Let’s talk about ColourPop.
I needed to get my little hands on their newest product, their Ultra Matte lipstick. This is a liquid formula, similar to Stila’s Stay All Day, Lime Crime’s Velvetines, and Anastasia Beverly Hills’ liquid lipsticks. I find that the ColourPop formula is thinner than the Stila, but perhaps not as liquidy as the Lime Crime. It doesn’t matter- it’s fabulous.
I don’t throw the f-word (fabulous) around. This stuff is good. I ate taquitos and there was barely any fading. TAQUITOS.
Darn, now I’m hungry.
Let me show you the shades I got. I was going for everyday wearable shades. You’ll find that I only half-succeeded.

Trap, Beeper and Kapow are significantly darker than I expected. Kapow is a no-go for work, but I may be able to work Trap, Beeper and Shimmy in. I’m still experimenting with Seesaw. Nevertheless, I’m super in love with all of these.
What about dupes, you may ask?

If you have some popular MAC mattes, you may already have something similar to these shades. Granted, the formula is entirely different. So it’s up to you. After all, CPop is only $6USD!
