ColourPop Limbo Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick Review
Did I mention that I’ve been obsessed with brown lips lately? Because, yeah. It’s starting to get serious. At first, I thought brown lippies would just fade into my skintone making me look dead. Or like a chainsmoker. But they’re actually very flattering! Since the 90s wave has made a comeback brown lips are everywhere and they’re super wearable and better than ever.
One of my new favorites is ColourPop’s Limbo Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick. It’s a warm chocolate brown with a slight red undertone and ultra matte finish that’s a must have if you love matte brown lips. I’ve been rocking it everyday for a little over a week now because it’s such a flattering spin on the classic 90s trend. The hint of red makes Limbo wearable and flattering on many skin tones from light to deep.
And the formula is really good for a $6 liquid lipstick! Limbo applies smoothly and evenly with a thin lightweight texture and intense pigmentation. It sets rather quickly but I like that. Limbo applies so well that I don’t need the extra dry down for mistakes or patches. Plus, the fast dry down helps make this baby pretty much indestructible.
Of course, there’ll be a little transfer with a creamy coffee or a greasy pizza but otherwise Limbo is pretty budge-proof. It lasts me between 7-8 hours before it begins to fade in the center of my lips. Which I can still carry on well into the night if I add a little gloss. The only drawback with Limbo is that it can start to get a little drying after a while. So you’ll really have to prep well before hand — exfoliate and moisturize well!
I’m a really big fan of Limbo though and the rest of the ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks so far. They’re a great alternative to Kat Von D’s Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks at a fraction of the price and come in a wide, funky color range with cool shades like Limbo. If you’re a brown lip junkie or a liquid lip fan I highly recommend placing a ColourPop order asap! Just be careful though. They’re super addictive!
That’s a gorgeous warm brown.
That’s a gorgeous warm brown.
It would look so pretty on you, Rachel!
I own Limbo as well & it’s a beautiful color. If you don’t own Grunge; I highly recommend getting it. Perfect brownish nude for brown skin beauties.
I actually do own Grunge and I totally agree! It’s the only lipstick I’ll toss on for no makeup days. It truly is the perfect nude lip for brown skin!
Oh wow, stunning look you’ve got there. You look like a model going in for a classy photoshoot! Limbo is a really pretty colour… have you looked at LAX much yet? It looks like a super romantic date-night shade on the WOC vloggers I follow.
You’re way too kind lol. Thank you!! And no not yet because it is ALWAYS sold out! Doesn’t help that I keep missing the restocks either lol. I’m totally kicking myself for not ordering it with Limbo. I’m dying to try that and Guess. Have you tried Guess yet?
Nah, I’ve been going through a bit of a CP disillusionment stage. ;P The only shades I’ve tried are 1st Base and Mars, and while lovely, I’ve got a huge-ass dresser drawer full of lip products that need love. Still, if LAX restocks and you’re around, I totally recommend it! =)
I admire your self control and totally need to borrow it for the rest of the year lmao! I ended up ordering Puppy Love eyeshadow for the cause and ended up checking out the liquid lipsticks to see LAX finally in stock. I couldn’t pop it in my cart fast enough lol. Now I’m dying for CP to catch up on their holiday orders so I can get my hands on it
Haha! I admittedly splurged on nail polish at ULTA yesterday and spent over half on my points, oops. That willpower could only go for so many months!
Oh man, lucky break, can’t wait to see you wear it! =D Grats on finally catching it – it was getting as elusive as Mew.
That color is gorgeous on you, and you look stunning!
Thank you Katherine!
