I am soooo happy that I have finally finally finally jumped onto the Colourpop Cosmetics bandwagon! Heeeeehaaaa!

Today it's gonna be LIPPIE STIX SWATCHES! I am so excited about it. I am so obsessed about Colourpop. They were known for selling all their products at $5 until they release their cheek products. I can't wait to get my hands on it!

Usually I always always always always stay far away from drugstore products partly because of the quality. They tend to be very patchy and dry with tons of fallout(for eyeshadows). However this affordable is different. I've bought 8 lippie stixs and 8 lip pencils which cost me $80usd. I can foresee myself getting their whole collection - one day. As per my previous post, I know many of my friends will go "WHAT? HAVEN'T YOU HAD ENOUGH?". I'm sorry but I'm not sorry! WAHAHAHAAS.  This is how their packaging looks like. Stickers are pasted onto it labeling either lippie stix or lippie pencil. They too either paste a sticker to indicate the name of the products or printed on the packaging itself but I wonder why didn't they do that to their eyeshadow collections. Inside every single packaging contains a paper of the ingredients for the product which I forgot to show. There are 5 different finishes, Glossy, Hyper Glossy, Pearlized, Satin and Matte. I only bought Matte and Satin for myself since I like these finishes best.Green internal for lippie stix and pencil. I really love these bright colours.They came in a white twist up tube. I really love their packaging as I wrote in my first post. They are sleek and fit easily into a purse, very travel and space friendly if that makes any sense. Plus it can be store like an eyeliner pencil in our vanity. Not on your usual lipstick stand.

Colours of the lip pencil is printed at the end of it for easy identification. This is not the twist up lip pencil. You do have to sharpen it.

Colour and name of lippie stix are printed at the bottom along with the type of finishes too. At least I won't have to open every single one of them if I can't remember.

This is taken at 12 noon with natural lighting without any lip pencil. It glides on very smoothly without tagging my lip. As shown in the photo, colours are opaque.  My advise is to exfoliate the lip before applying for the best result so that it doesn't fall into the lines. Every lippie stix is pair up with matching lippie pencil, very remarkable. Even without lipliner, it doesn't bleed and faint. Pretty much every lippie pencil has the same colour as their lippie stix aside from the nude. Some of the nude are a tad darker than their lippie sitx but I think they do complement each other.

The lippie stix has a very faint scent. I smelled either vanilla or a fresh play dough and don't quote me on the scent. They are very creamy hence making it easy to glide it on and it feel hydrating too.

Lumiere: Created by Kathleen Lights. Matte finish. It looks like a rich neutral mauve shade. It doesn't seemed too dark neither too bright. Very creamy texture and pigmentation is real awesome. Despite it being matte, it is not drying.

Frida: Created by Coffee with Dani. Satin finish. Perfect pink, peach and nude hybrid. Warm tone. Easy to match on with any looks. It is creamy and hydrating. Pigmentation is opaque. My most favorite lippie stix of all.

Brink: Matte finish. A warm neutral pinky shade. One or two shade darker than Frida. Some say it is a dupe for Kylie Jenner's famous lip colour. As usual, creamy and hydrating. Not forgetting it is opaque. Do I have to repeat this every time?

Button: Satin finish. A neural pinky peach tone. Much peachy than Frida and lighter than Brink. Opaque. When I was swatching it, the very tip of the lippie broke on me. As you can tell, it is VERY creamy.

Chi Chi: Satin finish. An orange lippie with a hint of red in it. Creamy. Hydrating. Pigmentation is awesome.

Rocket: Satin finish however it looks matte too. It's hot pink but less hot. The tip broke when I first swatched. It was way worse than Button. It can still apply but just not that precise. Luckily Colourpop able to send a new one to me for free.

Fetch: Satin finish. A tone that's darker than Rocket. A warmer pink tone.

Brunch: Satin finish. A warm reddish coral shade. I cannot decide which I like more Brunch or Fetch.

