Atta Girl
ColourPop Atta Girl Ultra Glossy Lip ($6.00 for 0.11 oz.) has a translucent base with flecks of iridescent sparkle and fine pearls in opal. The texture was smooth, lightweight, and mostly non-tacky with a creaminess that helped it spread well across my lips. The impressive part about the formula was that it didn’t emphasize my lip lines and made my bottom lip look rather smooth. It had sheer coverage with respect to the amount of shimmer/sparkle, so it was rather subtle on the lips; the translucent base and coverage seemed to be fairly in line with the brand’s description (not as shimmery as their promotional image, though). It wore well for two and a half hours and was hydrating to wear.

Formula Overview
$10.00/0.11 oz. - $90.91 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "hi-shine" with a "non-sticky" texture that "feels amazing" and includes five finishes "from 3-D pearl to sheer tinted colour." They are designed to be a sheerer formula, so many shades are sheer with a smattering of shimmer or sparkle and then a few are more tinted with sheer to semi-sheer coverage but no shimmer. Each gloss has a short, brush-type applicator, which worked better than I expected and didn't leave streaky results behind (in general). They had a sweet, vanilla scent but no discernible taste.
The "Tinted" finish ("glass-like shine with tint of sheer colour and no shimmer") was the least consistent--sometimes prone to unevenness and getting into lip lines, particularly with deeper/richer shades, whereas Pearlescent ("glass-like shine with subtle shimmer") and Prismatic ("glass-like shine with floating multi dimensional pearl and glitters") are sheer to translucent with the major difference being finer shimmer in the Pearlescent finish and larger, more glitter-like particles in the Prismatic finish. Both finishes tended to look plush and more smoothing on my lips. The Creme finish is a "medium-coverage gloss with a creamy finish that does not contain any pearls or glitter." The Metallic is described as a "full-coverage gloss with a mix of pearl and metallic finishes."
The wear time varied by shade but the sheerer ones tended to wear between two and three hours as the formula was, indeed, non-sticky and smooth, which made them lighter-weight and comfortable to wear but shorter wearing. A lot of the sheerer shades ran together, so I would recommend just picking up one or two rather than several as the differences are likely to be lost! Also, keep in mind that sheerer lip colors can look different from person to person due to much of the natural lip color coming through.

Double Agent
ColourPop Double Agent Ultra Glossy Lip ($6.00 for 0.11 oz.) has a lavender-tinted base with flecks of lavender and blue sparkle. It seemed translucent when swatched, but it did bring out the pink tones in my natural lip color (naturally, as it was sheer, how it looks on one person will vary based on one’s natural lip color, though). The gloss had a smooth, comfortable texture that sat particularly well on my lips and never emphasized my lip lines. It stayed on well for three hours and was moisturizing while worn.

Snow Day
ColourPop Snow Day Ultra Glossy Lip ($6.00 for 0.11 oz.) has a peach-tinted translucent base with flecks of pink and gold sparkle paired with a glossy sheen. It brought out the warmth in my natural lip color with sheer coverage in the form of shimmer/sparkle. It had a lightweight, cream-like texture that wasn’t thick or heavy, but it was very smooth and comfortable to wear. It lasted well for two and a half hours on me and was hydrating over time.

These are just barely there but I am really taken with this look! I can’t wait to see the rest of this line. Thank you, Christine!
A lotttt of them are similar, so I’d choose one or two but don’t worry about trying them all, LOL!
Very pretty. Is it me or do these all look pretty much the same once applied? I thought there would be slightly stronger pigmentation. I am not asking for opaque but something to make it look like you are wearing something other than a simple chapstick. Anyway, glad they scored well for those who purchase.
They are designed to be very sheer!
Lovely look as always Christine. How did you find the texture & feel of these compared with their older glosses with the doe foot? Many thanks. : )
Could you be more specific? The formula feels like other Ultra Glossy Lips, just that the three new finishes are sheerer, so you’ll have differences based on that (e.g. the sheerer finishes may be shinier because there’s less color/opacity, whereas a metallic finish may feel more shimmery on)… maybe a little plusher? As far as I know, they just have one formula, though.
Thank you, I wasn’t sure if they changed to consistency/texture of their formula as a whole to go with their new applicator.
Out of the 3, I do love Snow Day for a sparkly sheer topper! But I believe that I’d probably still love something like MAC Water Deities even more. These seem to be so sheer that it gets difficult to differentiate them from each other, although Snow Day does appear to be the more sparkly and noticeable one.
Oooh thanks for the review! I love this type of gloss. I wonder if I added a little bit of some variety of Mac Reflects pigments to the tube would I be able to get more sparkle without altering the texture. Hmmmm.
Yay, I’m so happy to see you reviewing this line! I’ve had my eye on the shades Champagne Mami and Fantasia so I’ll be looking forward to your review of those. These glosses are pretty basic but they do look quite nice on you.
