ColourPop Lippie Stix in Cake, Tipsy, Brills, Raw, Charm, Bunny, Bull Chic, and Wet & Shadow in Cheeky, and Animal : Swatches & Review

PURCHASED
ColourPop Lippie Stix in Cake, Tipsy, Brills, Raw, Charm, Bunny, Bull Chic, and Wet & Shadows in Cheeky, and Animal.
The ColourPop Lippie Stix' & Shadows both retail for $5US each.

The size of the Lippie Stix at 1.0g / 0.0352 oz are 1/3 of a MAC's 3.0g / 0.1 oz bullet in term of product I thought to point out but you also pay 1/3 of the price.

The Shadows however are 2.1g / 0.07 oz which is the same amount as MAC's 0.07 oz

Product:
Lippie Stix's come in 5 formula's but I only have 4 right now.

The Satin formula is my favourite as there where very opaque with a cream finish. They lasted about 5-6 hours on the lips before fading. They feel really nice as well.

Pearlized is their metallic finish in their range, both shades where slightly sheer on their own. I recommend using a lip or eye pencil as a primer to get a more full look to the lips. Wet in particular you can actually colour shift based on what lip base you use. You can get some pretty cool effects with it.

Glossy is a nice formula but Tipsy I feel could get a bit sheer and uneven without a lip liner under it. It had a tendency to settle into the lip lines but i find most pastels do that as well.

Matte is a nice formula as well, the shade Bull Chic i felt had more of a satin finish on the lips as it wasn't a dry matte finish. The shade was very opaque and glide on the lips smoothly.


The Shadow formula I got was the Satin one in these two shadows. They are both very soft in texture and I would say just a touch drier then MAC Electric Cool formula from a few years back. The reason I didn't review the MAC formula was it just didn't have enough colour payoff.

These ones do a pop! Cheeky I did find a bit sheer but the shade is build-able with using a base. Animal was crazy pigmented. The shimmer particles do fade through the day a bit but the base colour lasted nicely on there own.


Colour:
Cake is a light coral pink with a Satin finish.
Tipsy is a slightly sheer bright pale orange with a Glossy finish.
Raw is a bright light turquoise blue with a Satin finish.
Brills is a light lavender shade with a Satin finish.
Charm is a pale mint green with a Satin finish.
Bunny is a slight sheer metallic verdant green with a Pearlized finish.
Bull Chic is a true black with Matte finish but feel like a satin finish.
Wet is a slight sheer metallic taupe with a Pearlized finish.

Cheeky is a slightly sheer light coral pink with flashes of gold and pink shimmer. It has a satin finish with a slight duochrome.

Animal is a bright light neon coral with gold/green shimmer. It has a satin finish with a slight duochrome.


Wear:
Close to 5-6 hour for the Lippie Stix's. The Shadows pull 8-10 hour without a base or primer which is impressive for the formula.


Packaging:

Lippie Stix are pretty cool. They are a slim body tube with a twist up top, with the end of the bullet on a slant. They are also colour coded on the end and a have nice snap on cap.

The Shaodw trays are housed in an open but extra deep jar, I think it's for getting the most airless seal out of the packaging with the extra deep screw on lid. Once you're done with the shadow you can take out the tray and reuse the jar. ;)

VerdictI was looking for unusual shade of lipstick and ColourPop delivered. The new spring pastels are launching today as well!

(I'm either have Little Rabbit Foo Foo or Here comes Peter Cottontail as ear worms now with all these pastels. ;) )
