Packaging: These Ultra Satin Lips come in the same cardboard boxes as the regular ones, only on these boxes it says ‘KathleenLights x Colourpop’. The USL come in a clear bottle with a metallic cap and details, just like the UML. I always tend to throw away the boxes, but then I won’t be able to see that these were part of a collab, which I think is such a pity, I wish they would’ve done something different with the packaging.
If you’re unfamiliar with Colourpop’s Ultra Satin Lips (which I reviewed here), they’re just like liquid lipsticks, except for the fact that they have a satin finish instead of a matte one and that they’re not completely transfer proof.
In this newest KathleenLights collection you can find three shades in the USL. I was so excited to see that she picked two very wearable pink shades and a brown. I own so many lip shades by now, that it’s hard to find shades I don’t own already. And even though I have ‘similar’ shades to these, I don’t actually own anything that looks exactly like them. Also, I think it’s amazing how all three of these suit a variety of skin-tones. Kathleen uploaded a video where she swatched all of these on her lips, as well as her friend’s lips who has a darker skin-tone and I think these looked amazing on both of them!
November is a medium warm peachy pink. It almost looks like a muted neon, without looking too intense. It’s the perfect everyday shade whenever you’re in the mood for something a little more bold, but still not over the top. I think this shade would look absolutely amazing on darker skin-tones, although it’s a universal shade. For me, this is still very wearable.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’m not the biggest fan of these applicators. The applicator is fluffier than the other USL, which makes it harder to get a precise line. Nothing too drastic, but I thought I should mention it.
