Price: $6 * Buy At: ColourPop Website * Size: 3.2 g The ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Zipper is a dark purple liquid lipstick with a matte finish. The ColourPop Ultra Matte Lips come in a clear tube with a classic doe foot applicator. Zipper’s formula is a bit more patchy than other shades of the Ultra Matte Lips that I have tried. It wasn’t bad, or even all that noticeable, but it definitely did not apply as opaque as other colors. Zipper still feels thin and light on the lips, but like most matte liquid lipsticks, Zipper does have a dry feeling. For the most part, you won't notice the dryness unless you press your lips together. Zipper has good lasting power, as long as you don't rub your lips together, as it will cause the product to flake off. XOX ♥

Price: $7 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 4 mL The Nyx Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Stone Fox is a dark grey with a demi matte finish. Stone Fox is very pigmented and has full, opaque coverage on the lips. The Liquid Suede lipsticks apply super smooth and evenly. I wouldn’t consider the finish to be completely matte, but it does set down quite a bit. Because of this, the product doesn’t feel or look drying on the lips, as many matte liquid lipsticks tend to do. In my opinion, the Liquid Suede line is like a cross between a regular liquid lipstick and a matte liquid lipstick. The finish is almost matte, and it sets on the lips so you don’t have to worry about the color moving around on the lips throughout the day. I really love the color of Stone Fox (which I'm sure you would know based on how many grey toned lip products I have) but of course it is not for everyone. But, I love the formula and it is rather inexpensive, so it could be a great option if you are looking to try out a bold color like Stone Fox. XOX ♥
ColourPop Lights Out, Salt, Man Eater & Zebra Ultra Metallic Liquid Lipstick | Review & Swatches8/1/2016 Price: $6 * Buy At: ColourPop Website * Size: Metallic is the newest trend in lip colors, so ColourPop has now added it to their line of "Ultra" lip colors. Lights Out is a light gold, Salt is a gold taupe, Man Eater is a rosy bronze & Zebra is a medium pink brown. The Ultra Metallic Lips have the same packaging as the Ultra Matte Lip: a long clear tube with a shiny ColourPop logo. All four shades I picked up perform in a uniform way. The product applies smoothly onto the lips, but get slightly tacky as the color sets and dries down. On the lips, the product feels very thin, and although they don't necessarily provide moisture to the lips, they are not drying like the Ultra Matte Lip. The Ultra Metallics stay in place on the lips and have quite good wear time. If you are looking for a subtle way to test out the metallic trend, I would suggest Zebra or Man Eater. However, I love the look of Lights Out and Salt, I think they are really unique, and I am all about a bold lip. I have loved every product I have purchased from ColourPop, and they continue to impress with this new line. XOX ♥
Price: $3.49 * Buy At: Kmart * Size: 0.4 fl oz / 12 mL The LA Girl Glazed Lip Paint In Whisper is a pale neutral pink liquid lip color with a glossy finish. The LA Girl Lip Paints come in a squeeze tube and have an angled plastic applicator. I feel that the applicator makes it a bit difficult to get a precise application, so I prefer to use a lip brush with this product. The Lip Paints have a subtle minty scent, and although I really dislike mint, it isn’t too strong so I can wear the lip product just fine. Whisper, despite being a pale color, is super pigmented and looks very smooth and even on the lips. Although the product has the shine of a lip gloss, it does not feel like one on the lips, the formula feels rather thin and comfortable. Once the gloss fades, you are left with a satin finish liquid lipstick look, and it remains feeling comfortable on the lips. XOX ♥
Price: $20 * Buy At: Sephora * Size: 6.6 mL The Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Requiem is a medium grey toned lavender with a matte finish. The Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks come in long, thin tubes with a cute tattoo design. They come with a typical doe foot applicator. Requiem has intense color payoff, not needing to be built up on the lips for an opaque look. It dries to a very matte finish, fairly quickly, and feels pretty comfortable on the lips. Any matte liquid lipstick is going to feel at least a bit dry on the lips, but Requiem is pretty comfortable as far as matte liquid lipsticks go. I personally love purple lip colors, so Requiem is right up my alley, and could maybe be a gateway into purple lips for the nude lips lover. XOX ♥
