ColourPop made many awesome claims about their Lippie Primer so I had to buy it but was it worth it?
Lippie Primer by ColourPop Cosmetics:
They claim:Our Lippie Primer enhances the wear of any lip product and keeps your lips looking and feeling healthy! Smudge-proof & anti-feathering, it fills in fine lines for a smooth application and longer wear time.
About the product: (packaging/weight)
This lip primer comes in the regular Lippie Stix packaging; white plastic and twist-up mechanism along with a click-shut cap. It contains 1 gram of product. It has a vanilla scent and goes clear on the lips.
Texture:
A creamy and velvety texture that goes nicely on the lips and even though you cannot see the product, you can feel it smoothing out your lips to a certain limit. If you try and use it on nack of your hand, trust me when I say this, you will instantly see a blur effect. I tried so hard to capture it on camera but couldn't.
CP claims that this primer enhances the wear time of lip products but to be honest, I did not notice much of a difference in that. However, with some of my less pigmented/blotchy lipsticks, the primer made them go onto the lips smoothly and enhanced the pigmentation.
It does fill in the lips to some extent but if you have lips like I do (natural lines), do not expect a miracle. As for fine lines, I do not have them yet but the primer does help with feathering. I do not have many lipsticks that feature on me but ones that do, they worked well with the primer underneath.
Price Point
Lippie Primer is worth $5.50 if you are going to wear it instead of lip liners and want better pigmentation from lipsticks that don't have a great color payoff already or if your lipsticks feather on you.
BUT, if you use liquid matte lipsticks, I would not recommend using the primer. Instead, lip scrubs and lip balms are better for prep. especially if you have naturally enhanced lip liner like I do.
Will I buy it again?
I don't like to use lip liners but lining with lipsticks can make a mess sometimes by feathering the product. Lippie Primer fills in those lines and gives me a smoother application while I still use regular lipsticks to line the lips. It is good to have a reasonable option at hand but I wouldn't miss it if I don't buy it, to be honest.
Final Thought:
Lippie Primer is a great product but it did not work exactly as it was described on CP's website but for US$ 5.50, it still works pretty well in a few ways. I did not find it moisturizing or miraculously enhancing the lipstick's longevity from 3 to 8 hours. If I am eating oily stuff, there is no way any lipstick will stay on me plus I am one of those lipsticks-eaters.
It does enhance pigmentation of some lipsticks and makes them go onto the lips, smoothly. I don't hate it at all but I am not able to love it either.
Again, I wouldn't say that I wasted my money but I definitely did not get the results that I expected.
