i'm so sorry for not completing my colourpop lippie stix swatches.. it's hard to take pictures nowadays, but i intend to finish it all soon.. hopefully the sun will shine brightly so i can take decent pictures.
okay.. so there are three pinks in my colourpop collection, westie, fetch and toucan. so far i have no luck in pink lipstick area. either it's too warm and make me look yellow or too blue that it makes me look sick. according to their website, westie is described as soft dusty baby pink in matte finish.
the packaging: it's in a pen form, that you can twist the upper body to reveal the lipstick. they color coordinated the upper body color with the label color at the bottom. they also put the shade name and formula at the bottom.. smart.. it's easier to pick when you store your lippie stix upside down.
the smell: i can pick a faint vanilla scent in all of the lippie stix.
the color payoff: this one is quite pale, so i need a couple swipes to get the color shown. it's not as creamy as the other lippie stix.. i don't know why. on me, it looks like baby blue pink. but not too blue to make me look sick.
the formula: this one not feel like creamy-turned-matte, i can feel this one become matte from the first swatch. i don't know what cause the difference..
the staying power: obviously gone with eating and drinking, and probably only hold for 3 to 4 hours top. somehow it fades into lines. but since it's quite pale, it doesn't show. but if you want to reapply, i think it's better to wipe the whole thing off first.
well, i can't say i like this one.. since it's pretty blue pink.. but i think it's okay.. not too blue, but not the "it" pink that i've been searching for.. if you're pretty pale, paler than me, probably it will look cool on you. on darker skin,hmmm.. i'm not sure. on medium skin it might wash you..especially on warmer skin tone.
