The Ultra Matte Lipsticks by ColourPop are among my favourite lip products. They tick all the boxes in terms of affordability, and quality. The 'It's Vintage' set of minis were released as part of their Fall 2016 collection, but you can still purchase the full-size products individually (with the exception of one: Bianca). This review has been long overdue, but I thought it was still worth sharing. Especially considering that I got myself the full size version of Tulle recently.

Price of the 'It's Vintage' set: $18.00 (roughly around Rs. 2,800.00)

Price of full size Ultra Matte Lip: $6.00 (roughly around Rs. 940.00)
NET WT. Mini Liquid Lipsticks: 0.64g (0.023oz)
NET WT. Full Size: 3.2g (0.11oz)

Claims:

Ultra Matte Lip: This thin, lightweight formula smoothly glides on the lips leaving SUPER intense pigment with a bold, ultra-matte look. It is very long-wearing and 100% kiss-proof AKA no transferring!

Description of shades according to ColourPop Website:

Bianca: soft mauve
Love Bug:  rich mahogany

Tulle:  dusty burgundy

Notion:  deepened raspberry

LAX:  vampy red

Packaging:

The liquid lipsticks comes in a plum-berry box which bears the ColourPop logo with little gold wasps embossed in it-very Fall appropriate!

Each lipstick comes in their regular packaging of a clear tube with a silver cap, which bears the name of the brand in holographic silver print and the name of the shade on the bottom. The mini applicator is your average doe-foot applicator.

*On my skin tone the shades turned out to be somewhat different.

Bianca: Pale Pink

Love Bug:  Rich Mahogany




I've already reviewed Love Bug on my blog. You already know how I feel about deep and dark lip colours. This lasted around 6 hours in general on my lips. It's a little difficult to reapply but nothing that bothers me too much.

Tulle:  Dusty Pink with Purple Undertones

Notion:  Deep Plum

This is a stunning plum shade that would be perfect for a night out. The product has rich pigmentation resulting in coating my lips in one swipe. The fine lines are not highlighted by the formula. It survived a breakfast of toast and a lunch of rice and vegetarian curries (non-oily). This one lasted in general for about 7 hours with needing to touch-up on the inner corners of my lips. 

LAX:  Vampy Brown with Red Undertones

This was the shade I was looking forward to trying the most, and it was the biggest let-down when I did eventually try it. This was quite patchy on my lips and I made the mistake of smacking my lips before the product dried down completely and whatever was applied on the bottom lip completely came off. Next time, I tried waiting for it to dry and built the colour up which seemed to work, but honestly the struggle didn't seem worth it. This is especially so because my lips felt heavy afterwards. It is also quite drying, which made it very uncomfortable to wear. This lasted for 4 hours on my lips, which is the only duration I could comfortably keep the product on for. It became quite clear that I'd have to keep the lippie in my purse for constant reapplications which is disappointing.

Would I recommend it?:

Having tried the minis, if you're of a medium/ tan skin tone, I'd recommend getting the full size versions of Tulle, Notion and Love Bug as they will NOT let you down. LAX however, SMH 😞.
