COLOR POP ULTRA MATTE LIP SWATCHES AND REVIEW

Color pop is/was one of the new makeup brands that took the beauty world by storm! I am assuming the fascination was how affordable they were and how pigmented it was.

Now I usually stray away from liquid lipsticks because of how pasty they can be and I have extremely dry lips. Most liquid lipsticks tend to dry and crack my lips faster (which we all know Hunties is a NO NO!)

It's no wonder it took me a while to catch unto to craze and I must say I'm impressed (I'm not easily impressed). Color Pop ultra matte lip is actually not as drying as other liquid lipsticks, and they feel more like bare lips (that aren't dry but not moisturized either) rather than chalky lips (hope I'm making sense here)

My only issue is the struggle to get it off when you don't have makeup wipes or a cleansing oil, I understand long wear and no transfer but COME ON THESE BABIES STAY ON LIKE A TATTOO!!

I took pictures of swatches on my arm and also pictures of what they look on my lips because, and I don't know if this happens to everyone else, sometimes the swatches on my arm turn out completely different on my lips/eyelids (call me weird) ;

I was sent these particular shades by urban_101 on instagram to review for melanin gals who also happen to have dry lips.

I like most of them on, except Embellish which is the darkest brown (reason: I don't like dark lippies on me)

And for dry lips I'd say moisturize well but after a while they do dry out your lips (so make sure to carry a lip balm)

They retail for 50 Ghc at urban_101
