Review: COLOURPOP ULTRA MATTE LIP, CAILYN PURE LUST EXTREME MATTE TINT & GIRLACTIK BEAUTY MATTE LIP PAINT

Hello, it’s me (again)!

Today I, as promised yesterday, will be reviewing 4 of my newest liquid lipsticks.

Yes, lipsticks again and again and again.

Liquid lipstick from this brand and that brand and those other brands, you name it. I know, I will stop talking about lipstick when… I don’t know when.

Tapi yang jelas selama masih ada jenis dan tipe baru atau brand yang belum aku coba (sejauh yang aku bisa afford, tentu saja) pasti sih aku akan terus nulis beginian, so be patient.

OK, here  are the babies I’m going to talk about:

LEFT TO RIGHT:
 
COLOURPOP Ultra Matte Lip in "Trap" -
COLOURPOP Ultra Matte Lip in "Bumble" -
Cailyn Pure Lust Extreme Matte Tint in "Illusionist" -
Girlactik Beauty Matte Lip Paint in "Allure"

So the thing is, before I decided to purchase lipsticks online (and from TRUSTED SELLERS, off course) I google as many reviews as I can and the most important thing is to make sure that you get a CLEAR idea about the shade you’re about to choose.

You’re gonna need more than ONE picture from the internet and make sure to observe the color from people’s lips, not on what it’s described or the color chart. I’m not saying that when someone’s doing a lipstick swatch on the hand is wrong (I did this when reviewing some lipsticks in the past) but apparently it appears to be more “accurate” when you observe the color from diff. people’s lips. You see, there are so many skin tones in the world and one lipstick color could be looking really good when worn by some particular skin tones but it’s gonna be looking “plain” or “weird” or even worse “ugly” on some other skin tones.

The best thing is to find people with the closest skin tone with yours and see how the color “pops” on their lips, with or without flash, outdoor or indoor.

This sounds pretty ribet but trust me, if you’re buying lipsticks online, you’re blind-buying them, right? So you have this “idea” inside your brain about the colur and because it’s looking so good as described and when it’s being swatched, you don’t think twice and you decide to buy.

When it’s finally arrived on your doorstep and you can’t wait to try it, you put it on and tadaaaaa…….. you’re disappointed.

So, to avoid that to ever happen (or it might have happened and don’t let it happen twice) PLEASE observe and PLEASE google as many reviews and pictures from the internet first, ok my lovelies?

So here we go, the reviews, starting from the most affordable to the priciest.

All pictures were taken INDOOR, under normal lighting and without edit-edit ya. 

Sorry for the apa-adanya makeup and clothing, LoL

COLOURPOP ULTRA MATTE LIP

This is my second Colourpop lipstick type I’ve tried. I decided to buy two of these liquid lipstick (I have talked about Colourpop Lippie Stix once, please check my old post about it) which were in “TRAP” and “BUMBLE” shades.

So TRAP is basically a really PALE color and I decided to buy this out of my curiosity about having at least ONE super pale but “mysterious” lipstick color. I have done many researches before I made myself sure about choosing this and finally I decided to just buy it anyway, LoL.

If you never try, you’ll never know (Coldplay – Fix You), right?

First time I put this on my face and I was a little shocked at first because it looks EXACTLY like it’s been said and tested and reviewed. In a good way, I mean.

It is a really pale color with a hint of taupe? Brown? I don’t know.

Take a look at it yourself:

COLOURPOP Ultra Matte Lip in "Trap" 

 and this is how it looks on my lips:

COLOURPOP Ultra Matte Lip in "Trap" 

This is absolutely a daring color and it needs someone with a lot of guts to pull it off and maybe I need that much guts anyway, LoL.

Next is BUMBLE which is a really nice and warm terracotta red.

It’s not Ferrari red, it’s not Ruby Woo’s red and it’s definitely not orange or coral.

It’s looking very nice when worn and I’m just in love with this Bumble color.

Here’s the pics:

and this is me wearing BUMBLE:

So about the Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip lipsticks in general:

- Texture: liquid, first applied it’s wet and wait for several seconds to let it set and dry and you’re done.

