ColourPop Summer '17 Heat Collection Lip Swatches | Asian Skin
Yay! Who doesn't love it when ColourPop releases new lippies? They called these the heat collection and there are 8 new lip colors.
There is a trio bundle called Sun Seeker for $15 and this includes one of each type of finish - glossy, satin and matte.
Cabana Boy (Ultra Glossy Lip)
Cabana Boy is a rose gold in a metallic finish and it is beautiful. It has just the right amount of pigmentation and it looks beautiful worn on its own. You can use it as an accent on top of other lip colors too. This one feels really comfortable on the lips and not heavy or tacky at all.
Tidal (Ultra Satin Lip)
Tidal is a warm brown and this was really pigmented. It dried down to quite a matte finish but it's not transfer proof. Super comfortable and not streaky. It would be a great nude for deeper skin tones.
Sizzle (Ultra Matte Lip)
Sizzle is described as a warm berry but it seems like a really bright strawberry red in my opinion. Even so, it's really pigmented and it's a cute bright color for summer.
The rest of these colors are sold individually for $6. I didn't get Extra Toppings because I thought it was a bright coral orange but it seems to lean more red. I'm not sure. I wouldn't have gotten Trouble Maker if I didn't need to but I had to hit free shipping.
Trouble Maker (Ultra Matte Lip)
This is described as a mid-toned brown peach. It's really orange on me and I don't really like it. Plus the formula for this particular color feels really dry and crumbly. You can already see it settling into my lip lines and it just didn't feel comfortable.
Top 8 (Ultra Matte Lip)
Top 8 is a rosey brown and I love this color so much! It's the perfect lip color to throw on for any occasion and it's just so flattering on all skin tones.
Sunshowers (Ultra Matte Lip)
This is a deep plum and the color is gorgeous too. However, it doesn't really stay on the insides of my lips so there is a stain there. It is quite pigmented but if the applicator runs dry, it will apply streaky.
Circles (Ultra Matte Lip)
This is a cool toned burgundy and if you are looking for a true dark red without brown or purple undertones, this is the one. It is slightly patchy so you will need 2 coats. A single coat doesn't feel dry or cracky so a second layer shouldn't hurt.
I love these colors and there is apparently a change in formula but I didn't notice much difference. ColourPop's UML normally are not an issue for me. I mean, I don't find them particularly drying or crumbly. What I did notice is that they do not settle as much into my lip lines so my lips do not look as wrinkly.
I've wanted to do this post for a long time, ever since I started on my crazy collection of Adidas Superstars. I mean, I think I make quite a credible source because at one point, I owned 14 pairs of Superstars and Stan Smiths. I will be migrating my Superstar collection post over to this blog over the coming days so that you can read up on where I got them. I'm not sure if these shoes are still as popular and wanted now because I am sort of out of the loop but if you are looking to get yourself a pair of Superstars or Stan Smiths, these are a few pointers to look out for in identifying if what you are buying is real or fake. Take note that these features are mostly applicable to recent releases only. Old models and Superstar 80s are slightly different. Then again, old models are not sold in stores anymore so if you find brand new pairs elsewhere, you should be cautious. I owned a a few pairs of fake Superstars before I purchased my first original pair from the Adidas
I've been meaning to try Arctic Fox's hair dyes for a couple of years but never got around to it because I feared it wouldn't show up on dark hair. It's been coming up more and more on Instagram again so I did some research and apparently Purple Rain, Aquamarine and Poseidon do show up on dark hair. So that's what I purchased! These retail for $7.99 (4 fl oz) or $13.99 (8 fl oz) on the Arctic Fox website but I got mine off Amazon . Arctic Fox hair dyes are vegan and cruelty free. They also do not contain harsh chemicals like peroxides, ammonia and PPD. These are semi-permanent and they contain conditioning agents which means you can use these dyes as often as you want to without damaging your hair. Semi-permanent hair dyes only coat your hair so it will fade with each wash. The bottle claims that it can last up to 40 washes. These smell like grape candy so it is such a treat to use them. The instructions to use this is pretty simple. 1. Shampoo and w
Lipstick swatches are one of my favorite things to do so I gathered my Lonely Planet Cosmetics liquid lipsticks and did a swatch and review in my latest YouTube video. Earlier on this year, Lonely Planet Cosmetics announced that they were going to hold their anniversary sale as well as closeout sale because they were going to shift their headquarters to New York and rebrand to Atomic Makeup. So when the sale came around, everything was 50% off. Their liquid lipsticks were typically $15 for 8ml so they were marked down to $7.50 and some of them were even $5. The sale lasted a really long time and I ended up placing 3 separate orders with 24 shades altogether. I think they had a massive range of 35 colors but honestly, their color range isn't very impressive. It is filled with your typical reds, pinks, nudes and browns with a handful of bolder shades. Another thing I noticed when I swatched these is how inaccurate some of the shades have been represented. I remember reading a re
