Looooove Chula, definitely want. Maybe Magick but idk, pinks go weird on me.
I think these are beautiful but the bottom row reminds me of the NYX wicked lippies in opacity, and those are much more affordable!
Right? There are a few dupes compared to NYX Wickeds for instance Cold Hearted looks a lot like Nayeona and Risqué looks similar to Plan 9 I was hoping Plan 9 would be more turquoise.
The texture on these looks a lot better than the originals! Hope they perform well. I’m very impressed with how opaque Plan 9 and Nayeon look.
This is why I /always/ wait for your swatches. The ones of Piaf and Plan 9 on twitter/instagram are totally different from yours. I’m not as interested in either of them now.
I do like Nayeon though and the swatch looks nice.
Yes! I was JUST thinking that. Piaf looks so different here.
Yeah it’s almost a dupe for MAC Antique Velvet, when in the twitter/instagram photos it looked more gray/taupe.
These look much better than the last batch of Studded Lipsticks!
I suppose I’m going to have to try on Piaf in person, as from every swatch I’ve seen so far, it just reminds me of poop with purple glitter (lol, sorry). Otherwise though, I am still interested in Chula!
I always use the expression “putting glitter on a turd” so this might warrant me getting Piaf, if only for that reason.
Same here, I love the way it looks on everyone but I need to see it on myself!!! ?
Magick and Tijuana are calling my name 😀 Bright reds and medium pinks are my comfort zone are far as lipstick goes, and I have yet to get a studded lippie! Might have to buy one (just for the collection addiction)
IDK, the darker more unique shades (last row of pics) don’t seem to apply the best, and NYX Wicked has done some for cheaper. The other shades look ok, but dupe-able. I’m eyeing Magick but pinks are tricky on me, worried it might wash me out
I wish I looked good in orange because Solo and Halo are gorgeous! I might pick up Mercy, that’s more in my wheelhouse.
I am not impressed by these colors for some reason…hmmm
Anyone else wish Chula was called Cholula?
As in the Massacre…? Actually, Chula is most likely a reference to Chula Vista, a city in SoCal.
As in the hot sauce! They’re the same color.
Magick is probably the most approachable but I’m kind of drawn to Piaf, strangely.
Oh I hope these turn out better than the last batch!
Hey Christine,just within the past couple of hours an add for “Stewart’s & Hamiltons” has been basically slowing the blog to a crawl on my PC. I had to jump on my phone to tell you.I’m not sure if it’s my computer or what? It’s a full page ad.
Oh, may there be a really awesome dupe for Piaf! Crazy color, but I’m on a revisit of the 90’s currently, so I’m wishing and hoping.
The must really edit the pics they use on Instagram… because Piaf looks nothing like I was expecting. I was actually hoping for more of a purple/greyish hue. I like the color in your swatch, but was definitely expecting something else. At least the formula looks like it has improved! I will definitely be looking into Magick. Looovvvve pinks!
Thanks for the awesome swatches, can’t wait to read the full reviews!
Piaf is one that I think looks different in every room, if that helps!
That does help, thank you so much for replying! It’s in my shopping cart… for now. Damn Rouge free shipping makes me a shopaholic!
There are some great shades in the line, but I simply cannot bring myself to pay $20+ for a lipstick, when there are sooo many comparable brands at 1/4 of the price…
I really want to like these some of the colors really float my boat. But the formula and performance scare me! Makes my lips hurt thinking about the dryness!
Lisa Eldridge, as in the book C mentioned, had this tip, which worked for me: put the balm on really early, ~20 min, even before any other m/u; wait for it to sink in. If you do that, you don’t get shrink wrapped lips and parched lips. The color still comes out matte.
I might just get Chula!
I’m liking Solo and Halo, with Solo being the only one that looks really unique to me. I’d normally be all over Plan 9 and Nayeon and Mercy, but Mercy doesn’t look so great in terms of quality, I have all the NYX Wicked lippies and also recently got OCC Cosplay (and Technopagan!) so I don’t feel compelled to pick these up. I only own one Studded Kiss lipstick – Poe (bought bc it was your favorite color of the last group of these!) but I am curious to see how these do!
Tijuana, nayeon and mercy look nice.
I’m having a lot of trouble trying to navigate the site now with the floating ads. I can’t scroll on my iPad without accidentally touching an ad, getting taken away from this site, and losing my place. I completely understand the need for ads. I think they were better placed before. This isn’t so much a problem on a desktop, but I always read your site on my iPad.
That ad isn’t new 🙁 It was on the previous version of the site as well. It shouldn’t float – it should stay at the bottom of the site. I’m not sure if we can disable, as I have spent the last six months fighting with our ad network on ones that are broken. If it is broken, you can send me a screen shot or tell me the advertiser so I can try to get it blocked.
Thanks for replying. I didn’t have this issue before. It’s not just one adversitior; it’s any ad at the bottom of the screen. As I scroll, the ad moves up with the screen then snaps back to the bottom. It’s strange because it’s just on the iPad.
I get the same issue. Some float, some cover the screen, then wipe down to the bottom, but there’s always something there. It does interfere. Regular computer is so much easier.
Love Mercy and Pia – great colours.
Thank you so much for the great swatches, Christine! I’m looking forward to NaYeon and Halo in this year’s set of Studded minis.
Halo looks great!
I tried on Piaf and it’s gorgeous!!! I wish the purple shimmer was just a wee bit…more…
My Sephora hasn’t gotten Plan 9 yet, but I want to see how it compares to the Nyx Wicked Lippies. The Nyx one is so frosty and very slippery, but that can be calmed down with some extra work. Chula is a great color, i didn’t think I’d look good in anything that warm, but oooh it was nice! Solo was like slapping a piece of American cheese on my lips. Not a good look. I could see it as a blending color or something. Hmm..oh and I was surprised NaYeon was SO chunky and glittery, it wasn’t as beautiful on as it was in the tube. 🙁
That entire top row is calling my name. Halo is screaming “take me home” lol. Can’t wait for the review, these look SO much better than the original release.
