ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip (Probably is From) Mars

Happy Labor Day! It’s quite appropriate to talk about ColourPop Ultra Matte Lipstick in Mars because it has been very laborious to get this lipstick to work for me. Eventually, I gave up on it. Which is a shame because the color is fantastic. You will see from the lip swatches how terrible this experience was for me. It reminded me a lot of the experience I had with the LA Splash liquid lipstick: very streaky upon application, patchy when you smash your lips together, and doesn’t work with or without lip balm. It’s not completely opaque so if you don’t get it in one swipe, you’re not getting it at all. In a nutshell, I absolutely cannot leave the house with this lipstick on.
