Colourpop Review + Swatches.

Hey guys! Hope you all are doing well.

In this week’s post, I will be reviewing Colourpop lipsticks. 

Colourpop has been a rage in the United States for quite a while now. They are popular for their lip products particularly their liquid lipsticks that are available in different finishes.My personal collection includes a mix of the Ultra Matte Lip, Ultra Satin Lip and Lippie Stix. Their products are only available on their website and sadly they do not deliver in India. Fortunately for us, Colourpop products are available on beautytales.co.in at very affordable prices. Very often they have amazing sales and deals. To receive regular updates about their sales, I suggest you follow them on Instagram.

The Kylie Cosmetic Lip kits are produced at a sister factory of Colourpop. Thus they have the same formulation and less than half the price. Colourpop also has a lot of dupes for popular big end liquid lipsticks like the Kylie Cosmetic Lip kits, the Jeffery Star liquid lipsticks and the Kat Von D liquid lipticks.




The Colourpop Ultra Matte and Satin Lip

Price
They are sold for Rs.720 each for 3.2g on beauty tales.co.in.

Fragrance 
They have a neutral smell that goes away within a few minutes of application.

Longevity
The Ultra Matte Lip have the best longevity I have seen till date. Without eating and drinking, they look exactly the same for upto 10 hours. If you are eating or drinking, the lipstick tends to go away from the centre of the lip however it leaves a stain of the lip.

Packaging
Each liquid lipstick comes in a box which is white and has the type mentioned on it in silver. The top and bottom of the box are also colour coded according to their finish. The Ultra Matte Lip boxes are orange and the Ultra Satin Lip boxes are yellow.Each liquid lipstick comes in a transparent glass tube with the name of the shade on the bottom. It has a silver cap with a long applicator.

Comfort
The Ultra Matte Lip might be a little drying for a few people so I suggest you can wear a lip balm under it. The Ultra Satin Lip is super comfortable on the lips.

Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip Kit In Kitty

Colourpop had launched mini lip kits which include 5 mini Ultra Matte Lips. They are available in 2 variants, Kitty and Foxy. Each kit is sold for Rs.2000. I got my hands on Kitty which has the following colours:

Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in Bianca



Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in Times Square



Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in Be Merry



Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in Glitter



 

Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in Last Dance


Colourpop Lippie Stix

Price
They are sold for Rs.610 each on beauty tales.co.in.

Fragrance
They have a neutral smell that goes away within a few minutes of application just like the Coloupop Ultra Matte and Satin Lip.

Longetivity
They last for 7-8 hours without eating and drinking. They do not satin the lips like the Colourpop Ultra Matte and Satin Lip.

Packaging
The box that these come in is similar to the Colourpop Ultra Matte and Satin Lip with a purple top and bottom. They come in retractable crayons with a white body. The shade is shown on the bottom along with its name. Once the cap is removed, the remaining part of the body is also colour coordinated to the shade. This part can be turned and the lipstick comes up.

Comfort 
Since they are not liquid lipsticks, they are pretty comfortable on the lips despite being matte.

My Personal Collection
Colourpop Lippie Stix Matte X in Pillow Talk.
Colourpop Lippie Stix Matte X in Back Up.

My Verdict
Overall I like all the Colourpop products. However there are a lot of creamy lipsticks similar to the Colourpop Lippie Stix in terms of formula. I would recommend you purchase it only for a unique shade. On the other hand, the Colourpop Ultra Matte and Satin Lip have the most amazing formula I have tried along with some amazing shades. I personally believe this is a must have in your collection for every girl.

That is all for this post. Hope you found it useful in some way. We will be back with a new post next week. If you have any suggestions or questions, leave it down as a comment.
