ColourPop 2018 Fall/Back To School UML Swatches on Asian Skin (NC 20)
This post is a little late because this collection was released a month or two ago. Honestly, I haven't purchased anything from ColourPop since June so it's been awhile. There are quite a lot in the back to school fall collection but I'm only covering the ultra matte lips in this post. I got 6 out of 8 of them because the other two seemed too bright for my liking and not the kind of colors I would wear anyway. I'm still waiting for the lux lipsticks to restock so that I can swatch those too.
TBH, if you have a lot of their ultra matte or ultra satin liquid lipsticks already, you can pass on the majority of these shades. They are very similar to previously launched colors and the formulation isn't at its best.
Growing Pains (Soft peachy nude)
I was worried this would be unflattering or too pale for me but it turned out to be a nice nude shade with a touch of peach (leaning pink). It's not quite similar to other CP nudes in my collection but I will say the closest is Magic Wand USL, which leans a little warmer/beige than Growing Pains.
Yes Is More (Warm Vibrant Rose)
This turned out to be brighter than I expected but it is such a cute pinky red. This color seems to sink into my lip lines a little more but it didn't feel drying. This shade is quite comparable to Sizzle but Sizzle has a better formula.
Know It All (Brick Red)
You can't ever get enough burnt orange lipsticks when fall comes around. I think this is quite a unique color in the CP range because they haven't really done a burnt red-orange. It's like a mix between Avenue and Mama.
T'D Up (Smokey Mauve)
This one isn't quite part of the fall release but I don't even know when they released this shade. It's described as a smokey mauve but I'm getting more plum purple vibes. This is like a cross between Are N Be and Chaps from the Amanda Steele collection.
Pearl Next Door (Oxblood Red)
This is a true dark red shade and there is nothing exceptional about it. I'm sure you have a ton of similar shades in your collection if you are a fan of dark lips. This shade goes on quite patchy as well. Cashing Out (USL), Notion and Prim (USL) are some very similar shades.
Chalk And Roll (Cool Gray)
This is the ultra matte version of Petit Four (USL). The formula is quite problematic and butthole lips are unavoidable.
Class Pet (True Denim)
A unique blue that looks amazing with mustard sweaters. This reminds me of Jellies, a royal blue shade that has been discontinued. The formula is also patchy so you will need two coats to fix everything.
I'm such a huge fan of yours! You have such great ideas~ Maybe I missed it, but where did you find the amazing lipstick? I must have one! I will go to Ulta now! Thank you so much!
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
