When I first got into makeup I was one of those people that always wore heavy eye makeup and never put on a lip and now I really can't stand not putting on some sort of lip product. I feel like my lipsticks complete me in a way. It's funny how people change like that. I have loads of makeup products but my lip products probably blow every other category of makeup that I have out of the water in terms of how many I own. I have no shame in that fact and actually I may actually take a little pride in it. For instance as soon as I clicked "complete order" on this ColourPop Ultra Satin Lip order I just wanted to sit out by my mailbox until my order came.
Satin can often times be close enough to matte for me and the whole satin + liquid lip thing just really sparked some sort of curiosity inside of me (just like many other makeup products in general.) As soon as they came in the mail and I slipped one on my lips I knew it was going to be a love affair. Think of these of the much more comfortable version of a matte liquid lipstick. These Ultra Satin Lips dry down to a satin matte finish and feel super comfortable without the least bit of a drying feeling to be found. They don't smudge and can hold up to most eating and drinking. You will have to touch up a bit after eating greasy foods and there is a little bit of transfer but I think that is to be a bit expected. The lasting power of these is about 6 to 8 hours which I think is pretty impressive if I do say so myself.

There are sixteen shades and they are all super fun and unique with a nice range of neutrals, vivids, and darks. Clearly I stuck to what I love which is nudes and browns. I picked up three colors Mess Around - a medium toned beige with grey undertones, Echo Park - a warm toned peach nude, and Tansy - a mid-toned yellow brown. Each of them wears quite amazingly. They go on creamy and opaque right off the bat with a quick dry down time. I would say that the only variation in wear is that Tansy transfers a bit more since it is a darker shade than the others. Regardless the wear time is the same and the overall formulation doesn't seem to vary like it does in matte liquid lipsticks. I think that's a bonus because there's nothing more frustrating than having to wait between layers so your lip will lay right and not look like a patchy dry mess.
I'm seriously contemplating picking up almost all of the shades because this may just be one of the most comfortable long wear lip products I've ever encountered.
