Beeper and donut. Aren't those just the cutest lippie names? These are the two shades I got from Colourpop!
Colourpop isn't available in the Philippines yet - good thing a friend of a friend recently flew to the States and back and brought these babies to us! :) I got so interested in these lippies because it's been raved about all over social media - and as a lippie lover, I just had to know what the hype was all about! Reviews have been double-sided too, with some raving about it, singing praises about how beautiful they are; while others hated it for its uber drying formula. I JUST HAD TO TRY IT OUT MYSELF.

| In my hands, you belong. |
Spent sleepless nights on their website, deciding on which shades I should order. You know me, I do my homework. I do my research before purchasing any product - especially lipstick!
Everyone who knows me lipstick-ally knows that I prefer pink/peach/coral shades over reds so instantly, I feel in love with Donut.

| Donut let b*tches kill your vibe. LOVE IT. |
And again, everyone who knows me knows that I don't usually go for nudes - but am a fan of Kylie Jenner, so I just had to have one of those Lip Kit by Kylie-esque shades! The rumor mills on Instagram have been running overtime with conspiracy theories of Kylie "stealing" the exact same formula, shades, etc. from Colourpop to create her $29 lip kits! *gasp* how dare you people accuse King Kylie of such acts! Well, yeah, so I went for Beeper because these beauty bloggers kept saying they look ~exactly~ like Kylie's Dolce K. So meh.

| Does it look like Dolce K to you? |
Be wary though that how they look on the site isn't really the same to how they are in person. Beeper, for example, is slightly darker and browner; while Donut is more "flashy" and bright (still kyoot though).
These Colourpop lippies retail for $6 on their site - which makes it a super STEAL!

| My favorite of all favorites: swatching! |
Truth be told, these beauties really do stick! I tried wetting my arms and they didn't mooove! Amazing!!!! <3 I did experience transfers when I ate and drank, but very minimal.
It glided on well on my lips (although, I had to prepare and scrub them the night before) and lasted the whole day. Lip swatches and 8-hour wear photos to follow - promise! :)
Pros:
- They're pretty affordable (Got mine for Php490)
- Stays on all day so you don't need to retouch
- The formula and consistency isn't that thick (or thin), so you just need one coating (do you even say that, coating?)
Cons:
- They ARE dry, so you'd really NEED to scrub your lips and apply lip balm before and after using this lippie!
- Transfers - you gotta be careful you don't stain your clothes, etc.
- NOT AVAILABLE IN THE PHILIPPINES. Boo! Hopefully soon though, someone sets up shop here!
Is there anything else I missed? Let me know! :)
