Colour Pop Review: Wow to Meh......

Hello again! So as promised....I am letting you know about my experience with Colour Pop Cosmetics! There has been so much hype about these products and for the most part, it's well deserved. If you have been on any type of social media, you have heard of Colour Pop. If you haven't....get out from under that rock!!!! So here it goes, my honest review. I purchased these products on my own and I am not being paid for this review.

So lets begin with the ordering. I ordered 6 products, 4 ultra matte lipsticks and 2 super shock shadows, along with a e-gift card for my niece. I placed my order on January 13th and I paid via Paypal. Now Colour Pop does state that the order takes 3-5 business days to process, however, it does not state that if you pay with Paypal, your processing will be considerably longer. The funds cleared my account in about 2 days.....it took Colour Pop about 2 weeks from the payment posting to my account before they began processing my order. The gift card I ordered for my niece was emailed to hard way after her birthday which really made me upset. Then it took about another 1.5 weeks before I received my order. I was not happy with this process at all. My suggestion....do not order by Paypal if you are not willing to wait a month for your products to arrive!

 

Once the products arrived, I was impressed with the packaging as well as the colors of the products I order. In the ultra matte liquid lipsticks I got: LAX, KAPOW, BEEPER, and BEDAZZLE. The super shock shadows I ordered were Weenie, and Tea Party. Let me just say....the pigmentation and color pay off of these products are amazing! You can't beat the price and in my opinion, which makes the quality you get a steal! Unfortunately, I only have a cell phone camera so I was not able to get you good swatch pics. I will update the blog later when I get some good pics. In a peace offering, I do have a decent picture of me in the Bedazzle ultra matte liquid lipstick....this color is by far my fave!!!!

 

 

 

Now, this isn't a review unless I give you the low down! As I stated before, the pigment is amazing on both the lippies and eye shadows. However, these matte lipsticks can be very uncomfortable to wear. They can be very drying and get a big crumbly in the middle. To combat this, I put my old trusty Vaseline or a lip balm on prior to applying the lipstick, this helps a ton!!! These lipsticks stay on for hours and you will get a bit of transfer, but nothing serious enough that your lipstick will come off. Please note...if this stuff gets on your skin and dries...it ain't coming off! So please be careful. The shadows are also great and are best applied with your finger. Weenie is the best rose gold I have seen and it looks beautiful on any skin tone! Tea Party is too light for me and it has chunky glitter, which I hate. It comes off ashy on me so I will either give it away, or find another use for it. All in all, these products are great. You can't beat the price so if something doesn't work for you, didn't lose a bank roll!

 

That's all I have on this one ladies....stay tuned for my review on my February Ipsy bag!

Peace!

Review: Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick

Okay, so you all know I'm obsessed with hair. Well, my other two obsessions are make up and nail polish! With that said, I have been working on building my lipstick collection. I'm not interested in having a bunch of lipsticks that I can't wear just for the sake of owning them, I want them to be good colors for me and colors I will wear...often! So far, I have only obtained one lipstick that I won't be caught dead in and I'm willing to swap!


So let's get started! First on my list of lipsticks that I am loving is Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick in colors Spellbound and Embrace. These lipsticks are very opaque, and last ALL DAY! I mean, the quality is very comparable to MAC, I may like them a little better, actually! Why you ask, well these colors are pretty matte, but they are not nearly as drying as the MAC. The Covergirl Lip Perfection lipsticks are an excellent formula as they glide on smoothly, a little goes a long way, they are opaque, vibrant, and long lasting. I mean, it doesn't get much better than that!

Above is Embrace. This color is absolutely GORGEOUS! My fave lipstick, hands down! This stuff is a blue/purple/pinkinsh color! It cam come off magenta or fuschia, depending on how deep of a color you apply or blot it. It's a bold color without being too daring. Wears very well and is SUPER pretty! I get compliments EVERY time I wear it.

Spellbound, pictured above, is a nice, bright blueish pink. This has a nice matter finish and is very opaque. I don't wear it as often, but when I want a nice bold, pink, lip, I reach for this. This goes on nice and smooth and again, lasts ALL DAY!

If you haven't tried these lipsticks, I highly recommend you check them out. High end quality wear with a drug store price tag. It don't get much better than that! All my lippie lovers, this is one for the books!

Peace
