Application tips
Apply your ultra blotted lip in a thin layer for most comfortable wear.
 To intensify your look, line your lips with a matching lippie pencil, this will help you achieve the perfect finished look and it will also give the appearance of fuller lips.

- I mean the description says it all. These are long lasting matte liquid lipsticks, but with sheer medium coverage.

- They come in the same clear plastic packaging as their other liquid lip and lip gloss formulas, silver lid and have a standard doe foot applicator. The shade name sticker is on the base. I do find like most Colourpop products the writing tends to fade off the packaging after a few uses. Wish they'd up the quality because the packaging looks so battered and tacky after a short while.

I've taken lots of pictures under various lighting Right-Left: Starlet, Tattle Tail, Zuma, Halo Effect, Vitamin Sea, Doozy, Soda Pop, Sleepy Eyes, Cypress Chill, Cherry On Top

- 3g of product for $7. Which is approx £5.67. Creamy thin formula.

- No added scent, just a bit of a plasticky smell but not at all strong or overpowering.

- They have a tonne of colours and are always adding new shades to the range. I'd love to own them all as I find all the shades have worked for me because of how sheer and forgiving the formula is. Also should mention that they set to a slightly more muted tone on the lips, not as bright or vivid as how they appear in the tube or when they're still wet, so bare this in mind.

I have the shades:

Starlet - diffused deep yellow nude - One of my personal faves, perfect neutral nude, this with a nude gloss on top is perfection.

Tattle Tail - diffused rose pink - Cute candy pink on my skin tone, pair with a darker lip liner

Zuma - warm nude - My holy grail, my love, my life! Perfect warm nude pink on my skin tone.

Halo Effect - warm nude with a hint of coral - Exactly that, peachier, coral version of Zuma

Vitamin Sea - orange terracotta - I pair this with Toffee to tone down the brightness, really nice for spring/summer

Doozy - warm rose - My go-to bright yellow pink, so so cute and pretty on the lips

Soda Pop - plummy rose - Exactly that, a plummy toned pink.

Sleepy Eyes - warm rose nude - I would say this is a rosy reddish mlbb colour on me. I reach for this a lot as well as the next one.

Cypress Chill - sheer brick rose - Deeper and a bit more burgundy than Sleepy Eyes, another go-to.

Cherry On Top - blackened plum - Gorgeous wearable vampy cherry bitten lips. The amount of times people have asked me what I have on my lips when I've worn this...! Can apply streaky so take your time with this shade in particular.

- Unlike other liquid lipsticks I don't wipe off the excess back into the tube, one doe foot application is enough for me and I don't need to dunk the wand back in and put on a second layer. They apply fairly easily, but I will say you have to take effort to ensure you apply the product as evenly as you can and blend out any streaks because the streaks will set too and will be visible.

This is the shade Zuma- my fave!

- I would say you have about 40 seconds to apply and spread the product around before it starts to set and they do set rather quickly. I personally don't think they layer very well so would suggest to only apply one layer or it starts to feel quite thick and rough on the lips and the product gets very crumbly. If you want to layer then I suggest you let one layer dry completely before applying the next.

While it's still wet...

Once it's dry, it's completely matte, no shine whatsoever

- They feel super lightweight on the lips for a liquid lipstick. I despise the sticky, tackiness of some liquid lipstick formulas, or when I rub my lips together and can feel that dry rough layer of product on my lips.
What I actually do with most of my liquid lipsticks (and I've shared this trick on my Instagram before) is apply a tiny amount of a pore filling primer to my lips before applying the liquid lipstick to prevent any tackiness.
I don't have to use any primer with these Ultra Blotted Lips, they feel so soft and smooth and I can feel my own lips when I purse them together. 

The bottom picture shows the thicker areas that were still wet and you can see they flaked off in those areas once they'd dried down in the top picture. Like I mentioned, one layer is best.

- Another quality I love about these are how soft, diffused and smooth they look on my lips. I have a lot of lines on my lips and find most liquid lipstick formulas highlight these lines and I don't get a smooth plump pillowy finish. Which is also why I use the primer step with traditional liquid lipsticks, using a pore filling primer smoothens and fills out the lines on my lips and gives me a much smoother fuller finish.

However I don't need to use any primer for the Ultra Blotted Lips, they give the lips a very smooth pillowy finish on their own.

- These are waterproof and smudge-proof. I love that these last as long as your traditional liquid lipsticks and because of their sheerness they wear off better too. Like liquid lipsticks they fade on the inner parts of your lips after eating but it’s not as prominent as a super pigmented liquid lipstick.

- I don’t have any negatives apart from the obvious that they’re not the most hydrating lip products and lips can feel dry after a while, but for a long lasting matte product they are immensely comfortable. You can apply a balm underneath or a gloss on top if you like, this will obviously compromise longevity.

- Another negative is that they do dry up quicker in the tube compared to normal liquid lipsticks.

- Another negative is that they’re unfortunately not easy to get hold of here in the UK as Colourpop are based in the USA and shipping can take between 2-3 weeks.

- Even though they are very affordable products, shipping to the UK is a flat rate of $10 for orders under $50. They offer free shipping for orders over $50 and thankfully customs and taxes are paid for at checkout so no surprises at your door. I usually make my $50+ orders during their sale period.
One thing I should mention is that I just noticed a lot of their shades in this line are missing, I really hope they aren’t discontinuing them...

- To summarise I love these Ultra Blotted Liquid Lipsticks, I love the shades and how wearable they are on me, these work so well with my brown girl lip issues. If you love matte stained lips you will love these! I can tell you one thing, whenever I’ve had one of these on, I've always been asked what I’m wearing on my lips, always! So that should convince you if this review hasn’t. It took me forever to make this post haha but I hope you enjoyed this review.
