Colour Pop iluvsarahii 3 Lip Bundle ($15.00 for 0.33 fl. oz.) is a new, limited edition trio that features one Ultra Glossy Lip and two Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks. The gloss performed largely as expected, while the liquid lipsticks were more so-so. The shades can also be purchased individually!
Tarte Remix Tarteist Lip Gloss ($20.00 for 0.20 oz.) has a clear base and contains multi-colored shimmer and larger flecks of micro-sparkle in copper and pink hues. It’s described as a “clear gel gloss” that has “reflective floating glitter,” a “cake batter” scent (noticeable when applied), and gives the illusion of “fuller and more luscious” lips.
It looked a lot more intense and dramatic in the tube, as it translated to a lightly sparkly gloss on my lips but didn’t have any noticeable shift and somehow, a lot of copper sparkle didn’t seem to reflect the light much. I expected a lot more oomph but much of the copper particles just sat there, though I didn’t feel them when I pressed my lips together. The texture was lightweight, smooth, lightly tacky (but not too thick, so it didn’t feel like glue), and very easy to spread across my lips. It wore well for three hours and was hydrating over time.

Colour Pop Twinkling Lights 4-Piece Lip Set ($20.00 for 0.44 fl. oz.) is a new, limited edition set that includes two lipglosses and two liquid lipsticks. Each shade is also available individually if that method of purchasing is preferred. My favorite was Night Light, which was a very festive shade for the holiday season and offers up an affordable take on a color combo I feel I’ve seen a few times this year. I was surprised that Lucky Star didn’t sit better on my lips, though.
Fenty Beauty Fu$$y Gloss Bomb Lip Luminizer ($18.00 for 0.30 fl. oz.) is a medium pink with soft, warmer undertones and lighter pink and gold pearl. It had semi-sheer coverage with a tint of warmer pink enhancing the natural color of my lips while adding a light-to-medium level of “coverage” from the finer pearl. The consistency was smooth, lightweight, non-sticky, and plush, which made it comfortable to wear. It wore well for three and a half and a half hours on me but was very hydrating. The gloss didn’t settle nor did it emphasize my lip lines, which was a major plus.

The formula is supposed to have a “peach-vanilla” scent (I’d agree–sweet, lightly fruity) and be “conditioning.” It was designed to be worn alone or layered over other lip products. The consistency was very smooth, light-to-medium in weight, non-sticky, and comfortable to wear. It had a plusher consistency that helped it stay out of most of my lip lines. The shimmer was moderate but noticeable, and it distributed evenly across the lips. They last about three hours on my lips but are hydrating.

MAC Hot Coco Bish Dazzleglass ($20.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a light-medium, golden brown with warm undertones and flecks of gold sparkle. It had more of a smattering of sparkle than what I’d expect for the Dazzleglass formula, which is, as the name might suggest, supposed to be rather dazzling. The consistency was light-medium in thickness with moderate tackiness, though it was spreadable and hydrating while worn. It had semi-sheer coverage, which is fairly in line with how it’s marketed. The gloss lasted for four hours on me.

The formula is supposed to have "medium coverage" with a "non-sticky, lightweight and moisturizing" texture that can be worn "alone" or over another lip color. They are vanilla-scented like most of the brand's lip products. The coverage can vary from shade to shade but most Dazzleglasses are semi-sheer to medium in coverage with light to moderate amounts of larger sparkles. They usually have a mix of finer pearl and larger sparkle/micro-glitter in them, though the consistency is thicker and helps prevent the feeling of glitter on the lips. The one thing I find to be untrue about their claims is with respect to tackiness--Dazzleglasses are absolutely tacky and moderately at that. Most shades last between four and six hours and are lightly hydrating.

MAC Silent Night Dazzleglass ($20.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium, plummy-purple tinted base with flecks of blue and violet sparkle and micro-glitter. It had a medium-level of sparkle and medium coverage from the base. For this type of shade, it applied fairly evenly with only minimal product getting into my lip lines, which was camouflaged by the sparkle and shine of the finish. The consistency was light-medium in thickness, tacky but fairly spreadable. It wore well for five hours and was lightly hydrating over time.
