Colourpop Ultra Blotted Lip Review (Zuma)

Hello everyone! Happy Thursday, hope you're having a great day! As you all know I am a huge fan of Colourpop and was so excited when they released the new Blotted and Ultra Blotted lips. I ordered one of the Ultra Blotted ones (the shade is Zuma) and wanted to share my thoughts!

When I first tried this on, I wasn't a huge fan of the shade- it was a little too reddish pink on my lips, and almost made them look like they had a rash or I just rubbed them. But, I tried it again, this time using a tiny bit more product, and loved the shade so much more. Zuma looks almost exactly like the colour of my lips, a medium rosy pink. I really like this shade for everyday wear, but if you have a similar skin tone to me and want something more vibrant, you may want to try Out of Beach or Bit-O-Sunny, two shades I am very tempted by now:)

One downside is that there is some chunkiness on the inner rim of my lid which occurred after layering the product up a little.

As far as wear time goes, these were exactly what I expected- they wear off in a matter of one or two hours, which honestly is fine by me. These feel so, so good on the lips that I have no problem with reapplying. They wear off gracefully, no rings or weird stains left behind.

Colourpop says to apply just like you would a lip balm, which is exactly what I do. I put the product on my bottom lip, rub my lips together and then fill in any gaps. It dries down to a soft matte (reminds me of the NYX soft matte lip creams, but more moisturising) and layers BEAUTIFULLY under gloss. I love Zuma under Buxom White Russian gloss.

Top: Zuma (alone)
Bottom: Zuma with gloss on top (White Russian)

For $6, you really can't beat this find. I know that this summer I will be getting a lot of use out of my more lightweight, easy to throw on products, and will definitely be trying some more fun colours soon. Hope this was helpful, feel free to ask any questions below!
