Still on the Matte X formula, here is the second set of my review.

MATTE X

This lipstick formula claims to:

• provide high-intensity full coverage pigment with one stroke application.
• be long-wearing and lightweight
• apply smoothly and have the most velvety glide without any uncomfortable dragging or pulling – like melting on your lips
• have a SUPER matte finish

SWATCHES

*please note that due to the difference in undertones, the shades may look brighter or darker to different people.

For reference here is the list of my foundation shades:
NC25 (MAC Pro Longwear Foundation) / 1.5 (MAC Matchmaster) Y225 (MUFE Ultra HD) / Light 4 Deauville (NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation)

LOVE LIFE

Described as a brownish brick-red but this appeared more of a red-orange shade on my lips. I also find this as the least opaque amongst the 6 matte x lippies that I reviewed.

CHATEAU

Described as a warm-toned, blackened red, this is a good dupe for Jeffree Star’s Unicorn Blood or Lime Crime’s Wicked.

Price:

• Colourpop’s Matte X lippies are sold at 5 USD each or 12 SGD.

Where to buy:

International Delivery 

• I purchased these from Pingbong but last July 12th, Colourpop started offering International Delivery options except for China and Turkey.
• There is no flat rate for shipping; the delivery cost will depend on the weight of your orders. I think they have a bracket for the weight and cost.

OVERALL

PROs:

I love the super matte formula and they did exactly what they claim:

✔︎ provide high-intensity full coverage pigment with one stroke application
✔︎ light-weight
✔︎ they apply smoothly and felt velvety on the lips. I can relate it to NYX’ soft matte lip creme texture.
✔︎ no bleeding, uncomfortable dragging or pulling of the lips.
✔︎ super matte finish.
✔︎ contains Vitamin E, Shea and Avocado Butter
✔︎  No Parabens.

CONs:

As much as I love them, these are the things that didn’t work for me:

⤬ Not long-lasting

• I tested these lippies and after meals, I noticed that more than 70% of the lipstick was removed. But do not worry because reapplying will not be much of too difficult.

⤬ Drying.

• I noticed that these are more drying than the regular lippie stix so be sure to take care of your lips (apply lots and lots of lip balm before you sleep).
