Has anyone tried Colour Pop? I recently read a review on Phyrra and some of the shades are calling my name.
I'm seriously tempted to rename this thread "Down the Indie Rabbithole."Following because I have like....a TOE in the indie pool with my hello waffle order (Which I am dying to have show up) but I think this may be a downward spiral for me....
Annnndddd there's my next order when I have some money.My two current favorites:
Impulse Cosmetics
-Has THE most amazing lipsticks in the world. They come in two types, the popular Opaque Matte and the Metaluxe. I have many from both lines, and they are to die for. The Opaque Matte lipsticks are very heavy on the lips, and the textures run from creamy to quite dry but the color payoff is unparalleled and there are more than 40 colors in the line. They range from neutrals to wilds and there is a dupe for every single one of Lime Crime's colors. The Metalux lipsticks are more sheer, but like their name they are extremely metallic looking on the lips. I find this formula to be much more creamy and easier to blend - I actually prefer it, but the color selection is much smaller, only eight colors. They also sell lose shadows and glitters, which I have a few and like, but I don't know how the compare to other brands. You can buy samples of all the items on the shop, but the lipsticks are only $6.99 so I have yet to bother. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I may have to place a second order. Earlier today I ordered Girl Talk, Infatuation, Tough Love, Tango and Thrill. I should have ordered Electirc City for sure!@@marigoldsue In my experience, the lighter colors are creamier and the darker colors are a bit more stiff. All of them are a bit difficult to apply until you get the hang of it, because they are not like drugstore lipsticks that slide right on.
Which ones are you looking at? Like I said, I have most of them and can tell you on a case-by-case basis, if possible. Some of the swatches on the site are a bit different than they appear in real life, as well. In my experiences, the darker colors usually look lighter and the lighter colors usually come off darker in real life.
ETA: Didn't read all the way through! Some personal recs are:
Lighter
Ever After (creamy, neutral, will work well on most skin tones)
Storque (gorgeous warm-toned lilac, dupe for LC's Airborne Unicorn)
Electric City (A bit stiffer, but absolutely the most beautiful hot orange. Dupe for LC's My Beautiful Rocket)
Darker
Dahlia (best red in the collection, cool toned and perfect for any red lip occasion)
Run Away (this is darker in person than swatched on the website, perfect for anyone who wants a hot pink lip that isn't too bold)
Melancholy (very stiff and difficult to apply but is the most beautiful deep purple I've ever worn. Starts off sheer and can be built up. Dupe for LC's Poisonberry)
Funky
Bon Bon (creamy pale, cool grey. Somehow, though, you don't end up looking like a zombie when you wear this)
Daffodil (yellow, pure yellow. This is creamy, but the bright color makes it difficult to apply. You can't help but feel happy when you wear this. Dupe for LC's New Yolk City)
Good choices! I am really lusting after Tango right now... grr, maybe I'll have to put in an order. :lol:I may have to place a second order. Earlier today I ordered Girl Talk, Infatuation, Tough Love, Tango and Thrill. I should have ordered Electirc City for sure!
Please do. It's perfect!I'm seriously tempted to rename this thread "Down the Indie Rabbithole."
I also want Texas Tea pretty badly. And Toy Store Cowboy...but I don't know that I would ever actually wear that one.Good choices! I am really lusting after Tango right now... grr, maybe I'll have to put in an order. :lol:
We do need more truth in advertising. Done!Please do. It's perfect!
