Top 4 Favorite Shades of ColourPop Lippie Stix Swatched & Reviewed

The ColourPop craze hit the makeup crazy fans long back. I had been eyeing a few products myself and finally took the plunge to add some of their lipsticks to my stash.

ColourPop is a company based in USA and in the month of May they had a promotion going on where they were giving free ground and international shipping. I did not want my lipsticks to get stuck at customs and so got these delivered to a friend's place in USA.

I got four lippie stix, 1 Ultra Satin Liquid Lipstick and a lip primer. As part of my order I got two mini Ultra Satin lipsticks free.

I spent quite a lot of time online trying to narrow down the shades  I wanted.
In this post I will be sharing my top 4 favorite shades from ColourPop Lippie Stix.

The ColourPop Lippie Stix come in a white plastic casing. The end tip of the stick is color coded to represent the lipstick shade. I think the packaging is very attractive without being flashy at all.

There are a total of around 62 shades in the lippie stix category with textures ranging from Matte, Satin, Matte X, and Crème. Different shades come in different textures so you can't just pick a shade and then chose the texture you want it in.

Price: $5 (after conversion charges this comes out to be around Rs 400)

The shades that I picked out are Contempo, Cami, Parker and Lumière.

Cami Lippie Stix is an ultra matte cool toned mauve lipstick. This is the most drying of all the lippie stix that I have but the color is absolutely gorgeous.

FACES Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayon - Midnight Rose 12 - Review, Price, Swatch

Wearing lipstick is one thing, playing with crayons is another - or is it? FACES has comes out with a range of eye and lip products called Crayons. These products are like chubby sticks of lipstick and eyeshadow that are really fun to play with.

FACES Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayon - Midnight Rose 12 - Review, Price, Swatch

Today I'm sharing a review of the FACES Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayon Midnight Rose. A stunning red lip color that is bound to look great on all skin tones.

The lip crayons come with a plastic cap to prevent them from breaking. You need a large sharpener to  create the pointed tip. And yes this will lead to product wastage but the pencil is large enough to last a long time.

Price: Rs 799 (2.8 gm)

The texture of these lip crayons is extremely smooth. The crayon glides on your lips giving a streak free application. The finish is matte and quite long lasting. The lipstick feels weightless on your lips.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - Cherish - Review, Swatch and FOTD

I have the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in the shade Cherish. Its a blue based light pink shade which we will talk about in a bit. The lip balm stain itself has a peppermint fragrance which is not too strong on the lips (but if you have a very sensitive nose you will get bothered by the fragrance until it dies off in about 10  minutes) The stain needs to be applied to well exfoliated lips else it shows up patchy on the lips. It does feel cool on application because of the peppermint I think.

The Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains come in thick pencil forms. The pencil is of the same color as the product inside. The end of the pencil is silver in color while the cap is the same as the rest of the body. It is a retractable pencil so you never need to sharpen it.

Maybelline 14 hour Lipstick Lasting Chestnut - Review and Swatches

Maybelline had launched its 14 hour lipstick sometime back. I was planning on buying one for myself when I actually won it in their contest. I was so excited to have won this lipstick but was a bit disappointed when I saw the shade they had sent me. They sent Lasting Chestnut which was is a brown shade. But, a prize is a prize and so I happily applied it on my lips.

Shimmery Bronze On My Lips–Faces Glam On Lipstick Review

Are you a fan of bronze shades on your lips? If yes, then this is a review just meant for you. Today I am reviewing the Face Glam On Lipstick in shade Burnt Sienna. All of you who have dabbled in paints would know that burnt Sienna is actually a very deep brown color. But this lipstick is actually a shimmery bronze.
The packaging of the lipstick is a gunmetal black plastic with a silver ring in the middle that has the Faces logo.
