Colourpop Ultra Satin Lips In London Fog Review & Swatches









Colourpop has released a new line of the Ultra Satin lips. These are the "cousin" of the Ultra Matte Lips, as Colourpop describes it. They released this in 16 new shades and I picked up 5 shades. I have done some reviews on other shades already HERE , HERE so be sure to check those shades out as well. Colourpop kept the packaging the same as their Ultra Matte lips so nothing new here. It is a glass tube and you can see the shade through it. 

London Fog is a beautiful red shade with tons of blue undertones to it. This shade isn't that true red and that light red it is the prefect in between red shade. At first I thought I would not like this shade, but once I wore it, it looks beautiful. The formula of this shade is pretty nice, it goes on very smooth but does not dry out to a complete matte finish. One thing I did notice about this shade is that you can feel it on your lips. Like other Ultra Satin shades you cant really feel that there is something on your lips. With this shade it feels a bit heavy I would say. It goes on very nice on the lips and is very soft, also it does not settle onto my dry patches. This shade lasted me about five hours with eating and drinking. It sure is transferable so be careful while eating or kissing. This shade is very pigmented so you really don't need to layer more than once. Over all I am very impressed with this shade and the formula, it is perfect for spring and summer. Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on this shade.Thank you so much for reading and have a great day.

NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Soft Spoken Review & Swatches







Recently NYX Cosmetics has been coming out with lots of new great products. They also have come out with liquid lipsticks (reviews coming soon) and these liquid suede lipsticks. Actually these days it seems like every company is coming out with some sort of liquid lipsticks. From high end to drugstore you can find a great liquid lipstick. The packaging is super simple, with the name written on the tube. Also the tube is almost the shade of the lipstick. 

Soft Spoken is a beautiful soft nude shade that compliments my skin very well. Finally a nude shade that I like on my skin! The applicator is sponge so it is very easy to apply this lipstick on your lips without messing up. Now lets talk about the amazing formula of this lipstick. As you can tell by the name suede, this lipstick is super soft, thin, light weight and creamy. Once you apply it on your lips you really don't feel like you have any product applied. It does dry down to a semi matte finish but mostly it is satin. As you all know my lips are super dry and patchy, but this lipstick did not cling to my dry patches. It gave me an even coat of lip product and did not dry up on me. One thing that I did notice was how long it took for the lipstick to dry. It took more than five minutes and still around 7-8 minutes it was that dry. The lipstick lasted more than 5 hours on my lips without fading or flaking. Over all I am super impressed with this Liquid Suede Cream lipstick from NYX. It is very affordable and there are a lot of other different shades in the collection. Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on this lipstick. Thank you for reading and have a great day.

Colourpop Ultra Satin Lips in Panda Review & Swatches









Colourpop has released a whole new collection of Ultra Satin Lips. Of course I had to pick up some shades and review for you all. As you all have seen in my previous post I love Colourpop cosmetics. It is a great brand and very affordable, it this is not available in your country it will be coming soon. They kept the packaging same as the Ultra Matte lipsticks, so nothing new here with the packaging. 

Panda is a pretty dark pink shade with hints of purple or violet in it. This shade is beautiful for every skin tone, especially it will look great on darker skin tones. The formula of this lipstick is not that great, it goes on super patchy and is very dry. I noticed right away that it is not smooth as the other shades. It is such a shame that it is a beautiful shade but formula isn't great at all. As you can see from the swatches that it is dry looking and patchy. I have dry lips and it did not settle on my lips at all. You can layer this shade to make it look less patchy, but with dry lips it makes it look worse. But I am in love with the shade so I will wear it. It lasted me almost four hours because it cracked away. But the shade is super pigmented. Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on this shade. Thank you for reading and have a great day.
