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.

Madam Glam Lip Gloss Love Affair and Sangria - Review, Swatches

I am already a big fan of Madam Glam nail polishes and today I have some makeup from the brand to share - the Madam Glam lip glosses. Madam Glam Lip Gloss is an amazingly pigmented gloss. I would rather call it a liquid lipstick. I have two beautiful shades from the lip lacquer collection which I am sharing today.

Madam Glam Lip Gloss Love Affair and Sangria - Review, Swatches

The lip gloss comes in a cuboid tube with a clear body so that you can see the product inside. The cap is black and each lip gloss has a good amount of product inside. Madam Glam lip glosses are high and are said to be enhanced with the exotic fruit, Cupuacu, making it rich in Vitamins A,B and C as well as at least nine antioxidants.

Gorgeous Cosmetics Lipsticks Muse and Dusk - Review, Swatches

Whoever said a girl could have enough lipsticks was totally wrong! When I see a good rose brown colored lipstick I know I have to give it a try and when I see two that look almost similar I surely have to try because now I need to find out which one looks better!

I came across this brand of cosmetics online and decided to try a few products after falling curiously in awe of these lipsticks. The brand is called Gorgeous Cosmetics. These are mainly available in the USA and Australia (but you can purchase these lipsticks online).

Gorgeous Cosmetics Lipsticks Muse and Dusk - Review, Swatches

The lipsticks I got are called Muse and Dusk. Both are very similar looking shades but very different in texture. Muse is a soft rose pink in matte and Dusk is again a soft rose pink but creamy. Dusk is slightly more deeper in tone. Both are my absolute MLBB shades. These are shades that don't look over the top no matter what the occasion yet add the right amount of brightness to your face.

ColorBar Take Me As I Am - Bare Dare Pink 003 - Review and Swatches

Chubby lip pencils look very cute to me, that is the reason I purchased this lipstick from Colorbar. This is from the Take Me As I Am range. Here is a quick review of this pencil for those who have yet to try these out.

ColorBar Take Me As I Am - Bare Dare Pink 003 - Review and Swatches

The pencil has a black body and a black plastic cap. Its a chubby pencil which comes with a sharpener so that you don't need to purchase one separately - thank God for that! 

It comes packed in a silver colored box which has details about the product as well as the ingredient list. The packaging states that it is an extremely soft and creamy product with good color pay-off.

ColorBar Take Me As I Am - Bare Dare Pink 003 - Review and Swatches

I bought this long back and this was an instinctive purchase because I just loved the color when the SA swatched it on my hand. I have the color Bare Dare Pink number 003. Its a soft neutral pink with brown undertones - more like an MLBB shade.

Maybelline Moisture Extreme - Dusty Rose - 811

Searching through my mom's vanity I chanced upon this beauty from Maybelline. This lipstick is from the Maybelline Moisture Extreme range and the shade is 811 - a gorgeous brown pink (flesh tone?) called Dusty Rose.

Maybelline Moisture Extreme - Dusty Rose

The lipstick is almost finished as you can see. And hey it looks so much similar to my nail paint - that is Sally Hansen Calming Cocoa on my nails reviewed HERE. Coming back to the lipstick, it is extremely smooth and moisturizing, stays on without food for a good 3 hours, but does not leave behind any stains when it wears off. 

The Dusty Rose is a color that will suit all skin tones, on fairer skins this will appear more darker while for wheatish or dark skinned girls this can be your MLBB shade. There is no shimmer or glitter and the shade just makes the lips look extremely moisturized.

Maybelline Moisture Extreme lipsticks are discontinued in a lot of places but you can still buy them from amazon.com for $4 or in India from medplusbeauty.com for around Rs 200. At this price these are a must have in every kitty!

Lotus Herbals Pure Color Lipstick - Rose Wood - Review

Soft lips with a natural rose brown color - exactly what I needed. I am too shy to don a bright red or coral on my lips. Even darker shades make me feel a bit uncomfortable unless its a wedding that I need to attend. So I keep hunting for soft natural looking colors, something to give my face a gentle lift without making me too concious of what I have on my lips. I found one such shade in the Lotus Herbals Pure Color lipsticks range - Rose Wood (641)

What's On My Lips - Maybelline Watershine Lipstick Ice Tea - Review

This week I am doing a series of posts on lip products, lipsticks and lip glosses that I haven't shared yet.

The first one in the series is a lipstick from Maybelline which I bought a couple of years ago, wore it almost every day to work and still love it. The shade is from the Maybelline Watershine range and is called Ice Tea.
Its a nude lip color, MLBB (my lips but better) shade and works perfectly for the day time.

The watershine range of lipsticks are super smooth in texture. The one I have is an older packaging which is a pink colored plastic. There is a sticker on the bottom which mentions the shade name and number.
