ColourPop Little One & @ Me Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Little One
ColourPop Little One Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick ($6.50 for 0.11 oz.) is a light, peachy brown with warmer undertones and a flat, matte finish. The color applied fairly evenly on me, though I could see that it had faint lines where I tried to maneuver and get the product into place along the edges of my lips. It had nearly opaque color coverage in one layer, which dried down quickly and sank into some of my lip lines. The texture was thinner,, more watery, and it seemed to emphasize my lip texture a little more as a result. It stayed on well for five hours and was slightly drying over time.

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.

@ Me
ColourPop @ Me Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick ($6.50 for 0.11 oz.) is a dusty, light-medium pink with subtle,w arm undertones and a flat, matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which needed a second layer for full opacity. The consistency was thinner, a little watery compared to other shades in the same formula that I’ve tried in the past. I was pleasantly surprised that it ended up applying evenly across my lips, but there was a bit of product that sank into and dried down in my deeper lip lines. It lasted well for five hours and was neither drying nor hydrating over time.

“Me” is really pretty, but I have similar shades in less dry formulas. I’m just not into dry mattes these days. My lips need hydration.
Little One had my lips feeling parched just *looking* at it! Whereas, @Me doesn’t look as horribly dry, I already know it would look horrid on me. Besides, I’m going further and further away from dry-down mattes and craving a more luminous or creamy finish lately.
