COLOURPOP Lippie stixs - Are they worth the Hype?

I tried and I tried but the temptation was too much. How could you NOT get COLOURPOP? Its so cheap, well almost, after converting it to our currency and buying it through Face book shops, but still reasonable. So I got them, now what?

I have been a little slow on the "Colourpop" beauty game, shame on me. I was trying to be mature and control splurging on makeup. Well, that didn't work out, it never does when it comes to lipsticks!

The Colourpop Lippie stixs (feel like a baby saying that) are actually lipsticks. The relatively new brand took over the lipstick jungle just months after launching.

EVERYONE is talking about them and I was seriously feeling left out. So I reached out for my laptop and ordered cause what the hell, they are just $5 a pop!

I got three shades in Matte finish. So my main experience will be regarding those, for now.

My EXPERIENCE with Colourpop Lippie Stixs:

- Colourpop Lippie Stixs come in 5 different finishes; Glossy (medium-full coverage with a glossy finish), Satin (full coverage, hydrating, satin finish), Matte (full coverage), Hyper Glossy (full coverage, glossy finish) and Pearlized (medium to full coverage with reflective pearls for a pearly finish)

- Contain vitamin E, mango, avocado and shea butter for comfort and moisture

- The lipsticks come in a gazillion shades. Don't believe me? Go check out the website and be amazed

- The shades I got are Brink, Clique and LBB, all matte

- White packaging is simple but that very fact makes this retractable, slim lip STICK so appealing. DO make sure you don't twist out a lot of lipstick as its prone to breaking, just like retractable lip pencils

- The slim lipstick makes it easier to apply and reaches the trickiest corner

- The matte formula is creamy, pigmented and requires only one application due to its opaqueness

- The finish is a bit more velvety with a little shine than true matte

- Slightly thick in texture when you apply, you can feel it

- Doesn't dry lips

- Smells pleasant though waxy

- Good staying power but requires reapplication after couple of hours

COLOURPOP Lippie Stix in LBB:

LBB is a delicious berry/plum shade with purple undertones. This is , now, one of my fall favorites. The color is just the right amount of dark, not too overbearing.

COLOURPOP Lippie Stix in Clique:

CLIQUE is a reddish orange with a brilliant pop. Your lips will turn heads for sure. Even though the color is more appropriate for spring/ summer I still don't care much about seasons when it comes to lipsticks. I just go with my mood.

COLOURPOP Lippie Stix in Brink:

BRINK is my new best friend in nude lipsticks. Kylie Jenner needs to step aside cause this shade makes your lips ready to kill.

A dusty taupe with a warm hint of pink. The all rounder shade that can be used for a day look or paired with extreme smokey eyes for an evening glam look.

I am stupid. WHY did I even wait so long to try these gorgeous lipsticks? Totally happy with the ones I bought, which is not stopping me from getting more!

The only drawback is getting these because they are not easily available everywhere and only on their WEBSITE. Your best bet, if you live in Pakistan, is to go through a Face book beauty shop and they will order these for you. Even though it will cost a little more than $5 they are totally worth it!
