Color Studio Professional has recently launched in the UK with a good selection of colours and while I’ve never heard of this brand before now, it does seem to have been around for a couple of years at least. It’s on-line only at present, which would explain why it’s being so heavily sampled (globally) to bloggers – for visibility and accurate swatches, we’re the perfect vehicle to get the message out.
Despite professing to have a ‘break-though’ formula, I’m struggling to know what it is exactly. The colour range is pretty – and notably wearable; there is nothing to alarm those of us for whom a super-bright lip is a challenge although the shades are far more vibrant on the skin than they look in the bullet. I like the fact that the range is cruelty free and, unusually, made in Malta.
So from bottom to top: Heart Throb, Rebel, Twig, Korean Pop, Iced Mocha, Assassin, Crush, Dare Devil and Flirt. I think it’s the pricing that’s making me question these a bit – they feel like good, reliable, budget lipsticks but they’re £8.50 each. Up against at £30 lipstick, that is budget, but if you think Revlon lipsticks are £5.50, Rimmel, £4.99, Seventeen £4.99, Collection £3.99 and Bourjois, £8, it puts it more into perspective. I can’t work out who they’re targeting with this price point.
Anyway, perfectly good lipstick without being an amazing lipstick. The Color Pro Matt Lipsticks are HERE.

Still searching for my HG matte lipstick so will give these a go. Right now, the Stila all day liquid lipsticks are working best for me. Can’t wait for the new spring shades to be released. Thanks Jane!
