Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

My favorite budget lipstick formula is ColourPop Ultra Satin. My top two favorite shades in this formula are Dopey and London Fog, followed by Molly, Echo Park, and The Rabbit.

I also have ColourPop’s Lippie Stix in Lumiere. It’s the only shade in this formula I’ve tried so far, and I love it.

I forgot about the Sephora Lipstories when I wrote my post. I have three (Oui, Brunch Date, and Pineapple Express) and they’re all really nice. My only problem with this line is that they’re hard to find in stores because so many shades are sold out.
