Good evening, gals!
Today, I'm going to share my views about Colourpop's ULTRA MATTE LIP in MARS. Also I would be sharing a dupe! So yeah!
Let's have a look!

| COLOURPOP - ULTRA MATTE LIP in 'MARS' |
What Colorpop has to say about it:
"Whether you’re from Mars or Venus this red fuchsia will be fab on you"
What I like about it:
- it dries out to super duper matte.
- texture is good.
- doesn't dry out lips.
- stays on for several hours (that includes eating + drinking + meals). Yes, it will stay on your lips even after that! color pay off is amazing.
- suits South Asian skin. (I'm not too fair and I'm not too dark).
- scent-less. I totally appreciate it!
What I don't like about it:
- it transfers even after drying out to matte.
- pricey if you get it from Pakistani Facebook Makeup Pages...like I did.
Dupe?! Yes, please!
Who doesn't want something similar and a bit cheaper? When I got CP's Mars...somewhere in my weirdo brain I knew that it is very similar to a lip lacquer I already own (it was FML kinda moment for me. I wanted a different color...oh well!) So i swatch-ed both on the back of my hand. And dang! there are very very very similar in color/shade.
The dupe for CP's UML 'Mars' is: "Rimmel London Apopcalips in APOCALIPTIC -303 "

They have a very different formula though. What is different?
- Colourpop's Mars has matte finish while Rimmel London's Apocaliptic has glossy/lacquer finish.
- Packaging of Rimmel London's is really good for the price range. While that of Colorpop is tacky.
- Rimmel London Apocaliptic has vanilla-ish taste and scent to it. While Colourpop's Mars is tasteless and scentless (at least to my buds :D )
Where to get:
I got Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in Mars for: Rs. 1150/- + Rs. 300/- delivery charges = Rs. 1450/- (pretty pricey!!!)
I got it from a Facebook Page called 'International Makeup in Pakistan'. Prices may vary (range could be Rs. 1150-1200/- on different pages).
While, I got Rimmel London Apocalips from Al-Fateh and price range was Rs. 1000-1100/-
So for the price and something similar in color i think Rimmel London is quite good. But in terms of color range and matte Colourpop wins!
