ColourPop Attention Haul, Crushin', Lesson Learned Ultra Glossy Lips Reviews & Swatches
Attention Haul
ColourPop Attention Haul Ultra Glossy Lip ($6.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a light peach with warm undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in a single pass, which applied fairly evenly and didn’t sink into my lip lines noticeably (from a normal viewing distance but the close-up photo showed a bit). The gloss had a smooth, spreadable consistency that felt more like a cream-gel hybrid–dense and substantial but not tacky or heavy. This shade lasted nicely for three hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

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.

Crushin'
ColourPop Crushin’ Ultra Glossy Lip ($6.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a muted, medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a glossy, cream finish. The lipgloss had nearly opaque color payoff in one layer, which adhered evenly to my lips with just a bit of streaking on the outer edges of my lips. There was a smidgen of product that sank into my deeper lip lines, but it was subtle enough that I couldn’t see it in person (just in the close-up photos). It had a smooth, spreadable texture that was lightweight, substantial but not sticky, and comfortable to wear. It stayed on well for three and a half hours and felt hydrating over time.

Lesson Learned
ColourPop Lesson Learned Ultra Glossy Lip ($6.00 for 0.11 oz.) is is a deeper, muted peach with warm, orange undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation–more than the medium coverage promised, though there was still some translucency to it. The texture was lightweight, spreadable, smooth, and never felt tacky to me.
It applied unevenly along the edges, as the brush-type applicator is poor for getting around the edges without moving the product too much. There was also a small amount of gloss that accumulated in my deeper lip lines, though I didn’t feel like it was visible at a normal viewing distance. It wore well for three and a half hours and felt lightly moisturizing over time.

Crushin’ looks like a decent MLBB or MLBP(inker) for an everyday sort of shade. I really do love it for that purpose, I’d say.
