do with them. But people change, I changed. I began seeing ColourPop everwhere and the glowing reviews and most of all the deals. So I went and bought a bunch of liquid lipsticks (cause that’s what I need, more lipsticks) and here we are.<\/p>\n

Lippie Stix in Brink<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’m always looking for a natural, everyday lipstick and ColourPop’s Lippie Stix in Brink\u00a0<\/a>fits the bill. This lipstick is a nude rose color with just enough color to make it stand out. It’s a matte-formula but non-drying and very long lasting. The sort of triangle shape of the lippie stix makes it easy to get every part of your lips.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The bottom also twists up and down so there’s no accidentally squishing your lipstick when you put the top back on. A perfect nude-rose color for less than $10 is definitely a winner.<\/p>\n

So this lippie stix was part of a promo ColourPop was doing when they hit 5 million followers and unfortunately it’s not available anymore. This is a dark wine\/plum shade perfect for Fall. Like Brink, this lipstick goes on easy and has a soft matte finish. It’s pretty dark, definitely not an everyday color but its great for making a statement. I don’t wear a lot of dark lipsticks and definitely not dark purples.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m glad this Lippie Stix was part of their promotion because I would not have bought it on my own but I like this color. For those interested LBB Lipie Stix<\/a> seems like a worthwhile dupe. I liked that I got to try a lip color outside my comfort zone and will maybe venture outside of rose and reds color palette in the future.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Ultra Blotted Lip<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I love a natural red lip, the kind that makes it looks like you’re just blessed with the perfect pout. And while I was not blessed with naturally cherry red lips, ColourPop’s Ultra Blotted Lip in Bit-O Sunny<\/a> makes my dream a reality. This is the perfect summer color and can be used two ways. Because it’s a liquid lipstick\/stain it can be layered to create a more opaque look. In fact, with the brush I find myself putting on too much product.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My preferred way of using it is dabbing just a little on my bottom and top lip and then blending with my fingers. This way allows me more control over how much color I want on my lips. Like all liquid lipsticks from ColourPop, this has incredible staying power. Overall I liked this liquid lipstick\/stain and would definitely buy it again in another color.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Blotted Lip<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Full honesty here, I bought this blotted lip because it looked like Glossier’s Generation G lipstick<\/a> albeit at a cheaper price point. I haven’t tried Glossier’s lipstick but I love ColourPop’s Blotted Lip in Bees Knees<\/a>. This is such a pretty pinkish\/red, a nice matte and very sheer. Like its Ultra Blotted counterpart this look can be layered to create a fuller look or tapping it on for a more sheer, natural look. If you’re going for a natural look I recommend dabbing the lips with this product (kind of hitting the lipstick against your lips) and then blending with fingers. When I put this on like a lipstick it gives my lips a lot of color which sometimes I want and sometimes I don’t. Overall I really like this lipstick and I think the color is very flattering.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can see in the swatches how sheer both lipsticks look when they’re just swiped across but they’re both still very bright reds. I love a lipstick that does double duty and these Blotted Lips definitely get the job done.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Ultra Matte Lip<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

ColourPop describes this Ultra Matte Lipstick<\/a> as a “warm rose” but it’s much darker with some red undertones. It’s a great color, perfect for pulling a look together. I was looking for more of a natural rose lipstick and this is slightly darker than I wanted. Still very pretty and very longlasting though.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Because I need another red lipstick. Saigon<\/a> is a bright, vibrant red with incredible staying power. I can never have enough red lipsticks especially ones that last an entire day. This is a warm toned red and while I usually go for cool-toned reds this has become my new favorite red lipstick.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My only issue with ColourPop’s Liquid Lipsticks is the applicator. With all the excess product on the stick itself, it makes the lipstick seem messy. The plastic-y look makes it feel cheap and like it could bend and break at any moment. The lipsticks are only $6 so I’m not too mad about it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Take 5 was part of the same promo as Fab 5 and while ColourPop doesn’t sell this liquid lipstick anymore it’s actually very similar in color to Bumble. This lipstick for me is just okay. I saw swatches of it on Instagram and thought it would be a nice mauve-rose but it’s just a little bland and a little purple for me. Thankfully it was part of a promo and I at least got to try it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I was trying to branch out when I bought Sizzle<\/a>. I don’t wear a lot of pink shades and while ColourPop describes this as a “warm berry” the swatches made it look pink rather than red. This shade does have some pink in it but it does come off darker than I was expecting, but I like that. I wore Sizzle to the Opera and felt very put together without being flashy (like a bright red would have done). I love this color.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I liked (most of) my purchases at ColourPop and I would order from them again and I’m very excited they’re coming to Sephora soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
