Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip

by Teky Frost - 9.8.16

'Ello, 'ello!

Ovi proizvodi već neko vrijeme čekaju svoju recenziju i ja zaista nemam dobro opravdanje za čekanje. Naime, ja sam Jasenku sa bloga Dođoška u svijetu šminke imenovala Ženom Godine 2015-e jer mi je donijela jako željene proizvode iz daleke Amerike. Njena dobra djela su vrijedna svake hvale - eto što vam je ljubav :) U američkom paketiću su se našli proizvodi o kojima vam danas pišem - Colourpor Ultra Matte Lip ruževi u nijansama Kapow i Be-dazzled.

These products have been waiting for their review for quite some time and I honestly don't have a good excuse for it. Anyway, I named Jasenka, from Dođoška u svijetu šminke blog, The Woman of the Year 2015 because she brought me some much desired products from faraway America. Her good deeds are worthy of all praise - that's what love is :) In the American packet there were producht which I am writing about today - Colourpor Ultra Matte Lip ruževi u nijansama Kapow i Be-dazzled.

Krenut ću sa osnovama - ruževi dolaze u jednostavnim, modernim kartonskim kutijicama na kojima se nalazi ime branda, "bling bling" ime proizvoda, naziv nijanse, lista sastojaka i ostali podaci vezani za proizvod. Unutar kutijica se nalazi pakiranje sa samim proizvodom, koje je napravljeno od čvrste plastike sa srebrnim zatvaračem. Kod mene su se malo obrisala slova sa pakiranja jer sam ih koristila prije nego sam ih slikala - nisam mogla odoljeti. Vrh aplikatora je malen u usporedbi s nekim drugim proizvodima, no meni se to i sviđa jer je vrlo lagan za rukovanje, a k tomu i precizan. U pakiranju dolazi 3.2 g proizvoda po cijeni od 6$ na službenoj stranici, a dobra vijest je da od nedavno šalju i van granica Amerike :D

Let me start with the basics - lipsticks come in simple, modern cardboard boxes on which are stated the name of the brand, "bling bling" product name, names of the shades, list of ingredients and other information about the product. Inside of the box is the packaging with product itself, which is made of sturdy plastic with silver cap. The letters on my lipsitcks got a bit wiped off because I used them before taking photos - I couldn't resist them. The tip of the applicator is small in comparison with some other products, but I like it because it is really easy to handle and quite precise. There is 3.2 g / 0.1128 oz of product for a price of 6$ on the official site and good news is that they recently started to ship outside the American borders :D

Tekstura ruževa je prilično gusta, no vrlo maziva i lijepo klizi preko usana. Suše se prilično brzo, te treba vrlo brzo raditi s njima kako bi se postigao lijep efekt. Pigmentacija je odlična! Jednim potezom dobijete punu boju. Kada se osuše budu potpuno mat. Trajnost je također dobra i na mojim usnama potraju do 7 sati bez popravaka, a mogu preživjeti piće i sušu hranu - kod masnije hrane se malo obrišu s unutarnjeg dijela i kutova usana. Uljnim odstranjivačima se prilično lako skidaju, a micelarna otopina ili mlijeko za čišćenje nisu baš učinkoviti po tom pitanju. Ono što bi nekima moglo predstavljati problem je činjenica da su ovi ruževi prilično suhi. Meni osobno to ne predstavlja problem, no ako imate suhe usne preporučujem korištenje balzama prije ovih ruževa kako ne bi dodatno isušili usne, ali to bi moglo malo skratiti trajnost.

The texture of lipsticks is quite thick, but easy to apply and spreads nicely over the lips. They dry rather quickly, so you have to work fast in order to achieve a nice effect. Pigmentation is amazing! You get full color with one stroke. When they get dry they are fully matte. Durability is also quite good and they last about 7 hours without touch-ups, and they survive drink and drier food - with greasy food they fade from inner part and corners of the lips. They are easily removed with oil based removers, but micellar solution or cleansing milk are not very effective in this case. What might be a problem for some is the fact that these lipsticks are quite dry. This is not a problem for me, personally, but if you have dry lips I recommend using a balm before applying these lipstick so they don't dry lips any further, but it could slightly reduce durability.

Kako sam već ranije napisala, nijanse koje sam ja izabrala su Be-Dazzled i Kapow.

As I've written before, the shades I've chosen are Be-Dazzled and Kapow.

Be-dazzled me je odmah privukla svojom ljubičanstvenošću. Inače sam ljubitelj ljubičastih nijansi i mislim da je ovo najljubičastija nijansa u mojoj kolekciji. Ima dosta izražen hladan podton, pa pod određenim svjetlom izgleda više plavo nego ljubičasto. Nijansa je prilično "hrabra", a nekima može djelovati i ekstremno. Iako mi je jako draga ne nosim ju veoma često. Uglavnom ju iskoristim za neki večernji izlazak. Nakon skidanja na usnama ostane blagi rozi trag.

Be-dazzled drew my attention immediately with its purpleness. Generally, I'm a fan of purple shades and I think this is the purplest shade in my collection. It has quite prominent cool undertone, and in particular lighting looks more blue than purple. The shade is quite bold, and some might find it extreme. Although I really like it, I don't use it very often. I usually use it for some night out. After removing it leaves a light pink stain.

Kapow me je također brzo privukla jer je baš neobična nijansa. Radi se o srednje tamnoj smeđoj nijansi sa izražajnim sivim podtonom - srednje tamna taupe, rekla bih. Iako mi se isprva Be-dazzled više svidjela, Kapow ju je jako brzo zamijenila. Ona je nosivija i manje ekstremna, no još uvijek hrabra nijansa. Još jedna razlika je da Kapow ne ostavlja trag nakon skidanja. Veoma je slična Nyx Lingerie Honeymoon, no malo je tamnija od nje.

Kapow also drew my attention quickly because it is very unusual shade. It is medium dark brown with prominent gray undertone - medium dark taupe, I'd say. Although I initially like Be-dazzled more, Kapow replaced it rather quickly. It is more wearable and less extreme, yet still quite bold shade. Another difference is that Kapow doesn't leave stain after removing. It is very similar to Nyx Lingerie Honeymoon, but a bit darker.

Uz svoju prvobitnu namjenu kao ruževi, mogu se koristiti i kao tuš za oči. Probala sam oba kao tuš i nisu mi izazvali nikakvu nelagodu ni iritaciju.

In addition to their initial purpose as lipsticks, they can also be used as eyeliners. I tried both as eyeliners and they didn't cause any discomfort or irritation.

Ja sam prezadovoljna ruževima. Za super pristupačnu cijenu od 6$ dobijete super-kvalitetne ruževe i jedino mi je žao što je poštarina prilično visoka, ali ako vas se nekoliko skupi da naruči i podijeli troškove, onda poštarina i nije toliko strašna. Još jednom želim zahvaliti Jasenki na ovim divotama i ovaj post posvećujem njoj :*

I am more than pleased with these lipsticks. For super-affordable price of 6$ you get super-quality lipsticks and the only thing I mind is that shipping cost is quite high, but if you order with a group of friends and share the costs, then shipping isn't so horrible. I want to thank Jasenka once more for these beauties and I dedicate this post to her :*
