Happy Tuesday everyone! I’m still recovering from my long and fun-filled weekend! I attended a wedding so it’s always fun to get glam for an event. You can check it out on my Instagram. Did you do anything fun for Labor Day weekend?
A few weeks back I purchased two new items that ColourPop released so if you’re curious about what I thought, keep on reading!
ColourPop Ultra Metallic Lip in Flitter
Described as, super intense color with high impact metallic pearls and a non-drying formula that is extremely long-wearing. The shade Flitter has a warm pinky undertone with flash of gold on top in a Metallic finish.
Pros
Cost effective at $6
Beautiful and unique shade
Smooth application
Good lasting power
Cons
Tube looks about half empty
Not very hydrating
Accentuates dry lips
Overall: As soon as I saw swatches of this shade on several beauty blogging sites, I knew I had to have it. The color itself is ah-mazing! It’s a nice pink shade that has gold swirled in it and pictures don’t do this shade justice. It glides on smoothly and lasts a decent time without heavy drinking or eating. I sometimes pair this with my Lancome Juicy Shaker to get a more hydrated feel. It does accentuate any lip imperfections so it’s a good idea to prep them beforehand. One of the biggest cons is that this tube looks half empty. As soon as I took the applicator out, I could see through the tube. I know it’s priced at $6, but all the other glosses are filled so I’m not sure what happened here. Other bloggers have complained about this issue too. I love the color so I would repurchase this again-I just hope they fix the half-empty issue.

ColourPop Ultra Glossy Lip in My Jam
Described as, “a full coverage gloss with a smooth pearl metal finish that does not contain any glitter.” (Note: This is the description for the Ultra Metallic finish). The shade My Jam is depicted as a warm golden nude shimmering with silver and gold in a Metallic finish.
Pros
Cost effective at $6
Hydrating
High shine without the glitter
Tube was filled with product
Cons
Not long lasting
Shade on website doesn’t match the actual color
Slightly sticky
Sheer
Overall: I like this color but in all honestly, it was very different from the picture on the ColourPop website. I was expecting a warm golden, sort of peach nude but when I pulled the tube out, the shade was more copper/brown like. It’s still a nice shade that has a high shine and is great for layering but I was kind of disappointed with this one. Though hydrating,there is little bit of tackiness and the color is pretty sheer so the lasting power isn’t the best. I would not repurchase this shade again.
Have you tried any new ColourPop items? Which are your favorites?

Sorry the lip gloss wasn’t what you were hoping for. I love the note they included though!
Me too. ColourPop always has cute notes they send along with your order. It’s a nice touch. 🙂
I just can’t get behind the metallic lip trend… I guess $6 each isn’t so bad to try these.
It is a bit different than a normal shade. However, I think these can be modified to make them a bit more wearable. For example, Flitter is a gorgeous shade but when combined with a lip oil, it tones some of the metallic aspect but still looks pretty.
These are so pretty and sparkly! Does the sparkle translate on the lips?
Yes. Flitter has sort of like a duo chrome thing going on. It’s pink but has a gold glow to it. My Jam has lots of silver non-glittery specks running through it and it definitely shows up.
I love ColourPop products, but I agree with you- I always find that the pictures/descriptions on their site never match up with what the product looks like in real life!
So happy to hear I’m not the only one to see that. It is just so disappointing when you’re looking forward to a particular shade and then it’s just not what you though it would be.
Agreed! I always prefer to find a post about the product to see what people have to say. Then I know I can trust it!
