Limbo is a dark chocolate color yum And, finally LAX this shade has been my go-to ALL WEEK this shade is like velvet on the lips and looks SO flattering I highly recommend all these shades ColourPop is really one of my favorite Ultra Matte Lips because they are comfortable and last long (and hello, the PRICE). Most of the shades lasted me at least 5 hours with minimal eating and drinking. The colours are mostly opaque but they all tend to be a lot lighter and duller on the lips than hand swatches, so it’s best to look at lip swatches before you making your purchasing decisions. Application is a breeze as you can easily line and fill your lips with the doe foot applicator which provided a consistent flow of colour. To sum things up, the lighter shades definitely look more streaky than darker ones. Then, using a damp towel (or cotton puff), remove the product off your lips. Vaseline) and let it sit for a few minutes (in the meantime you can remove the makeup on other parts of your face). To remove matte liquid lipsticks, dab your lips with some petroleum jelly (e.g. If you’re facing the same problem, here’s a tip: The very first time I use these matte liquid lipsticks, I didn’t know how to remove them! Some of them have such great staying power, even my regular makeup wipes couldn’t work. I had to constantly rub my lips (which explains the powdery texture along the corners because I didn’t want to retouch it) so that some colours would transfer to the areas where the lipstick had worn off. There was still quite a fair bit of product left on my lips after spending close to 9 hours outdoor under the sweltering heat, eating and drinking. But as anxious as I was, my excitement soon took over when the delivery man came knocking on my door! That’s 16 days of agonizing wait and also the longest I’ve experienced so far. However, due to high volume of orders being received during that period, my order took a whole 6 business days (as opposed to the usual 3-5 days) to be processed and shipped and another 10 days for it to arrive at my doorstep. Using a freight forwarder (because it’s cheaper that way), I placed my first order with ColourPop early last month when new shades were launched for its matte liquid lipstick range. I am particularly interested in their matte liquid lipsticks because public reception of it has been mainly positive and I was enticed by the promising swatches on Instagram. Since you seem to like neutrals, La La is a pretty rose gold and Drift is a nice neutral-with-a-twist kind of color.Indie brand ColourPop has been all the rage in the social media scene lately because of its dirt cheap cosmetics (I’m talking about US$5 on average for every item) and honestly, even as a MAC loyalist I found it hard to resist the temptation to lay hands on their products.įor those not in the know, ColourPop is a rather new online-only American beauty brand that offers mainly single eye shadows, lipsticks (like, literally retractable long lip sticks), liquid lipsticks, blush, bronzer and highlighter. You may end up liking both! I highly recommend grabbing at least one lip liner from them too because the lip liners rival even my Mac ones.Īs for eyeshadow, you need Boy Band. On the other hand the Ultra Mattes last virtually all day but most of them dry out your lips! I would just get one or two of each in colors you like and see which you like better. In my experience, the lipstick slides off your lips relatively easily even with lipliner (I wore one out to a party over lip liner and it still came off super easily even when I just drank something… not cute) but I haven’t found them to be drying at all. ultra mattes really depends on your preferences. Limbo and Stingraye are both available for $6. Think of it as a moister and more comfortable incarnation of the original formula. It still is as transfer- and life-proof as the original formula, but much of the dryness has been taken away. The revamped formula used for Stingraye has improved significantly upon the original, however! It’s much more forgiving and feels more comfortable once it dries down. A lip liner definitely helps the dryness aspect. It feels dry pretty much as soon as it sets, but it doesn’t become uncomfortable until a few hours in. It’s generally unforgiving and doesn’t take too well to reapplication, but it’s pretty long-wearing (more or less 8 hours as long as you don’t eat anything oily or greasy) so touchups usually aren’t necessary. To recap, the original Ultra Matte formula is thin but opaque and for the most part applies pretty evenly. Limbo is the “classic” Colourpop formula (see: Tulle), but Stingraye got a revamped formula, and it is wonderful. The formula is where it gets a bit interesting.