Price: $2.99 * Buy At: Walgreens * Size: 0.22 oz Metallic lip colors are the newest trend in lips, so more and more brands are releasing their take on the trend. I picked up three shades of the Wet n Wild Coloricon Metallic Liquid Lipstick: My Tulips Are Sealed, Indigo Your Own Way & Peony Express. The Coloricon Metallic Liquid Lipsticks come in a clear tube and have a doe foot applicator that sort of dips in the center. The product is quite thin and glides easily onto the lips. Although it is a liquid lipstick, they do not set in place. However, if you blot your lips--or even attempt to rub the color off--you will be left with the metallic finish and a more subtle version of the color. The colors do not look very metallic when swatched on my arm, but you can really see the finish in the lip swatches. These three colors are not the type of shades I typically go for, but this collection of lipsticks was fairly small, so I picked my favorite of the bunch. XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.16 oz The Nyx Matte Lipstick in Minx is a medium tan brown with a matte finish. Minx is part of Nyx’s newest release from the Matte Lipstick line. The Nyx Matte Lipsticks come in a matte black tube that is clear in the center, showcasing the color inside. Nyx’s Matte Lipsticks are one of my favorite matte lip colors. They are very comfortable, and even moisturizing, on the lips, something that you don’t always find with mattes. It does not dry down to a completely dry, flat matte, but it definitely is without any kind of glossy finish. Minx is pretty opaque and applies smooth and even to the lips. Minx may not be a color for everyone, but I personally love brown lips, and prefer them as a statement lip instead of, say, a bright pink. XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 8 mL The Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Moscow is a deep navy. Moscow is a part of Nyx’s newest release from the Soft Matte Lip Cream line. Nyx’s Soft Matte Lip Creams come in a colored tube that corresponds to the product inside. The product has a sweet bakery scent similar to the Butter Glosses; I'm not a huge fan of the scent, but it doesn't bother me either. These are not matte liquid lipsticks, they are lip creams, so they do not dry and set completely down like a liquid lipstick. They still give the lips a nice matte finish, but without the drying feel. The texture of the product is more like a mousse than anything. Moscow isn't super opaque, allowing a bit of the lips to show through, which doesn't really bother me, but it could be a deal breaker for some. As far as statement lips go, I think navy looks super cool, especially on my cool toned skin. I know the shade is not for everyone, but at $6, it is worth a shot! XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 8 mL The Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Dubai is a dark red-brown with a matte finish. Dubai is a part of Nyx’s newest release from the Soft Matte Lip Cream line. The Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams are packaged in a colored tube that corresponds to the product inside. Like the rest of the line, Dubai has a sweet bakery scent, that I’m not crazy about, but it doesn’t keep me from using the product. The Soft Matte Lip Creams do not dry completely down like a matte liquid lipstick, as they are a lip cream. Because of this, it gives a more flattering look to the lips and doesn’t feel drying at all. The product feels smooth on the lips and does not flake off if you rub your lips together. Dubai is super pigmented, but doesn’t give as harsh of a look as a completely opaque lipstick or matte liquid lipstick. This makes this darker shade more wearable, something I think many people would enjoy. XOX ♥
Price: $21 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.4 fl oz / 12 mL The Too Faced Melted Chocolate Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in Chocolate Honey is a warm medium tan with a subtle shine. The Too Faced Melted Lipsticks come in a colored squeeze tube with a soft sponge applicator. The Chocolate range of the Melted Lipsticks has Too Faced’s signature cocoa powder scent, although it is not as strong as the scent of products like the Chocolate Bar Palette. Chocolate Honey is not as intense and opaque as other shades from the Melted line, but it still has even pigmentation and coverage on the lips. Unlike most liquid lipsticks currently on the market, the Melted Lipsticks do not set on the lips and are prone to transferring. However, I am not opposed to this as Chocolate Honey is extremely comfortable on the lips. It feels very thin and moisturizing, something I always look for in a lip product. Because Chocolate Honey doesn’t set on the lips, it does not have the wear time that other liquid lipsticks have, so I would keep the product on hand for touch-ups throughout the day. XOX ♥
