Where I got it: A few weeks back, ColourPop has announced on Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat that they are releasing new Ultra Satin Lips range and oh my god I’m so excited! I love their Ultra Matte Lips but sometimes I just don’t like to wear something so matte all day long and I think the satin finish is just so easy to wear every day! They were supposed to launch on 15/2/16, but delayed to 25/2/16. There have been posts on their Instagram of the new shades and I have already written down what I was going to order. So when the time came, I hopped onto their website and put everything I want in my cart. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get Dopey which was already sold out when I go online. :< Anyway, I ordered 5 Ultra Satin Lips and the order came to USD$30 and the shipping was around USD$17.50. Total came to around NZD$75 including shipping. I ordered on 25/2/16 and it arrived on 5/3/16 which is pretty good knowing the fact that they would be inundated with orders for their new Satin Lips!
What I got: I bought 5 of the Ultra Satin Lips from ColourPop – Echo Park, The Rabbit, Panda, Frick N’ Frack and Cozy.

How I find it:
Echo Park. This warm peachy nude is perfect, whether you are cruising to Chinatown or Downtown.
My favourite nude shade at the moment – my HOLY GRAIL! I have not been able to find the perfect nude shade for my lips in a lipstick, lip gloss, liquid lipstick, etc. until now! This shade is perfect on my lips and it looks absolutely amazing! This is definitely my-lips-but-better! It looks exactly like my natural lip colour and I love it because, during the day, my lip natural lip colour can drain a little and make me look sick (when I’m stressed or dehydrated, etc.). So this comes in just perfect so I don’t look sick or too made-up. I can wear this every day to work, to church, doing nothing at home, going out for brunch or even a night out! ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS.

Frick N’ Frack. You be Frick and we’ll be Frack and we’ll both look good in this rosy terracotta.
This one looks quite like Echo Park but a few shades darker. It is quite terracotta and is a great day to day shade that is not over the top for my lips, but provides a bit of colour. It definitely looks darker than in the tube when it is on my lips for some reason. No complaints because I love this shade. When it does fade, it doesn’t look obvious on my lips, it just looks natural because it does create a nice stain. Great for my yellow undertone skin.

The Rabbit. A bright fuchsia with a subtle blue sheen – batteries not included.
This shade looks amazing in the tube AND on the lips! Not for the faint-hearted, this shade is bright and vibrant! Great for going on during the daytime so you can see the actual blue sheen in the bright fuchsia! This shade will make my teeth look whiter and brighter. I wouldn’t really wear this to work or every day because it is just a little too much for me.

Cozy. You’ll be snug as a bug in a rug in this true orange-red!
I thought this would’ve been my favorite out of the bunch I ordered, but, unfortunately, it is not. Don’t get me wrong, this is a really nice orange red that would be a great pop of colour, but I would say that someone with a darker skin tone would look better in this than me. I feel kind of bare (on the face makeup) if I am not wearing foundation, blush, highlighter, eye makeup, etc. if I wear this on its own for some reason. It makes my lips pop out quite prominently and makes them look super big and wide (which I don’t really like the look of). I think I will need some time with this shade to get to like it.

Panda. You’ll be cuter than a Panda in this deep pink violet. And that’s saying a lot cuz Panda’s are soo cute!
Seriously a really nice deep pinky violet shade. The photo below seems to show this quite purple in the tube, but it is just lighting. The shade on the arm and lip swatch are a much correct shade. This is another statement lip shade that I wouldn’t wear every day but if I’m going out for an event or dinner out in town, I would definitely wear this out! Will look great in all skin tone I reckon, it seems to lighten up the rest of my complexion and I would wear a nice winged eyeliner with full lashes with this lip colour.

Overall: I would say that I am highly impressed with Echo Park which is just my holy grail lip colour from now on. It stays on really well, even though it does transfer, but even if it fades and rub off, it doesn’t make my lips look weird. I know that these are supposed to have a satin finish, but after wearing this for a few hours with transfer and rub off, it seems to sit on my lips like the original matte lips. If you press your lips together many times, it seems to change the finish to quite a matte look.
