ColourPop Matte X Lippie Stix Poppin Review, Swatches
By Saniya
Hello NLM Squad,
This is my very first post on New-Love Makeup. Being from an Engineering background never thought I would be doing a Review on Makeup & Beauty Products LOL. But thanks to my latest addiction for Makeup and Skin Care Products which landed me here. Thank you NLM for being an Ocean for Makeup and Beauty Lovers like me 🙂 I am really excited to share my thoughts on this super cute baby which I got during my ColourPop Haul from the US. So without further ado let’s get into the review.
Price: 5$
Availability: ColourPopCosmetics.com , beautybuyindia.com and some Instagram Stores [Beware of the fakes though]
Product Claims for this Shade: If you need us we’ll be poppin bottles in this vibrant raspberry .
Shades Available: ColourPop keeps on adding new shades to their Lippie Stix Collection and I bet each one of us would definitely have something or the other to choose from their numerous shade range.
Packaging: ColourPop is famous all over the social media for their lovely white packaging. The lippie stix comes in a white cardboard box with the brand’s website and address specified and the shade is mentioned on the bottom of the box as well as at the bottom of the lipstick. The packaging is sturdy and travel friendly.
You just need to twist the lipstick so that the product slides upwards and becomes available for application. It has a white cap which clicks when shut.
Texture: The texture of these lippie stix is velvety matte, but at the same time it feels quite smooth and soft during application.
Shade and Pigmentation: Intensely pigmented, with a great raspberry pink shade, these lippie stix have won my heart as far as pigmentation is concerned. Just one swipe is all you need.
My Thoughts:
The only thing that made me by these lippie stix was the hype over the entire social media. I love the packaging and the pigmentation, but other than that these did not impress me. The shade being bold would be great for festive or party looks.They are easy for application and the edgy design can be used to outline the lips and the flatter end be used to fill in the lips. This shade stains, bleeds and transfers a lot.
Staying power is around 3-4 hours without any munching, but if you are like me who like to eat and simultaneously does not like when a lipstick transfers to coffee mugs, spoon, etc while eating I would not recommend this. Also the matte formula of the lippie stix settles into fine lines and becomes really difficult for removal.
Pros:
- Great Packaging.
- Highly pigmented.
- Affordable.
- Sleek & Travel friendly design.
- Cruelty free.
- Numerous shades to pick from
- Velvety matte formula
- Super comfortable on the lips
Cons:
- Availability in India.
- Settles into fine lines.
- Not transfer proof
- Oil based makeup remover is required for removal.
Overall Thoughts: For the price, packaging and pigmentation these lippie stix are a great buy. I would personally not buy these again because I hate when a lipstick stays on the lips less and stains on every other thing else more.
Rating : 3.5/5
Editor’s Note: That’s a pretty shade. I personally love the Matte X formula as its matte yet non drying and super comfortable. Plus super pigmented. Nice review Saniya, welcome to NLM 🙂
