And Chill
ColourPop And Chill Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick ($6.50 for 0.11 oz.) is a deep, burgundy-brown with warm undertones and a flat, matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which could be built up to full coverage with a second layer, but the dry down was extremely dry, almost chalk-like, and had a more powdery feel that a second layer just worsened the end result. Once dry, the lipstick felt clingy and seemed to emphasize the texture of my lips. The color stayed on well for over six hours but was somewhat drying over time. I have struggled with deeper shades in this formula having a really uncomfortable, clingy dry down, unfortunately!

Formula Overview
$6.50/0.11 oz. - $59.09 Per Ounce
It is a long-wearing, pigmented lipstick that starts off glossy and dries down quickly to that super flat matte finish. They have minimal transfer with some of the lighter shades having almost none for the first few hours of wear, but any time you’ve had a meal, they lose that transfer-resistant quality to a noticeable degree. They tend to wear anywhere from six to ten hours with darker shades maintaining better color coverage and wear over a longer period of time.
Some shades get a little drying about two-thirds to three-fourths through the wear, while a few shades have been fairly non-drying even many hours into wear. They fade away evenly with most color loss occurring from the center of the lips if eating a more oil-based meal but the majority of color survives a meal.
Reapplication has been hit or miss and tends to depend on how well it wore away and how easily the shade applies normally, but reapplication tends to emphasize the lip’s natural texture significantly compared to initial application and gives lips a very wrinkled, dried-up look. I’ve layered gloss on top of some shades with moderate success, though it will obviously lose the matte finish and will transfer and I’ll get tiny flakes where the matte lip color has lifted by mixing with gloss but has been pretty minimal. The formula had no discernible taste or scent.

Buffy
ColourPop Buffy Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick ($6.50 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium-dark peach with warm, orange undertones and a flat, matte finish. It was richly pigmented and had a smooth, fluid consistency that wasn’t too thick or too thin, so it spread evenly across my lips but dried down fast enough that it did not settle into my lip lines and looked “cracked” when I smiled. The dry down was fairly comfortable and not clingy like And Chill. It wore well for six and a half hours and was lightly drying over time.

These look really drying and uncomfortable to me – the ‘cracked’ when you smile look is not too good.
It’s a shame Buffy is a color I can’t pull off because Buffy the Vampire Slayer was my jam as a kid. (I also had a fun time googling “epach” thinking it was a word I didn’t know until I realized it was a misspelled “peach.” LOL)
They look dry in the photos. Too bad because I like the color of And Chill. I hope some day felt-finish matte lip colors become a thing of the past. To me, those matte lips look like someone cut out some felt lips and stuck them on their face.
