ColourPop At Twilight, Dream Date, Happy Thoughts Lippie Stix Reviews & Swatches
At Twilight
ColourPop At Twilight Lippie Stix ($5.50 for 0.04 oz.) is a medium coral with strong, warm orange undertones and a cream finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, though it had a moderate amount of slip, which made it harder to apply perfectly evenly as color slid around and looked a touch patchy in places. From a normal viewing distance, the very slight patchiness wasn’t noticeable. The texture was lightweight, creamy, and a little thicker, but it was comfortable to apply and to wear for the four and a half hours it lasted for. The formula felt lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$7.00/0.0352 oz. - $198.86 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "full coverage" with a "long-wearing, ultra comfortable" feel. Because there are quite a few finishes in the range, some of the results depend more on the finish.
The matte finish tends to be thinner, drier, and firmer in the tube, and they can, occasionally, tug on my lips noticeably during application, but usually have good pigmentation and long wear; they range from non-drying to somewhat drying.
The Creme finish has a creamier, more emollient quality to it that has excellent pigmentation, comfortable wear, and good wear time (four to six hours); it tends to be a little hydrating but occasionally suffers from issues where product gathers in lip lines or they don't go on as evenly as they could. There's a soft, sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Dream Date
ColourPop Dream Date Lippie Stix ($5.50 for 0.04 oz.) is a light-medium peach with strong, warm undertones and a cream finish. The color applied oddly on me with the product looking almost like a yellowish-peach in areas and more like a pink-peach in other areas (like the center and edge of my lips). It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a more slippery consistency that felt creamy and comfortable to apply, but it slid around and pulled into my lip lines. It wore well for four hours and was lightly moisturizing while worn.

Happy Thoughts
ColourPop Happy Thoughts Lippie Stix ($5.50 for 0.04 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had rich color coverage that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without dragging. The lipstick felt denser but still had just enough creaminess to apply without issue. It stayed on well for five hours and was neither drying nor hydrating on me.

Happy Thoughts is a very pretty lipstick with a nice upbeat name. I don’t know if I have any exact dupes for it, but I have shades that are close enough that I don’t need to get this one. (Though spending $5.50 is not a big deal.)
I’m really liking Happy Thoughts, and how it’s right in-between a deep rose and a plum. Gorgeous.
These are pretty shades, but I am wishing that the nude lipstick phenomena would gracefully exit the beauty list of major brands as I think it unflattering…
Happy Thoughts is a pretty pink shade.
What the heck is going on with Dream Date? Happy Thoughts is lovely.
