Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip swatches & How to ship to the UK/ Internationally
Born and raised in the City of Los Angeles or as they describe as "the City of Angels", Colourpop cosmetics are a makeup brand that specialise in reacting quickly to the latest and greatest trends, creating killer and affordable makeup in every shade imaginable. With over 1.6 million followers on Instagram, the "beauty for cool kids" cosmetics are known for their luxury formulas at inexpensive prices.
One of Colourpop's most popular products that everyone wants to get their hands on are the Ultra Matte Lip liquid lipsticks. Available in 43 alluring shades, the Ultra Matte Lip are a thin and lightweight formula that glides smoothly on to your lips, leaving a very rich and intense pigment, with an ultra matte finish. Retailing at a relatively inexpensive $6, these long wearing and kiss proof liquid lipsticks are cruelty free, and no animal testing is ever performed at any point in their supply chain.
After swatching each outstanding shade and applying one coat, the liquid formula only took a few seconds to transform from a creamy whipped velvet liquid to a super intense rich ultra matte pigmentation.

A delightf element to Colourpop's packages is their personalised handwritten thank you cards. It is not often we get such unique and intimate customer service from online shopping. A handwritten thank you card says so much about the company, and their love and appreciatation for their customers.
At the moment, Colourpop ship to the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands and APO's. Unfortunately for us Brits, the company are currently working on expanding their shipment to the UK as well as other countries.
So how did we get our hands on the beloved Colourpop might you ask?
Using a mail forwarding service, we were able to shop from any online store and have our purchases delivered to a U.S shipping address provided by the mail forwarding company. And once the package was received at the U.S address, we had full control over what happens to our package next. And obviously, we wanted it shipped internationally into our awaiting arms. The company we used were comGateway.com and from our personal experience, they were efficient, affordable and easy to use. There are many other mail forwarding services that are reliable such as borderlinx.com.
