![]() 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. Colourpop always tries to provide a light, medium and dark skin tone swatch to almost every product they offer.L-r: Wild Nothing (UML), Teeny Tiny (UML), Frick N' Frack (USL), Stud (USL), Beeper (UML) However, everyone’s skin tone is different and the lipstick will appear unique to every person who purchases a product. ![]() I do not have much negative remarks about the Lippie Stix other than perhaps some colors could be brighter or darker than they appear on the online swatches. They’ll always offer, if not the same color lipliner, than an excellent color option to use with the lipsticks. One feature of Colourpop that is really an excellent option when purchasing a Lippie Stick or actually any lip product they offer, is every color has a corresponding lip liner to accompany the lipstick. I am personally not a huge gloss or sheer finish person, but they do offer them in the Lippie Stix. I will say, I only own matte, matte x and satin formulas. I would say the Lippie Stix offer a very wide range of colors, similar to the rest of the Colourpop brand and have many different finishes. They were my first purchase I ever made with the company and I believe they’re by far some of the best lipsticks I own. The Lippie Stix are my favorite line or category out of everything in Colourpop Cosmetics.
