Review: ColourPop Lippie Stix! (Satin & Mattes!)

Lippies With Attitude!

So as you can tell by the picture I gave in! haha. I've been hearing so many great things about the ColourPop Lippie Stix so I decided to place an order a few weeks ago. I love the ColourPop shadows so I definitely had high hopes for these. They are only $5 each so it didn't set me back much at all, plus they offer free shipping on orders of $30 or more.

They have a few different finishes but I stuck with the satins and mattes! It wasn't on purpose though, it just so happened that the bold colors were satins and mattes and we all know how much I love a bold lip! I love their packaging, it's really cute and different! The tube is really sturdy, not cheap feeling by any means. I love that you don't have to fuss with sharpening since they are twistable. 

Let's start with the two satin colors! The formula on these is really nice and comfortable. They last about 5 hours before you notice any fading. I do recommend to use an anti feathering lip liner like the one from Milani to avoid the color from bleeding. The shape of  the lippie makes it super simple to apply, with precision which is important with these colors! I heard that they had a sweet vanilla scent... honestly some do and the rest smell more like plastic which is a bummer.
Here are lip swatches:

*Wifey- a bright lavender pink, not my favorite because it's not the most flattering on my skintone. It went on really smooth though and honestly the name was just too cute!
*Flawless- a deep violet-berry, definitely one of my favorites! Love the color for fall and it's pretty similar to Mac's Rebel but much more affordable. Must have color!

Now we have the mattes! The formula on these is beautiful, a true matte! They are slightly drying upon application so a lip balm is a must. These stay on like super glue... or close to it haha. If you're looking for a super long wearing lipstick this is a great one. For that reason please excuse the lip swatches, it was so hard to swatch them one after another haha. But at least you get the idea of what the colors looks like on ;-)

*Heart On- a bright magenta, such a stunning color! I really love this one, it's a great year round shade.
*Bossy- a blue based red, really pretty and makes your teeth look ultra white!

*Bichette- a deeper wine shade, I was really excited about this color but after wearing it I noticed it wasn't the most unique. Still a pretty color for this time of year though!

*Creature- a blackened burgundy, I was a bit nervous about this one because it looked so dark online, it's more wearable than I thought but you will need a liner with this one for an even color.

Bottom line: For $5 you can't go wrong! The shade range is wide and they recently added some fun colors that I'm hoping to get my hands on soon. They have matching lip liners called "Lippie Pencils" for each Lippie Stix for the same price. I decided to pass on them at first because I personally don't wear liners too often but I do recommend them for the deeper shades for better color payoff and a more precise look! Overall, packaging + formula gets an A+! ColourPop is such a cool brand, make sure to give them a try! :-)
