Of Toys and Co: RMK Color Pop Lipstick

Last year, another collection that drew my interest was RMK's spring-summer Color Dance Collection, mainly because there were dots. Dotted prints on the packaging, and dots pressed into the eye shadows, powder blushes, and lipsticks. Too bad I didn't like any of the eye shadow duos. Within these past few years, I've been using cream/gel cheek colors almost exclusively. But the lipsticks? Sold. I love dots ^.^

The Color Pop Lipsticks were available in four colors. The first two, 01 Turn the Music and 02 Glamorous Blonde, were much sheerer. The latter two, 03 Cocktail Party and 04 Happy Mind, were better pigmented but still looked translucent enough, so I went with those two.

All pictures taken in natural light without flash.

The packaging are pretty much the same as previous RMK lippies, chunky square shiny metallic tubes. Only these have blue dot prints on them. Likey.

The formula is also similar with previous RMK lippies, thin with lots of slip, and moisturizing with a glossy sheen. These also have a slight silicone-y feel though, probably because of the inner core. The outer shell is decently pigmented with natural finish but the transparent glittery core sheers it out a bit, which is fine with me. The texture feels a touch grainy with all the glitters but it's nothing unbearable. Both colors show up really well on my lips.

- 03 Cocktail Party: looks red in the tube but swatches and applies with zero red. On me, it's a medium pink and the blue glittery core imparts a pretty violet sheen.
