Mini Colourpop Liquid Lipsticks Haul

This is my first purchase from Colourpop and I only bought liquid lipsticks and a gift for a friend. Colourpop liquid lipsticks are only $6 a piece. With other promos included, colourpop is a really affordable cosmetic brand for those on a budget. I liked the packaging it came in. There was a pamphlet that taught you different makeup looks along with a little postcard that seemed to be personally written by a little girl. I thought that was really cute. A plus with this brand is that Colourpop is cruelty free, which I appreciate, but they are not entirely vegan. Some of their products are vegan, just make sure to check the ingredients in each product.

Mini Haul

Guess (Ultra Matte)

Swatch on my lips

The color is a beautiful deep purple that can pass as black sometimes. It makes my teeth look super white. I love the color but the formula for this color is a pass. I needed 2 layers of this to make it look decent on my lips. It was too patchy with just one layer. This liquid lipstick dries down to a true matte and can be very drying even if your lips are well moisturized. Because this formula is super matte, it is kiss proof except in my inner lip where there is slight moisture. If you already have this color I would suggest a hydrating lip liner underneath. Another con for me was that it flakes after several hours of wear. I would overall pass on this color.



Petit Four (Ultra Satin)

The color is a medium gray with a mix of blue. It looks more like a blue lipstick with a hint of gray in person. This lipstick clashes with my yellow undertone and it looks worse on me as I tan. This formula is not kiss proof and is slightly tacky even after letting it set. It is a comfortable on the lips, but if I press my lips together and pull them apart there is some stickiness. I think this lippie is good for someone who wants to try new and bolder colors. Overall this lipstick is comfortable, but I would recommend it to to paler girls or deep skin girls with pink to neutral undertones.



Tulle (Ultra Matte)

This color looks way darker than it seems online and in the tube. It is a deep burgundy with an equal mix of wine and red. This is not a 'my lips but better' color on me. Tulle reminds me of the "Kylie Jenner lip color" from a couple of years ago. It is a comfortable matte, but it does have slight transfer in the inner rim of the lip even after letting it set. When removing it with coconut oil, I get a slight stain on my lips but that is not a turn off for me. I would recommend this lippie to everyone.




Marshmallow (Ultra Satin)

This color is a lavender with a mix of gray. This color looks more like a muted, pastel purple on my lips. I really like this color because it is unique. I think this color is more flattering on tan to deeper skin tone girls because of the contrast it would give. I'm personally trying to get use to the color on me. The formula itself is similar to Petit Four which is comfortably, a little tacky, and not kiss proof. I think if you want to try a color not in your collection, I would recommend this color.
