I finally got it! Just in time for Christmas but then again I am writing it just now ’cause well I have to celebrate blah blah blah. :p
Anyway, I finally got my hands on Colourpop Cosmetics! I tried to snag each kind of product from their brand but well I got budget too. I have to or else I’ll go broke. Lol
So these are the things I bought from them:
The Up and Away Bundle which costs $15. It consists of Love Bug, Mama, and Calypso. So far, I have been using Calypso (A mid-tone pinky nude in an Ultra Satin finish) every time I go out but Love Bug is such a beautiful shade also. It’s a rich Terracota in an Ultra Matte finish great for a night out but then again I’ll wear it even in the morning. :p On the other hand, Mama is a true burnt orange in an Ultra Matte finish. I tried wearing it and I don’t think I can wear it just as it is. I may have to put a darker lip liner underneath to manipulate the color.
I haven’t used this one yet ’cause I’m gonna include it on my youtube giveaway some time this week. According to the colourpop website, this is a soft coral nude but it looks so pink to me. Maybe that’s what the color when it’s swatched. I may have to ask the one who will win my giveaway then. :p
Screenshot is a deepened peach in an Ultra Satin formula. This is a bit lighter that Calypso. This is such a nice nude also but I need to line it with a lip liner to match my skin color. I have to say Calypso is slightly better than Screenshot as when I wore this it emphasized the cracks on my lips. This is also thinner than Calypso. I may have to wear this one again as I wore it when I got a very chapped lips. :p
Monday is a warm peachy beige in an Ultra Matte lip formula. I haven’t worn this yet but it’s such a pretty shade too.
Saturday is a saturated blackberry in an Ultra Matte lip formula. This shade is really really stunning. Everyone will surely give you a glance when you wear this.
Thursday on the other hand is a red violet in an Ultra Matte lip. It’s more violet than red though. I did not swatch it ’cause I’m gonna include this on my giveaway too. :p
I bought these liners through Kathleen Lights’ recommendation. They’re really really pigmented and not all liners stay on my waterline for a long time. So far, I have been loving Mr. Bing. I don’t know why but it makes me feel so beautiful. Lol. I may be exaggerating or not but yeah. That’s how I feel whenever I wear it. :p
Churro is a coppery peach with flips of gold shimmer and silver glitter highlighter. I wore this for the first time underneath my theBalm Mary Lou-manizer and THIS BROUGHT MY HIGHLIGHTER GAME to the next level! I wore this just as it is and this is still super beautiful. I recommend this! If you’re going to buy something from colourpop then don’t forget to include this on your basket. Trust me! You’ll never regret it! :p
So far, I’ve been loving the things I bought from Colourpop. I finally bought from their website when i learned they have a free shipping for international customers and when I first checked their website their shipping fee was about $20 I think in the Philippines. So yeah. I checked it again just now and I don’t know if they’ll continue their free international shipping but they are right now. You have to buy $50 worth of makeup before you can avail that. I also snagged 4 free lippies when I ordered from them and that was on the second week of December. I got the box 2 weeks after it was shipped from their warehouse. I also paid 120php for our postal fee when it was delivered. Whenever I order from abroad I always pay a fee from our postal office. The box was delivered to our house as this is just a small box but if it’s a bigger one then you have to get it to the postal office. This is how it is in Davao so I’m not sure if it’s the same thing on other places as well.
By the way, the only thing I wish they would change is the applicator. It’s a bit bigger and smaller (that’s what she said. lol) than the usual “doe foot” applicator. But other than that their products are really nice!
Don’t forget to check my youtube channel for a giveaway. I’m giving away the Thursday Ultra Matte lip and the lippie stix in Hype Girl. I know it’s not much now but maybe next time it’ll be much better. 🙂
