ColorPop Lippie Stix Review

i have finally jumped on the lippie stix band wagon, and to be fair, i don't regret it. i have been a matte lippy girl through and through for yonks, but now, i've changed my tune.

they smell so good! it's not overly chemically, it's more like some sweet cookie or a faux vanilla. i also think the color pay off is absolutely wonderful. one swipe and my lips are covered!

what i really like about these little sticks though is the fact that they're not drying. a lot of lipsticks i've tried, regardless of finish, have been drying and have given me lip uglies, but these just sit on my face, making it look nicer than what it is. the formula is creamier than what i would think, but it's not a lipstick to bleed or feather, it just does what it's supposed to and i appreciate that.

no, its not incredibly long wearing, but it wears long enough to go out and have lunch, and it applies over itself easily, whereas a lot of lipsticks that i've tried don't play nice. so yeah, i'd repurchase.

I love Colourpop's Lippie Stix, specifically their Matte X line. I have quite dry and pigmented lips, but they never feel dry, while looking like velvet and they go on my lips opaque and true to colour.

They are so soft that sometimes I even forget I have lipstick on and they do last a long time for a bullet type lipstick, however they will of course start to break down if I eat oily foods like pasta or pizza. I wore the shade Skywalking (which, by the way is the most perfect shade of red) to Christmas dinner in 2018 and it held up really well throughout the evening. I only reapplied once to the center of my lips and the lipstick layers over itself smoothly.

The packaging and the shape of the bullet is also really nice, I've never had one break and I can easily follow the shape of my lips which I love, because I don't normally use lip liners.

Another great product from Colourpop. Very easy to apply and super long lasting, as is all their makeup. Just brilliant formulas. Great that they’re cruelty free too, and the packaging is so eye-catching. I’ve got a few different shades of these lippie stix and use them whenever I go out. It amazes me how much I can do while wearing this product, and it won’t budge. But even if it does fade after a while, it’s simple to reapply. Doesn’t dry out or crack on your lips, stays nice and dewy and vibrant.

I really like the impressive pigmentation this cute and compact lippie gives. I bought this lipstick in the shade Chi Chi during one of their amazing lip product sales they hold a few times a year. I love the vibrant orange red colour and matte texture which allow for long wear and definitely leaves a graceful tint even after eating a snack.

I have bought these in a number of shades and haven't regretted a single one!

I have to point out, I am a fan of ColorPop products - I generally love them. So in trying the lippie stix the first time, I already had great expectations. And this really did meet those. I find they last a decent while, and the range of shades is awesome. I also really love the discreet packaging. But my favourite thing: the lipstick part is smaller than a normal lipstick, so they are great handbag / do-in-the-car lipsticks to minimise mess or mistakes!

Highly recommend - especially for the price!

I bought a few of these after seeing them in countless YouTube videos.

I bought the matching lipliners to match and the colours I bought are Lumiere, Bossy and Leather.

Lumiere is a very '90s brown. Think George Michael video with all the supermodels in it. It's matte, goes on like a dream but I found after a while, it did dry out my lips so had to apply a balm over the top to stop them from feeling so tight.

Bossy is almost a true red. Super luxurious and a killer lipstick to pair with a simple eye and a cat flick. This is also a matte.

Leather is a really rich purple which isn't matte, almost like a satin finish. This was my favourite of the lot. However the matching lip pencil is a few shades darker than the lipstick itself, which I was quite disappointed bout. This doesn't dry my lips out however so that's a bonus.

The colour lasts a while though, which I'm happy about. The pigmentation is ridiculously awesome, a little goes a long way.

I am a massive fan of Colorpop and especially love their lippy's. There are so many colours to choose from and I tend to sway more toward both the dark and bright reds and browns. They are moisturising and long wearing and the best thing about these are that they are affordable!

My collection of Matte and Matte X lippie stix now included over 20 shades and I love them all.

The small tube size is perfect for smaller lips and the shape allows for extreme precision and a tidy lip line.

The formulas of the matte and matte x lippie sticks is comfortable on the lips and long lasting. But be aware that any oily or hot food with melt your lipstick.

I love the cheap price point that has allowed me to buy shades I am not sure about to try with out worrying about wasting lots of money on a product I might never wear.

Color pop now does free shipping to NZ if you spend over 50 usd. This is the best way to do things otherwise the shipping is a bit expensive.
