A few months ago one of my co-workers came to work really excited! You see, the evening before she was at a restaurant, and there was a woman there who was wearing a red lipstick which didn't budge AT ALL throughout her meal. It turned out that the woman had on one of Colour Pop's Ultra Matte Lips (super pigmented, long-lasting lip gloss).
I had never heard of Colour Pop before and I was intrigued by a lip product that could truly last through a meal, so I decided to order a few lip glosses. The prices are very good ($6.00 USD), but there are sooo many shades that it's a bit overwhelming!
After going back and forth, the shades I ended up getting were: 4 Ultra Matte Lips (Lumière 2, Avenue, Dr. M, and Bumble) and 1 Ultra Satin Lip (London Fog). In this post I'm going to briefly show you each of them:
For me this is the trickiest colour to wear. Because the shade is so pale, it washes me out pretty badly.
This is a very deep red - my favourite shade ever!
I ordered this one for fun to see if I could pull it off. The shade is mesmorizing, but definitely not an everyday kind of colour. I have a feeling I'll use this one only for Halloween.
I love this shade so much! Sadly, my picture doesn't do this colour justice. Colour Pop describes this colour as a "dusty warm terracotta." I think that's pretty appropriate. I can see this shade working on pretty much anyone. 😊
I keep forgetting how much I love London Fog until I have it on. Not sure why my camera kept turning the colour so bright - in person London Fog is a lot more red than pink/orange. The finish is satin-like, so not entirely matte and not entirely glossy. I think I prefer this type of finish because my lips don't look as dry.
Here are the swatches side-by-side and in different lighting:
