So we all went
Colourpop crazy on
Black Friday after the cosmetics company announced that they're offering free international shipping for a limited time. My Facebook feed was literally swamped with shout-outs from beauty blogger friends and fellow makeup enthusiasts, all ecstatic about the free shipping news.
Things got even crazier on
Cyber Monday, when Colourpop announced a 20% discount on everything on their site - as in everything, no exclusions whatsoever. One huge sale event after another - how awesome is that? I was practically grinning from ear to ear as I filled my shopping cart with
Ultra Matte Lips and
Ultra Matte Satins.
But before I went on a shopping frenzy, I got a little help from my friend who has a massive collection of Colourpop lippies. She loaned me her entire collection so I could swatch and try them on and choose which shades would suit me best. Oh, and she's the same friend who gave me this
Ultra Matte Lip.

Colourpop! |
Let's begin this swatch-fest with the
Ultra Satin Lip, a lightweight, bold lipstick with satin finish. If you have qualms about wearing matte lipstick because of the '
drying' feel, then the Ultra Satin Lip is right for you. They're very comfortable to wear, they don't make your lips look parched, and their color payoff is amazing. They're not kiss-proof like their matte counterparts, but they're pretty long-wearing nonetheless.

Ultra Satin Lip. |
I reckon there are 30 different shades in Colourpop's
Ultra Satin Lip line, and here are the ones that I got to try.

Prim, Tansy, Frick & Frack, Too Lips. |
Prim is a dark, blackened red;
Tansy is a medium-toned, yellow brown;
Frick & Frack is a lovely shade of rosy terracotta; while
TooLips is a deep shade of brownish plum.

L-R: Prim, Tansy, Frick & Frack, Too Lips. |
The last two shades are my favorites. I love
Frick & Frack because it looks quite natural on my lips
(like a deep shade of nude), and
TooLips because it's a wearable shade of plum.

Ultra Satin Lip in Frick & Frack on my lips. |
They're both pretty versatile and would suit a variety of skintones. Both are also perfect for the season - and you know how much I love plums and mauves during this time of the year.

Now we move on to the mattes, starting with these two shades from the
Karrueche x ColourPop collection.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKKAGWP4lbegieMpLtE3kX0O6PacXqu2crQBJTDawwA-SZS8HSlkABLCxdR_oYY3vRJUxwr1MWgG6eznnkrbXaN7sVilv1xU9Nm9nJiAs-uAGp75T1j6Wuc9VrPM0LawnbuMHZBhH5yTT2/s400/20161124_171855.jpg) |
Karrueche x ColourPop. |
A collaboration between ColourPop and model/actress
Karrueche Tran, this limited edition line features matte eyeshadows, a blush, highlighter, and contour bronzer, lip pencils, and these
Ultra Matte lippies.

Rooch and Kae. |
Rooch is a deepened russet wine - a very bold and dark burgundy red that can be very intimidating to wear and very tricky to apply. I find this shade a little too loud for my taste; not the kind of lipstick that I can wear on a daily basis.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKh1mb96cIKnK0T1IfCBMnQEW9HB1g_Jw8VMv53uXpi1hbhvs3zbYVCc9eSusezKOUOQFVameBtdKxJpmEAr5cz-atOjvYkdr-7D190sU54oqHmppsZiqiOKxS1wtZzyZ7sxr_X29RNpRn/s400/20161124_172151.jpg) |
Rooch on the left, Kae on the right. |
Kae, on the other hand, is a muted dark brown with warm, reddish tones. This shade is a lot more wearable than Rooch, and can suit a variety of skintones.

More Ultra Matte shades! |
Also from the
Ultra Matte line are these seven gorgeous shades - all highly-pigmented, long-wearing, and quite easy to apply.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisrikN2alQaMWcMdGLS0NZioXBikghIsZDQ6_gUYfD2Fx4O-xb6EegR7gFMtRxY_5LPOG5UpR5Q_uKQ13HJXyHZMsyiNFdbj5h7hJR55wcxdnOyRByCIFgOGUkau2jMZxyLmufHEwsepRx/s400/20161124_172910.jpg) |
Beeper, Chilly Chili, Tulle, and Teeny Tiny. |
Beeper, one of the most popular shades in the Ultra Matte line, is a warm, mid-toned taupe.
Chilly Chili, on the other hand, is a muted shade of plum with brown undertones.
Tulle is a warm, plum-red shade, while
Teeny Tiny is a plum-brown shade with warm undertones.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimCcr0Lzzg9xydlfJYGGv9AF8lg4QCFLWmuRJtq16Ob9yQLU2Sc946QRxP9gZItnfW2gegCMkELHwOHX_wA0oJEY9-VvrWJb7uXpSc2mtjdPlzfJ5765y-OrkfdxG_sZO6EN6fdntQIcUO/s400/20161124_173154.jpg) |
L-R: Beeper, Chilly Chili, Tulle, Teeny Tiny. |
Among these four, I like
Beeper the most - even if it has tendency to emphasize the lines on my lips.

Finally, we have
Stingraye,
Are & Be, and
More Better.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpMK6rGsZJr1zuQGURtIQ8oConDglpjjhUP1Rf7iyir0H_Mdrv5EMECSTXBUsCEQynEcHIUUkG7nVkp7s2YRnR0YDRJeCCUV6z9Jq9O87DqDlXuLvNgGu1bsV8Y_ZPhzDuSwhpWCXjC8Mx/s400/20161124_173701.jpg) |
Stingraye, Are & Be, More Better. |
Stingraye is a cool-toned mauve brown, while
Are & Be is a rich, mauve plum.
More Better, perhaps the 'brightest' shade in the bunch, is a dark-berry red shade with cool undertones.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWPZK0a8NcMT-kiPu44GYz3NuhHainTzU2EYR8HdVZgHKDjsEJSRPm1G0QCSe1jx-YA2DOGOSXKpG4RrRaH61Y3xdw1oSjTzYbt7lpfeb8jmpIaYk1Nt_gh1gSiEq3M52AK4HsfYbbBX7E/s400/20161124_173926.jpg) |
L-R: Stingraye, Are & Be, More Better. |
While all three shades complemented my skin tone nicely, I am partial towards
Are & Be because of its rich yet wearable color, and
More Better because of its lovely wine color. It's a nice contrast to all the browns and neutrals that I have previously swatched.

Love the shades of red! I would wear all of them. So perfect for the season right now!
I am addicted to colourpop! Their lippies are awesome, especially the matte ones. The pigmentation is great and it really stays on, regardless!
All shades are pretty. I love the matte finish.
I really like the Frick and Frack color. Are they still having this sale? I'm going to have to go check them out soon!