Taken under warm lighting. Those little square are lippie pencil swatches and the rest are layered over lippie pencil. And I ordered BFF lip liner. Even the pencil glides on quite smoothly and easily.

 This is taken under day lighting. Colours didn't change much. Sometimes photos can be deceiving hence I'm exploring how these colours changes under different lighting. Some of the swatches I saw on site and I tried it myself seemed different.

There's one more thing that I want to highlight. Look at the photo below.

I wiped it off after about 6hours of wear. Only those reddish colour stains. Plus this is without lipliner!

Their cheek colours cost $8usd each. If you are a blush hoarder you cannot miss this. And they too release Spring Collection as I'm typing now. SOOO PRETTY. I must thank Yang Pach for it. Wooooohooo!

All About Colourpop!

Hey people! Welcome back!

Guess that you guys all heard of COLOURPOP? If not, read this. Good quality product comes with a...DRUMROLL PLEASE...cheap price! Can't imagine that huh?

I am so into them not because they are in the hype but I am into their pretty awesome quality. Those who knew me well knows that I am ALL ABOUT quality, I cannot highlight that enough. I always buy products with good quality payoff. Oh, I too support indie brand(s)! They need our love.

This badass lippies and shadows comes in a zillion shades and did I mention they too have lip pencils that matches their lippies? EVERY single one of them are paired with a lip pencil. How thoughtful are they? And I am SOOO jealous that residents in USA has free shipping of $30USD and above. However they only shipped to Canada, New Zealand and Australia currently. It pissed me off badly. Why can't they ship to anywhere else too? I'm hoping they can have free shipping for international of $50USD and above, maybe.

Okay, back to Colourpop...They have a tons of vivid, colorful, and loud shadows and lippies at a rock bottom prices, $5 each. Can't hurt my wallet much, which is a good thing for me AND AND AND AND not forgetting they are CRUELTY FREE! OH YEAH! Why not support them? They too reached out to a few of beauty gurus to collaborate, not much brands would do this and by collaborating with these people who we are all familiar and closer with makes me feel that they are trying to connect with us "peasants". Maybe peasants isn't the right word but I can't think of any other words right now, but you do get what I meant.

To be honest, I like their lippie packaging much more than M.A.C's. It's sleek and less bulky, by less bulky I mean it's slimmer. Easy to carry around anywhere, colors and names are printed at the end for easy identification needless of me to open every single bullet to check the colours of the lippie, save tons of hassle and time. They are easy to apply and glide on smoothly only AFTER you exfoliated. So be sure to exfoliated before usage! These lippies stick has a faint scent but it doesn't bother me.

Nothing is perfect. I do realized that some of their packaging colours lippies doesn't reflect the true colours of the lipstick itself. It might confuse some people, like me. Not a huge problem that is. On the side note, they don't really provide a lot of photos of their lippie stixs on their website but I am glad that they took in effort to swatch it on different skin tone and show it to us all on site. Some colours on the web itself doesn't show the true colours, just for the heads up.

They are very pigmented and very creamy. It stay on me for maybe 1-2 hours without reapplying. I often had this problem with lipstick that doesn't last, it wears off after 1 drink. I am grateful that I don't encounter this problem much with Colourpop. They are creamy hence it's not drying and lucky enough they don't bleed.

As for the lip liner, they are not mechanical pencil neither it can be twisted, they do need to be sharpen. They too glide on smoothly without tagging on my lips. Some of their lip pencils are darker than the lippie stix but they do complement each other.

Eyeshadows are pack in singles afraid that they might dry out if they are packed in a bundle without screw on lids. Formula is very creamy and soft like a pressed pigmented with a hint of a spongy consistency. It does reminds me of Makeup Geek's foiled eyeshadows - a hybrid between powder and cream and set as powder. To be honest I am so grateful that it has no fallout, say goodbye to panda's eye.

Now I can't wait for the rest of my colourpop to arrive. Shall upload more of the photos in next post.
