Colourpop x Karrueche Collaboration

DSCI0039 2

Hey, dolls! I was debating whether or not I wanted to buy anything from Karrueche’s collection at Colourpop. However, after seeing some of the lip color swatches, I caved. Her collection includes 7 eyeshadows, 3 liquid lipsticks, 3 lippie stixs, and 1 eyeshadow collection. I didn’t want to go overboard and buy everything, so I simply bought 1 liquid lipstick in the shade Kae.

Before I even show you the swatch, I just wanted to share the cute little notes that come with your package if you order from Karrueche’s collection…

DSCI0029

Okay now that I’m done flaunting my notes, let’s look at the swatch! 🙂

DSCI0033 When you first apply the color onto your skin, it looks like an orange-brown. I absolutely love this color. However, on the websites, it’s described as “a deep warm yellow-brown”. Either way, I love the color. As you can see, it’s the exact color in the tube. However, once dried, it becomes a basic brown color. It loses that gorgeous rustic color. That is what pisses me off! I was so baffled and disappointed. I’ve had liquid lipstick change slightly when completely dried, but NEVER like this! I just wish that it would stay like the color in the tube. I’m going to keep the lipstick only because it’s a different shade of brown than the ones I own. It’s still a bummer though and I can’t blame anyone. I figure I should’ve just looked into more swatches of the color before buying it.

The Stash: NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams

Hey beauties! I meant to talk about these lip creams a long, long, LONG time ago. Of course, I would always forget :(. But now I’m ready to indulge and rave about how much I love these babies.

I came across these via Pinterest and I was dying to get my hands on Copenhagen and Transylvania. The problem was they were sold out EVERYWHERE and I refused to pay more than $6 for them. Instead, I picked up 2 other shades that I thought were pretty, Prague and Cannes. When Transylvania and Copenhagen came back in stock, I bought them with such a quickness! Now, my life is complete ❤

These lip creams are super comfortable on the lips, super soft, and long lasting. I literally couldn’t ask for anything more. They were my go-to lips pretty much all summer. Check out the swatches…

Left to right: Cannes, Prague, Copenhagen, Transylvania

Cannes: Described as muted mauve, but on my skin tone it clearly looks like a peach toned pink. This is my go-to color when I want to achieve a casual makeup look.

Prague: Described as a merlot, and I completely agree because it resembles my NYX Matte Lipstick in the shade Merlot haha.

Copenhagen: Described as a rich plum – it’s definitely my favorite color out of the whole collection.

Transylvania: A deep violet that’s a perfect vampy color for Fall.
