Hey girls
I’m back with a colourpop review, I know again 😛 I just cant stop raving over this brand. It’s one of the best ones I have ever tried. The name of this colour always reminds me of Silento’s song Nae Nae 😀 I usually dont too many bold shades but I am slowly coming out of my comfort zone and giving some of them a go. I love MAC’s Lustre finishes so when Colourpop came out with their sheer lippie stixs I thought I would give them a try too. Read on to know more 🙂
Price – $6
Availability – www.colourpop.com and in India a lot of Instagram stores like lachicwick, shopyouraddiction, beautytales.in etc
I ordered two Sheer finish lipsticks one is a neutral everyday shade and the other this muted purple pink. This colour looks so bold in the tube that I was almost scared to put it on haha. But because it is a sheer finish it is not in your face bright. It’s a soft purple shade which leans a lot on the pinker side. The quantity is about 1gm which is good enough for me.
The pigmentation is really good considering it is a sheer finish. I usually go in multiple swipes to get complete opaque colour. The fragrance of this is something I dont enjoy too much contrary to my other Colourpop lippies. It smells very plasticky to me. I wish they had the same Vanilla fragrance as the other ones. The shade has a very nice almost glossy finish like a very thin layer of film or something. It covers the lip lines pretty well.
This one does transfer and the staying power is not too amazing which is understood because of its finish. It stays on for 4-5 hours and may need reapplication depending on how much you eat or drink in between. If I compare these to Mac’s lustre finish ones, I prefer MAC. Their lustres feel very light on the lips while these ones can feel a little bit heavy.
Overall, I would say that you go for a similar shade in some other finish from Colourpop. The sheer ones of theirs are not my favourite. 🙂
PROS:
1. Does not accentuate dry lips
2. Good pigmentation
3. Affordable
4. Has a soft shine
5. Universally flattering shade
CONS:
1. Fragrance
2. Feels heavy if you go overboard
My rating- 3.5/5
See you all soon 🙂

Thanks for the honest review. I love the color, I dont like lippies which give a heavy feel to lips. 🙂

Shade is good but I do not like the longevity and the finish. Well reviewed!
