ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks: Swatches + Thoughts

I purchased 13 of the ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks earlier this month:

• Midi • Trap • Succulent • Tulle • Sundae • High Ball • Creeper • Succulent • Pacific • LAX • Mars • Lychee • Zipper •

I thought I’d share my thoughts…

Let me first start by saying that these are the first liquid lipsticks that I’ve played around with so, I can’t compare them to Anastasia, Jeffrey Star, or Kat Von D.

With that being said, here’s what I think:

F O R M U L A
The formula of these lipstick is a tad drying but, from what I hear, most all liquid lipsticks are (at least a little). But as long as you know what you’re doing, it isn’t anything that you can’t work with. I use a Lush Cosmetics Lip Scrub at least 3-4 times a week and I always keep my lips super moisturized at all times, as well as right before applying these lipsticks so, the dryness doesn’t bother me that much. I also like the fact that they are a little bit more on the liquid side. I’ve heard complaints about how runny they are but, I find it makes them easier to apply.

Once these lipsticks are on, they’re on. You can eat, you can drink, you can kiss; no worries. You’re all set. I use coconut oil and my face wash to remove them at the end of my day, it makes things much easier and it’s way more gentle on my lips, obviously.

A P P L I C A T I O N / P I G M E N T A T I O N
The wand is the perfect size in my opinion, and the shape of it makes it super simple to stay within the lines and get a good clean application. As far as pigmentation goes, I have to give these shades a total 10/10. I get compliments all the time when I wear these. They definitely stand out.

Moral of the story, for $6 dollars a pop, you can’t really go wrong with this product.

Have you guys tried any yet? What are your favorite shades? What do you think?