- Opacity: very pigmented (off course because they’re supposed to be looking intense. Matte lipsticks usually are)

- Staying power: waterproof, eat-proof (makan roti atau makan yang enteng-enteng aja ya, kalau makan berat sih lipstick setahan apapun “proof” nya juga bakal pudar bagian tengahnya), kissproof (belum bisa bilang, hehehe). Tapi aman lah untuk dipakai seharian terutama pas “hari lupa bawa kotak makeup” sedang melanda. Dijamin ngga bakal bingung sampai sore *wink*

- Moisture level: aku harus bilang bahwa most matte lipsticks are DRYING dan Colourpop matte ini termasuk yang drying. Lalu kenapa aku masih tetap suka aja sama matte liquid lipsticks?

Karena jatuhnya bagus. Karena aku ngga pernah suka tampilan bibir glossy atau basah atau kelihatan beminyak gitu.

- Solution: selalu bawa lip balm. Ngerti kan kalau aku juga pecinta lipbalm? Betapa pentingnya benda kecil yang satu itu juga. So kalau bibir sudah mulai kering, apply aja lipbalm tipis-tipis aja ya, pake jari, ditepuk-tepuk gitu di bibir biar kesan matte-nya ngga hilang. Gigit-gigit bibir karena bibir kering? Nonononono…. Itu hanya akan membuat bibir makin kering karena our saliva contains some “crushing” agents yang berfungsi untuk membantu mencerna makanan. Jadi makanya jangan jilatin bibir kalau bibir kering.

Pakailah LIPBALM and love your lips.

- Price : affordable BANGET.

- Would I repurchase? off course, untuk shade BUMBLE ini lagi atau shade lain yang aku penasaran ingin coba hehehe

CAILYN PURE LUST EXTREME MATTE TINT

BEWARE ya, ini lipstick cair yang paling encer yang aku pernah coba. When I tried it for the first time aku sempat agak kaget karena teksturnya yang (jauh) lebih cair compared to other liquid lipsticks.

Then aku ingat-ingat lagi, ini adalah LIP TINT.

Ya jelas saja yah, encer. Hehehe…

Have a look at the picture:

Cailyn Pure Lust Extreme Matte Tint in "Illusionist"

 and this is how ILLUSIONIST looks on my lips:  

Cailyn Pure Lust Extreme Matte Tint in "Illusionist"

So about the Cailyn Pure Lust Extreme Matte Tint lipstick in general:

-       Texture: watery but still creamy, it’s just not “that” creamy, almost like you’re not applying lipstick.

-       Opacity: good coverage, considering teksturnya yang encer but the color is pretty intense.

-       Staying power: idem Colourpop above.

-       Moisture level: almost non-drying (yay!!) and if it’s drying your lips, you know what to do, right?

-       Price: Considerably affordable.

-       Would I repurchase? Probably. It’s a good stuff and why not?

GIRLACTIK BEAUTY MATTE LIP PAINT

Should I say that this worth the HYPE and the PRICE? 

I don't have much to say except yes, I agree with the statement that this Girlactik has the best formulation. As a liquid lipstick, it's non-drying (although there's always a chance even 1% for your lips to get dry, remember that this is a MATTE lipstick anyway) and it smells very nice like a vanilla choco chip cookies (yummmm, my favourite!!). 

Here's the color and how it looks on my lips: 

Girlactik Beauty Matte Lip Paint in "Allure"

     So about the Girlactik Beauty Matte Lip Paint lipstick in general:

        Texture: creamy, velvety, smells great!

-       Opacity: LOVELY!!

-       Staying power: All day! Ya kalau abs makan siang lalu it's a bit fading ya wajar sih ya, namanya juga lipstick. 

-       Moisture level: compared to Colourpop, Sleek Matte Me, this is the by far non-drying, Cailyn is the second. 

-       Price: If you're used to using YSL, Tom Ford, Dior, this is definitely considerably "cheap" but as for me this is pretty pricey! :'))

-       Would I repurchase? YES!!

    So I guess that's all I could review for the lipstick update. Sebenarnya ada beberapa lipsticks yang I haven't got the time to talk about, but no worries. I'm going to post again in the near future. 

     If you're wondering where these products are from, all lipsticks I'm talking about here are  MADE IN U.S.A so they're American products. 

   

  Some people might have their own preferences about cosmetic brands and their origins, maybe they prefer European or Asian products. It doesn't matter, as long as we'e comfortable wearing them, right? 

    See you around and stay pretty, lovelies!
