ColourPop "Up and Away" and "Can You Knot" Lip Bundles
Liquid lipsticks are the entire craze right now and one of the top brands out there is ColourPop, which offers a wide variety of shades and finishes for very cheap prices. ColourPop’s Ultra Matte Lips are the most popular products and there are so many shades to choose from! There’s so many that ColourPop usually releases lip bundles so it’s just a little easier to decide which shade you want to buy and wear. Recently, ColourPop released their fall collection lip bundles with combinations of their glossy, satin, and matte finishes. I was able to get my hands (or should I say… lips) on two of their lip bundles – Up and Away & Can You Knot. Keep reading to learn more about ColourPop’s lip bundles and some swatches of the shades!

ColourPop’s Up and Away lip bundle is a trio of warm toned shades. The three shades are Love Bug, Mama, and Calypso. Love Bug is a rich mahogany matte finish, Mama is a burnt orange matte finish, and Calypso is a mid-tone pink satin lippie. My favorite out of the three is Love Bug. Mama looks too orange on my skin and Calypso is just like any other pink shade on me. I’m only speaking for myself. You never know what shade looks good on you until you try it!
Can You Knot

Unlike the Up and Away lip bundle’s warm tones, ColourPop’s Can You Knot lip bundle features darker, berry shades. The three shades included in the Can You Knot lip bundle are Hutch, Notion, and Sookie. Hutch is a deep blackened violet satin finish. Notion is a deepened raspberry matte shade. Sookie is a full-coverage rich plum glossy finish. Of the three shades in the Can You Knot lip bundle, Notion is my favorite. Hutch is a little too dark for me and I don’t like glosses at all… so Sookie is out of the question. But it does look like a great finishing touch to layer over Notion if you ever want to go from a satin look to a glossy look.
For the last few months, ColourPop has been my go-to for lippies. Like I said, they offer a wide variety of shades and finishes to choose from. Each lippie is about $6 and domestic shipping is free for orders over $30! For $30, you can get FIVE lippies. That would afford you just one (maybe two if you’re lucky) lippie from higher end brands. I will definitely be adding more shades to my collection. You can find more lip bundles and collections on ColourPop's site.

5 Favorite Fall Lip Colors
by Valerie N
The fall season is in full swing and with the cold weather come boots, flannel, scarves, pumpkin spiced everything, and of course… fall lip colors. You’ve got your choice between gloss, satin, or matte finishes. And beyond that, you get to choose your favorite range of shades from nudes, to pinks and reds, to dark stained lips. Wearing different lip colors are my most recent favorite way to finish my makeup look and to express myself. I’ll wear a certain shade all depending on my mood. When it comes to fall time, I usually lean towards darker shades. Keep reading to find out 5 of my favorite fall lip colors!
1. Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in “Fig”
The Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in the shade “Fig” is great for fall. The site describes the shade as “red grape” and I think it’s perfect for more casual days when you’re headed to class or meeting a friend for coffee. Unlike my other favorite fall lip colors, this product is satin-smooth and also works to hydrate your lips. It also contains ingredients such as shea butter, vitamin C, and vitamin E to protect your lips. With this lipstick, you’ll be looking… wait for it… legendary.
2. NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in “Vintage”
The NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in “Vintage” is the absolute perfect vampy shade for fall. NYX’s website describes the shade as “plum with mauve undertone.” I love their Liquid Suede line because the product glides on so easily and stays put for a long time. I can go a whole night without having to re-apply. The only thing about the “Vintage” shade is that it’s so dark but sheer, you have to apply a few layers or else it’ll look blotchy.
3. NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in “Soft-Spoken”
Another one of my favorite shades from the NYX Liquid Suede collection is “Soft-Spoken.” The shade is described as a mauve nude and it’s perfect for all seasons. I’ve worn it throughout the summer and plan on wearing it well into the wintertime. I’ve gotten so many compliments while wearing this color and will continue to use it until I run out… or find a new favorite shade.
4. ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip in “Tulle”
If you can’t tell by now, mauve nudes are my favorite lip shades. Another mauve nude that’s my favorite is the ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip in “Tulle.” Tulle is described as a dusty mauve burgundy. It definitely looks like I have wine stained lips when I wear this shade. And there’s definitely nothing wrong with that.
5. ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip in “Love Bug”
ColourPop’s Ultra Matte Lip products have easily and quickly replaced NYX lip products as my favorite. They’re cheap, easy to apply, long-lasting, and the perfect dupes for the Kylie Cosmetics Matte Lip Kits because they’re basically the exact same formula. Another ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip shade I’ve been wearing a lot lately is “Love Bug.” Unlike the other berries and mauves I’ve mentioned, this shade is more of a rich terracotta and I think it looks great on my warm toned skin. This is another shade I can see myself wearing during both winter and summer times.
