Here are the Color Scopes "Matte Stick" lipsticks ($13). First off I like the packaging. It's a simple black square that feels heavy and sturdy in your hands. They have a lovely, mild vanilla scent to them. One of the first things I noticed while swatching is that several of these are NOT matte. While we still love them with the creamier finish, it could be misleading to someone purchasing online. The less matte lipsticks are guilty, jealous, anxious, and vicious. They're still beautiful but definitely not the same formula as the rest. The rest are a very true matte. They don't tug or drag while applying and they feel like a MAC matte on your lips (soft and creamy). Their website does say they are cruelty free so I'm sure a lot of you will be happy to hear that. What do you think of these?

Once again, Color Scopes is almost identical to MAC! These are just like MAC matte lipsticks.
