Best of ColourPop Lux Liquid Lips (Spring 2020)
ColourPop Lux Liquid Lip ($8.00 each) is described as having “medium buildable coverage” that has a “soft, diffused” effect. I felt like it was a better take on their Blotted Lips formula–slightly more flattering, more pigmented, and more comfortable to wear but not as matte (at least not initially). They seemed more pigmented than described as several shades were more semi-opaque or greater, so lighter application would be necessary to achieve true, medium coverage.
They had an airier, lightweight, and thin consistency that was more transfer-resistant than transfer-proof, so they were more comfortable to wear, though it still wasn’t the most consistently flattering finish applied to my lips. The wear time ranged from three to six hours.

There is a good range of shades here and generally, pretty good ratings too. And the lip glosses didn’t have that overly matte look finish either.
If I were to only get 3, they would be Lucky Cat, Hermosa and Southbound. Add a few more, they’d be Room Service and Daily Dose. I do love their overall appearance and opacity much more than the Ultra Blotted Liquid Lipsticks, though, even if that lowers their grade due to inaccurate description.
