ColourPop Poppin' Matte X Lippie Stix Review, Swatches, LOTD and DUPE.

Hello everyone,

Today I am here with a review of a much talked about shade from the house of Colourpop Poppin X matte Lippie Stix. It is a shade that I was eyeing since it launched last year and finally, after months of wait, I got my hands on this.

So without wasting any time, lets see if Poppin is truly popping or absolutely flopping ...

Colourpop says:-
Get one swipe pigmentation in a full-coverage, ultra matte finish in a comfortable formula loaded with skin-loving ingredients like shea butter and Vitamin E.
If you need us we'll be poppin' bottles in this Matte X vibrant raspberry.

Price:-
$5.00. 

Packaging:-
Comes in a sleek white twisted pencil form. The slanted tip of the lipstick make it easy to line lips. The outer box has all the details mentioned on it.

Shade:-
A Cool Fuchsia with a Matte finish. It is a stunning, flamboyant and vivid shade that just wakes up my complexion. A gorgeous shade!

Texture and Finish:-
It is soft, smooth and glides beautifully without tugging or pulling. It settles into a completely super matte finish. Being a X matte lippie Stix, it does feel very drying on lips. Lips need to be well exfoliated and moisturized before applying as this product can sink into the lip lines and accentuate lines, chapped areas.

Color Payoff and Staying Power:-
It has an awesome pigmentation and one swipe is enough for the full coverage. However, when I tried to layer, it started to get patchy. It stayed for about 7 hours on my lips with snacks and drinks in between. After that it left a pretty tint behind.

Summing up my Likes and Dislikes:-

What I LIKE about Colourpop Poppin X matte Lippie Stix:-

• Stunning color
• Soft and smooth
• Matte finish
• Feels light on lips.
• Opaque in one swipe
• Stays pretty long
• Lip liner cum lipstick
• Travel friendly pencils.

What I DON’T LIKE about Colourpop Poppin X matte Lippie Stix:-

• Feels very dry on lips.
• Due to the extreme matte formula and dry texture, it has a tendency to highlight lines and go patchy.

DUPE Alert:-
I found Maybelline Lip Gradation in Pink 2 (Read review HERE) to be an exact dupe of Colourpop Poppin, just Maybelline one has a better texture. ColourPop  I heart this and Urban Decay Vice Liquid Lipstick Menace are close as well.

Final thoughts and verdict:-
I love the color. It is so beautiful; add freshness and an instant glow to my face. It is easy to apply, insanely pigmented and stays long. I just wish it was a little less dry on my lips. Just look at the hand swatch, you will understand what I am trying to say.

Ratings:-
4/5
