I have been reviewing every product of my Colourpop haul for a while now, and the last one that’s left is the Ultra Matte Lip in Frick n Frack.

Halfway between a proper liquid lipstick and a NYX Liquid Suede, this lip product offers a high payoff on the lips and a comfortable, long lasting performance. Needless to say, the drugstore price is more than appealing.
Is it really all that good, though? Let’s find out!

PACKAGING
This aesthetic is simplistic, polished and cohesive all things considered.
–
Just like I said with Beeper, this applicator is slightly smaller than your regular one, giving me KVD ‘Everlasting Liquid Lipstick’ vibes.
One thing that differs from Beeper’s applicator is undoubtedly its softness. If the former was soft and gentle on the lips, this one feels a little bit more stiff. Nonetheless, the application feels comfortable and neat.
However, you may want to keep in mind that the wand does not move around too much. It won’t follow the curve of your lips or your movements, but that does not mean you’ll end up with a messy finish.
Another point I would like to make is that you won’t need to re-dip a second time to pick up more formula. In fact, this applicator will have all the formula you need to cover your entire mouth with.

APPLICATION AND FORMULATION
This formulation left me a little bit buffled (in a good way!), I am not going to lie.
Right off the bat, I can say I expected a much creamier formula from this satin finish rather than the matte one. Nonetheless, the finish on the lips surely looks and feels creamy – even if you put on a thinner layer.
The formula is packed with color and pigment, assuring a full coverage in one swipe only. You don’t really need to prepare a base for it to pop, since it’s perfectly even and smooth from the go.

Another point to this product’s favor is the smooth application. The formula glides on the lips effortelessly and evenly, creating a smooth and perfect canvas. Also, you won’t need to dip the applicator in again.
Continuing with the formula, I have to admit it’s one of the most comfortable I have ever tried. The lipstick sits comfortably on the lips without feeling heavy or sticky, which is something that only enriches the quality of the product.
Overall, this formulation reminds me of the perfect union between a NYX Liquid Suede, which is a cream lipstick in a liquid formula, and Colourpop’s Ultra Matte Lip, which is your classic and regular matte liquid lipstick.

WEAR TEST
Before jumping in, I just wanted to specify that I did not re-apply or touch up ‘Frick n Frack’ at all throughout this wear test. I wanted to give everyone a clear image of how it would actually perform, so here it is.
–
My wear test kicked off at 8 a.m. with a full face of makeup; I followed my usual lip-prepping method (scrub, balm, foundation) – that you can check out in this post – and went about my day. As you can see, my lips looked full and ready for whatever might have come their way.
–
I didn’t really indulge in anything after lunch, except for water and tea (which I drank using a straw); there were a few residues on the straw, but I would say the pigment remained quite prominent.
On the other hand, the dryness got a little worse and made my lips look quite dehydrated!

FINAL THOUGHTS
Here we are! All in all, would I recommend the Ultra Satin Lip ‘Frick n Frack’ by Colourpop? I certainly would.
–
I always have a wonderful experience wearing this formula, and nothing about it disappoints me. From pigmentation, to comfort, to performance – everything is always such a pleasant journey.
The formulation certainly is its strongest suit, that’s without question.
You get to play around with a formula that looks creamy without feeling (or actually being) too heavy on the mouth. Also, the lips are covered smoothly and evenly with a strong pigment that barely feels like anything at all, providing the most comfortable wearability.
However, you also have to keep in mind that this isn’t a proper liquid lipstick; this means that even if it’s meant to be long wearing, it won’t last as long as a regular liquid lipstick would. A proper base – scrub, balm and a subtle layer of foundation or concealer – would definitely make a difference, but the formula would still be a satin-matte that doesn’t dry down completely.

Once you keep these details in mind, I am positive you will have a more than pleasant experience with this Ultra Satin Lip!
