colourpop | ultra matte lip

i've got more colourpop purchases to blog about! so, as some of you may or may not know, i don't really wear make up. but ever since january 2015, i've developed an interest in lipsticks. it started off w red & now has grown to maroons/burgundys/wines. so when i saw that colourpop was having a "buy 2 get 1 free," i knew i had to check it out. my package finally arrived (delayed by hurricane harvey) so i finally get to share them w you guys

so i started off w really wanting Saigon bc 1. it's red & 2. saigon is a city in vietnam. from there, i just looked for the darker colors bc there were a lot of light pinks (which i don't wear). eventually, i found the colors Avenue (which reminds me of the band every avenue) & Circles (which remind me the songs circles by hollywood undead & circles by pierce the veil)

when looking at the colors, Circles & Avenue look really similar, but on my skin, i can see that avenue has more of a brown tint to dull it down while circles has a bit more purple in it

honestly, i probably don't need any more reds/maroons/burgundys/wine lipsticks or i'm going to end up w 100 lipsticks w the same few shades. but what can i say, these were matte & from colourpop!
