makeup review

[sistawendy]

I was asking my style guru cupcake_goth about a replacement for my beloved Studded Kiss lipstick which MAC has of course discontinued. She suggested Colourpop, so off I went to get three shades that are new to me. Right now I'm wearing Colourpop's Tiana from their Disney-inspired line. So here's the review.

• Color: ¡Me gusta! It's just a hair brighter than Studded Kiss, I think, and not (as?) matte. I may like this look even better than what it's replacing.
• Durability: MAC wins narrowly, at least on me with my eating & tea habits, but then again MAC outlasts damn near everything else.
• Feel: Colourpop wins. A lot of MAC shades, at least the matte ones, really dry me out.
• Price: Colourpop wins by a lot! Dayumn! I did not expect that.
• Animal testing: Colourpop wins.

The good news is that I've found some excellent new makeup. The bad news is that I now have too many lipsticks, if that's possible.

I love colourpop! I have so many lip things; need to go through and toss the ancient ones. Mostly the Ultra blotted lip - feels like you are wearing nothing, but stays on, and you can build it up. I don't like sticky. Favorite color is https://colourpop.com/products/cherry-on-top. It's not really as dark as it looks in the photo unless you really layer it on. Not glam, but perfect for everyday "not-wearing-makeup but I look so much better". They used to have a non-liquid blotted lip lipstick that I liked more, easier to apply, but it seems to be gone. I have a bunch of their eyeshadows but never bother with it. Now looking at the new Lux Liquid lip stuff. Their website has gotten harder to navigate, or I have too many browser extensions.
