My second haul from ColourPop.

I took this picture from my Instagram. I already reviewed ColourPop Super Shock Shadow in Nillionaire (top right).

I ordered two lip products from their Ultra Satin Lip. For this post, I will review the color on the bottom.

Thoughts: I've been wanting to try one of their Ultra Satin Lip. I heard it's the best lip line and I definitely couldn't refuse with Alyssa, my real name.

Here's a closer look at the color and the website describes it as "a neutral dusty pink." I have to agree with the description.

Here's a closer look at the applicator. It's hard to tell but there's one slant at the tip.

Here's a swatch of the lip color on my hand.

Here's how the lip color looks on me.

Here's an overall look. I honestly cannot remember what I have on the eyes but it looks good.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no noticeable scent while applying. I just sniffed the product and there's a slight scent. It's so minimal that you barely smell it. Secondly, the packaging of satin, glossy, and matte are all the same. It can be a pro or con depending on how you see it. I personally don't mind, but it can be hard to distinguish them apart if you have similar colors. The name of the color is on the bottom of the packaging. Depending on your eye sight, it can be hard to see. Thankfully, the packaging is see through which makes it easy to see the color. It's also very travel-friendly. It is well-made and the top closes tightly. Third, the consistency is in-between medium to thick and it's very creamy. It depends on how you apply it. It can be thick. When I first tried it, I pulled the applicator out of the packaging and just applied on the lips. The thick layer made me look like I had lip injection. Then again it can just be me who thought that. After the first time trying this product, I would wipe the product off the applicator inside the tube before applying. It just looks better on me. The thing I found interesting is that the applicator is small compared to other brands similar to this product out in the market. It makes it easy to outline the lips. With that said, it went smoothly and no tugging involved. Fourth, the color is a very neutral pink. It's a great color all year round. It's great for work and smokey eyes. It's also very pigmented. Lastly, it lasts until I eat/drink. With some people, it might last longer. I have a tendency to wipe my mouth after I eat. If you're looking for a liquid lipstick, this isn't it. It's a creamy lipstick in a tube. With that said, it's not drying and extremely comfortable on the lips.

Pros:
* No noticeable scent while applying.
* See through packaging so you can see the color.
* Travel-friendly.
* Sturdy packaging with a tight seal.
* Small applicator; easy to outline the lips.
* In-between medium to thick, creamy consistency.
* Easy to use.
* Went on smoothly and  no tugging involved.
* Great color all year round, for work, and smokey eyes.
* Pigmented.
* Lasts until I eat/drink.
* Not drying.
* Comfortable.
* Cruelty-free.

Cons:
* Can be hard to distinguish the lip product if the colors are similar.
* Can be hard to see the name of the color.

Would repurchase: Yes.
