Catrice 270 Matt-erial Girl Ultimate Colour Lipstick Review

Hey everyone,

Hope you all are doing well. Brothers are the cutest beings on earth, aren’t they? They fight with us, behave their meanest best with us, yet they also know the key to our happiness. Wondering why I’m saying all this? Well, that’s because today the lipstick that I’m going to review is a part of the surprise haul that my dearest brother did for me on his recent trip to Germany. The lipstick is from the European drugstore brand Catrice and is a part of their Ultimate Colour range. The shade that we are going to talk about is #270 Matt-erial Girl. So, let’s hop on to the review.

My Experience with Catrice 270 Matt-erial Girl Ultimate Colour Lipstick:

The lipstick comes in a simple, round, glossy sturdy plastic case which has the brand name printed on it. The base of the lipstick case has a colour indicating sticker which has the shade name and number printed on it. The case click locks tightly and is super convenient to carry around. The lipstick bullet also has the brand name printed on it which gives it a classy touch. Overall, I would want to say that the packaging is simple, pretty and functional and has nothing very fancy about it.

Coming to the shade 270 Matt-erial Girl, it is a very pretty dark pink colour which looks beautiful against our warm Indian complexions. The shade has a super girly charm to it and a single swipe of the lippie adds that much needed glow to the face. This is a shade that I feel can cater to all age groups, starting from young teenagers to even matured women. Further, such a pink shade can pair well with ethnic as well as with western wear. I have heard dusky girls often complain that they cannot wear pinks as they tend to look washed out but this is such a shade of pink that can look great on all complexions.

The lipstick has really sweet, artificial fragrance to it which lingers for quite sometime post application and thus I would advise sensitive noses to take a look at the counter before taking it home. Texture-wise this lipstick is pretty amazing. It starts off as a creamy lipstick which can be swiped smoothly on the lips without any tugging or pulling, but after sometime the colour sets to soft matte finish which I really enjoy. The lipstick doesn’t emphasize fine lines and rather gives the lips a nice, well defined and even look. The lipstick can however get a little drying over time which can be taken care of by a single swipe of the balm.

As regards the pigmentation I must say that I’m pretty amazed. It’s richly pigmented and one swipe is good enough to give full coverage to the lips. Being an affordable drugstore brand I wasn’t expecting much in terms of the pigmentation department but this lippie has left me pleasantly surprised. The pigmentation is quite buildable. For a really intense look we can pull of 2- 3 swipes without running the risk of looking cakey which is a plus. The staying power of this lippie is quite commendable as well. Being a bright shade it stays well for 3 – 4 hours post which it starts fading. It leaves a nice rosy pink stain post meals thereby ensuring that the lips are never left bare. The stain stays on for a very long time and can only be removed with a makeup remover. The lipstick transfers a tad bit post application but once it sets, it doesn’t transfer much.
