I recently found a website that you can purchase Colourpop lipsticks from! I find that in the UK they are pretty hard to get your hands on.
The major issue i have with buying make-up (lipsticks in particular) online is that you never truly know what the colour is going to look like. Even after looking through and watching countless swatch videos on YouTube - you just never know what they will look like until they arrive.
There were countless shades that i loved and wanted but i restricted myself to buying only two.
I got the shades 'Scrooge' and 'Donut' on the website i felt that these shades definitely were different looking on the website.
Scrooge looked like a pinky red colour and when i put it on my lips its more of a dark purple colour - perfect for the autumnal weather Scotland has got at the moment. This one i am happy with the colour and feel like i would wear it during this time of the year.
Donut look like this really lovely pinky nude colour. I had been looking for nice nude colour that would be perfect for every day wear. When it came its a very patchy pink colour. I tried it just on my bare lips when they first came as i was so excited to try them. Donut went on very patchy and doesn't even dry even. I thought putting a base of lip balm might help it even out but that doesn't even seem to work :/ its a little frustrating.
Scrooge goes on so lovely and dries completely even. So I am a bit stumped as to why this is as they are the same formula.
The right is Donut and the left is Scrooge
The formula is very different from liquid lipsticks such as the Kylie ones or even Kat Von D - they are very runny and i don't think they go on as smoothly as the others. You most probably need a lip liner as they very easily bleed onto the outside of the lip.
In my opinion i would stick to the darker colours as from reading at lot of reviews they seem to go on easier and look nicer.
To be completely honest i am disappointed - i had heard a lot of good stuff about these lipsticks but i think i will stick to the Kat Von D ones as i know they are amazing!
Thanks For Reading
