Colourpop and Hello Kitty held a lippie bar pop-up event in California last week where attendees were able to receive an exclusive sneak peek at the collection (the above photos) and were able to swatch some products! Check out a few of the photos below to get your first look at the collection.

Availability: The collection will release on November 1 (Hello Kitty's Birthday) and it is limited edition. It is rumored that the set will be $42 (prices range from $5 - $42) and will be available until February (I don't recommend waiting though - have your shopping plan set for Halloween night).

Colourpop Fall Edit 2016 Liquid Lipsticks Review, Swatches & Photos – Times Square, Viper, Love Bug, Wolfie

First, I'm shooting all of these photos (and possible video if I upload with the new camera so let me know what you guys think). When Colourpop Cosmetics launched their Fall Edit 1 collection, they included a promo to receive 4 free shade if you ordered over a certain amount: Times Square, Viper, Love Bug and Notion (swatched in this previous post). Of course, I received them all (yes, I shop too much) so here's a look at Times Square, Viper, Love Bug and Wolfie that I received in my last order.

  • Times Square ($6) – Ultra Matte Lip
  • Viper ($6) – Ultra Matte Lip
  • Love Bug ($6) – Everyday is Valentine's Day when you wear this rich Terracota in an ultra matte Lip
  • Wolfie ($6) – Leave ‘em howling in this rich rosy pink ultra glossy lip with a flash of gold on top in a Metallic finish

ColourPop Ultra Satin Lips Liquid Lipsticks Review & Swatches - TooLips, Prim, Brooklyn, So Wavy and Panda

I'm working my way through my ColourPop liquid lipstick collection which has ridiculously accumulated over the past 2 years so I'll keep this blog post short and to the point.

ColourPop Cosmetics released a new liquid lipstick collection with an entirely new formula around the end of February/early March 2016 called their Ultra Satin Lips collection. This new liquid lipstick formula is designed to give opaque, long-wearing coverage, however, it isn't transfer-proof and won't dry down completely. Each lipstick is permanent and costs $6.00 for 0.11 fl. oz.

These get a 4 out of 5 from me. I love how soft and comfortable they feel on my lips. As mentioned, they are not transfer proof so I recommend steering clear of these if you're going to be lip locking but otherwise (for $6) get as many as you can.

Here are swatches of TooLips, Prim, Brooklyn, So Wavy and Panda - disclaimer - I am testing out new cameras and lighting positions. The first 3 lip swatches were done with my Sony A5100 camera which alters my skin tone in my LED lights :-/ so I went back to shooting with my Canon T3i Rebel camera so a truer color would show. Let me know which photos you guys prefer.

ColourPop Cosmetics Trust Me Matte X Lippie Review and Swatches On A Woman of Color

Hi love bugs! Today, I wanted to formally introduce you to the new ColourPop Cosmetics Trust Me Matte X Lippie Stix ($5).

IMG_5535

This is a vivid true blue based red matte lipstick that is uber comfortable and not drying on the lips.

IMG_5558 And because we're always trying to find the perfect dupe, I went ahead and made a quick YouTube swatch video of some of my favorite matte lipsticks in my collection that I thought was similar. Check it out and let me know what you think:
